Actually.... I think they do. I bought a gun recently and it asked all the stuff about whether you are a citizen or not. That's just one of those funny things about the bill of rights - it applies to anyone stateside and any citizen abroad.

Yeah, that one stunk of him being a literal spy. Hard to tell from the lack of information from our few remaining journalistic news sources though.

Yeah they wanted to hurt the elite universities - but they missed their targets and will instead hurt all of the third tier state schools that actually have low enough barriers to cater to everyone.

That's only true for private schools.

Yeah, immigration laws in other countries are very difficult. The US's immigration policies are vastly easier, even with the politics and bureaucratic hurdles, quotas and lotteries, because there are at least legal pathways for people without tens of millions of dollars. If I wanted to become a citizen in any other first world country it basically can't be done. I could get a permanent visa in some of those countries because of my education and profession - but never citizenship.

Now some of those countries may be opening up their citizenship process to take advantage of the brain drain. The US is going to lose so much more than just money. It's truly heart breaking.

It literally means freedom from consequences by the government. Not from society. Sure he could've been a social pariah and people would've been within their rights to ostracize him. But it is unconstitutional for our government to threaten him with legal action as a result of his politics.

Apparently a ton of the tech bros are part of cults in SF that practice rationalism. Some offshoots of rationalism attempt to "jailbreak" the mind into psychopathy. They quite literally teach that psychopathy is a net benefit for the individual and they strive to become psychopathic as a tool for success.

I strongly support the notion that any federal assets sold off illegally by trump should be imminent domained.

They don't want to compete. That's not the point of any of this. They want to strip it for parts because Trump has rang the dinner bell for the vultures to feast on everything we have built in this country.

I suspect the real answer is because Microsoft wanted to monetize Minecraft in a way which was not possible with legacy sales. I bought minecraft back in alpha with the promise that I would get any and all updates and future editions for free with purchase. Microsoft legal saw that agreement and knew it was incompatible with their business goals. They knew that incorporating a microtransaction store would basically require unlimited currency for players like me who had purchased it long ago. So the "simple" answer was to re-implement the entire game without the legal encumbrance of the legacy purchases.

Trump utterly destroying the US's economy may very well be the best thing for global warming. No one will be able to afford meat. It's rice and beans for everyone!

Yeah I'm just gonna have to take my old reddit strategy of rolling a new account once a month.
