Immigrants in the US won’t serve in the military for citizenship!

This pathway was closed by Trump.

I wanted to serve in the military to earn my citizenship, that way the local can’t say I didn’t earn it.

Gimme one of them non-combat roles though, I don’t want any of that war business. Which is all pointless because the second a Russian asks him “what role did you serve in the military?” He’d simply reply “huh, can you speak English?” I also love the idea of him believing he’d be a correspondent despite being unable to speak Russian. Im sure his wife and daughters will enjoy their time in Russia when his military career blossoms.

The hell? What sort of 2b mechanical do you have, I didn’t even think of getting a 2b in mechanical that’s awesome. Nice sketch too.

The proper comment is here but I’ll quote. 

“In the future we are going to look back on seeing children use iPads that directly connect them to the most sophisticated engagement and manipulation algorithms ever as something as horrid as a child smoking a cigarette, or doing any other drug”

Are you aware of dark patterns? How’re they’re all through websites and games now? To the extent that AI now inadvertently writes websites to include because practically all data their trainings are polluted with them? Simply “educating” people out of what amounts to nearly hostile platforms and algorithms is ludicrous. I get a lot of the criticism for the bill I do. People try to pin this as people crying “think about children” and “just let parents work it out” are woefully misinformed and parent have been failing for decades now.

I also thinks it worth noting that the senators in opposition (and unsurprisingly now commenter) all seems to be using highly emotive language to criticise the bill. A lot of reducto ad absurdum going on as well (like 3 comments I’ve seen so far with “think of the children” nonsense). Frankly pretty telling.

I see a lot of people parroting surface level points provided by those in opposition to the bill but little addressing it. Especially the “social credit” nonsense. As mentioned in the debate digital ID wouldn’t be the only means for these social media companies to verify users. Though I agree that how it’s been rushed through is inappropriate.

Wasn’t the digital ID addressed in the debate? It seems the main refutations are “it won’t fix everything immediately” and “digital ID will be enforced for everyone”. The only valid complaints I’ve heard are about digital ID which is only one of the way the government will require these companies to verify if I’ve understood the debate. I think “a small portion will work around it” is a weak excuse to avoid dealing what has been a big problem practically since the inception of social media.

~~Welp went over my head, my bad, imma blame it on Poe’s law or something~~ satirical but critical of the bill my point stands.

If you think that’s a solid argument or one based in logic, good news. You’d probably make for an ideal liberal senator.
