memeoffice.

didn’t think msoffice would be the easiest platform to build memes/diagrams on.

I actually didn’t even know office could build something that complicated.

thanks

huh, i much prefer libreoffice to msoffice, i can’t even think of a reason why anyone could prefer msoffice.

Im a but gobsmacked at the notion.

what do you use the drawing for?

he’s right.

China has invested a ton of money and diplomatic efforts in Southeast Asia for the past 5 years, and for the next four all Xi has to do is point at Rump to negotiate closer ties.

China is the safer economic and defense partner at least until rump is gone, and probably for much longer.

thank you I was wondering about the public reaction to the mines closing, since it does seem like a good thing on its face, no you’re absolutely right that a problem doesn’t need to be handled the hardest way.

interesting to hear about the cycle coming around again with steel workers now.

that was a great write up and an appreciated explanation, have a good one!

You’re incorrect, residency and language fluency are not new residency requirements for Italian citizenship, although the proposals I brought up(that have not been signed into law yet) are being expanded specifically for ancestry petitions.

You can try again.

nothing says they were.

I don’t think language proficiency is a new requirement, but good to know, thanks.

The residency I’m pretty sure is new, it used to be 10 years for citizenship through residency.

I’m curious to see if this new law will get ratified.

thanks!

that’s the article I was originally referencing and then referenced again.

did you understand that article differently than how i’ve summarized it?

Thanks, I meant intentional deportations of US citizens.

got it.

as far as I’m aware, it’s just the “great” part that changed. it’s not so much that Italian immigration laws have become overly restrictive as they were so broad before as to proving Italian heritage.

The current Italian citizenship restrictions are still a great deal easier than most other countries.

basically, as long as you have a parent or grandparent who is an Italian citizen or became one, you can become an Italian citizen also by filling out a form.

i was pretty lazy about it, I’d like to see the results of other breadsperiments.

oh shoot I just thought they got rid of the “great” part and you can still become a citizen if you have italian grandparents, what are the new restrictions?

Italy and Ireland were like the last two countries that you could claim citizenship through great-grandparents, but I think Italy just ended it this year.

thanks for posting this, it’s the first I’ve heard of maybe a US citizen being deported.

I’m looking into related posts to find corroboration and explanation for the term “parole” used here.

not with regard to this specific situation, since white people have been deported or turned away due to their visa status, but under this administration anyone not white should feel way more targeted than they might be under other administrations.

update: Blue sky users are apparently receiving threatening letters using the phrase their “parole is terminated” despite being us citizens; I can’t confirm anything, but I’m looking into it now.

so far naturalized citizens are not being harassed or detained.

everyone i’ve heard about being turned away or deported so far has a green card, visa or is in the US illegally.

it’s certainly a terrible situation and a slippery slope, but as far as I’m aware naturalized citizens are not facing that treatment yet.

pretty rough and crumbly and crappy.

it was impossible with the kitchen tools I had on hand to grind it into a fine enough flour to my liking, I just had a generic blender, but my whole reasoning for the experiment was “i bet I could make bread out of bread.”

and it was moderately successful in that regard. what emerged was properly identified as bread.

although I chucked most of the loaf in the trash because that was its flavor profile.

i did this! yes.

rump pissed off the factory of the world and now the country with the highest population in the world is also letting him know he’s in some shit.

heartwarming.
