Are Americans the only non-EU nationals that have to go through EES biometrics when traveling into EU/Schengen zone? I’m pretty sure that’s not the case.

Now, I wouldn’t be surprised if many Americans don’t know we’ve been doing this to non-US nationals visiting the US for years via our US-VISIT program.

FYI, only like half take the original or modified (which is what you’ve posted) Hippocratic Oath. The other approx. half take other oaths.

2026 statistics, it’s 53/46 male/female gamers in the U.S.

Women are gaming. They are probably just not in voice channels as much as men because who wants to deal with unmoderated sexist abuse while trying to enjoy a leisure hobby?

Roadkill doesn’t come with a nutrition label

RFK Jr., US Secretary of Health and Human Services (probably a real thing he said)

Joke aside, US gets a ton of produce food from around the world so if we’re having a problem due to quality of soil the food is grown in, other countries are too. The question is framed oddly.

Do you like Flanagan’s other TV shows? We have plenty of adaptations of Hill House, but his is my fave. I don’t even like Stephen King that much but I’ll give this Carrie a go because it is by Flanagan.

Feelings seem to vary quite a lot on him, esp around the character monologues.

I watched The Wrong Girls last night. Stupid stoner movie. They nailed it. And the stoner buddy duo are two women; they managed to flip the typical stoner movie gender without being annoying about it and using it to work in actual fresh jokes. Still a stupid stoner movie.

Would pop a gummy and watch again some day.

Letterboxd users already have a hard-on for A24. The meme comments would only get better.

Interesting choice for the article writer to not include even a sentence or two about what the TV show is about. Given the minimal information provided, I will assume it’s a remake of Beauty and the Beast set in modern times and gender bent. Still a musical though.

Economy. I can sleep sitting up.

If traveling for work, they cover business class for flights over 6 hours. So you bet I’m trying to cheese any flight to London to juuuuust exceed 6 hours.

Am a lady. Neither the religion I was raised in (Catholic) nor the author’s (Baptist) let’s ladies be priests. Saved from a shitty religious life by misogyny 😎.

(Or maybe the author just forgot ladies exist)

Makes sense. I can’t recall the last time I watched a late night show while it aired on TV. My youngest siblings (mid twenties to early thirties) have never even owned a TV. Any late night shows I would see are in clip form on YouTube or other internet platform. Short form, please, give me the good bits with ads I can block.

Take a modern first aid class. Some of the things taught in recent decades (mouth-to-mouth CPR, tourniquets, heimlich maneuver) are no longer advised for. And as certain tools became readily available for trending problems (NARCAN for opioid overdoses), new trainings are prioritized that someone going through first aid classes a decade-plus ago wouldn’t have learned about.

“Normal” first aid today will teach about scene assessment, AEDs, chest compressions only CPR, and NARCAN. A wilderness first aid class would teach things with the assumption trained medical help is not 30 min or less away (broader scope of scene assessment, tourniquets and splinting bones, hypothermia, animal bites, evacuation, +).

Is there some internet rule about declarations that include criticism of generations younger than the OP? I just imagine this is coming from someone standing in their front yard, shaking a fist at the kids zipping by on ebikes and mumbling about how OP wasn’t so lazy back in their day, having to provide full pedal power as Jesus and our great nation’s Founding Fathers intended.

I know plenty of folks in generations older than mine that can go thru life glassy-eyed at times. I also help with a scout troop where I cannot get those little shits to shut up with their “why, why, why?” I challenge that you are in a bias bubble. Or maybe you’re hangry and a nice slice of avocado toast would make you feel better?

Edit: okaaaay, I was 50/50 on this being a troll but now all in. The thread in which OP was “called a Nazi” included OP protesting that can’t possibly be true because they’re an Ashkenazi jew. Ranting against younger generations, pulling the “but I’m Jewish” card, arguing for no moderation of Nazi and CSAM trash. What’s next, OP has many gay and/or black friends and they totally gave OP permission to use slurs? Someone break out the internet troll meme bingo cards.

FS1 must be unimpressed with Nebraska this year. Mid-play, they cut away to a Ohio State touchdown. The disrespect!

Nebraska. They should win against Ohio-not-State this week and I think they have a good chance at a bowl game this year.

2nd team is Iowa State; intra-state big’un Iowa State v Iowa is next week.

Yep. Even if it’s 1 in a 1000, that’s still once or more per week at a busy bar. Our bouncers closed their night when us bartenders were all safely to our cars.

Nice win for you. Congrats on the new family.

People who hate on their spouses, bragging when they’re “in the dog house”. Divorces exist, Brent, you don’t have to stay married to a person you hate.

also they were saying that normal rules don’t apply at a border

Yeah, and call it my middle class white American audacity but I’d be willing to go toe to toe with them on that BS for quite some time. I’d be focused on keeping control and being the most pristine accuser in a civil rights lawsuit that there ever was.

I’m read up enough on US Borders and customs policy to know them confiscating and hooking up my phone to a laptop to try to crack my password is a different thing than manipulating me into volunteering my pin. That’s what they’re trying to do, pressure people into “voluntarily” giving their pin, which gets the cops off the hook for following their protocol for conducting searches within their more restrictive rules for cracking into a device. Same as letting them in the front door of my house, if a person “voluntarily” lets cops into their house when the cops apply pressure, the homeowner has allowed them out of all the rules and oversight that come with getting a warrant.

I turn off biometrics and power down. They can ask for the unlock pin, I can decline until they produce a warrant and I can request an lawyer. My risk profile is sufficiently accommodated.

I can see someone with a different risk profile, say, an online presence showing vocal criticism against Trump and goons, and/or not white and/or not a native born US citizen and/or has a travel history to muslim-majority countries might want to take further measures.

I’ve just skimmed headlines and seen a short or two on the guy who gave LEOs the distress pin. I’m not sure why he didn’t decline to give them his pin until they produced a warrant, but I think giving a destruction pin was not the brightest idea. But also, fuck the cops and double fuck border cops playing these racist, fascist games with people’s lives.
