Doing people a favor by discouraging them from coming here.

So who's betting with me that this won't be canceled ever, like TSA screenings, even if the US would find their way back to a democracy (after some very intense protests / a civil war 2.0 probably)?

No it's fine, it's a defense mechanism.

Oof you're going to have a real "fun" time at the border explaining yours lmao

Just to make sure I keep the promise to myself to never visit this country:

"Fuck the US and especially you, Donnie!"

As someone who doesn't have any social media, aside from this place, I always wonder what the reaction would be to me.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

from my experience dealing with nosy wouldbe-employers and being on an immigrant watchlist:

they don't believe for a second you don't use social media; and if you don't, then you did at some point, and they'll find it; and if they don't find it, then that's suspicious, because obviously everyone uses social media, so you must be a criminal, using some dark web social media. and then you get credit checked forty times, only for them to find you have no debt and thus no credit score, and then they just assume you're not a real person and call the cops.

Lemmy is a leftist platform, the devs literally calls themselves "Marxist-Leninists", so everyone here is guilty by association, they don't care about tankies vs anarchist vs Social Democrat vs Neoliberal, to the far right, you're all Maoists/Stalinists, which means you're kinda fucked lol.

Maybe if you were using reddit, and didn't post anything political, you could pass as an apolitical normie.

All those years of sarcasm, shitposts, jokes, photos of your pets, and memes will be the reason you won't gain entry into Nazi USA. 🤭

A speaker labeled "Palantir" crackles to life. "Wrong answer. Would you like to try again?"

Does this include my Lemmy profile?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Especially your Lemmy profile. When you have to explain "federated" to USBP, you know they're 5 minutes from welcoming you to the US with open arms.

You meant ready and loaded arms, right?

FIVE YEARS? That’s an eternity in internet time. That’s like asking you to remember your 3rd grade nickname.

Fun Fact: USCIS can see even juvenile records for the past 5 years, so if you just became 18, meaning, (example) that fight at school when you were 14 where you defended yourself against the racist xenophobia bully? That's on record. For adult records, they could see every arrest even if it never resulted in a conviction, and could make decisions based on arrests alone. Or of they have "enough evidence" suggesting you are a drug user or drug dealer, they could make you "inadmissible", even if there are zero arrests nor convictions.

For adult records, they can see all sealed records, expunged records, or even pardoned offenses, and make decisions based on that, and you're expected to answer honestly, otherwise if they find out like even decades after the fact, they can just revoke any visa, green card, or even citizenship. And all that was already a thing before this traitor scum got into office.

And people are saying "immigration is too lax", I'm like: Bitch, do you know how hard is it to get in? You probably don't even qualify had you not been born here
