It’s in the SOP to screw up all paperwork and screw everyone over as much as possible

I'm so jaded that I don't trust this announcement, I somehow find it suspicious.

Totally. The Zelda games are usually a great value - the music, art, story, characters definitely leave an impression

Imagine in this day and age a company that creates quality products and still thinks about their employees?! Weird… /s

It's bred into them. If you send your dog off to track, catch and retrieve a wounded animal, it needs to find its way back to you.

I had a friend in high school who joined the Marines to keep his family from being deported and it always seemed so dystopian to me that he had to do that just so he and his family could stay here.

I don't understand how they could be noncitizens and serve in the military... If they are willing to die for the country, and that country lets them in the service, how are they NOT automatically a citizen? Can they serve and be deported?? Honest to god never figured that was even possible...

Because Republicans made the process so complicated in an attempt to make it discouraging.

No.
Dogs make a lot of facial expressions. They can certainly bare their teeth out of fear or aggression. That's much different from a dog wagging its tail and grinning when its owner comes home and is ready to play. Dogs can have a sense of humor, and they can grieve as well.
We don't want to anthropomorphize animals too much, but we also don't want to strip them down to robots and pretend they don't have emotions. They certainly do.
I have spent over a decade working with animals.

Ahh I see. I couldn't find anything on what the gentleman in the article was originally charged for. Most articles just say the charges were "irrelevant".
Personally I think its important information. I served 10 years with a ton of great guys. A majority of us were people of color and non native born citizens thats important too. A bunch of us were great guys and a bunch of us I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw them. But you cant just use a solider and throw them away when you're done.. Oh wait, thats exactly what they do even to native born veterans.

You just need to have a green card to enlist. Can’t be a military officer if you’re not a citizen though.

I've been wanting and waiting for this for so long. You know that they, after serving their country and being deported, still saluted the American flag regularly afterwards? If you you're willing to fight and die for a country you're a citizen.

Love/hate relationship with Nintendo, but I do respect them for shit like this. Switch is a dope console, check out some games before you buy because I know people who bought one and barely play it. Unless you’re buying it just to support Nintendo and it’s employees, that’s cool too!

Cats too. My family moved from Michigan to Florida. Somewhere in Ohio, cat jumped out of the car at a rest stop. A year later during a visit with friends, they said she was living under our old house. Sure enough, there she was.

The Japanese government is really pushing hard for wage increases to match inflation. Meanwhile, the Fed is acting like rising wages are the sole cause of inflation. Fuck this country.

We've both got that but American gerrymandering is an art form.
They've got the electoral college, but their winner take all system basically excludes realistic third parties.

Business as usual. You either live long enough to get deported after volunteering to possibly die for a country or you die after the VA drives you to madness or messes up your medications until they never have to deal with you again. ‘Murica
