And you just pointed out you missed my point. This was uplifting to OP, so OP wanted to share that happiness. Others in other threads have shown that it brought a smile to them as well. So it is uplifting news. Think of it as a nightly news fluff piece.

You do realize that can mean an unwillingness to take responsibility for the consequences of their service? Traumatizing people and when they snap, kicking them to the curb?

I think you and others are missing my point here.

I’m genuinely glad OP found joy in this. We all need more moments of that in our lives right now.

My point is that for a sub called uplifting News, the expectation is that just about anybody who isn’t a sociopath should be able to read the title and feel that same joy. The fact that OP had to explain in detail how this connected to their life and how that brought them joy, something that is specific to their lived experience, means this is simply in the wrong sub.

I read the title and thought “ok, a company is making money selling a product”. Like it isn’t even really news is it? It’s just a focus piece on how this company is profiting off of pandemic effects and some musicians. Which again, that’s fine, but it isn’t uplifting news. An infinite number of posts could be made for every company that makes anything that anybody has any positive connection to or memory of. Seriously. We can each find some obscure product tied to a warm and fuzzy memory and make a post about it couldn’t we? That’s just life.

Post like this just water down these subs.

Actually, if you serve in the French Foreign Legion, you WILL get French citizenship after a few years - if you want it. You can even get a whole new identity, papers and all.

Trust me I understand your point.

My cousin is an American citizen, she has never lived in the USA, now she had kids with a Dutch man she married, because how the laws are in the USA she cannot ask for her kids to be citizens. Her father (who she has not spoken to in 20 years) is the one who has to request citizenship for the kids.

Yes, all of that. This is the corporate bottom line, as usual. Profit protection. I don't think things will change unless there are meaningful, deterrent consequences, and for corporations that translates to financial consequences.

One excuse that corporations use to skirt the law is "complied with their legal duties". That's always so infuriating. That is a core problem, the legislative framework that allows loopholes and get out of jail free cards. That needs serious change.

Apparently you have to live in the US to join the US army - I thought it was just people joining the US army like in Ukraine or Spain. It made things a bit more sensical, still stupid they don’t get political rights - if you put your life on the line for a country the bare minimum it could do was to concede you full political and civil rights.

Specially messed up because, you know, the US is somewhat fond of war crimes and what not, but they actually have the power to just say fuck you to the International courts and protect its war criminals from prosecution. In cases like these, of non citizens being deported, it kinda opens the opportunity for them to get sent to an international court. Basically doing that government dirty work and then being thrown to the wolves.

The news may not make you happy, it however did make OP happy. That right there is enough to spread happiness.

No pee pole, no mun nee !!

“Baseline price” isn’t even a real term. The amount of people who have been buying games has increased a lot yeah, but that doesn’t mean their profit per game has increased. Which is unknown for the Zelda games. If is possible that we haven’t gotten a real new Mario Kart or Mario Bross game because they are investing so heavy into Zelda. Not sure, but it would warrant the higher price.

Imo the people who are so against the price increase should just buy it second hand for less but hey

No. Illegal entry can be charged as a misdemeanor (8 usc 1325) but rarely is. Illegal re-entry after a formal removal can be charged as a felony (8 usc 1326) but again that's fairly rare and you more see it used in extreme cases where that wasn't the only crime, or in cases of people who repeatedly get caught doing it.

Administrative grounds of inadmissibility resulting in voluntary returns or final/expedited orders of removal are much more common.

If they were unlawfully present (regardless of entry method, so visa overstays and illegal entry) for more than 6 months or more than a year, and then departed the US, that also triggers administrative grounds of inadmissibility that bar later legal re-entry for certain periods of time, but would not be a felony.

This is retarded. It makes equally as much sense to sue everyone who fills up their car with gasoline.

It’s true, it’s pretty easy to lie to the general public with politics controls our access to information.

Lets just not hope for the book 1984 to become entirely true.

I really hope so! It would be good of for a change this is bullshit that has gone to far.

ITS NOT FLAWED IF THEY NEVER PLANNED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

so you're a non-US citizen and you do JROTC, then ROTC, then you're an officer and suddenly you're out of status and then boom... you go back to the country of origin on paper???

wtf is that

That's why these deportations were so effed up. Non-citizens serving in the US armed forces have long been told it's a path to citizenship. Heck, I was told this in JROTC over two decades ago.

Yes, games haven’t increased in price but the amount of people who buy and play games has skyrocketed vs 10-15 years ago when it was first raised to $60. It’s not like gaming has subsided or is in a shrinking market it grows every year. So even if the baseline price hasn’t increased the profit from sales is high. Not against the $10 raise but if the promise was to get rid of all the bullshit micro transactions and etc I’d pay $80-90 for a complete game.

Only in the US huh 🤔

>doesn’t let anyone enter or leave

That's not true because thousands of Gazans regularly work in Israel (mainly in fields like construction), but I'm not going to defend the blockade.

The government offered Israel doesn’t let anyone enter or leave, what part of that don’t you understand

Get a lawyer and go to the recruiting station, see if you get anywhere.
