Oh, God, you have my eternal sympathy. I’ve had to go through two rounds of intensive language training for my job, with a third coming up. The way it works is that you basically spend five or six hours a day in classroom instruction, then do three or four hours of homework. Repeat every day for six to nine months.…

I was thinking either that or a typo, given that “I” and “O” are right next to one another on the keyboard, but if Dahm has the original mailing label on the package of stuff he bought from eBay, then that would probably rule that out (on the label, at least- wonder if it could have wound up correct on the label and a…

There was a big lawsuit about this back in the ‘90s, I think- the Mormon church isn’t legally allowed to keep you on their roles. This site has instructions on how to permanently, completely resign from the church in a way that will keep the mishies away. From what I’ve heard, their recommendations are pretty…

Not to mention that the Jews of Europe knew pretty fucking well there was danger, which is why a lot of them with the resources to get out did everything they could to get the fuck away. Only problem was, our fine country, bastion of liberty that it is, turned them away and more or less shipped them back to Europe to…

According to Professor Google, it’s from Look Who’s Talking Now.

In all seriousness, I get irrationally angry every time I see him in one of those stupid “Hello friend” shirts. I think the worst is the “你好朋友” one, which forces me to think of both the trauma of having to learn Mandarin and Bill Cosby’s grossness. 肏你妈, asshole.

A guy waving a sign that read “JEWS OWN COMCAST + NBC” wandered by; the top portion of his sign suggested we all “GOOGLE IT!!!” At some point, he hastily manufactured and affixed a back portion to the sign, reading “SNL = JEW PRODUCER.”

I’m a Mainer who used to work on the night train right after Bruins, Celtics and Sox games would get out. I feel uniquely qualified to comment on the likelihood of getting a beer mug in the face during some encounter with an angry Bostonian. And personally, I’d prefer straight up aggression to the passive-aggressive…

Already covered, courtesy of Reading Rainbow. But you don’t have to take my word for it!

Yeah, I know that, but there’s nothing passive aggressive about smashing someone in the face with a beer mug. That shit’s straight out of a bar in Boston.

Jesus. So much for “Minnesota nice.”

Spotify and Amazon streaming are the two apps I really want on my Apple TV and don’t have. Though I think both are now available (or Spotify’s coming soon) to the Xbox One, so at least I can get them that way. Honestly, just the news that I wouldn’t have to spend hours clicking away on individual letters to search for…

I deal with this stuff every day as part of my job. They will not take away your citizenship for not paying taxes- the U.S. government isn’t in the habit of creating stateless persons. You’re not even allowed to give up your citizenship voluntarily unless you demonstrate that you have citizenship somewhere else…

She may not have been pregnant when she applied for her visa- both China and Taiwan now receive ten-year B1/B2 visas (this is what’s used for tourism, medical and certain kinds of business travel- there’s no such thing as a “medical visa,” at least for the U.S.). It’s possible that she wasn’t planning all of this…

The government won’t take anyone’s citizenship for not paying taxes. That’s not at all how it works. It’s virtually impossible to strip someone of their citizenship, once they have it. You might get prosecuted (if you get caught, which a lot of people don’t, particularly if they don’t try to come back to the U.S. to…

This GIF is my everything. Or maybe this one:

She may have also lied to obtain a visa. Taiwan recently joined the visa waiver program, meaning that Taiwan passport holders can travel to the US without a visa, but going to the States for medical treatment (which would include giving birth) requires a tourist visa, so she could have lied on her online visa waiver…

Not necessarily. I’ve personally observed cases in which the parents of children in this situation attempted to get fake documents and false statements notarized and such to “prove” in-state residency to obtain in-state tuition. Another method is to try and claim that the kid has been living with relatives who live in…

I don’t actually have a problem with either abolishing or modifying the laws surrounding birthright citizenship (my preference would be to grant birthright citizenship to the child of any one American citizen parent or green card holder, along with the child of someone in the U.S. on a work or educational visa, but…
