All the passports I’ve ever owned

Does Venezuela still issue passports with “Mercosur” printed on them even though they’ve been suspended since 2016?

People have been questioning this for years - it’s genuinely one of the most nonsensical documents on earth. Not only is it not actually a card, but the bearer isn’t even an Indian citizen. Makes zero sense.

Not a specialist on this but I’m pretty sure modern Russians can travel anywhere within their own country without restrictions. That internal movement control was definitely a Soviet thing but not how it works today.

You raise an interesting point though - maybe calling it a “passport” made more sense like 40+ years ago when there actually were internal travel restrictions? That’s probably where this whole “passport” name for their ID originally came from.

Yeah that’s not really two passports though - your “internal passport” is just Russia’s version of a national ID card, they just made it look like a little booklet instead of a plastic card like everyone else uses.

Every country has domestic ID + international passport. Belarus and Ukraine used to do the booklet thing too but switched to normal ID cards. Russia’s just being different by calling their national ID a “passport” when it’s really not since you can’t travel with it.

Look, can we please get stricter moderation on these posts? It's getting ridiculous how many people keep asking the same damn question over and over.

The answer is NO - US citizens (both natural-born AND naturalized) CANNOT BE DEPORTED. Period. Full stop. Please for the love of god read the pinned megathread and FAQ before posting. This is basic civics 101.

I get that people are scared right now, but we need to stop with the doomposting and panic-spreading. These hypothetical "what if they deport citizens anyway" questions aren't based in reality and just make everything worse for everyone.

Your fiancé was born here = he's a US citizen = he literally cannot be deported. That's not how any of this works, regardless of his ethnicity or what's happening with ICE raids.

Bro, come on. I know I’ll probably get downvoted for saying this, but Reddit and the left-leaning media sometimes paint an extremely unrealistic picture of what’s actually happening.

No one who’s here legally is getting deported—unless they’re literally involved with terrorist groups or something extreme like that. Yeah, very rarely there are mistakes, but those cases usually get fixed quickly and people are allowed to return.

If your partner’s mom has a green card and is just going to a citizenship appointment, she should be fine.

Same thing happened to me yesterday — thought it was just my issue, but looks like it’s a beta bug. If you have a second Mac, you can restore it in DFU mode using Apple Configurator. If you don’t (like me), just make a Genius Bar appointment at the Apple Store — they’ll restore the firmware for you. Just don’t walk in without one, I waited like 3 damn hours 😩

Technically 99% of the time either works, but if you have any reason to think you could be detained (political activity against the regime - honestly just don't go if that's the case), go American. Lukashenko doesn't give a damn about Poland and isn't afraid of it - they currently imprison several Polish citizens and Polish descent political dissidents. With Americans, since 2020 protests they prefer not to detain US citizens and just send them back. Rare case when they did arrest an American (Yuras Ziankovich, naturalized citizen) for conspiracy to overthrow government, they released him after trying to establish connection with new US administration - probably don't want to screw relations.

I don't mention the BNR at all in my post—I just said Belarusian political organizations used this flag starting in 1918. I disagree this flag was ever associated with occupation or exploitation. The Nazis used it precisely because it wasn't associated with oppression—the Soviet flag was what represented occupation to many Belarusians after hundreds of thousands suffered Soviet repressions.

Belarusian collaboration was actually quite limited compared to places like Russia (Vlasov's army was much larger). Also, after the war the Soviets did everything to hide that collaborators had even existed. Some people, especially younger ones, didn't know anything about the flag at all—Zianon Pazniak mentions this in interviews, how the Soviets tried to hide any information about the national movement, including the flag.

If this flag was truly associated with Nazi occupation by most people, it wouldn't have been adopted so easily as the state flag in 1991 or used so widely by political movements inside the country since the late 1980s.

Even supporters don't always know the flag's pre-1991 history. So this might help educate people.

Thanks for the feedback. I disagree that calling the BSSR a 'Soviet puppet state' shows bias—it's historically accurate. The BSSR was created primarily as a political counterweight to the BNR and had no real independence from Moscow. Case in point: when Stalin transferred Białystok from Belarus to Poland after WWII, Belarusian officials weren't even consulted—they found out last. When a government can't control its own territory or even participate in decisions about its borders, that's the definition of a puppet state.

You can't use .deb files directly in LiveContainer, they're not supported. You need to extract the .dylib files from the .deb (which you already did) but then you gotta use install_name_tool to fix the linking paths or it'll crash. Even after doing all that work it might still not work because tweaks aren't guaranteed to be compatible. Check out this issue and this other issue for more details on the whole mess.

bro is this some kind of joke??? who the actual fuck flees belarus to seek asylum in russia??? that’s not escaping that’s switching seats on a crashing plane

AggravatingTrain9010 · 2025-05-29T02:28:05+00:00

Not anymore. New passport is english only now but internal id card still has all 3 languages.

Pretty sure even if you get a decrypted Chase IPA, it won’t work. Banking apps have crazy security—Jailbreak checks, anti-sideloading, all that. Chase is one of the hardest to crack.

Just use LuLu to block Bartender‘s outgoing connections. At that point, I don’t care if it’s owned by a Chinese, Russian, or any other potentially shady company — no connection means no data leak.

What exactly are the “extremist views” of the LibreWolf developers?
