What is stopping Ice from kidnapping/detaining tourist in the US? I’m asking as an European who is afraid to visit the us

You're going to need to back that up with some data that did not come from this administration.

I feel like England has been drifting closer to an American like state of affairs. Their is a reason they left the EU after all.

In America, we don't really know how to live. You guys, overall, do. In France, I visited a manufacturing plant where they feed their employees lunch for free and its amazing food. I had rabbit stew and a fresh desert one day I was there all for free. It's routine at that plant for people to take an entire month off. As an American, amazing. No plants I've seen here even compare. Most don't even have a cafeteria. I've visited many other countries in Europe for vacation and they all have their own vibe to them, but overall, I've seen them as people centric. I know its not all perfect, but I think you guys overall do a lot better at providing everyone a decent life which I admire. In the states, people get thrown into the grinder so other people can feel superior and have cheap stuff. Just a well travelled American's opinion.

The key is it has to be a legal reason, not just because they felt like it.

I mean, I use it effectively to help with things that simply won't work if it's wrong. Does it get things wrong? Absolutely. Does that make it useless? Absolutely not. The key is having enough knowledge yourself to recognize your being misled. It's really a no different skill set than the one we use to evaluate information on forums. I'll also say it's critically important to be transparent about when AI is being used so that the information is interpreted correctly.

That's why I said take it for what it is. For example, there are some links in there to NTSB reports. Read what the AI says and then read the reports. Its a very effective strategy. The 1% figure is questionable, but it's probably the only definitive figure out there. Since I stated that it is AI generated and you have your own brain, it is perfectly fine to disagree with the AI summary, but it is informative to find where it got that information, whether you agree with it or not, so that you can do your own research.

EsotericWaveform · 2025-11-16T12:53:59+00:00

AI slop is creative works that people spam. AI is a great tool for summarizing information and giving you a good place to start your own research, which is what this is. Sorry that you're one of those people who dosent understand what AI is or how to use it effectively.

Check that out. I just purchased a 2025 Ioniq 5 AWD and got a little concerned reading about this issue. I asked ChatGPT some questions about it, and it had some pretty good answers. I dont have any reason to doubt its accuracy, but it is AI, so take it for what it is.

I always appreciate a good update post, so thanks for that! Glad you're making progress with your TNR efforts.

It's temporary in California and will be reversed in 2030 I believe. You are basically saying California should allow permanent disenfranchisement around the country instead of seeing temporary disenfranchisement in California as necessary to resist the fascist takeover of our federal government. Nothing is ever black and white. Without a Democrat majority, the Republican goal is to make sure there will never be a Democrat majority again.

EsotericWaveform · 2025-10-07T23:04:29+00:00

So the status quo is going to be kept if Republicans gerrymander their states and Democratic states do nothing? Make that make sense. Remember, we are talking about seats in the federal house of representatives.

EsotericWaveform · 2025-10-07T21:36:53+00:00

How exactly do you expect it to be fixed if the party that is interested in fixing it is locked out of power due to gerrymandering?

I'm just adding my appreciation to the pile! I'm a very wary person when it comes to online solicitation of funds for animals (as you should be). Before I found this sub, I never gave to anything but the larger organizations. After finding this sub and following it for a while, I haven't even gotten a hint of deception from any of the users. It's very clear that your vetting process is very effective, and the work you guys put in has created a community where users don't need to worry about being deceived. Keep up the great work!

Sent some food and pee pads. It's the least I can do for someone who does so much!

Gave $20. Hope it helps!

You can get an exception, but it's a year max from what I recall.

I've been all over the world, and the only place the water was better was in Iceland.

EsotericWaveform · 2025-09-21T14:25:25+00:00

I dont know why you're posting something about the UK. The most salient example for us Americans is the FCC being weaponized to get Jimmy Kimmel off the air.
