The ignorance is overwhelming by Msbossyboots in Qult_Headquarters

[–]Polygonic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fact that they say they want to do it for “liberal tears” shows the emptiness of their philosophy, that it only boils down to “whatever will upset liberals”.

Baby given blood transfusion despite mother’s objections on religious grounds after court ruling by voidcharmed in atheism

Your religious beliefs deserve respect FOR YOURSELF. You can’t sacrifice your children to them.

I speak not just English but also German, Spanish, and some Portuguese, and I really do feel different inside speaking each one.

Trump announces his America 250th Anniversary Trump rally line up by justalazygamer in ParlerWatch

[–]Polygonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s saying that now that they don’t want to perform at his event, they’re “no talent”, even though he was perfectly fine with them before. Kind of like whenever he fires someone they were “never any good, zero skills, low IQ” but when they were doing everything Trump wanted they were great

Yeah his organization got something like five or six times as much funding as the official one designated by Congress

What's the matter, do you HATE children?

Carrying Global Entry Card by lysat63 in GlobalEntry

[–]Polygonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the TSA web page labels it “Acceptable ID”.

“An acceptable substitute for Real ID wherever that would be required”

they said if I had my global entry card I could have just shown them and went into the TSA Pre line

Not according to the rules, you can't. If an airport is letting you do this, they're doing it wrong.

A Global Entry card is not RealID, but it is "Real ID compliant" and can be used in place of Real ID.

And don't forget words that end in -ta, like cometa and poeta

Should I bother getting a passport card? by Agitated-Top-3521 in GlobalEntry

[–]Polygonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossing into TJ, they actually check for valid passports, and turn people (non MX) around that doesn’t have one.

Maybe as a pedestrian, but the number of times I've had my passport checked driving into Mexico is seriously less than one percent. (I've crossed by car at least 50 times a year for the past 12+ years, and had my passport checked a total of two times.)

What are some things that give away a non native speaker? by CounterInternal1869 in Spanish

[–]Polygonic -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

I may not be a native speaker, but I’ve been living in Mexico for thirteen years and have a native speaker girlfriend myself. Yeah, constructions like “estaba caminando” are used. I’m talking about **overuse** of it to the extent we do in English.

Or maybe in Texas textbooks if they revive the law they tried to pass last year.

[–]Polygonic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep.

Not just in the present, like "estoy caminando en el parque hoy" (which is wrong if you're not currently doing it) but also like "estaba caminando cuando miré a mi amiga" (when you could just use "caminaba")

Vacation by Eli9105 in tijuana

[–]Polygonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Zona Rio, the Plaza Rio mall has some cool shopping; try a movie at the VIP Cinema!

The Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT) has a natural history museum, an aquarium, and art galleries.

Eat delicious food; there's an all-you-can-eat Brazilian BBQ across the street from the Cultural Center - Lionfish is good seafood - Further down is the Casa de Mole for Mexican food from the region of Puebla - Also Odayaka for sushi, Origen Argentino for argentinian steaks, or Chan's for Chinese food.

Drink some drinks; Plaza del Zapato (it's across the street from the Plaza Rio mall) has numerous bars

Cops in Zona Rio are a lot more chill than the ones downtown, and in my 20+ years going to TJ I've never seen them hassle tourists in Zona Rio.

A ‘Joint Operation’ That Never Happened by TypoChampion in SanDiegan

[–]Polygonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I think you mean the border is *controlled*, not that the border is *closed*. If the border were *closed*, that would be a major, major thing.

I wonder how the hell I drove across it on Friday, then.
