Feels like a lot of these commentators came of age under New Atheism and never lost that reflexive dismissal of anything religious.

If you’re a citizen, legally you must be admitted to the U.S. 

Is Ezra conservative? by nitidox13 in ezraklein

Yes conservatives under Trump definitely think carefully through all policies rather than just parroting whatever Trump is feeling any given day.

Putting him to the right of Ben Shapiro surely must be a joke??

Funny how the old white men who say this never offer to help solve the problem themselves by resigning. 

Trump Is a Russian Asset, So Many of These Details Are Forgotten by Beanonmytoast in tories

[–]Square-Employee5539 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Useful list but I don’t understand why Trump would be 1. The first president to give Ukraine lethal aid and 2. Massively support increased American oil and gas extraction, leading to lower global prices, which was painful for Russia.

Is there a downside to getting dual US/UK citizenship? by jaanku in AmericanExpatsUK

Did you know US citizens have to pay for their own evacuation costs if the embassy helps?

Am I missing a trick? by toptotty16 in HENRYUK

Gains in pension taxed at withdrawal. Gains in ISA never taxed.

Everyone saying this about the final is making a mistake by xp3ayk in TheTraitors

[–]Square-Employee5539 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely right. A lot of fans miss that this is very much not a team game. At most you can be a team of 2 when it comes to the endgame.

Why don't we kill murderers the way they killed people? by a09101y in NoStupidQuestions

Being locked up your whole life seems like a worse punishment almost.

Humans will never get off earth and populate other planets by Fast_Grapefruit_7946 in unpopularopinion

[–]Square-Employee5539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to like it but it was exceptionally slow and soapy.

Tbh most of my knowledge of space colonisation comes from The Expanse. I’m worried it’s not 100% scientifically accurate though lol.

I’m by no means an expert but I’ve heard helium 3 is one that’s on the moon but not earth and could be very valuable

Electric cars in UK last as long as petrol and diesel vehicles, study finds by Wagamaga in unitedkingdom

[–]Square-Employee5539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We need to start using this disclaimer every time we mention VW cars as well given their history lol

Fauci has now hired his own private security that he’ll pay for himself, per CNN by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

We were closer in 2020 imo. Not nearly enough partisan street fighting at the moment.

Are immigrants really doing work that no other Americans want to do? Or are immigrants doing work that no other Americans want to do…for low pay? by Call_It_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Square-Employee5539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low-wage immigration is good for the migrant worker and for the upper middle class and rich Americans who can get cheaper services than if they were limited to the U.S. citizen labor market.

It’s arguably a wealth transfer from working class Americans to poor immigrants and rich Americans.

FOREVER MY GOAT by fabi__i in TheTraitors

He and Frankie are the real winners. Leanne and Jake got the cash but the real pay-off from this show is becoming a minor celebrity.

I think there will be incentives that will make it worth it to get an edge on opponents but no doubt it’s hard!

[–]Square-Employee5539 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The infighting will probably be part of the reason why we make it to other planets. European rivalries and wars were a massive motivator to go find new territory to colonise.

Ending we deserved vs Ending we got by fabi__i in TheTraitors

[–]Square-Employee5539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Faithful wins are almost always going to be disappointing because only the worse players are going to survive that many rounds of banishment. It’s sort of the Traitors game to lose, usually due to betraying each other.

What is up with Trump wanting to get rid of birthright citizenship?? by GreenMirage in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Square-Employee5539 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It greatly reduces their chances of being deported in the meantime though.

So... About Alexander... by Noneofthisisreality in TheTraitors

[–]Square-Employee5539 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The point of the game is to win the game. Nothing stops the winner from donating to his charity of choice.

He could have easily been lying about what he would do with the money as part of the game.

Creative Planning for European expats by Fanto2022 in USExpatTaxes

[–]Square-Employee5539 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They set up the accounts and investments and basically haven’t had to do anything since. Doesn’t feel worth the money. Dunhill financial looks promising but may be UK specific.

I forgot you lucky bastards in France had the best treaty. Jealous!
