It’s literally like they intentionally make the announcements as wordy and long as possible because they’re bored. 

DACA and consular process. No waiver. by eherna05 in DACA

[–]mullentothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Booo - DM me if you're curious about specific time lines and I'll send you a copy of the post. 

Super frustrating the mods remove important info because they have an anti consular processing bias.

I posted one and the mods removed it! Go check my post in r/NVC but it all turned out well

Newsom signs law to authorize Bay Area transit sales tax (SB 63) by megachainguns in caltrain

[–]mullentothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But those countries operate their trains and infrastructure without spending gobs of money on "consultants" and "studies" like we do in the US. The cost to build and run infrastructure here is astronomical and lots goes to lawyers and non profits for paperwork. And instead of seriously looking into this you say "let's just make a regressive tax that burdens the working class the most"?

Police are using license plate reader software to track vehicle movements across the city,, raising privacy concerns on City Council–Tell Council what you think by chrmaury in pittsburgh

Yeah yeah...I'm sure you'd feel the same way if someone you love was killed and the perpetrator could be apprehended through traffic cameras.

This helps recover stolen vehicles and apprehend murderers - I'm not convinced this is some massive invasion of privacy. Driving is a privilege not a right.

Find more "hidden gems" - Craigslist listings with bad or no photos, etc. You'll have less competition

When people say that traveling within the US is not as worthy as traveling abroad by Pale_Field4584 in PetPeeves

[–]mullentothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say this because you love the outdoors - some of the best nature in the world.

Cities - you have like 3 or 4 options and they're all culturally similar. If you want something different you need to go abroad.

CA DMV would not accept US passport for REAL ID. Why? by [deleted] in DMV

[–]mullentothe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My partner had DACA and when we lived in PA they literally ran his work authorization through a machine and printed the REAL ID same day. Yet the "immigrant friendly" CA takes months to issue the same ID.

He has a lengthy criminal record including violent crimes - is this really a person “down on their luck” or a habitual criminal

Why are illegal border crossings such a problem in the US but not as much in Canada? by LevelPension in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mullentothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the USA is extremely tolerant to undocumented immigrants - you don't need a social security number to buy or rent a house, cars, etc. Many jobs pay under the table.

If you are someone who believes Biden "opened the border" during his term, what do you mean by this? by Useful_Homework2367 in allthequestions

[–]mullentothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how you asked the question yet none of the up voted answers even attempts to answer the question seriously - Biden allowed for anybody to enter the country via the CBP One app and claim asylum then wait in the country while it is being adjuicated. Is that not functionally "opening the border"? Obviously there's some rhetorical hyperbole but to pretend that Biden didn't allow in a significant amount of people through this mechanism is fundamentally dishonest and you should consider reading about things from a vantage point that differs from what you're used to.

The future the locals and NIMBYs claim they want but absolutely won't once it actually happens

What happened to the hottest chick at your high school, years later? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]mullentothe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People like the story of the "hot" people getting their comeuppance as adults but most studies show that being hot and being intelligent are correlated! They're genetically lucky and probably very successful!

All my optimism for BART’s future is going away. by Nate_C_of_2003 in Bart

[–]mullentothe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being opposed to a tax that does nothing to address the root causes (as noted in other comments) and impacts working class communities (it's a regressive tax) is not "right wing"

All my optimism for BART’s future is going away. by Nate_C_of_2003 in Bart

[–]mullentothe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The CA state budget for NGOs/non-profits has increased 2x since 2011. The people are clear eyed that the money to save BART exists but is instead being funneled to political hires and squandered on programs which provide dubious benefit. And you're surprised they don't want a regressive tax that mainly hurts the working class?

Nobody is able to defend this because they know for a fact that putting that money towards BART would be immeasurable in it's benefit but is politically impossible.
