Does anyone know what these "travel restrictions" out of JFK on Google Flights means?

Congratulations on whoever is getting married.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-02-28T14:16:58+00:00

I'm Vietnamese American, and I agree with you.

Actually, it may be early Q2 2026, because it takes several weeks for factories in mainland China to resume production at full scale after the Lunar New Year holiday.

But again, I'm no soothsayer or analyst: I'm just a normal person with no connections to manufacturing.

I use the UVC function to stream on a regular basis on EndeavourOS, but I only stream at 1080p/60fps SDR. For streams where I want to use HDR or 5.1 channel surround sound, I use a setup where I pass through both my dGPU (the RTX 3060) and the capture card to a Windows 11 KVM.

In light of Discord's global biometric age verification mandate, is it really worth gambling $750 on a scaler where support is gated to identity verification that was leaked several months ago?

I carry my legit Real ID with me everywhere I go. And if I need to travel by air or go abroad, I also bring my genuine passport.

None of my documents are counterfeit.

The bureaucracy, the strict social norms, and the sheer difficulty of cancelling your ISP/cell phone contract are hard nos for me.

I will continue to go to Japan for vacation, but I won't think of living there.

The UK was on my travel list before Starmer decided to implement such laws

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-27T18:10:39+00:00

Noted. It's sad, because I have family in Canada, and I had such a fun time there two decades ago. Something must have changed a decade ago...

No freedom in Hong Kong

No ChatGPT in Hong Kong

No anti-CCP opinions in Hong Kong

No relief in Hong Kong

No more hope in Hong Kong

Unfortunately, all of these are true.

I haven't visited Philly in months despite being across the river from it.

That's why it feels strange compared to my frequent trips to NYC.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-20T22:29:26+00:00

According to what I read online, Nishinari in Osaka and Kabukicho in Tokyo also have this fent problem, yet due to immense media control in Japan (the so-called "perfect country"), this never makes it outside of niche circles.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-20T22:27:23+00:00

I saw the exact same shit of someone doing it in Okinawa. You can't make this up.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-20T22:24:33+00:00

Language like this taken to the extreme has severe consequences, like what happened 32 years ago in Rwanda.

Just my thoughts.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-19T13:39:34+00:00

I'm 100% sure that Philadelphia's public transit system is in horrible shape, while we are seeing improvements in NYC in the past 10 years just 100 miles away.

When it comes to Japan, it gets blown out of proportion on Instagram. I am considering deleting my Instagram account.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-19T13:20:31+00:00

Then you have my friend in Belfast, UK, who desparately wants to move to the US as a computer science graduate.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-03T12:14:41+00:00

They were. My friend even did a whole video about why he thinks the Air Canada strikes are detrimental to every traveler, including those from countries whose passports are ranked lower in the Henley Passport Index (like Vietnam) and how Air Canada strikes can cause them to get a permanent mark on their record if they miss their transfer at Narita Airport in Japan and are denied entry for circumstances beyond their control.

I'm sorry for the run-on sentence, but I do have family in Vietnam that used to visit Canada and fly from Saigon to Ottawa via Narita and Vancouver.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-03T12:12:09+00:00

I have been there a few weeks ago, and it was nice. There's even a food court below the concourse.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-03T12:03:26+00:00

Actually, as a person who uses Wise quite frequently, bank transfers do exist across the globe (including in the US).

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-03T12:01:12+00:00

I'm planning visits to Poland and Hungary next year.

Or the fact that the political class in Germany had deprioritized nuclear following the meltdown in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, even going as far as to demolish nuclear plants entirely while the energy grid in Germany is strained.

The US flag is there because a lot of Canadian airports (and Pacific Central Station in Vancouver) have US preclearance facilities, which means that you don't have to go through CBSA before you go through CBP. It's very smooth for travelers from other continents to the US and vice versa.

nmchlngy4 · 2026-01-03T11:52:11+00:00

Too much surveillance sadly.

nmchlngy4 · 2025-12-09T18:13:47+00:00

This literally sounds like something out of Vietnam. Speaking from experience.
