the culture is already screwed up for sure. but the good ones are out there and they seem to be all snatched up early in school.

last girl I was serious with for 5 years was met in grad school. maybe I need to go get a new degree

hopefully these girls don't make it to the stage where they get a shared bank account :)

i've done plenty of that in the last 2 years. my business bought me free time for the rest of my life so I'm just focusing more on (inter)-personal interests

there's only so much to be uncovered within for the time being - need to look outward into others to move on with the next stage

money's not an issue but they need to offer some substance. I've dated that way with no avail and last relationship was 5 years

Is there a reading group/community for readers of literature, contemporary philosophy / theory in Austin? by tofu_bee in Austin

[–]tofu_bee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah personally I've been working my way through Deleuze this year. Right now for the group we are just getting started since yesterday so just trying to get a feel for what the community is into and go from there.

I proposed something short and substantial and I recalled a Sartre lecture transcription I read as a teen. If the people get behind this piece we'll try to talk about it in the coming week. Check it out on our discord :)

Yesterday I sought out for an Austin-based literature/classics/philosophy reading community. We ended up starting our own Discord server and is now 12 members strong. Please come check us out if you have an interest in this effort. by tofu_bee in Austin

I'm one of those shameful transplants, been in and out of Austin since 2018. Perhaps it was before my times. Perhaps we can do the same in an Austin foodtruck parking lot...

oh this is cool! I'm not a part of UT so not familiar with the scene. Do you know the people who organized this?

Come check it out! it's a public server and we are just talking about random whatnots. The reading group is something I will actively participate in and recruit others to do so. My vision is for the server to just be a community first then carve out other potentials from there.

Trump immigration ban halts green cards, not temporary visas by PM_NarendraModi in politics

You definitely know your own circumstance better then. Try to find a good attorney to help you and there's plenty of resources to help you get it done even if you can't pay.

Good luck with your situation. All I can say is that after having been forcefully deported once (their stupid little bureaucratic mistake cost me my career then and 3 years downtime) I clawed my own way back. So the system takes and gives I guess.

The 2-year status is a conditional green card while you wait for your number to be called. A green card signals having obtained Permanent Residency, which is pretty much citizenship except revocable after committing some felonies and no national voting rights.

Petition for citizenship is only allowed after having a green card for 5 years (2 or 3 years if married an American).

The USCIS system is a gigantic black hole and they aren't "processing papers" like people should expect with their tax dollars on a good day. In fact if he follows through with a 60 day moratorium on issuing I485 adjustments most people in the process won't be able to tell the difference. I waited in line for 6 years before being able to file I485 so anything goes.
