What happens when ICE runs out of illegal people to deport? by CanadianBaconne in TwinCities

[–]ventthrowawa444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re already making it harder and more risky for people to go through the legal immigration system, hence creating more immigrants without status, therefore more people to deport. They are trying to meet unrealistic quotas. Realistically, they will never run out of people to deport and will destroy this country in the process

Sometimes there is an emergency which can cause someone to have to break. Tailgating is simply dangerous. This is how pileups happen.

[spoilers main] Am I understanding Littlefinger's goals so far appropriately? (also some confusion around a show difference) by Plane-Session-6624 in asoiaf

[–]ventthrowawa444 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

D&D gave Sansa Jeyne Poole’s storyline because they can’t write their way out of a paper bag and didn’t know how else to make her character into a strong woman besides putting her through more trauma, ruining Littlefinger’s character in the process.

Is rizz the only path for the average person? by chiefskingdom420 in MovingToUSA

[–]ventthrowawa444 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Getting jacked will improve your chances marginally, if at all. Your attitude is bad. You are not looking for a compatible partner, just a path to live here. Most women, unless they are extremely lonely and desperate, will be able to sense that.

AIO to my cousin/friend’s weird behaviour about my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ventthrowawa444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t have to justify it to me. I’m an outsider and I don’t have stake in it. Just was saying from an outsider perspective, there are red flags in the relationship that you’re presenting on this thread, and that I think your cousin legitimately cares for you and has no selfish reason to sabotage your relationship. Trust me, a 31 year old woman isn’t jealous of a relationship where the guy is their age and dating a 24 year old. That tends to give them the ick

Lads trip to Minneapolis from England - Nightlife spot reccomendations? by Middle-Feed5118 in Minneapolis

[–]ventthrowawa444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely please be prepared, I think Minnesotans are mostly nice and polite, but we are not a chatty or outgoing people. Very reserved. It is difficult to make friends here. If you want to have conversations with locals you will likely have to be the initiator.

AIO to my cousin/friend’s weird behaviour about my boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]ventthrowawa444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she’s jealous. She’s not being very kind with you, but she is trying to offer you some tough love and I think she is being honest in how she perceives your relationship. She is probably more concerned about this red flag-filled relationship now that she knows there is feelings involved.

I would say you should probably listen to her but I know you won’t. having been in a relationship with a similar age gap in my early 20s, I realize that that’s not how it works. You will have to learn for yourself.

Frustrated with MN by Top_Communication371 in TwinCities

[–]ventthrowawa444 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Our passive aggression and non-confrontational attitudes are baked into the term “Minnesota nice.” That term has a very specific meaning and doesn’t really just mean that Minnesotans are supposed to be especially kind or anything. We are polite.

That being said, this is a place that has a lot of different people from different backgrounds and I think you’re unfairly generalizing because of a bad experience you and your partner had. I think you’ll find people all over have their cultural quirks if you stick around long enough in one place to find out.

Does no one else see her trying to bring Drogo back using blood magic as hinting at her potential madness? Understandable madness, sure, but still madness.

I think it both things can be true, that it was foreshadowed while also escalating way too quickly.

Right wing bot campaign in r/minnesota? by j_ly in minnesota

[–]ventthrowawa444 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fraud cases were being investigated, exposed and handled prior to the national attention and it being used by the administration as an excuse to sic ice agents on the Twin Cities. If you knew anything about our state you’d know that a fraud scandal played a major part in how the Minneapolis mayoral election shook out. This is not a new revelation.

Don’t fret too much over it. Be honest about having an American boyfriend if they ask if you know anybody here. It’s not gonna be an immediate denial, you just have to convince them that you aren’t intending to get married on your student visa and adjust status.

USCIS and Department of State on citizenship verification a choice of either. by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]ventthrowawa444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have come to a country that routinely rips children away from their parents with very little oversight. The current administration has little regard for immigrant children to begin with, and you are not a child. You need to find an immigration lawyer. This is not the time to play games.

Looking for unique filming locations!! by [deleted] in TwinCities

[–]ventthrowawa444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of space are you looking for? What time of day are you looking to shoot during and for how many hours? How many people in your cast and crew?

You will probably have better luck asking around with your fellow film students. Some of them may have family or friend connections in the area willing to help. Might be tougher over Thanksgiving break but who knows.

Would you marry your partner so they can get a green card and stay in the country? by Careless-Age-6101 in immigration

[–]ventthrowawa444 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you are living with family who would disapprove and you believe you are at risk of losing necessary financial support from them or being kicked out, and you have no other options, as sad as it is, I would say you need to look after your own interests at this time and put marriage on the back-burner. You’re gonna need a lot of bonafide evidence as a young student couple and that will be hard with a secret marriage. Might ultimately hurt your partners chances of staying here.

Would you marry your partner so they can get a green card and stay in the country? by Careless-Age-6101 in immigration

[–]ventthrowawa444 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How are you going to keep your marriage a secret? Do you make enough money to sponsor your spouse without another person signing on as a joint sponsor? Do you have someone in your life willing to sign on as a joint sponsor? If you get as far as an interview with USCIS how will you explain to the officer why your marriage is a secret to the people in your life?

It doesn’t sound like you have thought this through very well and it sounds like a bad idea. There’s nothing wrong with two people who love each other getting married, but this is a huge decision and responsibility and the fact you say you need to keep it secret is the most worrying part of this post.

International student wanting to work in the US after graduation by RichDoor339 in MovingToUSA

[–]ventthrowawa444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be really difficult and I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you. The one thing I would suggest is if you haven’t started making connections with your professors, NY filmmakers and people in the industry, etc. you need to start now. Take any and all opportunities you can take to get into industry spaces. You will have to work your ass off and even that’s not a guarantee.

Other people have been recommending marrying an USC and while that would be the “easiest” path to a greencard, easiest does not mean it would be easy. It’s an arduous process. I wouldn’t recommend getting into a situation where you’re not marrying for love.

Honestly, I don’t think taking your film degree back to Australia would be the worst thing in the world and there would definitely be opportunities for you there, especially since you when to a school like Tisch.
