    "Anybody" being quite different than "actual refugees by the UN definition of such"

    Gas Bandit's Political Thread V: The Vampire Likes Bats

    The whole reason any of those problems exist is too many people trying to enter without following the "normal" immigration process, be it by rushing the border, or hundreds of thousands claiming to be refugees (despite not meeting the UN definition of such). If the flow dropped to zero...

    Just remember, in Nazi Germany, they were keeping people from leaving and putting them into Death camps. What you guys have is too many people trying to enter your country, and you putting them into overcrowded jails because there's not enough funding to actually build what capacity you need...

    [MMO] Final Fantasy XIV (we get to be cats!)

    Very cool Terrik. A few things are out-of-order (you have a shot of Doma near the Moongates fairly early for example) but generally it's a great job of organizing stuff relatively in-order. Brought back a lot of memories for me as well.

    That's Lacrosse, where that's allowed in the rules.

    OK, so you're in favor of more funding for your border guards to build more facilities then? Methinks if you google about funding, you'll see some other opinions... But given the "defund them" rhetoric, they're not getting more money, even for more humane conditions, you say they can't be...

    Rant VIII: The Reckoning

    I have sympathy for your plight, but by my definition you were not "re-imaging" the computers. That's done with something like Acronis True Image (back in the day), or Norton Ghost (also back in the day) or something else on this page...

    You don't HAVE a Safe 3rd Country agreement with Mexico. I'm saying that's a reason that at a border wouldn't be happening, but that's not the case for Mexico. So I'm asking you where you read that "We're supposed to be taking them in at the port of entries for processing and decided we aren't...

    Quite the claim. If you show up at a legal border crossing and say you're a refugee, it's denied automatically? Please link. If it's "safe 3rd country" that's yet another discussion, and relates to what @Bubble181 said above. That bold is mine. It's NOT a basis of being a refugee according...

    If you have a claim, you'd go to a real border crossing and make said claim. That they're crossing NOT THERE shows a lot.

    You need a history lesson: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment (This is where "Concentration Camp" redirects to, and it's apparent in the text why that is) Regardless of exact terms, the first sentence helps: You want to argue Gitmo is a concentration camp? That has basis. Places where...

    How stupid the plastic bag ban is: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-sorry-banning-plastic-bags-wont-save-our-planet/ Remember, the Danish Ministry of Environment did this study. The plastic ban is just more virtue-signalling from our PM that actually does more harm than good.

    As an outsider to the USA, statehood to D.C. IMO doesn't make much sense given how it was "supposed" to be. Makes a LOT more sense to just be part of one of the states that gave up land to it. Capitals the world over are very commonly just part of one of the states/provinces/regions, and not...

    I hate Windows 10

    I do NOT understand the hate for systemd. I've tried to look into why it's so hated, and my analysis basically came down to "I'm upset that my scripts that I've been tweaking for 10 (or 20, or 30) years I can't tweak anymore because it's not looking for that obscure .config file in that weird...

    Interesting, a hybrid of FF12 and FF13 systems it seems. Could work. I'm not against it. We'll see how it plays out against more complicated enemies. Staggering in 13 (and sequels, played through them) was very hit-n-miss for me. Sometimes the mechanic was great, sometimes it was a "just...
