The fact people aren't working them means there's a problem with the compensation for the work.

Or is it a problem with a rapidly-retiring baby boomer worker population and a steadily-increasing millennial workforce that thinks flipping burgers should be a viable career option?

You can be an unskilled worker and still be able to produce. With the country experiencing a labor shortage, unskilled workers are becoming more in demand.

We have enough people already to do unskilled work. Bringing in more people is what increases the need for unskilled workers to make more stuff.

Bringing in people with lower work/pay standards (due to their home country having lower costs where they send money) holds back minimum standards for workers. Natives don't work unskilled jobs because the pay and conditions are poor, it's unethical to circumvent those concerns.

So instead of bringing in unskilled labor that want to work, you overburden the people already working because native unskilled workers thumbed their nose up at it?

Are people only useful if they have a skill or a ton of cash?

Yes; that's the only objective measure worth noting, can you produce or can you bring resources

The immigration process itself needs a massive overhaul.

A million people legally immigrate to the USA every year. Who is our immigration system hindering exactly?

The hopeful immigrants that don't have thousands of dollars in the bank or a relative in the country that can help sponsor them. The immigrants that have sent in all of their paperwork and fees and have waited years without a peep from the government. The people that have legally immigrated and have been waiting for months for their green card so they can work and contribute to society.

Unless you have a sponsor already in the country or you have a needed skillset for an employer, the legal routes are sparse.

The options are sparse for people the country doesn't want? Who woulda thunk it.

Are people only useful if they have a skill or a ton of cash? Doesn't bode well for a ton of people on this site.

I'm gonna be honest guys.

I was never intending on going to AU, I was kinda just waiting to see if I can get a refund, which they said they'll try to get me one but it's no guarantee.

While I was visiting D.C. one time, I meet this girl on tinder who told me her friend went there and couldn't stand the "rich kid" culture. It was way back then I realized I was never actually meant to go here.

but hey this was a pretty funny thread thanksfor the laaaaaaaughs people

There are existing legal routes to immigrate to the US.

Unless you have a sponsor already in the country or you have a needed skillset for an employer, the legal routes are sparse. You mostly have to rely on the green card lottery or trying to get refugee status. Any legal channel is long, drawn out and very expensive.

I think the answer is simple.

Guns don't kill people, bullets do.

Regulate the amount of bullets, and you can't have mass killings.

Also, absolutely no way for semi-automatic etc weapons at all. Pistols or rifles only, but no fast loading ones allowed. All should be recalled and owning them should be a serious offense.

Even for pistols/rifles you need to actually take a class, get trained, and be registered to own one. Like a car, but.....actually more deadly.

We don't live in an age where everyone needs a gun, we don't get randomly attacked by beasts, and we are not going to be invaded by another country (or if we do, and it gets down to people with their own guns defending the nation, we are already screwed).

So get rid of most guns, limit the ammo for those left, and ensure nothing that can quickly kill 20+ people is available anymore.

"Simple"

Theres more guns than people in the US

Its no wonder any psycho that wants to go on a shooting spree can get their hands on one

unfettered and unregulated manufacturing of weapons needs to stop

Explain to me then, why Switzerland, which makes firearm ownership mandatory for every household, isn't in a perpetual state of civil war?

Hell, explain to me why Kennesaw, Georgia, which has the same firearm law as Switzerland, didn't have a murder since 1989?

In all fairness, I believe Switzerland mandates firearm ownership for every household after they have completed a period of military training.

i only watched the last video but i'm curious to know how you got that she "endorsed" your plan. all she really said is she can't say for sure what scholarships you could get -- and obviously she can't say that at this point it's probably too late to even consider. and also that you could be assessed a late fee and sent to collections which would give you a lot more problems to worry about.

she didn't tell me not to do it

Because it's literally your only option at this point.

Why did you ask the financial aid office about the consequences of not paying your tuition back on time if it's "never gonna happen?"

What part of *just in case* don't you understand?

For the past 40 pages, you've insisted that your plan is going to work. Now you're working on contingencies. Is it possible that an entire website of people telling you the flaws of your plan may have finally started to sink in?

Side note: Kudos on the suspension. I look froward to the antics of your new alt.

"Old soldiers never die, they just fade away" R.I.P PFC Dusty Seidel

The only way you'll ever really impact the frequency of these mass shootings is with an all-out ban, confiscation and/or ridiculously heavy regulations and that simply won't happen. Nobody except the most extreme of politicians would go for it and I think there would be mass non-compliance with many gun owners.

Here is the second video. I had to cut it in half because they asked for some sensative information and I didn't feel like editing. I asked them out paying deadlines where they said that I WOULD NOT be kicked out if I didn't pay by August 1st (yesterday)

You won't be kicked out. You'll just keep accruing interest on your outstanding balance and prevented from enrolling in any future semesters. It'll then be turned over to collections if you still don't pay it.

-Komaiko54- posted...

Here is the third video. It's just be dicking around with the financial aid office about my plan. I'll save you ten minutes and say she endorsed my plan and encourage me to search for more scholarships. I skipped to when they pick up but you can see the beginning I show the number on screen.

She encouraged to look for more scholarships because that's your only choice at this point. You also conveniently left out the part of the plan where you "go off the grid" and stiff the college on their tuition.

You have a very odd definition of being "right."

That's my back up plan

Yes, your back up plan is to never pay them back. So...that's when you said that you're never going to pay them back. You have a ridiculous longshot scenario where you magically get $32k in scholarships with no intention of paying the tuition back if your plan doesn't work out. I feel like you actually know what everybody is trying to say but you're being intentionally dense.

And you're being intentionally misleading. I'm never gonna get to that point LOL

Not misleading at all. I'm using your words, not mine. If your brilliant scholarship idea doesn't work out, you're going to stiff the school on tuition. Your words.

What makes you say that?

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662

Let's see...

Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance

Check.

Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration

Sounds about right.

Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it

A check large enough to make Nike jealous.

Exaggerate achievements and talents

Check.

Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate

Oh yeah.

Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people

"Community college is stupid."

Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior

I'm not sure you haven't ever had a topic that hasn't consisted of you ignoring or dismissing basically everyone else.

Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations

"They should give me this giant loan despite having no cosigner or credit history and not having anywhere close to enough income to pay it back in a timely fashion."

Take advantage of others to get what they want

There's been ample evidence to suggest you would be doing this if you were smart enough.

Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others

"My parents are so terrible for not cosigning on a $60,000 loan I have no demonstrated ability to repay!"

Be envious of others and believe others envy them

Sounds right.

Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious

Eeyup.

Insist on having the best of everything for instance, the best car or office

Again, "community college is stupid and I have to go to this one university that some random forum said was the best."

Sure, diagnosing personality disorders is a whole lot more nuanced than finding behaviours that match the symptom list, particularly where those symptoms are often pretty vague, but you certainly tick off a significant number of those boxes. I've also seen "lashes out when their ideas are challenged or questioned" listed as a symptom in some other places, which is probably the most apt description of your topics ever.
