Every person on this content, except for Native Americans, is an immigrant.

This country was founded by immigrants, for immigrants.

Asking "should they be allowed in?" is a rhetorical question.

You probably shouldn't use native Americans as justification for why illegal immigration is fine. Under that model, we're the Natives and the current immigrants are the colonists, and we both know how badly they got fucked by immigrants.

and you realize that thats only i the short term? in 2-3 years time my score will be in the 800s because i have a high number of accounts (which lenders like to see) and a lower utilization (basic math)?

between this and you knowledge of north korea, i'd have to say you're what, 13, 14? i work with middle schoolers so i can kinda tell.

1. Souls has proper PVP. It's not the core purpose of the game, but it checks this box even if most people use it for trolling single player content.

2. Souls doesn't really require this level of multi-tasking outside of stat management, but with some items/covenants to let you reallocate, this is null. No check here.

3. Losing your souls isn't a trivial punishment, especially if you overreach or stumble on a boss with multiple levels worth of souls. The fact that some bosses are optional is irrelevant, because you can't complete the game unless you beat certain ones (like Ornstein and Smough). It doesn't have permadeath, but neither do Tohou games, so permadeath alone isn't sufficient to say Souls isn't difficult.

4. I'd argue Souls requires fairly good input, but certainly nothing like a twitch shooter or a bullet hell. However, in the grand scale of input requirements, I'd put it at least in the upper third, which I'd argue is enough to fall into the "hard" range.

5. You can end up at a bonfire deep in an area too hard for you to beat with no homeward bones, effectively creating a failure state. For example: speed running catacombs in DS1 to the first bonfire at level 1 without any homeward bones. You're effectively trapped if you're not good enough (read: perfect) to fight your way out since a single hit will kill you.


So while I agree Souls isn't as technically hard as a bullet hell, and not as mentally hard as a puzzle game or Civilization, it has a decent combination of multiple things that fit your criteria. You'd have an argument if you said that Souls isn't as hard as people claim, or that it isn't hard relative to the hardest games ever made, but I don't think you've made a compelling enough case for the game not being hard at all. Calling it "not hard" because it isn't in the top 1% of difficulty doesn't seem like a reasonable claim.

I got a kick rocks email today for a promotion I applied for a couple weeks ago. Got a phone interview with HR, but that was it.

No matter how much I explain that my lack of experience with a particular system isn't an issue, they never listen. I know for a fact I can do the job better than anyone with experience, and that I can learn the system and everything I need to know about it in less than a week. But they don't care. They only care about what they see on paper.

Not sure what kind of system it is but when it comes to IT matters, I always say I have hands on experience even if it's just in a home lab for training purposes.

I just don't want to be caught in a web of lies. If I say I have experience, they'll ask about it, and they'll ask specific questions about what particular screens do.

If you can learn everything you need to know about it in less than a week, why didn't you do so prior to the interview?

Why deport someone who didn't do anything wrong, then?

Some administrative actions that just prioritize certain goals to the exclusion of others (the decision to target criminals for deportations under Obama, rather than raiding churches and schools, for instance) are in compliance with the law of the land. Presidents can do that kind of thing to pass de facto policies imo

But DACA is more than that. It sets up an entirely new program without Congressional approval. I think sonicfan is essentially correct about the precedent it sets. I am against the imperial presidency even when it supports goals that are in line with mine, which DACA is

The president doesn't make laws, but chooses when and where to enforce them. This is one of the reasons he grants pardons.

The previous president chose not to enforce ICE regulations on a specific group of people. That's completely within his prerogative to do. It's likewise also Donald Trump's prerogative to reverse that decision. It's just that his decision is extremely unethical even if it is within the scope of his power.

DACA is far more than "choosing not to enforce ICE regulations". Either you're being intentionally obtuse or you have a fundamental misunderstanding in what DACA does and how it works.

well, that bell rang a long time ago, but the Trump presidency does hopefully force liberals to acknowledge the downsides to governing by presidential fiat at least

Which is what's so perverse about the DACA ruling. Trump openly admitting that it's not in his power to do what DACA does actually restores some semblance of that divide.

20 years ago: Realistically, NK can't do anything to us

5 years ago: Realistically, NK's missiles can't reach our coast
1 year ago: Realistically, NK will never have a hydrogen bomb

Today: NK has ICBMs, hydrogen bombs, and is working to miniaturize them

At what point do we actually consider them a threat?

For deterrence. They aren't dumb enough to actually launch a nuke at us or our allies unless we provoke them first.

So we think that a country that has been making demands of the rest of the world for the last 20 years will suddenly stop once they have intercontinental hydrogen bombs? Why don't we just give them Poland. Isn't that what we do to every dictator we want to chill out?

Even that isn't good. Keeping the situation "as is" is how we've been handling things the last 20 years, and now they have ICBMs, hydrogen bombs, and warheads small enough to fit them on said ICBMs. The more "keep it as it is" we do, the closer they get to a nuke that they can launch at anyone in the world.

Sure, but then under that justification it's 100% fine that Trump is letting it expire. It already was extended once, and if it was always meant to be temporary wouldn't it be better for him to let it expire than continue to (what someone people feel) abuse executive actions?

I don't disagree, it is very unrealistic to expect Jeff Sessions to defend DACA in court. I was just pointing out that the protection itself really isn't contingent on continuing to do anything except not commit crimes (I consider that a lower bar than keeping a job)

That's a fair point/correction.

Ask congress. It's up to them to work something out. They don't seem to have much of a sense of urgency. I don't think a man who came here when he was 3 and has started a family of his own while contributing to society and doing nothing wrong should be punished for that. So the only other option is "just send them back and we'll deal with it later!"....yea sure..."later"...

Edit: I can support Trumps right to use executive actions without supporting what he uses them on. What kind of question is that? So if I supported something Obama did with Executive action I have to support everything Trump does? It doesn't work that way.

I'm pointing out that people who assaulted Trump's use of executive actions as bypassing congress are being hypocritical for supporting DACA. You may not be one of those people, and that's fine. You may very well have more integrity than that.

As to your first point, it's still congress' job. DACA needs to expire because it's been 6 years and its not, nor should it be, Trump's job to make laws. If people are pissed at DACA going away, they should take their fury to congress, not to the president.

Why can't we do both? Why can't we use common sense and allow those people to remain here instead of forcing them back to a life they never knew? While congress tries to tries to work things out why can't we work with these people to help them? Many of them came over as kids under no control of their own, contribute to society and have families of their own. Are we gonna send their entire family back?

For how long should we arbitrarily ignore our own constitution and let the executive branch make new laws instead of congress? It's been almost 6 years.

EDIT: And if you support this, are you willing to also support whatever other executive actions Trump puts into play using the same mechanics as Obama? Because we don't as a country get to allow one president to bypass checks and balances and not another simply based on whether we like the actions they're taking. That's not how government works.

I'd also like to point out that the deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) action only DELAYS deportation as long as they have work. It does not grant them citizenship. It was NEVER going to keep them in the country by itself.

I don't think that's true.

That's correct. I double checked and here are the criteria:
--had not yet turned age 16 when you came to the U.S. to live
--have continuously lived (“resided”) in the U.S. since June 15, 2010 up to when you apply (excluding any brief, casual, and innocent departures)
--were physically present in the U.S. on June 15, 2012, and also at the time you apply for deferred action
either entered the U.S. without inspection before June 15, 2012, or if you entered with inspection, your lawful immigration status (such as a visa or Temporary Protected Status (TPS)) had expired as of June 15, 2012
--are either in school now (unless absent for emergency reasons), have graduated or earned a certificate of completion from an accredited high school, have obtained a general education development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States, and
--have not been convicted of a felony, significant misdemeanor, or three or more other misdemeanors; and do not otherwise present a threat to U.S. national security or public safety (such as by being a member of a gang).

TC, do you support Trump using executive action to bypass congress whenever he doesn't get what he wants? Because the 6 month delay is meant to give congress a chance to pass a real, permanent law instead of continuing what Obama did in effectively making his own laws through EE.
