I don't live there yet but the states are better

Not really. Deportation is saying "we were letting you in here under x conditions and those have changed and you're no longer welcome." Exile is a traditional punishment of "you were one of us but we no longer can tolerate your presence, get out or else." And yeah I'm pretty sure the united states doesn't have the legal capacity to sentence someone to exile, and we definitely don't have the legal capacity to deport natural born citizens (though we do sometimes do it, it's just illegal when we do).
Also is Ramaswamy even a citizen of India? And if so, are the people calling for him to be deported there aware of that?
That's an insane amount
I believe when it's a citizen it's called exile, not deportation, and I'm pretty sure it's against international law.
Calc was extremely useful to me as an industrial engineer and thank fuck I only have to understand it instead of actually doing it in my profession
Honestly some capchas make me wish it was just a derivative.
Maybe the bee because one of the dogs is wearing a yellow jacket??
The internet can form community but it's not the same. I'm about to move across the country and crash with a friend I met through the internet; and I've only seen her irl twice. That whole friend group are some of my best friends. And they aren't even the only close friendships I have through the internet.
But also, I've done the only socialize online thing and it broke my mind in college and again in the pandemic (which is when I met both friend groups I mentioned earlier). I need physical places where I can interact positively with other physical humans. I need physical places that I can coexist with other people and that's what an actual third space is. And I've seen what only existing on the internet does to people and it's not good
What the actual fuck lol‽
Honestly a community hall that fills similar roles to the library as others mention would be awesome. You could get people running community brunches on weekends, you could get holiday parties and rooms for groups to meet. You could use it to host food not bombs or other food giveaways. You could let it be what churches are supposed to be, but replace the pastor and pews with a meal space and some administrators
We need more than that. We need places where people go regularly and choose to interact with each other. Church sucks, but seeing your neighbors, engaging in community activities like celebrating births and marriages and holidays and just regularly seeing each other and being reminded of your connections to each other are important. People talk about modern isolation and by giving up community activities and spaces that's what we get.
Yeah but the cost to not looking like you're aging is going from descending a hill to falling off a cliff and landing much lower
