Honestly I get your frustration. Feeling like you're being hidden away...
But I think you're taking what you've got for granted. It sounds like your family is fairly liberal and well-meaning, but that doesn't mean her's is.
Even in the west, religious conservatism can get nasty real quick (especially for woman), so I can absolutely see why she might be scared to tell her family.
She probably doesn't like hiding you in the shadows any more than you do - you should be careful putting your feelings over her well-being.
I don't like the idea of a potentially world ending nuclear stand-off, but we've learned well enough from these past couple of years that having nukes is the only way to guarantee your country's sovereignty against other nuclear powers.
I'd feel sorry for Elon IF his losses weren't entirely perpetuated by his own immoral actions.
You want to be a fascist doing Nazi salutes and repeating Nazi rhetoric? - then don't be surprised when people don't want to associate you or your products.
Not that it matter, because he'll survive off the back of SpaceX - which of course is not on DOGE's radar.
I can only speak for the UK, but the multinational fast-foods are almost never the cheaper option compared to just getting something from a local takeaway.
Though I know from my student days that there are plenty of students who will happily go around claiming they're broke while only eating expensive food, as though one didn't cause the other.
Tell you what, being locked down and barely able to socialise outside of immediate family for months on end does a lot to mess with your perception of time
In theory Nitrogen suffocation should be incredibly humane. Nitrogen gas is incredibly dangerous in the workplace exactly because the human body is incapable of noticing it displacing air. It can kill you without you even noticing until you keel over dead.
Problem is when you shove a mask on someone's face and pump nitrogen into it, that's not what you're doing...
That doesn't displace the air the executed was breathing, because the air has nowhere to go, so it just mixes with the Nitrogen gas.
The O2 gets used up and CO2 builds up until they die, which is basically normal suffocation (which is incredibly inhumane) with a side of Nitrogen gas.
To do it properly, you'd need to a much bigger chamber so that the air in the executed's lungs would be easily displaced, or a way to filter the CO2 out of the air they're breathing... But who's got time for that, when you can just torture prisoners with something that should be humane and pretend you have no idea why it "doesn't work properly" /s
LLMs are made to mimic how we speak, and some can even pass the Turing test, so I'm not surprised that people who don't know better think of these LLMs as conscious in some way or another.
It's not a necessarily a fault on those people, it's a fault on how LLMs are purposefully misadvertised to the masses
Customs and Border Protection said in an emailed statement, “Arriving aliens bear the burden of establishing admissibility to the United States.”
One, that language is a solid ick.
Two, while it may be true that she has to prove admissability...
A notice of court order violation filed Saturday said CBP “had actual notice of this Court’s order and willfully disobeyed this Court’s order.” It further requested an order to return Alawieh to Massachusetts immediately and to schedule an emergency hearing as soon as practicable.
... What the fuck is she meant to do when they refuse to accept her documents (a valid passport and H-1B visa), and then deport her in spite of an explicit court order??
According to multiple sources, Reeves earns ~£150K a year. After taxes that'll work out to ~£80-90K a year, which should work out at about £6500-7500 a month.
Openly accepting bribes is terrible enough, but when you're in the top 10% of wages in the country, it's so much worse.
