I said nothing about potentially holding your device - reread the comment you replied to - but they cannot use that as the reason to deny citizens reentry. We can have a discussion about if the administration is following the rules of law, but by law, border agents cannot deny you for this reason.

So hostile, for no reason. Channel that anger into something constructive, yeah?

Also lol if you think anyone here thinks we are in anything close to a utopia, you should switch careers to comedy :p

Straight from the ACLU:

Do I have to provide my laptop passwords or unlock my mobile phone for law enforcement officers at the border?

Customs officers have sometimes asked travelers to provide their laptop passwords or unlock their mobile phones when they are entering or leaving the United States. Your legal status in the country may inform what you decide to do if you’re asked for a password to unlock your device. U.S. citizens cannot be denied entry to the United States for refusing to provide passwords or unlocking devices. Refusal to do so might lead to delay, additional questioning, and/or officers seizing your device for further inspection. The same should be true for those who have previously been admitted to the U.S. as lawful permanent residents and have maintained their status — their green cards can’t be revoked without a hearing before an immigration judge. […]

The reason why you have ‘heard this idea’ is because it’s true :P

*regarding paragraph 1+4: this is true for travelers visiting the US (which is what the article is aimed at but, for clarity), but not returning citizens. They can hold the device, but have to fold and let citizens re-enter.

Also, an alternative to not carrying your device is to just wipe it before boarding/reaching your port of entry. Let them pretend to be Hollywood csi detectives and image a freshly-wiped phone. Then restore from a backup later.

you Americans

so you aren’t American yourself, but you think you know our situation better than us? interesting logic there…

Right there with you, I have family to fall back on but I still have bills to pay

PowerPoint.

In the 1920s, the company had ties to the liberal nationalist German People’s Party and was accused by the Nazis of being an “international capitalist Jewish company”.[8] A decade later, it was a Nazi Party donor and, after the Nazi takeover of Germany in 1933, a major government contractor, providing significant material for the German war effort. Throughout that decade it purged itself of its Jewish employees; the remainder left in 1938.[9] Described as “the most notorious German industrial concern during the Third Reich”,[10] in the 1940s the company relied on slave labour from concentration camps, including 30,000 from Auschwitz,[11] and was involved in medical experiments on inmates at both Auschwitz and Mauthausen.[12][13] One of its subsidiaries supplied the poison gas Zyklon B, which killed over one million people in gas chambers during the Holocaust.[c][15]

I learned a decent bit about WW2 in school but this bit was totally glossed over. Pretty big oversight since they were the source of the gas…

“but those are my cum stains!”

…to parrrrrty

Right-o

“AHHHH MOTHERLAND!”

Re the snippet: As a geeky gay guy coming to terms + coming out in the early 2000s, school faculty has always been void of trust, compassion, or safety. Hell, the majority of the motherfuckers I bumped into are vile pieces of bile and shit, that hate their lives and the poor decisions that brought them there, and will happily make an awful experience even worse, by any means possible, and do it with a smile on their face. 20+ years later, they just have more power to be even bigger shitstains.

At least all the fuckers that I encountered will all be dead soon - I will have a lot of graves to dance on.

While thunder is good - I’m using it right now - it’s ironic because it doesn’t yet support interacting with direct messages, lol. Always have to login to the instance web UI. I can read them, but that’s it.

It’s a diet aid too? This keeps getting better and better.

Stop, stop! He’s already dead!

I remember tk domains being free, yep

That’s unfortunate :(

Oh what the fuck, dev came off like a fucking ass to a minor suggestion.
