World News@lemmy.world•German teens denied entry to US for traveling ‘under false pretenses’ and ‘intended to work’: Border PatrolEnglish
1 yearA relative of mine just had a baby, and her mom came from out-of country to meet her grandchild and help mom and dad in those first crazy weeks with a newborn.
But when she told CBP that she was “coming to help her daughter with the new baby” she got detailed and questioned for 2 hours. Eventually they let her through but they were really trying to pin her coming to work illegally on a tourism visa.
If you or a loved one are in a similar situation, just say you’re “visiting family”. Apparently it’s a legal gray area in this shithole to help your child take care of a newborn.

Europe@feddit.org•Stunning Signal leak reveals depths of Trump administration’s loathing of EuropeEnglish
1 yearThe way he kinda flipped a switch at the VP debate and acted like an actual human being while being directly compared to Walz, then turned right back into a couch-fucking cretin afterwards, seems to support this.

Steam Hardware@sopuli.xyz•Leak: Valve is making a Steam Controller 2 and a ‘Roy’ for its Deckard
2 yearsDual trackpads but still dual joystick and a real D-pad.
I really tried to like my steam controller but the trackpads as the main control surface didn’t work that well.
Fractals are not necessarily self repeating, they just contain detail at arbitrarily small scales.
Coastlines are indeed fractals, and a similar argument could be made for any border defined by natural phenomena (so like, not the long straight US/Canada border).

World News@lemmy.world•‘Media outlets are erasing Sinead O’Connor’s Muslim identity’English
3 yearsIn short, yes, Islam varies a lot based on the actual community you’re a part of. Few places are as extreme as Afghanistan, even if you look at other conservative theocracies. When you’re looking at Muslim communities in Western Europe, it’s a very different situation.




Per that last bit, I’m guessing they never had a lawyer present. Would make any of those fabricated statements null and void, if the constitution meant anything.
