  • Of all the things you could've said, that's what you chose to comment on? Don't start looking silly now and start arguing semantics. You came at this strong. What happened? Losing confidence all of a sudden when called out?

    Anyway, I'd love that for you!

    I don't know if you know, but generally speaking, an election is a vote held to choose who holds political power. And less commonly, it's used in the general sense to make a generic choice. I chose one definition over the other deliberately to make a distinction about the purpose of votes on a referendum or ballot initiative that are less commonly said to have been "elected". But you know, I won't get mad if you "elect" cake for breakfast over scrambled eggs. You do you, boo.

    Of all the things you could’ve said, that’s what you chose to comment on?

    Yes, I chose to comment on that because it shows you're arguing based on incorrect ideas.

    And less commonly, it’s used in the general sense to make a generic choice

    No it's not. You thought it was, but it's not. I'm talking about political elections, you're talking about voting to choose between options. Electing to choose something over another thing doesn't mean you held an election lol

    Words have meanings, and you clearly don't know what the words you're using mean.

  • You’re basically saying that everyone that can have anything to do with the database and systems around it are corrupt and working together.

    No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them. Rules and procedures don't matter if the people in charge ignore them. And again, you're not getting access to any of the data we're talking about in the first place, because the government would have to grant that access, and you're not a person as far as they're concerned in this scenario. What organisations have you worked for that would just give out information to a person they can't verify the identity of?

    That’s a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

    No, it's happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you're up to speed.

    No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them.

    No, they don't - not when it's illegal, and especially not when it's something like this. You guys always love to bang on about the whole January 6 thing where Trump supposedly ordered all sorts of things of the ballot counters etc - and they didn't do it, did they? People say no to their bosses all the time.

    because the government would have to grant that access, and you’re not a person as far as they’re concerned in this scenario.

    So the DOJ/FBI/CIA/etc never investigate anything internal? I'm not talking about me specifically lol.

    No, it’s happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you’re up to speed.

    Wait so this National Citizenship Database already exists and is already being corrupted with legitimate citizens being deleted from it because they're not registered Republicans?! Where can I read more about this? How was it exposed? You just finished telling me that there would be no way to know, didn't you? So how do you know?

  • You're free to go look at the statistics easily found, I'm not gonna do your homework for you. Were you at the border?

    So you tried but couldn't find them, because you're wrong. Gotcha.

  • Of all the things you could’ve said, that’s what you chose to comment on?

    Yes, I chose to comment on that because it shows you're arguing based on incorrect ideas.

    I investigate well before I reply. Do you really want to go there?

    You sure about that? Looks like you're the one struggling with reading comprehension. Either that or you're grasping at straws already.

    Anyway, nice diversion. Just like you did last time.

    This took 30 seconds to find

    Visa overstays have outnumbered people who enter the country illegally at the Southern border every year since 2007, according to a report by the Center for Migration Studies. The report's authors estimate that the number of total visa overstays was 600,000 more than the total number of border crossers and that in 2014, visa overstays accounted for two-thirds of all new undocumented immigrants.

    This article has the most recent data I could find but if you look at the sources you can probably find better info. You're welcome to prove me wrong.

    2017, so before Biden opened the borders for all. Not really relevant in 2025.

  • Jokes on them. I cancelled my voter registration the day after the last election.

    gop dominated states regularly purge democratic voters from the rolls anyways, its also the reason why people rarely get jury duty form the states that are regularly purged.

  • 2017, so before Biden opened the borders for all. Not really relevant in 2025.

    The trend has continued steadily since then, and furthermore,

    Bier wrote in November that his work showed the Biden administration “has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.”

    This is from 2024, the DHS spokesperson at the time:

    “Under this Administration, the estimated annual apprehension rate has averaged 78%, identical to the rate of the prior Administration.”

    The idea Biden opened the borders is thoroughly debunked. Like I said you're the one telling me a bunch of bullshit so it's on you to disprove reality, I don't care enough to spoonfeed you the facts.

    Haha good one.

    Wait……you’re serious?

    I gave you the data, as they say "facts don't care about your feelings."

    theoretically software support This. And it's not only due to drivers and much more due to them not having insourced software development and their outsourced developers not using Fairphones as their daily drivers.

    The problem is the cost of each. Right now material is dirt cheap and energy prices are going up. And we are not good at long term planning.

    Only way I'll want a different phone brand is if it comes with ZERO bloatware and has an excellent internal memory/storage cleanse that has nothing to do with Google's Files or a random app I'm not sure I can trust without paying or rooting. So far my A series phones do what I need mostly and in my opinion is superior to the Motorola's my fiancé prefers minus the phone-phone charge ability his has, everything else I'm just glad I have enough control to tweak things to my liking, however these days Samsungs seem to be infested with Google bloatware and apps that insist on opening themselves back up regardless of the widespread battery restrictions I've assigned (even was sent a "Stop Closing my Apps" notif that sent me to an article ) short of Disabling many unnecessary apps bc fully rooting my devices is something I rarely do anymore. I have a random Chinese brand tablet where I actually have more control over the apps than either of my A series phones whee Force Stopping STAYS that way when I tell them to! I hate being listened to for ads and the unwanted draining my battery life and data (I live off-grid and pay data rates because "Unlimited" is some throttled BS) so my ability to control what's going on in the background matters a lot to me, enough that I'm anti Meta-apps and avoid all non-essential Google apps. I can't afford topline phones and the largest data plan, so I work with what I can afford and I'm sad refurbished A lines seem to be getting more expensive while giving away my control to companies. Last A line I bought that was supposed to be my first 5G phone was network locked, so I got ripped off, but it still serves me well in off-grid life. Only app that actually regularly malfunctions when I Force Stop it's background presence is Roku, which I find to have very an almost insidious presence in our lives. Google Play, Chrome, and Spotify never acts incompetent in any way no matter how I have to open the setting every single time I turn Airplane Mode off. Don't need Gmail with Chrome and DuckDuckGo has been awesome at intercepting self-loading ads. I hope one day DDG gets better bc Google seems to be terrible lately and I even caught their AI contradicting itself when asking about if Homo Florensis is considered Human (yes) and then asked the oldest age of human remains, and was fed the outdated narrative of 300,000 years versus 700,000+ years bipedal pre-humans have been carbon dated outside of the Cradle of Humanity in South Africa. SO sorry to go off-topic, but I've got a big gripe with Samsung's partnership with Google, especially considering the launch of Quantum Computed AI that is still being fine-tuned with company-approved censorships.
