Ok yeah I totally get how that would be a burden… But I wouldn’t like to attempt doing all that stuff in PHP ;)

What do you mean? You can just make some react/typescript template and fastapi server thing, or any of dozens of equivalents, extremely quickly. I’m by no means an expert on web stuff as I develop software for controlling machines, but we used the above for some internal services in my last job and I could get a clean and functional site running in a day with no prior experience. I get that for public facing stuff you’ll have some higher requirements but I couldn’t imagine those wouldn’t apply just because you’re coding in PHP…

Those people don’t exist, they are just an excuse for you to be cruel

Depends what you are thinking of as long distance. NY to LA? Sure. NY to Chicago would be 4-4.5 hours, downtown to downtown, with a proper train (typical French TGV speeds of 330 kmh / 205 mph). Faster than flying when you count the time and cost of getting to the airport etc., and that’s by no means the fastest train. The fastest lines of the Shinkansen and the next generation TGV they’re planning in France are over 1.5 times as fast as that.

Even if you adjusted for population (550 mil vs 330 mil) you could easily at least connect all the major cities in the US, given how many smaller regional lines there are in Europe too

but even if we had enough of that, there’d still be mentally ill people and drug addicts that would prefer to live on the street

How about we get there first and then you can hand wring about any of these supposed people who are left?

Um, that event has been moved forwards to August this year

Yeah, I get that, but when it dominates the media like that it’s not surprising that it still has a big effect on how people feel

Well yes, but

Nationality

Idk man, even SPD and greens are going hard on the anti immigrant rhetoric and even linke isn’t saying much against it, I understand it’s not truly the whole population but when it’s most of the political spectrum it really makes people feel unwelcome

Do we? My first guess was English but they could ofc as easily be American

Yeah, but it did have cute vibes and a lot of people love things just for cute vibes

Uh yeah its kinda hard to ignore the entire country fucking hates your guts lol, would make anyone want to leave

Yes

Ok boomer

If what you are doing is legal, legitimate and moral … then you never have to mask your name or hide your face

Disregard this, hide your face at protests people

You haven’t provided any pro arguments. “They collaborated with ICE” is not an argument that the purpose of the university system is to contain people against their will. It tells us the administrators are evil, sure. It tells us about the role of universities in enforcing the kind of discourse allowed in our society. But the jail that ICE takes people to is the carceral institution, not the university they take them from.

Sorry, no, I’m on your side regarding the morality of all this stuff but that doesn’t make university a carceral institution.

Uh yeah all that stuff is bad, but you can leave university if you want

They’re quite a lot pointier, I think it would help
