Nice try though, radio goon! The entire purpose of a numbers station is that it is impossible to decrypt without the one time pad and very, very difficult to trace the source - there are ones running from the cold war that people have been unable to track down where they're coming from. By providing a phone number, you're not only braking the encryption, but giving an endpoint on a wholly traceable telephone. So yeah, amusing as it was, there is no ounce of truth to it.

quote:I don't want this to turn into yet another "gently caress Trump" thread but I'm really scared of what's going to happen to my family. If you work at Boeing, your job should absolutely help you through the process. One of my teammates had visa issues last year and the company let her work from Canada for a year while they straightened it out for her. And heeeere's the FLIP SIDE quote:I'm a boogeyman for a lot of people right now. I'm a Republican who voted for Trump and loves everything he's doing. (a) "White" is not an ethnicity or culture and being proud of being white means nothing. Whatever your actual ethnicity is (I'm guessing WASP? You have to be a WASP if you're that racist against other white people), there are probably plenty of events celebrating it if you bother to look for them. (b) DACA kids were as a rule educated in America like the first confessor, I don't know what you think they are exactly

LoL at the idea that multinational billion dollar corporations will pay more for American labor when literally the entire mid/southwest has been built on the backs of $50 day laborers from across the border since at least the 50s (before that is was Irish and Chinese and before that it was SLAVES). "Paying for American Labor" is just not an option when it's 5x-10x as expensive as outsourcing to Mexico/China/India and further we're already seeing massive failures of our agricultural centers because all these deportations are leaving massive fields of crops rotting in the sun because no one in our country wants to work 12 hours in the hot sun for $5.50 an hour. Like obviously Trump fesh could be a baiting troll but unfortunately I've learned from the LoL thread is that the difference between a real Trump fan and an ironic Trump fan is... one believes in being a racist rear end in a top hat and the other thinks being a racist rear end in a top hat is funny!

Doctor Malaver posted:Hot women have much more dating options than friends and they have even fewer male friends. They don't tend to risk losing a good friend to get a date/sex. As for meeting their hot girlfriends... I'd rather count on your hot guy friend (gay or straight) doing that. And regarding that fesh in particular - if she is really invested in the friendship then losing it would probably be a bit deal for her, because genuine guy friends aren't easy to come by. There's like the slimmest chance in the world that everything goes that guys way if he confesses his feelings, and even in the absolute best case scenario at least two other people + kids are devastated.

The second Trump one is definetly bait. If he was really trying he would have thrown something about Trump being such an amazing businessman that makes great business decisions. I have some IRL friends that tell me this whenever Trump makes a decision they like. The best was when it was thought Trump was going to fire Jeff Sessions and a friend told me Trump was doing that because Trump understood legalizing weed is good for business.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that the fessor for DACA and anti-DACA is the same fessor in which case the troll is p good and most people are missing it. Well played, I redact my previous statement about it being lazy trolling. Given the recent lack of confessions it's way too convenient that two DACA related confessions come in despite it being a hot topic in the news atm.

Durzel posted:It seems like it's a uniquely female thing to have to deal with. Blokes never really have to second guess whether their mates are actually their mates or not, at least not to anywhere like the extent that I imagine women have to. It must get pretty depressing for women to have to go through the rigmarole over and over again of befriending a guy, thinking he's "not like other guys" - he's a true friend and nothing more, until such time as he actually reveals he sortof is like every other guy they've come across, worse even because they weren't even upfront and she'd invested all that time & trust into yet another doomed not-friend relationship. Ah well. It's not so clear cut. You can befriend someone you are attracted to and months or years later when situation changes (you become single, or the other person does, or you simply start developing deeper feelings for them) you reveal that. It doesn't mean that all that time you were faking friendship.

That first one raises a question for me (not a US citizen). How can someone who is an illegal immigrant join and serve in the military? It sounds impossible to me. What country would just let people rock up from wherever and enlist in an organisation full of secets and security? I can't imagine that "We lived here ages and I went to school here" gets you past the ID checks either. Or is the US military really that slack?

It's more that serving in the military helps you get citizenship. It's not a garuntee but it helps expedite the paperwork. I knew a few Australians that did that. Not sure if being an illegal changes that but knowing the military I would assume they don't give a gently caress. Your average grunt doesn't deal with secrets and security clearances are notorious for how easy they are to get. They don't usually dig too deep and just take the person's s word. Service garuntees citizenship (usually)

sneakyfrog posted:incorrect. Yeah, I used to work at a private prison that housed illegal aliens, and a couple of the inmates were veterans. They were in the middle of trying to get their citizenship before they got caught doing whatever crime and as a result they were just going to be deported despite their military service. I always thought that was pretty hosed up.

Welp, learned something today but then again, if he says he served surely it would make sense to do one of the contracts. Then again it's most likely fiction anyway.

Skipping: someone going into way too much detail about his fantasies about Minions. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow; it's probably quote:I don't like sports. Just plain don't. I don't crawl up people's asses when they talk about sports or enjoy them, I just find it all dull. Back when I was a kid I had to play baseball year round. Fall ball involves a lot of double header games. I got so bored during single games, two was a nightmare. I use to have this metagame where I'd hum a different Nintendo song to myself depending on the strikes and outs. The Mario starman song was saved for when there were 2 outs and 2 strikes. Personally my parents stopped making me play youth baseball when it became obvious I was miserable at it; you probably shouldn't have to follow your mom around begging her to let you quit quote:I teach high school. This will be light on specifics because while I can conceptualize that I'm an rear end in a top hat, I really don't want to see any consequences beyond getting dressed down by other assholes on the internet. Why are your midterms Scantron tests Anyway, hope you enjoyed possibly loving up some kid's life permanently because he referenced nerd poo poo a little too much for you

To the first guy, I feel your pain. For three years I had to do soccer. I hated soccer, I had no clue how the game worked, I wasn't competitive and I wasn't athletic. But my dad made it to the provincial championship as a teen so I had to do it. So I do it for three years with my dad occasionally watching the odd game and not really involved, it's very obvious that I hate it by the end so I get to quit. What rubbed salt in the wound was by that time my sister is the same age I was when I started so now she has to do it, but now my dad gets real involved and makes a concerted effort to help her improve and she gets better as time goes by. Neither of us play soccer now but it did piss me off for a while that he just blindly pushed me into that poo poo and got pissed that I wasn't enjoying it cause I sucked when he could've probably put some effort into teaching me that may have made the experience more enjoyable.
