Stats are still hugely in favour of flying over driving. But I would be lying if I said that I am not more apprehensive towards flying than I used to be.
I would never have even met her. She would not have been able to move here with our current rules. I am not in the US.
And it will keep working for a while. But it will make all businesses and governments more hesitant to become reliant on the US. So I think this strategy is not going to be good for Americans in the long run.

I have a certain amount of sympathy for why ES had to go down that route to take care of their out of control gang situation. But running prison hellholes for the world in exchange for aid/support is horrendous and morally bankrupt.
This is another step in a completely wrong direction for a country I once had hopes for.
So with the current administration's views on immigration you would never have met your wife?
I am in the same situation. The wonderful woman I am with would not have been here for me to meet if the current government in my country had been in power 10 years ago.
Now do $TRUMP!
But all evolution is not survival of the fittest individual. Group evolution is a thing.
It is better for a group if they behave "well" towards each other, and to other groups who they interact or trade with.
The idea that people only behave if they believe that they have a bearded guy in the sky watching them is strange to me.
And if morals were given from god, would there not be significantly lower levels of corruption in religious orgs than others?
Strong morals and ethics do not derive from religion, they are inherent to evolved human thought. But religions have co-opted morals and ethics and like to claim that you have to be religious to be imbibed with them from "god".
When you say you want to live in a Christian society, I would posit that you want to live in a moral and ethical society.
Drop the crutch of religion and stand on your own. Or keep the crutch, but recognize it for what it is.
Really?! I have much more of a love/hate relationship with them. People tend to misuse them heavily.
Once worked at a place that had repo A that included repo B that in turn included repo A. My recursive clone before leaving for the day did not go well...
I was hoping to learn something. I care about understanding. But I will get on with my life...
As an atheist I am genuinely curious about this. Do couples actually pray together? And what does that entail? Praying aloud together?
The idea gives me the creeps, tbh... Is this just a statistic that says that people married to controlling religious psychopaths do not get divorced?
Yes, I may have a bias 😂

How does this apply to Twitter? Bluesky? Nostr?
It probably went exactly as planned. Wishful thinking from bitcoiners was not planning.
Well, at last he freed Ross.
What happened to "Don't trust, verify"?
Trusting in some old book or belief is, to me, the ultimate appeal to authority cop out.
I have no beef with personal religion, only organized religion.
I’ll be damned. Ross is free. He’s been issued a full pardon.

Wow! Genuinely surprised! Good for Ross!
I'm European, watching this in disbelief from a distance. Knowing that his bs will likely mess things up here too.
But yeah, I'm all right...
And who is surprised?!
