US boarder agents - show me you Facebook
ME: I deleted it in 2016
BA: okay show me your insta
ME: I don't have insta
BA: wtf.jpg, okay Twitter?
ME: nope.
BA: visibly frustrated ... Reddit then?
ME: deleted that account when they fucked over 3rd party apps.
BA: writing refused to comply, rejected.
Same, but if they’re trained to look for the Voyager icon I could be in “trouble”
But for now, this is the last place I can say it:
I hope Trump is hanged for treason and violently shits himself to death out of fear and panic in the seconds before the noose snaps. And then a buncha hand-scrawled notes confessing his pedophelia, sexual assaults, rapes, and love for AOC’s feet fall from his pockets
I think Signal has an option built it in to disguise the app as something else. Lemmy apps should start adding that function.
Voyager does have a face-id-to-unlock feature that enable. But yeah, a facade icon/name would be awesome as well
They wouldn’t hesitate to hold it to your face to unlock it.
Passcode would be better, but I’m not sure the 5th amendment works at border crossings like it should.
I think Android in general has a way of hiding certain apps.
I couldn't find the options so I just don't go to the US. Seems like the easier response.
I hope he gets Ted Kaczynskis old cell.
same but interstellar for me.
I wish I knew a Genie to make your wish come true.
The Monkey Paw says "nah, all good on this one, no downside"
Can't speak to a Border Agent if you stay away from that shithole country.
*taps forehead
sadly I'm stuck in the center of the shithole (in a thankfully blue area).
They want to make us all antifa terrorists if we’ve ever dissed capitalism or Christianity. Or christo-fascism presumably.
It will really depend on if the customs person knows what Jerboa is.
I wouldn't volunteer that information....
I don't think I would be allowed in the US anyway. Given that my last 5 years of social media history is non-existent I suspect they would think I was being subversive.
You're starting to make China look progressive. What are you doing?
Ditto re social media. I bet not having social media will get you discriminated against for being old.
Depends... some people are just more careful with their internet usage and don't post every political opinion online.
Some people need money, have families...
But anyways: trump can suck my dick
I'm a citizen, y'all can't deport me.
(I mean, if they try, I'll get a bigger press coverage than Mahmoud Khalil, so if they do, so be it, I'll die a martyr and my name would live down history)
I’m a citizen, y’all can’t deport me.
Considering how ICE ignores things like "Due Process", you won't even get the chance to prove that you're a citizen.
We'll see how far this shit deteriorates... its quite possible... I just hope I get my name in the history books lol.
I was talking to a recruiter the other day and apparently it's almost impossible to recruit internationally for the US.
trump can suck my dick
Careful there, he might take you up on that
Out of curiosity, why would you get bigger press coverage? Zero judge, just curious.
I mean, denaturalizing a citizen is a red line that will probably cause mass riots.
I'm also part of the "model minority" stereotype (I mean it's a bit harder to villainize East Asians than brown/black people is what I'm saying, not saying that I agree with the stereotype) so... an Anti-CCP ethnic Chinese with no criminal convictions being deported for criticizing the government, something that I would get jailed for in China for doing so, I mean... this story probably gonna win me a lot more PR points.
This shit will spread throughout not only the US News, but it's gonna go on WeChat, I mean, there has been events in the past where the Asian American community have protested. I mean a citizen getting deported, everyone else is gonna start worrying about themselves.
At least that's my theory. Lets hope I don't have to find out.
Considering the categories of people that have already been deported in the last year, I think you're not taking the threat seriously enough.
People also said that Roe v Wade would be a red line that'd lead to mass protest.
I wouldn't bet on it.
I mean, there were mass protests, they just didn't do shit.
I think you have a very optimistic view of the US if you think the people that don’t care if one group of non-white citizens are deported is suddenly going to be shocked and appalled when a different group of non-white citizens is on the chopping block.
I sincerely hope that it never comes to that, but thinking that your deportation is going to be the straw to break the camels back is a little arrogant.
Is lemmy social media?
If not, i have no social media in the last 5 years except 1 post on facebook trying to rehome a dog.
I don't consider reddit/lemmy as social media. The lack of 'necessity' of having your personal info plastered about and inserted into every exchange makes them something different. They're just a different form of forum, in my opinion, with nested comments instead of a long chain.
Forums are a type of social media. It's a media platform where you can be social.
But you can also be anti social and just bark on lemmy. So it’s not 100% social media (at least I don’t consider it as such).
Yeah I never really got the whole "forums aren't social media" thing. Only difference I've ever seen is lacking a need for followers which I guess for a lot of people is enough.
Given that Trump's USA is no longer an ally to us in Europe, I'll never set foot in that country again.
It's not "Trump's USA", he's just one tiny, orange facet of the same beast, which is world-wide (with USA being the source).
NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, Walmart, et al find Trump very useful as he is motivated by greed alone.
You're pretty naive if you think the US is the source, lol.
How so? USA is money central, the capital of the biggest since at least WW2.
I'm not saying the original source, I didn't mean to imply that. I think that would be the banks if I had to pick just one.
Who do you think is the source today or how far do you go back?
Ha! I guess.
I wish Charlie Kirk was alive to see this. Only so he could be shot through the throat. Again.
It'd get me shot in certain parts of the USA.
I'm on her side
My genetics already has me barred.
Right!? Like I can guarantee you it isn’t worse than trumps himself… I would like to see the guidelines they are going to judge you on. Lmao, the president probably wouldn’t be able to enter.
They don't create consistent rules.
Honestly true. Especially with how angry these snowflakes get about the smallest things.
Did you truly life, if you didn't make at lease one passing reference to that "I have read some obituaries with great pleasure" quote about Trump? Don't think so.
But I dont have any :(
Lemmy counts.
Edit: After a brief look at your history, you're fine.
If I travelled to the US, my latest post would get me and three generations of my family sent to Aligator Alcatraz
~~Trump's~~ USA. The USA is USA, fight back
How about like 12, or whenever he announced his campaign?
