@AnarchoNinaWrites I seriously believe this is the kinda crap the CIA ask new recruit to do as part of some kind of hazing ritual.

@blaurascon this sounds like one of does please check if you're a terrorist question.
Hey, I’m looking for a roommate! I have a house in central Minnesota - it’s a three bedroom, me, a trans man, and two cats. #trans people specifically please dm for more info! :)
boosts appreciated!
some other details if you’re interested:
i currently co-own the house with my ex, who left. our plan is to sell it, but we can’t because it was just purchased in July. so this would be until spring or summer, and at that point I would potentially be interested in finding another place with the same roommate situation, if we all felt good about it.
I’m trans, 24, and while i like a decently clean house I’m pretty chill. My roommate is vegetarian and I’m vegan, so we wouldn’t want meat in the house.
Happy to discuss more if that sounds interesting :) I’m absolutely willing to take someone from far away!
@queenofnewyork I just realised I missed a word. I meant to say be prepared to walk anything back, no point in walking back prematurely.
@2d ugh, my email client was misconfigured.
Thanks, hope we will work something out. Further detail in my email.
@queenofnewyork if you have it written down, even in a diary, you can bring it up.
Just make sure to walk back anything that isn't in the written record.
41) A lot of places globally that have been magnets lately for US expats are experiencing serious impacts from that. Gentrification, extreme rise in housing costs and/or availability, inflation, sense of diminishing local culture, etc. Enter the new homeland with a lot of sensitivity to how our presence is disruptive to the lives of others. Tread lightly. Look for ways to become a contributing member of the community. I'm sorry this landed low on my random-order list. It's NOT a low priority.
@iamd3ad_un1corn Alien is sometimes used for extraterrestrial aliens, which of course is a very different thing.
Alien is apparently Latin, which means that modernised legal language should be avoiding the term. Not because it's dehumanising, but because it's considered anachronistic to write law in Latin.
@iamd3ad_un1corn alien is the correct legal term, especially for someone without an legal residence.
About the the Russians. in Sweden we had a lot of Russians coming from the Baltics, specifically because they didn't meet language requirements. and wanted permanent residency in the EU.
@MisuseCase @chiraag @rebeccawatson I honestly thought that mostly was a thing in the south. All I really know about prison labor in California is that one episode of Last Week Tonight about firefighters.
Prison labour in Sweden is also under paid, and most famously IKEA used prison labour in the DDR. Sweden is most definitely not sin free.
@chiraag @rebeccawatson I mean, I would rather have a debate about work in general. But working conditions should absolutely be unaffected by criminal penalties, why I would strongly argue for conditional release for work.
America is way to harsh in it's criminal penalties, and I would even argue that "penalties" is the wrong framing. Reintroducing former prisoners to society is made very difficult when they have no real work experience from their time behind bars.
@rebeccawatson I wish I could quote from the case directly. But the story was basically; a person detained by law sued the department of correction in Sweden because they believed they were unfairly asked to work, the court argued that due to the fact that society outside of the prison also placed a strong burden of work on the individual they could not rule in favour of the detained.
All to say I think at least some find it unfair that prisoners shouldn't ba asked to work.
