The State Department is super suspicious of international marriages due to all the loser white men with mail-order brides. High rates of fraud, likely to be denied.

If you start a company you can give yourself a job, but you still need to be qualified, i.e. 4 year degree in the relevant field.

Besides, who has $100,000 in cash lying around?

Gangsters make terrible soldiers. They’re only good when they’re up against the unarmed, and even then they are much like US soldiers in Vietnam: prone to atrocity.

For that matter, civilian militias armed with small arms don’t stand a chance against organized military. You need heavy weapons and most importantly support from a great power to even have a shot and your k/d ratio is going to be abysmal.

Good luck getting a visa to enter. You can’t just decide to move there, you have to have a reason: a job offer (requires 4 year degree, yes they call your university and check, the days of phony diplomas are long over), become a student (nobody over 30) or be married to one of their citizens.

It wasn’t that big of a deal before the movie. It was just, they called it unsinkable and it sank on its first voyage, symbol of man’s hubris, and that sort of thing. Then there was that rich asshole who dove down to the wreck and started looting the dead bodies, which offended some people but others were like dude I totally want to buy a pocketwatch from the Titanic that would be awesome!

Young people after the movie came out: “OH MY GOD, you mean the Titanic was REAL?!?!”

$300 ticket

$300 2nd ticket

$150 tip

$50 2nd tip

$40 pizza and bacon donut (eww)

$840 already, plus probably another $4-500 for air ticket, another $4-500 for spending at the festival

He’s at ~$1700 already. Anyone who can drop that kind of cash can afford it. Although I would expect someone like this to have better tastes than Taco Smell. No artisanal charcuterie platter?

And, to be clear, it is a valid question!

What!?!?

We got censored for asking this question. It was established as fact by the fact-checkers and Dr. Fauci himself that there was no lab leak, and anyone who said so was a conspiracy theorist.

It’s a niche tea that’s not famous and only comes from one particular area of China. It’s not cheap, either. I like it a lot though. Look for the appellation Pingyang.

You’re doing a billion dollar corporation’s work for them. Don’t be a sucker. Get paid if you’re going to do this.

Don’t ever share one of these “viral” ads again. You know they’re counting on fools like you to fall for the hook and spread it around?
