Remember that talk about fake candidates from north korea which will immediately fall off the interview when you ask them "how fat is kim jong un"?
I have a new one for american applicants - how fat is JD Vance??

#432Going to the USA as a tourist might be the most stupid action that one can make at this time. Unless you have a dying mother or father, there is absolutely no reason to visit this country. It reminds me of the tourists that used to go to North Korea for fun some years ago, it never was a good idea.
I'd go further and say that going to the USA as a tourist unethical at this point. Keeping your money out the USA is the best thing you can do for the USA and the world right now.
Sadly, both FIFA and the IOC are still trying very hard to bring their money and tourists to the USA (World Cup 26 and Olympics 28).

#433Wonder what the "political correctness is bad" "nobody is allowed to crack jokes anymore" "cancel culture is out of control" crowd will say about this one...
Probably either skepticism that it happened https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44369233 Or celebration https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44369218 The whole “political correctness is so bad that we need to elect the current regime” crew only ever really wanted to feel aligned with power and are more or less indifferent to what that power does so long as they are periodically made to feel reassured that they are o…
Everything Trump does in the coming months will be met by his fans with either "fake news" or "we are better off with a king anyways."

#434Does even China does that? Go through pics on your personal device at the border? Refuse entry over memes.
Yes they do, once you connect to cell service in China your data is comprised. As well as unlawful detentions and exit bans.
But we don't talk about that for whatever reason.

While he oversees a government that enforces punitive actions on speech. Guess which action is more important?
He oversees almost nothing. The VP has no constitutional powers except to tiebreak the senate and succeed the president.
That's like saying Stephen Miller has no power. Technically no, but he is running the show.
Him and the people that backed him are the machine behind of all of this.

So sad that one little man can affect your view of an entire place. The tone of this thread really pins Trump as a true King.
So sad that the policies and actions implemented by the current "regime" can affect the views of people that are not living there, or perhaps you just haven't been paying attention to the news since February 2025...
The world might be much better off if we could remember that a place is that place, not just the few rich people who own the guns and the news.

This is unheard of anywhere in the developed world. Security at airports simply doesn't have this sort of power outside the US.
That's simply not true. Ask people who have tried going to Canada from the US how welcoming border guards can be at their ports of entry. Say the wrong thing or try to cross with the wrong thing (in my friend's case, it was a set of tools used to repair electronics) and they will try to jam you up and deny entry.
Yup. They asked me what guns I had in the vehicle. Totally fair. I said none and expected they might want to search the vehicle, which would have been totally fair as well. But they weren't interested in that anymore, they started asking what kind of guns I and my passenger had at home. None, for me again, but my passenger admitted to having some at home 500 miles away. He later said he felt compelled to be honest because he didn't know what databases they might be hooked into. The border guard then began grilling him about the kinds of guns he had, what their purpose was, why he would own them, etc etc. Asshole invasive questions that served no purpose. I think the border guard just saw an opportunity to needle an American for being American. At least they let us through after that. They never searched the car, clearly they didn't have any legitimate concern about anything.

"I don't like going other places, so I don't think other people should go there places either"
Well traveling the world is a privilege, not a right. And if you go somewhere you should have a reason other than just sightseeing.
Thats the dumbest thing I've heard today.

#439To play devils advocate: I have a feeling the rules around what's allowed on social media according to these new rules are pretty vague and so whoever vetted this ended up being the judge in this case. I doubt jd vance made some memo about not allowing bald vance meme sharers from entering the country.
Do you doubt that there was a memo sent out that instructed CPD to deny entry to anyone who has anything negative to say about the administration? Because that seems like exactly something this admin would do.

When I say it’s possible, I don’t think that it’s the official CBP policy, but I have had enough interactions with power tripping cops to believe that it’s possible that the kid was disrespectful to the wrong guy. Customs agents have wide latitude in determining who can enter, and I could see a situation where an already angry agent saw the Vance thing, got even angrier and said you’re outta here.
Sure, maybe. But there’s clearly an entire other side of the story along with the Norwegian government warning other travelers, they must have their documents on them.
