My son asked for a PS5 for Christmas
I said no
“Son, PlayStation is made by an evil corporation built on worker exploitation”
I got him another electronic gift instead - an EU-approved USB-C cable
He opened it with visible disgust
Then something utterly shocking happened
My wife’s boyfriend Arnold got him the PlayStation my son wanted
“Thank you uncle Arnold” my son hugged him for almost a minute
I pulled my wife aside and explained that her lover is undermining our values
She mumbled “at least he got him a real gift”
The morning after, while my son was still asleep, I took his console and went to the store
Thanks to the wonderful EU consumer protection law, I was able to get a full cash refund of €549
Then I bought a gift for my son that he truly deserves
€549 worth of carbon offset credits
When I came home my son was crying looking for his PS5
I smiled and showed him the carbon certificate
He started shaking and cried even more
Being a good parent means teaching your child European values
And I know my son will thank me for it in the future
@microbialawyer They know what they are doing better than you.
The difference is that you think your own choice of religion is superior. They have outgrown that.
@fwdaniels Any man who goes for more than 5 rounds with the same woman in a day is incompetent. No woman can take more than 5 rounds of complete, thorough, and bed-breaking pounding in a day.
In August 2022, I came to the United States on a student visa to pursue a 5-year direct, fully funded PhD with nothing but a bag full of dreams. Recently, one of those dreams came true: I submitted a self-petition to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for permanent residency and was approved under the EB-1A Alien of Extraordinary Ability classification on my first attempt.
The EB-1A green card is nicknamed the “Einstein Visa” after the renowned scientist Albert Einstein, due to its exceptionally high standards. It is reserved for individuals with “EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY” in their field. To qualify for the EB-1A, evidence of sustained national and international acclaim is required.
With this, my wife and I will be permanent residents, and someday, citizens of the United States of America.
The truth is, it took a village, and I’m grateful to God and everyone He used to make this happen.
And now that this is off my checklist, let’s get this PhD over with. It’s dissertation and publication o’clock!
God bless the United States of America🇺🇸
Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution — an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.
