US immigration (USCIS) is just as bad. During the pandemic, my father applied for a 6-month visa extension. After waiting 3 months with zero updates, he decided to leave the US before his original visa expired.
Six months later, I received the notice: his extension was approved—for only 3 months! Can you believe USCIS took 6 months to review an application, only to grant a 3-month extension? If my dad had blindly waited for the decision, his extension would have already been expired by the time the approval letter actually arrived!
Things at IKEA Tokyo that aren't available in the US: total $20 with tax. Lobster bisque, fish and chips with tartar sauce, fried chicken, smoked salmon, mango pudding, side salad, and self-serve drinks including coffee and tea.
@astronuts97@honeyNonABG Engineering and scientific knowledge leave no room for compromise, which is why Asians are so well-represented in STEM fields. DEI doesn’t apply here—if someone doesn’t know how to compute derivatives, limits, and double integrals, they can’t even pass a 200-level course.
