US CBP are going to eliminate the need for their own jobs by scaring the rest of the world away from wanting to visit.

That’s what he wants them to do…

Vive le roi!

We need to make this @cheese_greater@lemmy.world’s top comment of all time.

Uninflammable

Growing up I always learned (I think) the “insert missing text” symbol was shaped like the one in the pic, like a caret symbol.

The odd thing is I also remember the caret and inserted word being at the top like in OP’s image, but style guides I can find now show the caret at the bottom and the inserted text at the top.

Wikipedia seems to indicate using a downward facing caret, or a caret with an extra upward arm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caret_(proofreading)

TIL!

All that to say the formatting of OP’s pic, no matter the direction of the arrow/caret, makes it hard to read. A little “don’t dead open inside” or something.

Edit to add: This one shows it the way I remember it https://dmlfnsgrade9isawesome.weebly.com/editing1.html

30 minutes? You need to know when to give up buddy. It’s especially fucking rude on an airplane where there are lots of people and limited bathrooms. And security concerns…

That said, when you open the door and you see the dude is actually sitting on the can with his pants down - and not up to something nefarious - maybe you don’t drag him out?

Then we have the cops, need I say more?

Jeez, assholes all around.

Anyone who does will give you the “my brother” nod of approval

That’s an army sized number of people who will be sent home to go through hell.

So he went with Musk, the biggest cancer we have, a known entity for at least a decade?

Uhh, sorry, not sure what timeline you’re referring to, but Musk was being compared to Tony Stark up until about 2022. He was a weird and eccentric douche, but hadn’t gone right-wing MAGA evil yet. Tesla was on top and it was not controversial (to most centre-left) to have one. In fact it was a progressive statement until recently. Plus SpaceX was fucking rocking it and that would have been important to Mark Kelly.
