Yeah, we have to be mindful of misleading statistics.

Supervivens@lemmy.world on 29 Jul 2024 15:03 next collapse

Yeah it says they are issuing “more than ever before” percentage is just a misleading statistic

US State Department insists it has in fact granted more visas in aggregate to African students than ever before.

Have you ever noticed that every single one of your comments are trash?

Deceptichum@quokk.au on 29 Jul 2024 06:04 collapse

I dunno Quick Look shows at least half of them are alright. The deleted ones were probably not so alright mind you.

Ah, my app shows the deleted comments in plain view.

In 1920, the League of Nations held a conference on passports, the Paris Conference on Passports & Customs Formalities and Through Tickets.[18] Passport guidelines and a general booklet design resulted from the conference,[19] which was followed up by conferences in 1926 and 1927.[20] The League of Nations issued Nansen passports to stateless refugees from 1922 to 1938.[21]

Weird, I didn’t realize the Nazis ran the entire League of Nations the very same year they were established and long before they ran Germany. That’s quite the unusual rise to power.

oh so you’re one of ‘those’ that doesn’t subscribe to the “Multiverse History of the World” theory. shame.

They all collapsed in on themselves when Trump became president. Now everything and nothing are all true.

So the Nazi’s DID and DID NOT create Visas! hah, check mate President Flying Squid, or should I say Citizen Flying Squid. I see what you’re up to or…I don’t. check mate indeed.

The comments here are weird. It’s an awful thing and I’m surprised it’s not under Trump but under Biden

dezmd@lemmy.world on 31 Jul 2024 02:36 collapse

What a weird comment, trying to pretend things are weird while making it weird.

When everything is weird, nothing is weird! Got ya
