  • They store the data from everytime you enter and exit the country. For citizens they claim to delete that data after a couple days- but I would not be too confident in that. So if you are a citizen ALWAYS opt out of biometric entry and exit. I’ve multiple times been told it is not an option, then being forced to wait 10 minutes- harassed about why I want to opt out, then it suddenly becomes an option. This is despite CBPs policy that you cannot be penalized for it. I have several audio recordings of this happening because I noticed how much of a pattern it was.

    Except that is not the principle in either country. There are plenty of cases where the state is in principle in control, or actually in control. Russia, similar to other economies, such as fascist Italy or China is structured in such away where you can exist as a “private” company as long as you ultimately bow to the state. You could also put many of the gulf states into that club. If socialism is not “when government does stuff” then capitalism is not “when rich people”

    I see what you’re saying but I think when you really get to know a person you’d be hard pressed to find two that overlap so much that theres nothing they can learn from each other.

    No I agree completely, its just less interesting, and less opportunity.

    In reality though, whether we mostly agree on most values(other than how they treat me and specific people I care about) does not have much of an impact in how I choose who date.

    for example, human rights

    The thing is, I think you, I, and basically everyone disagrees on what human rights are. It would be hard to date in much of the world if you believed in freedom of speech, or vice versa in other places.

    they have to be able to see humanity in all

    Again, I think in many places its hard to find people who do.

    I don’t think its constructive for us to be a relationship if they don’t at least have the potential to get there.

    I don’t see why someone having the same view of morality as me is necessary to have a relationship.
