    I don't mean to be a pedant, I really don't

    But you mean more than zero chance

    And that's terrible

    Dubh are you going to PAX South

    I'm literally on the West Coast

    staring right at the ocean

    and I didn't have the money to go to PAX Prime this year

    PAX South is even more out of my reach

    which sucks, because with money and without my usual anxieties I'd be hitting all the PAXs

    technically speaking

    i could actually go to PAX pretty easily now

    like, PAX Prime

    i live in Victoria, there's a boat that runs directly from Victoria to Seattle

    but eh

    I ain't got a passport and it's questionable whether I am permitted entry into the US anyway even if I had one, so

    I find that discussing the concept of privilege with a lot of my white male friends usually results in me hearing about how sad and terrible their lives have been.

    But Viv, I grew up in a nice little cottage town in the hills and went to a nice primary school and helped my Dad work on cars and fix the house and we had a bunch of really great pets and I had a nice bike and I got a remote control car and Mum and Dad used to cook pretty great dinners all the time...

    Just AWFUL, because I never got that racing go-kart I wanted!

    I kinda thought of a good way to describe it while at work tonight, tho I'll prob screw it up because brain problems, anyway

    I'm a white male, I have had a pretty shitastic life, like abuse, homelessness, etc, you name it, but the one thing I know, it would have probably be 10 times harder if I wasn't white and male. And that's privilege ( I always want to put a D in privilege)

    Pony why wouldn't you be permitted entry into the US

    some stuff happened back in the day

    i don't want to get into the particulars but

    anyway

    i've had some folks i know who can find this stuff look into it and the answer is ???

    i'm probably fine but i basically can't know until i try because the TSA is fucking stupid and plays by whatever rules it fucking feels like

    the worst case scenario is i try and i'm refused entry

    there's no longer any risk of me crossing the border and being surprised by law enforcement

    From Canada to Us by chance Pony? I am going through all that paperwork currently for myself and may be able to answer questions

    From Canada to Us by chance Pony? I am going through all that paperwork currently for myself and may be able to answer questions

    yes, from Canada to the US

    to be clear this is not a conventional person's problem

    this is a me problem

    like, I personally may be barred from the US because of reasons, which I'm not going to get into and at this juncture I'd like to discontinue this line of conversation and it's going to be my last post on this subject

    I have personally checked into this and gotten conflicting answers on it at different times from different levels of agencies. I have also had contacts of mine who have access to certain tiers of information look into the subject and the answer they have come up with is basically "if they let you into the country, you're not going to get arrested or be in any serious shit, but that's basically going to be their decision and because of how ass backwards they run their borders who knows how that will go down unless you try"

    so basically at some point if I ever get around to getting my passport, my wife and I might just plan a day trip to take the clipper to Seattle or something just to test it out and see what happens. If the worst happens and I get told "Sir, you cannot enter" then it's not a big deal and I just have to accept that I don't get to visit the US until whenever, or if nothing happens and I get into the country then everything is fine

    but it's not something I'm going to gamble on with say, a PAX trip where I've booked a hotel room and shit and could suddenly find myself unable to get into the country and now I'm fucked out of my trip and a bunch of money

    Not pushing for more info, will drop after this post, just mine is also I'm guessing the same kind of unconventional , and for mine I have to look into what's called a Waiver, is separate from a pardon. There are temporary ones, at least in B.C.

    I looked her up.

    First listing was on RationalWiki.

    So you know that's a good start.

    That's a general good approach to looking up internet famous people.

    When one of the top listings is a specialized wiki (Conservapedia and Encyclopedia Dramatica especially) you know you're onto something special.
