Your behavior of intolerance is a sign, however.
People like you are why I wish the US had re-education camps like China. You need to unlearn your bullshit.

I never liked tattoos and they’re more-often-than-not an indicator of people that I should avoid.
I never liked bootlicking, individualistic, snowflake fascists and they’re more-often-than-not an indicator of people that I should avoid.
I’m honestly ok with sending you to a concentration camp with no regards for your safety or wellbeing after that comment.
Tattoos are a form of free speech that applies to one’s body, and should be afforded all of the protections of the first amendment.
I cannot believe we’re having this conversation in 2025.

Good luck! Stay safe

It looks like the Fairphone 5 covers T-Mobile’s 5G Frequency Band 1 frequencies (bold), but Frequency Band 2 is not covered (italic).
Regarding 4G, the Fairphone 5 covers all LTE networks (bold) except for extended range band B25 (italics).
it doesn’t support US bands for TMobile
It covers some, but not all.

I agree. Maybe immigrating Europe or emigrating the US, but that does seem odd.
This is already common usage and I don’t see the need for any prefixes to the word.
As we’ve already seen in this thread, sometimes prefixes are needed to help establish the arrow of causation when people do migrate. Did they come to or leave from this or that country? Etc.
not the current english word.
Good thing language can change over time :)
Another reason to go vegan:
Your butter won’t have shit in it!
people were immigrating from Europe
The linguistically correct term her would be emigrating from Europe.
to the US
This is immigrating.
emigrating to Europe
This is immigration.
from the US
The word you’re looking for is emigration.
emigrating from Europe
You’re correct here.
to the US
Once again, immigration.
immigrating to Europe
This is the linguistically correct use of the term.
from the US
Proper word would be emigrating.
Easiest solution is to say migrating
Migration by itself doesn’t indicate whether you’re referring to domestic-only movement, where people migrate inside of a country, or domestic-to-foreign where they cross a border, or foreign-to-foreign movement.
It all depends on the boundary you set.
If your chosen boundary is Europe, people moving to Europe are immigrating there, and people moving from Europe are emigrating there.
If your chosen boundary is the US, immigration is moving to the US while emigration is moving from the US.
Since migration isn’t specific and can refer to any of the above cases, I prefer transmigration since “trans-” refers to “across” which I often interpret as “out from and in to”.
We don’t need to give up on prepositions in order to have more accurate language.
In my view, “migrate” according to Etymonline originates from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) root *mei which means “to change, go, move”.
I don’t believe this term refers to moving in or out of something, or any other preposition.
As we’ve been discussing in this post, immigrate and emigrate represent inverses of each other. It makes sense to look for logical ways to combine those.
I think the best prefix for this would be trans- for, according to Etymonline, this means “across, beyond, through, on the other side of; go beyond”. Specifically, I would refer to trans- as meaning “out from and in to”, which gives us the word “transmigrate”. Etymonline has a dictionary entry for “transmigration”.
It looks like Merriam-Webster, Oxford, and American Heritage dictionaries support “transmigrate” as an entry.
According to Etymonline,
Immigrate = in- “into, in, on, upon” from PIE root *en + migrare “to move” from PIE root *mei
Emigrate = assimilated form of ex- “out” from PIE root *eghs + migrare “to move” from PIE root *mei
So I guess to correct usage would be:
Immigrating to Europe/US
Emigrating from US/Europe
Even if he had gone all in on manufacturing, it’s not like a supply network of industrial goods can be built in a day. Hell, it’s hard to build that in a 4-year term. Trump is virtue signalling while at the same time jeopardizing any chance America had of reshoring.
It’s honestly infuriating me how big projects needed to improve our infrastructure take years and years to complete, when from one administration to the next, those same projects can be cancelled.
It takes multiple presidencies to build something good, and it takes one to tear it all down.
I see now the benefits of China’s 5 year plans with how well organized they can control their economy.
Do you know the origins of that meme?
I thought I had already explained my idea of its origination, but according to Know Your Meme, the “soy” reference started around 2017 when information was hitting the mainstream about how soy contains phytoestrogens (isoflavones) [likely due to the rise in veganism at the time and people pushing for soy-based milk alternatives to cow milk and protein alternatives to meat] and people started to speculate (ignorantly) that consuming more soy makes people more feminine (but particularly less masculine). This may be true, but current it’s plausible due to a lack of sufficient evidence.
Know Your Meme then go on to explain how the term “soy” gets ascribed to a meme, “Soyjack”, and how his effeminate male persona gets compared to the ultimate masculine male persona “Chad”.
I take this meme to mostly refer to how some people in the world are changing their worldviews and behaviors to disform with the traditional patriarchy and order. People are upgrading their morality, whether that means abstaining or advocating for not consuming animals for food, or championing equity and minority rights like women’s, or touting the reality of the climate crisis and how we need to abandon fossil fuels in favor of clean energy.
This is in comparison to an older, narrower point of view that aims to regress worldviews and behaviors to a time when humanity dominated all other species on Earth (since we’re obviously better), neither women nor minorities had societal or individual powers or rights, or coal, natural gas, and oil are the best forms of energy because of how much they’ve contributed to humanity’s advancement.
People who subscribe to a worldview like the latter routinely would call people with the former worldview “soy”.
Are you sure you’re okay with repeating it yourself, even if it’s just meant as a joke?
I am fine using that term myself only towards regressives that abandon their worldviews or fail to practice their beliefs out of cowardice or a lack of conviction specifically because those people claim superiority over progressives. I’d use the term on people who would call others out for being more feminine (i.e. showing compassion, talking things out before forcing people to do things, etc.) but then show those same characteristics themselves, often without them recognizing their hypocrisy.
So, I called Microsoft soy in this case not because they enjoyed relatively progressive policies on human rights for example, but because they regressed on those beliefs by foresaking them and firing one of their employees who acted fully within the policy framework Microsoft themselves had created.
We should not settle with only one side of the societal spectrum name-calling and bullying the other for how they live. All ways of life are acceptable, so long as they don’t impede other’s. Tolerance is not a paradox. It is earned, in trust, as a social contract. If people prove to (routinely) breach that contract, then they deserve no respect in my eyes.
I have no issue with calling people or groups or companies or countries soy in that way.
No, sorry there’s a meme going around online where the English term “soy” (as in soybeans; this term was likely derived from veganism where many vegans drink soy milk instead of cow milk) is being prefixed to nouns or people to denote weakness or just to snark at people, kinda like how people would use snowflake in the past.
I was calling Microsoft “soy” in this way
Soy Microsoft, tbh

The person you’re responding to highlighted some text from the article, pointing to injustice of the regime by believing tattoos automatically = jail.
You said their “bad culture” is the price they pay, implicitly grouping tattoo, zip codes, and looking nervous defined by the previous comment all under “bad culture” of those who do go to jail.
You then gaslight me for pointing out your fascism and disregard for civil liberties by avoiding any correlation with tattoos because you didn’t mention them explicitly.
Every knows what you were talking about bro. The fact you asked this question makes me think you’re a troll with no convictions for attacking modern fascism. Thanks for giving that away so all of us can treat you as such.
