Deep Rock Galactic Survivor a lot. Got it on sale for like $7 and got quite a few hours. My husband and I love roguelites.

But overall CBP looks at funds. If someone can’t afford their stay, they become suspicious.

EDIT: Adding, they ask how much people intend to spend or call banks to verify

I don’t think it is common. I just know it happens.

The process looks like this..

Sort of a good example because it happens to be a traveler going into the United States for vacation, 5 weeks, 1.5k cash, but still denied entry. They always ask for purpose of entry, what itinery looks like, funds, etc.

There’s tons of backpackers, as a one bagger myself, I’ve never had trouble. I think its when you may have limited/no accommodations plus other factors: stories not lining up, limited funds, no/limited knowledge of itinerary, etc. That gets people in trouble. I think most people know where they are going, what for, and how they are going to do it.

Even as a US citizen I’m happy I’m not traveling internationally for a while though. Seems most people are free game regardless to CBP, citizen or not 🤮

I was responding to the original comment above : “Having not fully booked your accommodation for the entire trip could get you denied entry to the US before Trump. Just saying. Especially if you aren’t white. Same with not having an outbound ticket.”

Not to the strip searching, abuse, etc.

I agree it is absolutely heinous what is happening in the US and I wouldnt travel here either but the process of denying entry for a combination of limited/no accommodations, limited funds, varying answers, etc does lead to denial of entry in some countries.

It’s not the only thing. It’s a combination of limited/no living accommodations and no income. If you don’t have the income to stay for 5 weeks for example, they will send you back.I’m talking like going to Australia or US with just $500 or something for 5 weeks. I can cite some episodes when I get off work today and you can see the process.

This. It also gets you denied in Australia and other countries. This is non-news.

Deep Rock Survivors and The Binding of Isaac Rebirth

This. And clogs. I wouldnt get any perforated or open back crocs. If you hurt yourself on those types of crocs, workers comp won’t cover.

A lot of people I work with have them and love them, especially the newer Google Folds and Samsung ones. Multitasking is great on it and the quality doesn’t seem bad. These newer flip or fold options have gone a long way in quality over the past few years. If I could afford I would love one but I really don’t value phones that much.

I reconnected with a middle school friend the other day. I was so happy to see her and meet her family. We grew up in white suburbs and I felt like a super loner. I was one of only Asians in community, shy, and awkward. My parents weren’t as wealthy as everyone else. She would invite and include me all the time in things. It really helped me build my confidence and I think of those times fondly. We weren’t super close friends or anything but those invites meant the world to me and I was reminded of that when we reconnected over 15 years apart.

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach

The Country of the Blind - Andrew Leland

The Underworld: Journey to the Depths of the Ocean - Susan Casey

Some of my favorites and in that order. They are not biographies and are about different non fiction topics.

Enjoy!!

I unfortunately believe it may play some role too for some voters. There are Americans who still embrace their cultures, where there is an emphasis more on men being in charge. Think of some middle eastern cultures for example. And of course, there’s the sexists.

Sad reality also is there is a lot of racism still within our country…

Laid on Peacock was light. I enjoyed it. Man on the Inside on Netflix was also cute.

Movies… Yes, God, Yes was cringy funny. Croods 2 if you can find it is amazing!!

Listening to Project Hail Mary. I’ve been utterly absorbed by the story and the scientific concepts being pushed around.

I never took physics and didn’t take much math for my job but am jealous of people who have a natural, stronger affinity for those subjects

Wicked - Like the movie more than play so far Laid - Great comedic relief ATM. Next Level Chef

Lately its been The Economics of Everyday Things because they are super short but interesting.

However, True Crime: In the Dark Healthcare Policy: What the Health Other Interesting: If Books Can Kill
