I’m saying no because it’s false.

1-First, I seriously doubt your actual IT skills. Do you even know what an RDBMS or an SQL query is? 2-Regardless, whether generative AI is used or not, US immigration services can tap into their databases and calculate some kind of scoring, similar to a credit score.

Hey folks,

I’m not a forum mod, but let’s be real—this place isn’t exactly buzzing right now (hope it picks up soon!!!), so let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot with discussions that might just drive away the few posters we’ve got left. Don’t you think?...

Sweet travel dreams to you all, Caussat

Hey folks,

I’m not a forum mod, but given that this place isn’t exactly buzzing with activity right now (fingers crossed it picks up again!!!), let’s not shoot ourselves in the foot with discussions that might just drive away the few members we’ve got left. Don’t you think?...

Plus, this whole social media thing is still just a proposal, so it’s a bit early for drama 😉

Hello,

You’re absolutely right to point out that this is just an announcement, a project, a political statement, and that, by the way, this whole "historic" claim doesn’t really hold up and isn’t very credible to informed minds. That said, where I disagree with you is on the idea of only talking about it when it’s too late; giving it reasonable coverage and sparking media—and then political—reaction isn’t the same as stirring up controversy.

Yeah, you're right, and anyway, the price increase won't stop me from going back to the US. I'm taking a break this year, but I had already planned this break before the decision to raise the pass price. Let's just say the current context convinced me not to go in 2026. But I didn’t say I wouldn’t go back. 😉

+10000! ...

All these constant arguments are exhausting.

Regarding the history feature, on one hand, it's still just a project. And on the other hand, even though it's been optional up to now, I've always filled in my networks before. Just because I'm just a tiny speck in the universe, and I think everyone really couldn't care less about my life!...

We need to keep things in perspective!... 😉

You should still pay attention to the measures the U.S. government is taking. The difference from the French mentality is that if the U.S. government decides to revoke a certain number of visas, it does so.

Often in a brutal way. Same goes for deporting migrants who don’t have a work permit allowing them to work in the U.S.

Hi everyone,

Yeah, that’s a steep increase, but everything’s gotten extremely expensive in the US. They love money—it’s nothing new, but now it’s reaching new heights for everything (housing, food, etc.).

Still, you’ve got to compare the Louvre at 32 € vs. $35 for the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum in Seattle in 2024—that’s $70 for two for a visit that barely lasts an hour. So we ended up skipping the Museum of Pop Culture! 😅
