understandable anxiety but you should be fine. their main goal is to direct you towards resources to help you find a job, not punish you for bureaucratic trivialities.

Do they track down every place I tried to fill out an application for?

certainly not, at most it will be a small random sample. and my guess is if it's your first time and you're turning in your forms on time you'll barely be scrutinized. obviously i'm not recommending any fraud, but if you're putting in any effort and honestly reporting i doubt you'll get audited.

what are you worried about?

the arms on @Lumalo@hexbear.net's l's broke off when he joined and they were rattling around in the servers for a few days until they got stuck in the deliberalator and the whole site crashed, the admins had to crawl in and get them out

theiss-explanation what i'm saying is that by holding us to certain evidentiary standards there was no way we could possibly prove any of this

you seem lost, so i'll explain:

the governments they overthrew were compradors selling out their own people for some scraps from their french neocolonial overlords. the lands of niger, mali, and burkina faso are rich in gold, uranium, oil, and diamonds, and yet the people have lived like slaves. force was clearly justified if the previous governments were unwilling to cede power peacefully. they were suspended from ecowas at the obvious behest of france and the u.s., countries notable for their willingness (and outright glee) in using or abetting violence to effect regime change whenever it suits their own interests. let's not pretend that the suspension was because of the coups, it was because the coup leaders are not obedient dogs of the empire.

the win here is that they're formalizing and solidifying an alliance against western imperialist theft of their natural resources and labor.

Yeonmi Water-Park

kitty-birthday-sad dammit i should've seen that one, i will assign myself 3 extra turns pushing the bumper cars

france and the u.s. have been withdrawing from their bases there. after they couldn't goad ghana and nigeria into a preemptive guardianship of free and fair elections it became clear they'd at least need to beat a tactical withdrawal from their democracy efforts.
