They're deporting us to concentration camps, not countries. They absolutely aren't determining where you should go. Alligator Auschwitz, CECOT, the one they're building in Guantanamo... It's not a free ticket to another country and freedom. It's a long road to death.

Reason, sure. Ability? That's something else. Most of us don't have enough money to make the journey. I don't know of many places that would even accept us as immigrants without a substantial monetary value/donation or work skill, plus the language skills we don't have because schools don't teach foreign languages well or at all.

Who would even have us all?

Tomatoes are awesome this way, and why they're so easy to grow. Even without bees. A stiff breeze is enough to make them pollinate. Perfect bisexual.

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their kickbacks dissolving!

There's definitely two different dialects now, from the Oklahoma Cherokee and North Carolina Cherokee. That's simply from the difference between the two. For instance, in the Cherokee Nation, we say "Osiyo" as a greeting, but the Eastern Band of Cherokee say "Siyo". It's still written the same way, but it's an interesting way to see language change in such a recent time (the trail of tears was 1831). Kind of like Spanish in Mexico vs Chile or Spain.

The language itself is very old (an Iroquoian language base), but the syllabary was created in 1821.

Demotic, not demonic. Demotic is simplified Egyptian used by every day people there at the time. Typically, only the priests used the form of hieroglyphs we'd see on tombs. "Demotic" means colloquial, or common, speech.

Is the bee ok?

You're the one that brought up "unexpectedly". This is on you, buddy. You're not arguing in good faith, so whatever next smarmy thing you say will be the last word. Enjoy.

An unexpected kiss is a far cry from unexpected genitalia. Are you trying to equate "sudden tacos" to "sudden penis" just because of the word sudden? Of course not. Cmon, use some common sense.

Also, this isn't out of character for him based on the many stories he's already had come out.

The context is "suddenly".

Doesn't sound anything like Aziz Ansari's bad date that was overblown.

That's too real. I don't like it. Describing a hellish world of AI anti-choice, then at the end revealing that most of us will just be in labor camps instead. Damn. I'd tell you to write that into a book, but I don't think there's a happy ending there.

He did likely make off with all of our previously government-only information, though. He'll feed it through grok to try to catch up, and be shocked when Russia or whoever steals it.

So he's got that going for him.
