Why the f is a passport office concerned with a trademark. It is a name of a child… it does not infringe.

Nice!

Depends on the country, but you will have to check with country B what form requirements they have for you to prove you did it.

Does verbal diarrhea count?

Oooohhh… nice… this makes sense.

Well have you seen some of the catacombs we do have. Skull piles, bone art, all pretty metal right there too. But not a skyscraper metal.

“Don’t worry I’ll keep your baby safe” said the Dingo.

Anyone say mimosas?

I’m convinced the culture war is another trick used to decide the plebs.

Hey I have been rooting for Bernie from the sidelines for decades.

Yes, that is how it works. Their electorate chose Biden so they run that candidate. And that also means circling the wagons around him.

I just hope all the disillusioned people still vote for him, as the rest of the world cannot handle another trump term. Trump exemplifies a lot of what is wrong with the world, and we don’t need another 4 years of a loudmouth, lying, traitorous wannabe dictator who will show the world how he can cozy up and embolden actual dictators and take the reigns of big corporations to continue to rape the planet for profit. That is just too bad of an example.

Cheap - fast - good… Pick 2

I’ll bet of you where to lookup former classmates a consistent pattern of bullying would be shown.

This kind of abuse of the legislature should be fined. What the fuck.

But for that you can also wear protective clothing, no?

You can also get a more comfortable softer riding saddle instead of a hard racing one. It really depends on the bike.

For rain and stuff in the Netherlands (we have some rain) you can get a rain suit I causing pants you can just wear over your normal clothes to work.

Make sure the rain suit has reflector strips or patches… your lighting and reflectors are key in Beiing seen.

Depending on the commute distance getting an Ebike helps keep your speed up without becoming massively sweaty. You can still exercise but you do it at a steady 25kph.

For groceries you can get cargo bags for on the back of the bike. Depending on the type you get they can store a lot.

Listening to music… put in one earbud only and have the volume low. But in the Netherlands we have mostly separate bike infra (protected bikebanes and such) so this might still be dangerous if there is no good bike infra.

Lastly, you can choose other routes that would normally not work by car. If you find a cut through somewhere, you maybe can avoid the dangerous stroads all together.

Wanted to reply to OP. Moving my post.

Hehehe… it should be tankies and indeed my dutch autocorrect did that… and it also works. So I’ll leave it.

I’d argue it is not really left wing. Or maybe not JUST left wing. Sure these people have some left ideas, but that is not all, and for sure is not the most important.

This is what the word “Tankie” refers to.

They (tankjes) go out of their way to argue for totalitarian governments and dictators. As it it is some kind of fetish.

They deny the wrong doing of countries like Iran, china, Russia and other totalitarian states as if all the wrongdoing by these countries actually are not real and just some big plot by the evil western propaganda machine.

They deny tainnamen square massacre, maidan is a cia coup, Iran is actually not that bad… the list is endless.

They are worshippers at the altar of totalitarianism, the trump supporters but then for people like Putin, khameini, xi. Tankjes cheer on countries like north Korea while it starves it’s citizens, deflect human rights issues in Iran with whatabout … Saudirabia, muricah, etc… Tankjes believe Hamas are fighters for the people, chant “from the river to the sea” while with the same breath saying it is all the wests own fault, Jews caused it all themselves… You know, the abusers credo… “Look what you made me do”.

Please don’t construe any of my above remarks as saying “west good, west blameless”.

But that is my opinion. Left wing is not a feature of what is going on on these instances. It is just noise between the vitriol.

My advice, block Hexbear, lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml on instance level. And if you come across one of their loons arguing the above point, block the user and move on. Nothing of value is gained by engaging these Trolls that spread misery across the internet.
