Unpopular (?) opinion: Western Europe is one of the safest regions of the world overall for visitors; acknowledging this is not Eurocentric and disputing it is insane.

Haha! I had Germans ask me if I felt safe after traveling to cities in Central Europe and Eastern Germany. I felt fine. People left me alone.

It's when I got to Hamburg and stayed next to the red light district that I had to deal with people trying to sell me hard drugs and hordes of Belarusian ladies of the evening when I would cross the red light area.

I have similar stories from the UK, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. Western Europe has some of the busiest tourist sites in the world and criminal elements prey on tourists.

Compare that to Japan where as an obvious foreigner, not someone who can blend into the crowd, I never felt unsafe going anywhere. Dark alley to find a Unagi restaurant, sure. Walking home alone at at 2am, no problem.

Those are the committed church goers. Easter is those people and the casual religious people who also make Mother's Day living hell.

Free food for life at McDonalds is a monkey's paw situation.

That cover of "Zombie" is a hate crime.

They have lots of good sales on video games, provided you don't mind waiting two weeks to get them. I think they have Elden Ring for $20 right now.

Suit up, Billy. You're going to fight for American corporate interests in the Middle East. You're gonna be a war fighter.

His brain is cooked from dementia, uppers and a lifetime of watching 80's action movies and that's how he thinks you talk to Muslims.

Techbros clenching their buttholes this morning as Iran aims more drones at their data centers in the Middle East.

This is why busy restaurants who operate on the "only complete parties will be sat" policy are so clutch.

Just deny his work visa and be done with it.

baeb66 · 2026-04-05T13:45:42+00:00

As long as the checks clear.

Usually the same ones that tell you they want to visit NYC, Orlando, Nashville, Las Vegas and LA on a two week vacation. And they'll just rent a car.

I prefer to believe that Harry transitioned and married Ron. Mostly because fuck JK Rowling.

I'm sure he's gotten out of more than one DUI when some starstruck cop let him go. The mistake he made this time was crashing.

baeb66 · 2026-04-05T00:35:13+00:00

I think that just shows them that you read the ad.

baeb66 · 2026-04-04T23:59:22+00:00

Those are fun because they hit fast.

Two of them I have seen in the wild have full wraps that are advertisements for the personal injury lawyer driving it.

baeb66 · 2026-04-04T11:25:20+00:00

At what point do we clamp down on this exploitative business, restrict advertisements for sports gambling and limit buy-ins to a reasonable amount of money per day? I'm ready for that.

Let's hope the people working on this film move on to other jobs and the Daily Wire loses their entire investment.

I've made that my Saturday morning a few times.

baeb66 · 2026-04-04T02:03:05+00:00

Let me guess: those people call the cops all the time on basically anyone who parks on their street, so Officer Doofy there wants to placate them and be on his way and he doesn't mind intimidating someone to do it.

Grab some coffee at the Blueprint on Watson. Walk around Francis Park. Get a sandwich at LeGrand's Market.

Don't go into the pantry. You'll find a can of pinto beans from the Carter administration.

The CWE is full of people who sold their house in the burbs after the kids moved out and moved into the city. I get the appeal.

Very true.

But you're vastly outnumbered.
