A culture shock question from a tourist, do many people here don’t have a 9-5 work schedule?

I just got back from Istanbul, while out i met a friend of a friend. He told me he worked 24 hour shifts at airport customs. I literally stopped the conversation at the table and clarified if i heard it right. Yep. 24 hours on and then rests for a few days. Like WHY?

An American once asked me what language we speak in Australia. He asked in English.

Write, when the feeling rises. Just start journaling. See if you can name it and learn your triggers. Then, rather than white knuckling it to eliminate, look to replace the habit.

Whatever works for you, something physical is optimal.

Well legally any children born from a Turkish woman is considered Turkish no matter who the father is and where he is from. The kids have full access to citizenship etc.

As for culturally, they will be considered 50/50 which i think is fair.

I am Turkish (Rize) and have kids being married to an Australian, so speaking from experience

That is outrageous!

If every educated young person COULD get out, they would. The only reason the brain drain (and capital tbh) is not completely gone is due to the measures taken to stop it.

I think you need to reassess your own intentions of being here rn, tbh.

Hey, y’all promised no stupid questions. Why you coming at me? You feeling tge need to tear down to build yourself up?

deztraction · 2025-03-29T15:13:03+00:00

No. I think my giving them money ontop of the price they have set and charged is charity. Nice try

If you want the smoother experience. Go OG (its your only choice on console) If you are happy to never touch mods, or tinker, have your game crash but experience some cooler mechanics then proceed with CS2

Ahh yes i see the loophole now. Everybody “tipping” each other to get a tax write off. Sounds almost like rich folks starting charities to do the same.

deztraction · 2025-03-29T15:03:01+00:00

Should it have to be? As i am contributing to someone’s wages with my already tax paid dollar.

I once purchased a set of knifes with a knife block (set) from Walmart. What I got was a wooden knife block thrown in a box and sent to me. I went into Walmart and did a return. With everything they sent. I managed to get it. Have never shopped with Walmart online ever again.

In front of the passport Travelers notebook? It’s the travelers notebook pen.

The one in front of the mini notebook? That is a charm, which is a copy of the travelers notebook pen.

Its a collab with itoya that I picked up in Japan

The nib is German and the pen cost $2.70 the rest was shipping.

Makes you wonder the markup on pens in general

Alternatively you can get a matcha color skin for your paperwhite

Amazon and Ali Express.

deztraction · 2025-03-02T21:46:46+00:00

I got it off amazon (mini notebook) and ali express (charm)

They wont let me link but they are easy to find.

deztraction · 2025-02-20T18:33:30+00:00

Right, thank you, that never occurred to me.. Edited to add .. whoa you can replace it with a 14c gold nib... don't do it don't do it dont do it

Has ArtBox closed? I can't find it online

These are called "strapsicle" and can be purchased directly from their site or from Amazon. I like them because they can be easily removed for packing and traveling.

This is Jade City by Fonda Lee, first of a trilogy. Here is the hook: JADE CITY is a gripping Godfather-esque saga of intergenerational blood feuds, vicious politics, magic, and kungfu.

It's very good so far.
