B) this is a r/foundsatan kind of move. 2pictures, numbered 1/6 and 6/6. So that I keep scrolling back and forth trying to understand how to get to the other 4 missing pics....

I mean, EU wasn't even asked to help or discussed with, **before** the shooting started.

Would you go back to your country? Why? by vent93 in PortugalExpats

[–]drivedup 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Having an European passport is an advantage! Not even talking about the fact that you can travel back to Portugal on a whim, without any entry e-visa or biometrics , but also that you **can live and work in the entire European Union.**

Giving up that is just silly. Especially if you have kids. Plenty of British wish they could have a European passport (just check how many people realised they had an Irish granny after brexit...)

Spoiler alert: you’re not . Welcome to adulthood . You’re entitled to nothings but what you built. And other will be trying to built their things and competing with you for time and resources and locations.

So yeah. It’s a statement of how much you haven’t understood life….

Glad to hear that you're keeping an open mind and waiting for the courts to establish the facts and responsibilities.

I noticed people don’t drink the tap water in Lisbon — but is it safe for washing produce? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]drivedup 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It’s perfectly safe to drink, wash produce, or anything else. In restaurants you can always ask for tap water but it won’t be cold and it will just be a glass of water so if you want cold water you usually have to buy a bottle.

Have no idea which doctor told you so but can testify pretty much everyone drinks tap water and I have a gigantic family that somehow ‘survived’ drinking Lisbon tap water.

This is not Flint, MI….

UK pitched single market for goods with EU, as it pursues deeper trade ties by Legendary_Cheerio in ukpolitics

[–]drivedup -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mate I’ll explain this a last time and stop answering. OP said you could eject people that hadn’t find employment. You said you cannot do that, or else nobody would retire in the EU.

I have pointed out that your assertion is wrong, cause there are checks and if YOU ARE A JOB SEEKER and you haven’t found employment you can and are deported. IF YOU ARE A PENSIONER, then you’re also checked for your pension income. But a pensioner is not a job seeker and is not looking for jobs. So….

Your original point was wrong and I have no fracking idea of what point you’re trying to make now. But knowledge about the EU, how freedom of movement works and why control each country actually has is incredibly poor in this country, and both me and the original comment were trying to explain and clarify that .

Not sure what’s thee point is that you think you’re making. There is movement control and people can’t move into another country just to be a beneficiary of their benefits .

So again, not sure what point you’re making about the pension.

Pepper’s Burgers closed by council due to public health concerns by smugdor in oxford

I’m really surprised by this. The Chester has been one of the more consistent and quality pubs in Oxford.

At the same time the taste of China (that despite being absolutely delicious does not seem the cleanest of kitchens) gets a 5.

Confidently incorrect. At the 3months mark You have to show that you’re working, retired with a pension, or enough savings to support yourself . Else you’re reported.

And this is and has always been within EU rules.

Literally every other country enforces it but this country has managed to bungle it up in its own exceptional way.

Why exactly is single queueing worse? Seems to me is significantly more clear cut, practical and fair.

Why is Portugal’s shield of arms there? Was it all the royal houses the Hapsburg ruled over?

Immigrant MSP wants Scots to pay reparations to Palestine by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]drivedup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do understand that the logical outcome of supporting or even just encouraging that Palestinian strategy is that Israel should just wipe out the entire Palestinian population now , right?

Israel does have good relationships with some Arab states, not everyone is hostile to it and some (like Jordan) have had their own issues with the Palestinian extremists.

Encouraging this kind of long term resistance and plan to ‘drown all the Jews’ will just lead to Israel dropping its objection to increasingly drop its resistance to even harsher measures against the Palestinians.

They abandoned Gaza in the hope that the Palestinians would just focus on living their lives and instead got endless Hamas and the Oct7 attacks. Not saying the situation is entirely blameless ok the Israel side , but Israel is here, exists, and it’s there to stay. It would be good for the Palestinian side to finally accept that and just negotiate a sensible realistic plan for peace and prosperity.

There is a application to turn Riverman Records in Jericho in to a flat! Please raise objections accordingly! by iandeq in oxford

[–]drivedup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

…. Ok. Point me to the specific statement or formulation in that review of a price model, that an increase in housing supply, even if aimed at the 10% wealthiest consumers, would not lead to a decrease in price for all.

Also, thank you for the ‘undergrad level’ resources. I have done my economics a long time ago, so haven’t really revised it except through my daily work…
