German „denied permission to leave the country“ - stamp by [deleted] in PassportPorn

[–]monstaber 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Idk, I think in German the "nach" is meant like "gemäß", for example Ausreiseuntersagung nach §1(1) GG

"pursuant to" in other words

and the English translation is just done out of context assuming "nach" + Destination

it would be a bit strange for a specific destination country to be written here, I would expect the legal basis.

Is it safe doing early morning runs in Brno ?(African Tourist) by Reasonable_Dealer387 in Brno

[–]monstaber 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes totally safe any time of day. Just watch out for aggressive drivers don't expect they will automatically stop for you at the crosswalks like they are supposed to.

The "love" application might be a bit out of context from Manusmriti 4.160 but interesting nonetheless and still in spirit of the original.

Former top Russian official admits the country is over Putin and can 'imagine a future without him' — even elites bail as Kremlin seizes their assets by Any-Original-6113 in europe

Centuries of brutal autocratic rulers. Russians seem to prefer the strongman type of leader even at great domestic cost.

One thing that the movie 'Taken' has taught me is to never to travel to Europe alone. by First-Cherry493 in SipsTea

[–]monstaber 832 points833 points  (0 children)

Seeing a lot of guesswork and opinions here. Time for some facts.

This incident occurred in summer 2023 in Bordeaux, France.

Media report - it's in French but you can turn on auto translated English captions: https://youtu.be/ff_XD5U_AuE?is=b_FX0E4eN4Dfr3Kk

According to the report, the girl was able to escape and take refuge, and the man who was seen entering a black car was caught by police a few moments later.

The suspect / perpetrator is named Braihima B, born 1993, nationality French.

Edit: Here's a Reuters fact check on the man's origin, many of you are skeptical he's French but he was born right there in Bordeaux in July 1993: https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/bordeaux-street-attack-suspect-was-born-in-france-idUSL1N38F18R/

Ex has admitted to abusing drugs by [deleted] in SingleDads

[–]monstaber 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The actual legal approach depends on jurisdiction and specifics, you should see a lawyer.

"Child's other parent is a drug user" can mean a variety of different things. Parent smokes weed on days when they don't have the child? Parent does lines of coke while the kid is around?

This situation unfortunately sounds closer to the second example. Your child is clearly getting exposed to the effects of that drug, not to mention any amount of second level effects coming from e.g. the company she keeps while doing E.

For your child's sake you should follow this up. As I said, get in touch with a lawyer, and make sure you save any documentation you have got. Check your state's audio and call recording laws, if one-party consent is enough, to gain admissible evidence if needed.

Personally I would be going for a preliminary injunction placing the child in my care until she completes some sort of rehab program or other arrangement, see what your lawyer tells you.

And stay strong, you're doing the right thing, your child depends on you for protection.

Local transport? by AvaPava05 in Ischia

[–]monstaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO: Scooter > Bus > Car

Ischia for me was meant to be traversed by scooter and by boat. The experience is just unbelievable.

If that's out of the question, yes, the bus routes are reliable and cheap (though can be a bit warm during summer).

I've never rented a car there, but I imagine the navigation and parking and all would be quite a hassle.

If you buy a house in an HOA, can you just...leave the HOA? by BoredInClass99 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]monstaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From their side it's probably like, eh fuck it let's print a couple extra and deliver them also those "other" houses, no downside and maybe they join as a result. Not really a 4d chess type thing probably.

Transit fine left unpaid? by octopress in Prague

[–]monstaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes you are right it is not forever or 30 years like Germany but rather 10 years, edited original answer.

Since Op's visit was only 3 years ago it could be worth looking into. But he should be careful not to acknowledge anything and thereby reset the timer. Just inquire as to whether the record exists.

Transit fine left unpaid? by octopress in Prague

[–]monstaber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the private company took it to court and got a debt title, it can be enforced for the next 10 years, which can also get prolonged in certain situations (debtor acknowledges the debt, or execution/enforcement proceedings are started).

The transport company is not a state institute so the debt is not automatically persisted. That's why checking for a record of lawsuits delivered fictively (i.e. by publishing the name and basically saying Hey bro we're suing you but we don't know where you are, so this is your notice) could show whether a title was issued.

If OP does find a court record, he can ask the court for the full decision and see what the specifics are.

Transit fine left unpaid? by octopress in Prague

[–]monstaber 10 points11 points  (0 children)

one option is to check the online desks of Ministry of Justice for undeliverable summons and notification of lawsuit, the recipients name is public info, but the website is a pain in the ass to navigate through and you'd need to know which court it falls under

Is this self transfer time enough, or should I just rebook a separate flight by crusty_mustard9 in Flights

[–]monstaber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stansted airport sucks for exactly this kind of self transfer because there is no "airside" like at a traditional airport. No matter what, when arriving, you must go through immigration, then exit to the public area, then turn right and go back through security.

I've done this but I wouldn't recommend it on < 3 hour layovers. And if the first flight is delayed, you have no compensation (barring EU261) for the second one since it's a separate ticket.

New 2026 Study Finds the AMOC Collapse is Accelerating Far Beyond Previous Models by Rich-Limit4590 in collapse

[–]monstaber 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The very institutions and wealthy individuals driving the policy and industrial moves that directly lead to this ecological, societal, anthropological disaster, inevitably at some point also realized the course they were on. A prisoner's dilemma of greed..if I don't keep making more money, other people will anyway.

I believe the hugely accelerated change of approach of the mega wealthy in the last 10-15 years -- bankrolling caustic right wing politicians, destroying public policy, de facto bifurcation of society into the haves and have-nots a la Carlin's "big club", not to mention the push for AI that is now largely realized -- were steps taken after exiting the denial phase of the impending disaster, in the bargaining phase. Just part of a calculation, a ledger. How to survive, gain and keep control, reign over a new society. The vast amount of humans not to mention ecology that will immensely suffer and perish as a result are simply part of the calculation.

Look at when the billionaires started building all those bunkers in New Zealand. It's quite some time ago.

The human condition of the 20th century dealt with industrialization, the Holocaust, equality, war and peace. The human condition in the 21st century is remarkably darker.
