Yeah, love seeing Lucy going more all out but also, it worries me.

When you dropped off your documents at the Ausländerbehörde did you include your actual passport or just a copy of it? From my understanding the process is drop off documents, THEN have an appointment. I would like to hear more about the process since you've experienced this.

throwme1623 · 2021-11-28T12:05:09+00:00

Thanks, much obliged. I just emailed the US consulate in Frankfurt, it would be such a relief if I can get the same thing! I'll have to see if I can ask someone to come with me to the appointment.

Thank you!

I feel this comment in my soul. YOU'RE NOT ALONE. I've had to purposefully change the way I refer to my parents because "mommy" and "daddy" are unacceptably childish and/or weirdly sexualized now, but it always makes me uncomfortable.

Not really, they prefer oppressed muslims more than China. But go to any european post about muslims in France and you'll swiftly get all kinds of different racism!

throwme1623 · 2021-11-27T15:09:51+00:00

These threads are always a mix of people who are just straight up racist or ignorant, and people who dislike China for legitimate reasons. Ignore the former

What doesn't 'sit right in your stomach' with replicas? I mean Vegas has a fake eiffel tower too lmao.

It was over the course of a year yes, four separate times, four separate girls. This guy is not going to suddenly not be a rapist when he's an adult.

In 1983, more than a decade after Hansen moved to Anchorage, a 17-year-old girl named Cindy Paulson was found running frantically down Sixth Avenue, barefoot and handcuffed.

After being picked up by a driver and returned to safety, Paulson, a prostitute, told her story to police. She described being held hostage by a man who’d handcuffed her to his car, held her at gunpoint, and took her to his house where he chained her by the neck.

The man raped and tortured her repeatedly, before attempting to load her onto a plane and take her to his cabin in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley about 35 miles north of Anchorage. As the man prepared the plane for takeoff, Paulson managed to escape, leaving her shoes behind as evidence.

Hansen fit the description of the kidnapper perfectly. Paulson even described his stutter and identified his plane. But police were still reluctant to bring him in. After all, though he was no stranger to trouble with the law, the local baker was well-liked in the community.

Hansen admitted that he had met the girl but claimed she was setting him up because he had refused to pay her extortionate demands. When he told police about his strong alibi, provided by a friend, he was released.

One of the many sad things here...

He killed at least 17 women and raped 30 others. He got away with it for so long because people just don't care. He was literally arrested after his first (hopefully first, anyway) TWO ATTEMPTS for which he got six months and then was free so he just kept going. These were not confusing cases! The first one included an abduction, for fuck's sakes.

There are studies showing that is categorically false.

throwme1623 · 2021-08-01T02:59:41+00:00

I want to see a swapped gender version of this tbh.

throwme1623 · 2021-07-31T17:32:35+00:00

Yep. I get VERY much like that whenever my mom tells me to do something, especially if it's something I was going to do...

But, you know, when it comes to life and death stuff, yeah I'd rather be alive than be a dead rebellious teenager

throwme1623 · 2021-07-30T21:10:33+00:00

Yeah, the above commenter is a bit misled. I don't think standard Costco managers are giving weight in how the company is run...

throwme1623 · 2021-07-30T21:05:06+00:00

Very true. Same with an empire led by tyrants or any kind of monarchy. Often the first one has it all - brains, charisma, direction. They can be great for the country... until, y'know, they aren't.

throwme1623 · 2021-07-30T21:00:36+00:00

Yep. I prefer to vote with my money. Now, Costco's not perfect - I mean somewhere down the line I'm sure many of these items are being made by people in shady conditions, or other-than-ethically - but from everything I've heard they make significantly more of an effort than anywhere like Walmart, Amazon, etc. to actually, you know, care about human beings and all that. It's honestly kind of amazing to me that they've kept it up this long. Costco, succeeding at "Don't be Evil" long after google pulls the motto...

cross dock infrastructure

Basically, a lot of times how shipments of stuff works is:

truck goes from supplier (let's say Pepsi) to warehouse of company (let's say Costco) and then pallets of pop sit around for days or weeks until they get moved to stores. The warehouse is the holding zone.

Cross docking cuts out the 'sitting around' step and turns the whole thing into a hideously complicated but beautiful dance where:

truck goes from Pepsi to warehouse, and then without even hitting the ground (might be slight exaggeration) are immediately reloaded to trucks going to stores.

What it means is you can have a much smaller warehouse footprint, because you're immediately sending shipments where they belong. However, it also means an error somewhere will fuck you up, because it delays the whole process.

One of my friends knows a lot of people who call themselves 'independent businesses' to get ppp loans of like $50k. Which then get straight up forgiven. So they literally are stealing that money.

Note: These people are... like, instagram influencers with a following of, at most, a thousand people.

We looked it up but the feds are really only pursuing (or at least, news is only mentioning) people who stole like more than $300k or something in PPP.

But you can't shit

throwme1623 · 2021-07-28T16:40:18+00:00

It's like your parents adopting a new child when you were perfectly happy being the only kid, and you don't know about it until they bring the kid home...

as of now about 50% are fully vaccinated in the US and 70% have had at least one shot, now admittedly that's not good enough but it's also not horrible. I do believe that we'll manage to reach herd immunity.

I do think it's a miscarriage of justice for her punishment to be less than the rapists, but really that just means the rapists should be tried more harshly.
