I don’t remember doing an interview for my L visa. Just brought in the passport, had biometrics taken, and came back a few days later to pick it up.

Getting to that stage was annoying, I had to resubmit the application online like 6 times before they ran out of nitpicks to complain about.

Wait you don’t put the beans on the toast?

For tourist visas? Which countries? I’ve never had to do one, and people I talk to only had to do similar things for Japan. Though admittedly I’ve only had to actually fill out a handful of visa applications because US passport is absurdly strong.

Not just the athletes, thousands will be travelling to America to watch the soccer games. I’ve helped a couple people navigate applying for a tourist visa, its kinda insane how expensive and needlessly time-consuming it is. You have to go to the US embassy for an in-person interview.

Its so sad when you return to a tiktok account you haven’t seen since 2020, and its 4 years of doing the same bit once a week.

Wtf we have phishing on the fedverse nkw?

There’s definitely rural areas nobody goes to or leaves where nobody has met an Asian, but they’ll have seen them on TV, it shouldn’t be too shocking.

Isn’t he supposed to be in prison?

Ever been to a country where motorbikes are just a normal form of transport, for both 16 year old race boy and 75 year old great grandma?

So part of the reason for that is .ml and hexbear are pretty much the only instances blocked by the great firewall. So .ml users who go to China can either jump instances or use a vpn/hk-based esim to post.

Idk… am I supposed to like people that believes its for the greater good for me to have been aborted because “bUt tHe oVeRpOpUlAtIoN”…?

I’m pretty sure (or hope) that antinatalist ecofascist horseshit will get you banned from any leftist instance, nobody thinks the 1 child policy was anything except a mistake based off some liberal neomalthusulan horseshit.

try watching porn in China… (porn is illegal)

I’ve done that lol just use a vpn. Probably a quarter of my xhs is thirst content

So they have a system where towns are appointed a mayor who gets changed out every 5 years. The mayor is then graded on things like education, economy, popularity, and how many veggies the village ate.

The purpose of this is to prevent local fiefdoms from developing and to quickly identify and remove underperforming leaders.

This has the effect of people appealing to the provincial government to either keep or remove candidates who are exceptionally good or bad.

Yugoslavia’s computer industry is also interesting. People were encouraged to build computers from off-the-shelf parts and schematics in magazines.

Computer programs were broadcast on radio, so you could hold a tape recorder up to the radio when the program was being broadcast, then plug it into your home-made PC and run the program.

The group that’s most at risk due to bad road conditions, motorcycles, did nothing to deserve this.

So if if a 400 lb motorbike costs 1 penny per mile in road damage, the 4000 lb SUV should be paying 60 bucks and the 40,000 lb tractor trailer 1 million dollars?

Or is it divided by contact area?

What kind of camera?

Yes, they both should be in prison.

Or at all

Socialism is defined by opposition to capitalism, if you don’t support eventually moving beyond Capitalism, you’re definitionally a liberal.

That’s not unattractive. I was waiting until after things calmed down to visit, but maybe I head over earlier.

Weather is getting a bit warm though, will the position still be open in 6 months or so?

What kind of position are you talking about?
