Goons Are Great posted:Yeah not having the right ticket equals not having a ticket at all which is fined everywhere with a fixed amount of money and by law it is a sort of fraud which if you piss the train company off too much they can legally turn in to the police and enforce you paying big money or go to prison, while also making you vulnerable to civil litigation additionally to the criminal persecution you are facing I paid the fine. Fortunately I had cash on hand. I just much prefer the system here. |

That's the best way to do it, too, there was a big story on the Germany thread of d&d like three or four years ago about an American soldier who refuses to pay up and he was like lol I'm just an American you can't hurt me anyways gently caress you and after a grand total of six years he got stationed here in Germany again and had to face tens of thousands of euros in fines, had multiple trials up his butt and ended up being unable to rent a home, get a phone or any kind of contract at all here because if you gently caress up your paperwork here, the German bureaucracy is coming for you and you will be sorry at some point

In the pub there were carvings up on the uh joists I guess of one guy mooning these other two guys across the room. Apparently, the two guys were town officials and the mooner was the brewery owner who had some trouble with the officials getting the place zoned and built or whatever. |

I mean I've lived here all my life and I can tell you it's not a joke that you can rely on the officials here, no matter what it is, if the state has something to do with it, it will happen somehow and like it's a 80% socialism thing here anyways so you can't escape the grasp of the government they even make movies

In Philadelphia the rule for public transportation was that if you are not actively masturbating, making GBS threads, or stabbing someone, in a way that annoys the conductor personally, you're all good.

HW, I for one will commit to posting as much stupid bullshit as possible, so you can reload and find some new thing to read here, in order to somewhat feed your hunger for updates. I'm in turn going to need the rest of you do help me out in the same way for the next five to sixty years: I think we're in for the mother of all shitstorms. Thanks in advance. |

So there's this Spotted Towhee who I think is trying to establish ownership of the lilac tree outside the bedroom window. The window is now coated with dried up bird fluids from him furiously attacking it, probably the same way he furiously attacks any other bird that gets anywhere close to the lilac bush. He must think there's this real rear end in a top hat spotted towhee in the lilac tree just on the other side of that weird forcefield, but he's not going to let mystic barriers deter him. It's real annoying, since I have to work in the bedroom now. I've started throwing socks at the window to try to get him to knock it off. I don't think it's doing much. |

Work just asked everybody to prepare to work from home 100% again, because they might evacuate due to an incoming wildfire. If we have to evacuate our house, we're going up to Portland to hang out with my sister in law, which should be a lot of fun

Anyway we are well prepared for this one, gigantic town-threatening fires have become a pretty common thing in the last 10 years. Didn't mean to get everybody all concerned. From my perspective, this means maybe I don't have to go in to the office for a day a week because some stupid manager thinks that's helpful, and as a bonus, I get to hang out with my cool sister-in-law! |

I hope you're safe. I just find it very funny that my mom always freaks out about any natural disasters that occur anywhere in the general vicinity me or my brothers. Or of it's somewhere we're planning on going to. Or a place we go to semi regular. Or have been before. Meanwhile she lives in Santa Fe and is like "Yeah there are wildfires to the north, west, and east of town so it's been pretty smoky." |
