isn't the whole thing in the quran about not cutting your hair? it doesnt say you need to grow a beard, just that you cant shave it off.

Step one is to get an inspection if you're interested in keeping the home. If you'd like to do something else with the property, like convert it into some townhouses, then skip the inspection and rent an excavator.

And that's why you buy your pillow in the netherlands

also, yelling at tourists instead of petitioning the government, which created the conditions for overtourism, is so stupid. every complaint I hear about tourists could easily have been solved by better planning from the city.

Most of it seems to stem from Airbnb, which the government has the power to regulate, and they actively choose not to. Put a cap on short-term rentals, or even ban it like we did where I'm from (british columbia, canada). having any homeowner be able to suddenly add an uncontrollable supply of short-term accommodation means that the number of places for tourists to stay does not stay stay in line with the actual capacity of the city.

Too many tourists renting cars and making traffic worse? Raise taxes on car rentals or improve your public transit so that fewer people drive through the city.

If your city is suffering from overtourism, petition your government before you start spraying people on vacation with water guns.

No, but you should probably just do your job rather than go on your phone. Don't make the excuse that other people do it, that doesn't matter. And I don't believe there's "nothing to do". When was the last time the keg fridge was cleaned? Could the windows use some windex? Is your bar station cleaned? Is everything stocked for the next bartender? Do you have any customers at the bar that you could chat with?

iconic landmark shouldnt take much thinking

Indigenous people exist in modern society, incredibly fucking racist of you to say otherwise.

Building roads and cities the way we do in Canada is unsustainable. Places like The Netherlands are far better for this, and ecoducts are incredibly common there.

I am also talking about Earth in the year 2024. Humans are not invasive. We come from this planet and have evolved with nature for a very long time. Do not take a region like BC that has been human inhabited for thousands of years, where humans have played crucial roles in keeping the ecosystem balanced, and then claim humans are all invasive. if you want to say that modern, post industrialized way of life isnt sustainable, thats fine, but dont just claim humans are invasive.

indigenous people did none of that, nor is it inherently "anti nature" to build cities and roads. there are sustainable and unsustainable ways of living, and the indigenous people who lived here before europians lived sustainably and supported nature. the fact that you read my reply where i already made this point and decided to double down is sad.

dont project your bullshit consumerist way of life on others, especially not indigenous people who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries.

no, they're not. if that were true, "indigenous people" wouldn't mean anything. humans are a part of nature and always have been, in fact we have been a keystone species for centuries. indigenous people have helped maintain the balance of ecosystems for a very long time, and calling them invasive is just ignorant and an insult to the work they've done in managing populations and stabilizing ecosystems.

im a full grown adult and i catch them, does that count?

i am canadian and havent driven in germamy yet, but in Canada the answer would definitely be red. you're turning from the left lane, so you should go into the left lane. there is less interference with cars turning right from the other side this way. it may be that both lanes are allowed, but red is definitely a safer choice than blue.

ah ok well thats too bad that you can't get it through descent. as a canadian though, you do qualify for a youth mobility visa which you can do in toronto, or you can just move to germany, register your address there, and apply at the nearest foreigners office (this is the way im doing it). although doing it my way, you won't be able to start working until you get your visa, so it may be better to apply in canada.

german citizenship law will let you become a citizen after 5 years of living there, but you can do it in 3 years if you can show high level of integration. you might be able to do this given your background.

good luck!

absolute dictatorships are always "safe" countries. my right wing grandparents in brazil are always looking back to the nostalgic military dictatorship days where there was less crime but the police would still shoot you for being outside past curfew.

cubans all rely on gray market jobs that are technically illegal. cubas quality of life has also improved recently due to mass privatization of several industries.

socialized healthcare is pretty common everywhere, so comparing it just to the USA says more about the USA than it does about Cuba.

the only way i was comparing cuba to NK btw was the fact that the gray market is how most people make money, and that the communist governments put up with it because even they acknowledge their communist system alone will cause everyone to starve.

despite what american propaganda may make you believe, the average north korean does not in fact live in abject poverty and eat rats to survive, or get dragged down the street for minor offenses. yes, north korea has a brutal dictatorship, but for the most part, north koreans work gray market jobs to earn a living, which the government does not formally allow, but they also dont strongly enforce (similar to cuba). people have access to public transit, healthcare, schooling, etc, unlike war torn countries such as south sudan. north korea also does actually participate in global trade, even with europe, although they are heavily sanctioned too.

i am in no way supporting north korean government, and it is in fact terrible and poverty is common, but it is nowhere near as bad as American propaganda makes it seem, nor is it as bad as being stuck in a war torn, disease ridden, desert with barely any infrastructure.

5th place is also still pretty fucking bad for a country that hasn't been at war for half a century.

As of this year, germany has changed its laws regarding citizenship. the process is shorter now, and dual citizenship is allowed.

im a canadian who has moved to germany as well, and i would definitely have rather moved to the netherlands if it weren't for the fact that the netherlands doesn't allow dual citizenship. the netherlands is by far superior in my opinion, but i want an EU citizenship so im just living in germany until i can apply for that. also free education in germany sounds nice.
