Life advice: when you're printing documents on a public computer, probably close the tabs and delete the browser and adobe acrobat's history before leaving.
Someone printing a document from Israel Bar Association didn't do that so I was greeted with their entire pdf.

The sheer fact that this announcement is necessary highlights there were some episodes with very entitled people.

One thing that I saw in Taiwan that I never saw anywhere else were library machines at train stations, here are some in Taipei and Kaohsiung.

I think I did well reaching to democratic forces overseas being a protester in Russia, which, as I’m a Jew who fled to Israel after being denied by the west, ended in me being called a “settler” on Oct 7 by a Syrian activist in Britain or equalled to a rapist by a Hong Kong activist in Australia.
What skill did you master that you will never, ever use again?

I think it would probably be handwriting. I trained as a draftsman many moons ago, and could write really well.

Now, I hardly ever write anything, everything is via a keyboard. Nobody can understand my writing, including me.

Driving a car -- and stick shift at that. My driving license expired some years back and I can't be bothered to renew it/apply for a new one.

I still don't have a permanent place to live or a job, and since the original books in Japanese I left for now when becoming a refugee, got myself this by getting three shipments from different shops.

One might be interested in inquiring how "bassoon" is named in many languages
Ngl there’s a cutesie name for a famously awful East German car that’s wayyyyy too close to a slur for trans people for comfort

My family died in that ghetto too. I’m not a German Chancellor but I’m one who protested for 12 years, for Ukraine ever since 2014, protested with people who got killed, fled on foot to the west 3,5 yrs ago and was denied. For official Ukraine it would’ve been better if I weren’t doing this at all.
