Still here. Checking in.

Thats a business decision, not a technical one. Pay for immediacy is a huge money maker for companies like that.

I believe it’s fortune. More differing platforms that allow users control of what they are consuming, the better.

Yes, and I do think a system like they have that only allows something to be approved when people who have different perspectives agree is a good idea.

Also, I believe it is labeled correctly. It is a ā€œnoteā€ which doesn’t imply it is a correction which I think is important.

There isn’t anything like this in Nostr yet right? Maybe I missed it but the apps I use don’t show it upfront.

Unrelated but entirely true.

Tell me when I can no longer buy a Pinto.

Just got stopped, searched, bag strewn on the airport floor on arrival to Germany.

I’m a bit shaken up that was horrid.

The Alsatian sniffer dog was adamant I had something on me.

I know I dont have any drugs so I was trying to be helpful to speed it up. But it’s pretty intimidating when they’re so abrupt and aggressive.

The policeman was a massive cunt though. Threw my stuff on the floor and was the ā€œguilty until proven innocentā€ kind of guy.

ā€œYou have drugs. I am going to find them .ā€

He made me repack my bag in front of the queue leaving the plane.

I held up the queue though and they were all scowling, naturally.

They tested my hands with some swab thing and the lady policemen had to check with the other guy and said ā€œit’s high.ā€

It can’t possibly be the case as I haven’t touched weed since maybe the summer?

Hate to judge but there weren’t a lot of brain cells between them.

But they still weren’t satisfied so i got paraded through past the gate to do a ā€œunderpants searchā€ as they were adamant I had something.

At this point i was like what are my right here, you can’t just strip search someone.

Once we went through the gate though the sniffer dog changed its mind.

It stopped butting my right thigh. Thank fuck for that.

But man. All that coz they thought I had a bit of weed?

Gahhhhh. Jesus wept what a waste of resources. I missed my train and I’m probs gonna go full radicalised.

Fuck the fucking fuckers.

welcome to germany lol

That’s the problem though. You’re basically agreeing to all of that by flying with major carriers. It sucks there isn’t an alternative flight network unless you charter planes.

Don’t want to be scrutinized by a bus driver? Buy or rent your own car.

Don’t want to be scrutinized by an airline or its affiliates? Buy or rent your own airplane.

The airplane one is a bit harder. That’s what we pay for convenience when not wealthy.

Very cool! Thank you!!!

As the vet, they’ll take a sample and confirm what it is if they can’t tell just by looking at it.

My guess is like you said, a skin disease. Either way, completely changing their diet would be worth doing, ask the vet.
