That can be solved with a bouncer. The bouncer stays connected and loads chat history, when you do connect. :)

IRC exists and works great! :D

I'm on a self hosted network that is active almost around the clock, full of chill, wholesome and welcoming people. I can PM details for anyone who wants to come check us out (there is a webchat option, no need to set up a IRC client if you just want to have a look), don't know if advertising is frowned upon here or not and I don't want to spam or upset anyone.

Edit: Since my account is too young to be sending private messages to strangers, I'll add the info here:

The server address is irc.inthemansion.com port: 6697
Join #lobby and say "hello" :)

Web chat can be found on the front page here https://inthemansion.com/ it will by default make you join #lobby. So if you are unfamiliar with IRC, that is the easiest way to try it out.

Tbh, I didn't even realize I was doing victim blaming. I just thought that was common sense. Life is unfair and bureaucracy is cold and not flexible. You just got to have your ducks in a row and papers in order, in time. And when I say "in time" I mean like 2 years before the absolute last chance. If you are not 10 steps in front of things, this shit happens.

I know because I've experienced it myself and every time it was my fault for doing things withing the allowed time but not early.

Really depends on where you are. I mean, we have actual trucks, not pick up trucks, but like those box trucks that deliver goods to shops and such. They drive around in cities no problem. Of course, some early medieval town in Germany or Italy is a different thing, but those are more a exception than the rule. You got to remember, Europe was bombed quite badly during the war and then in the 1970s there was a big obsession about building infrastructure for cars. That has been slowly reversed back to more pedestrian friendly cities, but still, they are not built in a way that prevents larger vehicles to use the streets.

The main reason for the lack of american style pick up trucks here is tax and fuel costs. People who need a pick up truck would rather drive around in a 2.4 diesel Toyota Hilux, than a 28 litre V8 motor Dodge RAM. Most of the people driving with Yank Trucks are people who fantasize about being a good ol' boy from Texas, while not having traveled more than 25 kilometers outside of their home town of Kauhajoki.

I get that there has been issues with bureaucracy and delays and whatnot... but they really should have started the citizenship process right when the right honourable, friend of the pigs, Mr. Cameron announced they would have the vote.

If a gang gathers at my yard and they tell me they will vote if they will set my house on fire or not, I start dialing the fire department then, not when they start whittling the kindling.

They should make them flow downhill, that would save fuel
