Plenty of non-americans care about the US election. It has a fairly large impact on US foreign policy. Apathy toward our government is what allowed us to be in such a sorry state of affairs.

I think these stairs are in a hotel in Prague/Praha. I swear I have seen them.

I got a fine for not getting my bus ticket stamped in Florence, Italy. Apparently if you paid it the same day it was one price and that price doubled after a week, month, etc.

Didn't matter the machine failed when I stamped it because it was out of ink. I even tried to stamp it in front of the officer. He said I could appeal it in person in court. They know tourists aren't going to appear in court to appeal. I felt scammed but after calming myself down and paying the fine the officer apologized and told me in a few words he hated his job.

All right. You win. I see you've played axeyswordy before.

I can't speak with confidence on the existence of Moses or a figure that was the basis of the legend.

By the "time of Moses" I mean around 1300BCE.

It's hard to prove a man didn't exist. It's easy to state there is no evidence of Exodus as biblically described.

You should take a moment to read up on the topic.

Trump signed the original agreement with the Taliban. Biden delayed the deal from May until September. Trump had a year to handle sorting the agreement he made.

Most of us understand both presidents failed in it's execution. It's important you know that Trump lit a short fuse and walked away.

There is no archeological evidence of Israelites residing in Egypt at the time of Moses nor of their enslavement there.

It is widely agreed that the tribes of Israel decended from Canaanites and other locals.

I wish modern christians would revise the bible. It's not like they haven't done it before.

So you "don't care whatsoever" about fixing the problem you seem so passionate about and would rather winge about it. The rest of us are interested in solutions. You are soapboxing to primarily left leaning people here on Lemmy so I don't know who you are hoping to proselytize.

Plenty of gun owners are for common sense gun legislation, background checks, mandatory safety instruction, etc. If you want to enact change we need them on our side. What you are doing just creates division and slows any progress we make toward sanity. Mediate your rhetoric.

The one that surprised me is Hooters. They were in Vienna, Budapest, and Prague just to name a couple places. There is a KFC in Venice. There are several Taco Bell in Barcelona including one across the street from La Sagrada Familia. You can see a Burger King and a Subway "sandwich" shop from the Eiffel tower.

My travels in Europe surprised the hell out of me. Virtually every metro area is full of American trash food chains. The one cool thing is they sometimes have local variations on food. I ate at a KFC in Prague out of morbid curiosity and they had an interesting take on the spicy chicken sandwich.

Uncle Ben is that you?
