Germany, one of the most visited countries in the Schengen Area, attracts thousands of Indian travelers every year for tourism, business, study, and family visits.

A Schengen visa allows travelers to enter and stay in Germany and 26 other Schengen countries for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is mainly issued for tourism, business, family visits, or short-term studies.

had to make an appointment with the social security office and after waiting an hour to speak to them the woman told me she had “never heard” of new york city
#i had to list of various cities nearby that MIGHT have offices so she could check each one. she could not search for the ones closest to me#she also could not find an early morning or late afternoon appointment. i had to give her each day to check individually#she also could not tell me which documents to bring. she said to bring everything and then at the appointment we’ll see if it’s sufficient#which is awesome cuz i have to leave work early and take 2 different forms of public transit to get there#and you may be thinking well this woman may be from another country that’s why she doesn’t know new york. no she’s american#it’s times like this when all you can do is laugh. 😐

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH + BAND OF BROTHERS:
JOSEPH "JOE" RAMIREZ
Born October 5th, 1921, in Nebraska
Died April 8th, 1988 (age 66), in Martinez, California
Joe Ramirez enlisted in September 1942 (age 20) in San Francisco, CA, and he trained with Easy Company at Toccoa. Holding the rank of Private, he served in Normandy, Holland, and Bastogne. He was hospitalized in January 1945, and discharged in July 1945. After the war, he was married for many years, and had children and grandchildren. When he passed away he was buried with his wife, who had passed away 11 years earlier.

#joe ramirez#joseph ramirez#band of brothers#rene l. moreno#mine: gifs#hispanic heritage month#latino heritage month#sources vary on whether he was a Private or PFC#they seem to have taken A LOT of creative liberties on the show bc#the only 2 anecdotes about him in BoB seem pretty diff from his character on-screen#not to mention that he would've been in the hospital during events of episodes 8 and 10 (each of which he's in several scenes)#on the other hand i do really like his character in the show and think he's one of the best and most underrated background characters#and why yes i am completely normal about him 😅#but also i'm sure he would've been great too if they'd made him more accurate to what limited info exists about the IRL guy#I forgot to save a few of the documents that bleedingcoffee42 sent me unfortunately but these are most of them!#but from one of them (his draft card?) i discovered he lived like 1.5 miles from my grandparents!!#(tho of course they moved there in the 50s so who knows if he was still living at same address by then... but still!)#oops i originally had the episodes he's in listed wrong on this#so AFAIK he's only NOT in eps 2 and 9#in ep 1 he's twirling a knife at the beginning and eating spaghetti next to Guarnere and Malarkey and playing basketball in England#in ep 6 he's eating the bean soup near the line when Sink arrives#in 7 he's sitting next to popeye and then in the church at the end (maybe in Foy but i'm not positive)#in ep 3 i thiiiink he's in Carentan next to Buck? and he's at the party in England sitting next to Lipton and listening to Gordon#in 4 he's in too many scenes to list here#in 8 he's in too many to list#in 10 he's hunting for food with the group and standing next to Grant's shooter when Speirs comes in the room

I love your artwork so much! Your colors are so vibrant and none of the white speckles in the paper ever shows, its so impressive and I really dig it! I was wondering if you use any sort of blending medium? Like baby oil or anything? Either way, I really enjoy looking at your artwork and I'm always excited to see whatever you'll make next
I use a colorless blender (prismacolor, which is wax-based so baby oil probably wouldnt work) but my scanner is also rly bad about picking up white specks in a way photographing the art with my phone isnt, so I usually have to do some digital editing to get rid of them as well.
I do this by duplicating the layer, setting the one on top to "darken," and using the mixer brush to blend out the white spots + just use the eyedropper tool to select the color of that area (needs to be a slightly lighter shade of it) and color over the white spots with the brush tool
i edited a small bit of the original scan to show what i mean
original:
with the edited layer:
heres how it looks set to normal instead of darken, I used both the mixing brush and regular brush just to demo it
#explanation is under the cut. post got a bit too long#u prob have to click the image for full resolution to rly see what i mean about the white specks showing up#i think its bc the scanner is meant to scan documents. so it picks up the white specks of paper very brightly#how much editing is done varies from piece to piece#ive thought abt listing 'digital art' as one of the mediums in tags for the more heavily edited art#where it looks significantly different than the physical drawing in front of me#but i feel like that might be confusing#art where i set out to do some mix of traditional and digital is tagged this way but im not rly sure where to draw the line tbh#the hunger wasnt edited in a way where it looks significantly different from the original (just a bit darker)#the scan is just dull and light bc my scanner is like that lol#so with editing that one i was mostly just trying to make it look like the physical drawing in front of me#u can tell by the 'layer 44' in the screenshot these take a lot of editing lmao#art help

"do you think god stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he created" except it's the qsmp admins realizing players including but not limited to forever, pierre, tazercraft, cellbit, phil, fit, bad, and etoiles are able and completely willing to break the server for reasons such as "to gamble more", or simply because it's funny
#qsmp#pierre crashed the server so they could gamble#fit could absolutely crash the server to gamble#etoiles is so cracked they had to spawn enough mobs to lag the server to pose a threat to him#phil has chayanne in pieces simply bc it's funny#bad would break the server to gamble and he is at the moment functionally immortal (22 totem pop tom over here)#tazercraft caught cucurucho in his chayanne pajamas breaking back into the nether and also shredded a federation build with a fucking drill#cellbit cracked their arg in like a week and may at this point have a more comprehensive lore document than the admin team lmfao#forever has been nerfed at LEAST twice and that's absolutely not gonna be the end of it#this is not an exhaustive list. god help the qsmp admin team.#shut up vic#block game brainrot

fking sucks as a female engineer i have to literally go through all the documentation for a subject just to be like i read the docs here’s where ur wrong bc me going ‘my understanding is-‘ by itself has historically not been enough to persuade Anyone.
#and by anyone im also talking about other fem engineers#hi statistically these docs were probably written by a man#and if they were not we can just pretend they are bc if you wont listen to me maybe the image of listening to a man will help u understand#its theres one thing all engineers abide by its the fking documentation#use that as leverage in any argument and its the easiest win#docs dont say that docs say this#well ig if the documentation is good this works#but for widely used tools and languages they are#my favorite docs in the entire world are the c++ ones bc they just know what u want and thats an example#mozillas mdn or whatever is also good#i talk about something non gojo related-#my documentation tier list:

oh hey speaking of mort, i found the old rp documents for them and
1. shockingly the personality description is still dead on to a point where it’s kind of fucking hilarious
2. i found mort’s first design which we made when we were 15
featuring a comical misunderstanding on how overalls work
and here’s mort’s most recent drawing for comparison
funky
#dead to the world#not a heritage post#honestly the old version could just pass for a younger version of mod#i mean they’re literally younger there but you get what i mean#also mort’s listed as 5’4 and 120 pounds in the document#while nowadays i put them at 5’4 and 150#aka slightly overweight

Same train of thought is why in the fuck does Blake start out deradicalized?
The White Fang had been committing at minimum targeted property damage, grand larceny, and assassinations since Blake was twelve. Being radicalized at that young an age, she wouldn't just be lost in the sauce, Blake would be mixing kool-aid in Jonestown!
Something pretty major must have happened in order for her beliefs - which at this point would be intrinsically tied to her identity - to be shaken badly enough that she'd eventually leave the only family she'd known for the last five years. And even after leaving, there's still the unlearning of those beliefs and all the missteps that accompany that journey
Yet she gets introduced as being uncomfortable with the direction of things as if they haven't been going on for half a decade, as if she's not on what seems like a routine mission, as if there's not a damn good reason they're doing the things they're doing
ShawLuna kinda wrote Blake like she was born yesterday and is just now learning what sin is rather than a young woman having a moral crisis
#rwde#also notice how blake is the og sad face girl redemption?#p much the only difference is that blake holds herself accountable for her past actions whereas others tend to la di da past them#(or she used to. that shit dropped real fast)#if only we KNEW WHAT YOU HAD TO ATONE FOR BLAKE. WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOO#ilia should have been even harder to deradicalize considering she's been in the WF longer than Blake#AND due to the circumstances of her parents deaths she has strong reason to radicalize even further#seriously why did mentioning her parents make her switch sides? id bite anyone who tried that shit w me#blake aint got a philosophy to stand on so she just uses emotional manipulation#ilia you were so wasted on faunus island. you should've been leaking government documents on Remnant twitter#like that one person who leaked the no fly list and stayed silly :3#hell now that i think abt it p much the only thing ilia was reticent abt was attacking other faunus but even then she could be persuaded#blake really was just handed that victory huh#idk how to end this one. post be upon ye

Again - if any folks know of any fandom infrastructure type riordanverse blogs of any kind (or even some general pan-fandom infrastructure blogs that encompass riordanverse) or run any themselves (or make new ones!) always feel free to let me know!!!! Even if they're inactive! This goes for askblogs too of any variety (they count as fandom infrastructure too)! I want to list as many as possible to make things easier to find for people.
My list of current fandom infrastructure blogs I have in a dedicated page on my blog's sidebar that is always available and I will update every time I am informed of a new one.
#pjo#riordanverse#fandom infrastructure#please know every time I am informed of a new riordanverse fandom infrastructure blog#i go yippee like the autism creature and scurry off to my lists#this is enrichment for me#so help me i will document and index as many blogs as possible in this fandom

i wish there was a way to open google docs without pulling them up to the very top of recently opened documents. because sometimes i want to cause myself psychic damage with old writings but also they should just stay buried down in "last opened 2019" you know
actually post cancelled i just figured out you can make it sort by "last modified" instead of "last opened" which is probably more useful sorting metric for me anyway
#nearly all my old fanfic wips say '2019' because that's when i transferred it from my school email to personal email#so in reality they're quite a bit older#and i want to. hm. see what i was up to back then#because i suspect i only remember like 3 ideas out of the 20 i probably attempted#i just found like a one page hetalia wip from 2015 and i want to open it so badly#i remember my friends and i used to have like these round robin style fic collabs back and forth at school#and i found another old high school document where we had a bulleted list of fanfic ideas and out next to them the names of who was writing
