Denchik's life

I wrote a complaint to the administration of the President of the Russian Federation about the Russian consulate in The Hague, stating that I have been unable to renounce my citizenship for a year now. Let’s see.

I’ve decided to head back through France tomorrow. I’ve been getting stressed out by the toll roads. I was feeling really stressed, so I accidentally turned off the highway onto a regular speed road at 90-110 km/h and found it much more enjoyable. There weren’t those trucks constantly overtaking each other and slowing down all the other cars, where the speed limit is 130 km/h. So, if I stick to non-highway roads all the time, my vacation time will increase significantly, and I won’t be able to return in time. Another reason I decided to turn back is booking hotels through booking.com. They’ve already charged me three times, but the hotel room itself hasn’t appeared in the app. Then I have to deal with customer support at every stop. It’s really stressful. So, I’ve decided to take the return route and not rush.

Here’s another café where I got caught up in chatting, forgot to pay, and left. Of course, the waiter chased after me and asked me to pay.

In the city, there are many colorful fashionable flowers, so I chose Vilveta film. There are plenty of bicycles, and shops with the name cofeeshop remind me of Amsterdam. Also, I encountered more than one bicycle shop. There are many restaurants with chef’s specials, so you don’t have to choose a dish from the menu, the chef will do everything for you.

Lyon, France

I couldn’t take a picture of it, but the toll road from Luxembourg to Lyon was stunningly beautiful. Rain was replaced by rainbows, bright light, all against the backdrop of giant hills and lush green grass everywhere.

In a conversation involving argumentation, it usually creates a narrow corridor of truths for each side. The only path to proper argumentation is to seek common points of intersection.

Today I heard an awesome phrase in a lecture on argumentation: argumentation is not proof. Proofs can only exist in formal sciences. An argument is built on probability, on experience. If there is an authoritarian regime, then society is unhealthy. A democratic regime is precisely the support of society’s functioning through arguments. When a boss or ruler says that they have made a decision only and does not listen to arguments, the collective and society are already becoming ill.

I want to start a narrative on how the green community initiates actions, focusing specifically on their practices. As it is well-known, soon the Netherlands will witness the blossoming of flowers, with tulip fields bursting into vibrant colors. However, in reality, this entails the significant degradation of a considerable amount of soil, rendering it unsuitable for agricultural crops due to the use of toxic fertilizers. It would be more beneficial to utilize these resources for feeding people rather than contributing to soil degradation.

I read the Foreign Affairs magazine. The author of the article says that USA messed up big time when it had to support the working class and regulate wealth. Now, democracy is crumbling, and alternative political movements are on the rise. The consequence of this mess is a significant gap between the rich and the poor. In European countries, it is noted that things are not so bad because they were better at achieving equality.

Conclusion. Officials, the government, and everyone except the system are to blame. All to avoid embracing Marx’s work.

Used the P+R system on small parking lots near Diemen and Duivendrecht in Amsterdam. Spaces are always occupied – the pass only works with trains; the metro is not suitable. It’s also crucial to monitor availability on larger parking lots. Sometimes, it’s more cost-effective to pay 6 euros for parking in Amsterdam than to combine it with a transit pass. Today, NS invoiced the full amount despite a 13 euro promotion for a three-month transit pass. The promotion worked for only one month, and now I have to pay the full sum. Called, they said it’s my mistake (accepted after) but couldn’t explain the reason for the full payment this month compared to the previous invoice. Asked to contact another employee later; perhaps they’re not interested in resolving the situation. In conclusion, P+R solves the issue of car availability in the city but not the problem of people getting from point A to B and does not address the money savings problem either.
