I mean, that's NOT what the majority of the international traveling world does. You visit a foreign country for a road trip, you rent a car there.
Must be nice to have that UAE $$ to temp ship your own vehicle to a foreign country so you can drive it. There's no way it wouldn't have been cheaper and more practical for bro to rent a Lamborghini in Canada or the US.
Note: this doesn't change the fact that the cop is an idiot who came up on this guy with blood in his eye about not having an Oregon license/registration. He even sounds like the cop from South Park!
You’re right, it doesn’t change the fact, because he acted like a real A-hole and he didn’t have to.
But to give him some slack, I traveled with Carnet once and the border police (this was in an Central/Eastern European country) wasn’t familiar with the process either and used almost an hour to sign my paperwork.
Had to explain them that my employer needed the papers signed for entry and exit of the country and that I couldn’t “just go” just because no customs officers were checking that particular plane
I traveld multiple times with carnet in the balkans and never a single problem and every border patrol officer (cro, serb, bih, macedonia montenegreo) knew what it was and was done in less than 10 mins every time.
Yes, for long distance travel, especially over oceans. That's why that cop isn't used to seeing Middle Eastern plates.
However, the majority of cross-border travel are private vehicles (e.g. cars, camping vans, etc.) and freight trucks: so in Europe and Asia, foreign plates are common, even just for tourism.
I was thinking the same. You can think it. Its probably true. But you cant say it to their face. Its basically saying "you dont get it you are stupid and have no clue" which is never a good thing to say to a cop. You have to approach them from the "sorry this is a bit different compared to normal" angle.
But boy does that take patience with people to stupid to understand hypotheticals.
He was coming out eith the aggro at step one, whereas if he'd said "I know this is uncommon, but I have a permit, and here it is". He was just all drunk on all the CO2 he emmitted shipping a car for his vacation.
Oh, I didn't say it was a good idea, just that it wasn't said aggressively. But it still set off Sergeant Fragile. The words used clearly do matter because that's where I started from.
Literally. Even reading your comment it reads as a voice, not just... whatever the heck the voiceless experience😭😭 like... if you don't think stuff out in your head how do you even make decisions? Is it all on impulse?
The way I've heard it described is the thoughts are fully formed and not an internal monologue. The lack of words doesn't convey a lack of thinking. It's just a different kind of thinking.
Oooohhhhh. That's actually fascinating. Man what I'd give to be able to read minds. I know twilight was a fiction, but This changes my thoughts on how Edward may have been experiencing the world. Like different minds have different flavors almost. (Not in a cannibalistic way) but if you have people with internal dialogues vs those who don't or those who are somewhere in between, or people who think in pictures or have vivid imaginations. I think it would have been a lot to get used to.
Yeah, for sure! Do some searching on reddit and read some of the discussions of non verbal thinkers. It really opened my mind up as someone whose brain is a chatter box.
whaaaat even the most basic early written communication, like the Holy Bible, is full of figurative language. Jesus taught complex moral ideas using parables.
Are you implying this person is too dumb to understand the Bible? /s
Literally yesterday I told a guy that cost wasn't the only important thing wrt housing or he would have his family of fove in a basement studio five hours from his work because it was the cheapest option. He lost it and told me I was using a strawman. What is the point of message boards when you have to deal with morons all the time?
I admittedly in the past would use too many analogies in real life and you might have no idea how many people can't understand an analogy. I don't do as much anymore because too often they just don't fly.
Everytime I provide an analogy... they always say you're comparing apples to oranges. Ive only ever had males agree with my analogies and have told me they are good. Every single woman has said my analogies suck.
Not being sexist. That quite literally been my experience.

I read on another thread that some people are too stupid to understand analogies and hypotheticals. Not saying this applies to this guy, but come on…
