Do it. You can live perpetually abroad because each stay even without a visa last for months.
I cannot recommend living abroad enough. If you have a remote job that pays minimum wage, you can live comfortably in a lot of countries, or if you want to be an English teacher temporarily, boy is it easy and profitable to live abroad.
If that life sounds appealing in any way, I can only recommend flying to another country immediately and can attest that perpetually living abroad is extremely enjoyable. I am doing that right now.
The young, who must determine, pay for and implement the solutions to the existential crises their parents and grandparents willfully created, are now the most unhappy people in the US.
I was hoping for marine biology, but cannot hear “marine”, does it sound like that to you?
77·6 months agoWhen you come face to face with an armed guard and the large steel door of the bunker that he’s protecting, just let him know it was the Wi-Fi leading you there.
That’s why everybody shows up.
4·6 months agoSorry, I’m not following. You mean the defendant is fucked and his lawyer he stabbed will try to get revenge on him?
There you go, take the wins where you can
That would make it tough in colder climates, but still worth it for 6 months out of the year, in my opinion.
It’s just such an obvious equation to me now haha, like do you want to touch any of that?
No, I don’t want to touch any of that and I want to be perfectly clean.
Okay then there’s this option that saves on toilet paper, feels better for your skin and is far more hygienic.
There’s just no comparison, although I perfectly understand how conservative and resistant to change people can be.
I worked with some old folks once and there was this old man who refused to buy a mouse for his laptop cuz he was like look this is the trackpad. I don’t need a mouse, that’s just newfangled b*******.
“His defense attorney, Matt Fregi, said he harbored “no ill will toward” his client, who had already cycled through several attorneys before him. “Nothing serious,” he said of his injuries. “Everyone thought it was a lot more serious than what it was.””
That’s a cool lawyer
You make too many tenuous subjective assumptions to address directly with too many tractable goal posts to avoid.
I specifically addressed your “generational experience” concern.
"I do agree that anybody of an older generation probably has more mental hangups than the younger generation and I think the younger generation is breaking that cycle by going to therapy while the older generation refuses to acknowledge or take responsibility for their mental health even though they have the capacity and resources to.
Empathy is helpful to a point, but you have to recognize that point."
51·6 months agoOh, of course.
Because the idea of trauma implies an unearned sense of victimhood to a very small group of elites that doesn’t make a lot of sense in this historical or international context.
Cuba agreeing to Russian missile sites didn’t seem to scar any other nearby countries for two generations.
I don’t see why we should bestow the Americans with a special sense of victimhood.

The Chinese renewable infrastructure installed and currently being installed is inarguably massive compared to all other countries, of any size, combined:
China’s solar energy capacity by early 2023, 250GW, was more than the rest of the world combined.
That 250GW capacity is double what it was in 2017
It’s over 300 GW of solar power as of 2024, and on track to install another 1000GW before 2030, quadrupling their solar capacity alone and massive lead over the rest of the world in solar power and renewable energy.
Wind energy in China has a higher capacity than all of Europe combined.
Australia has 26 million people, China has 1.4 billion, 50 times the personal modern energy needs of Australia in a country that gets much colder for longer parts of the year.
I like this idea of trauma being the driving force, although I would argue wording is relevant here and lean toward the phrase “pearl-clutching” myself.
These screw into the hot and cold water lines going straight up to your sink, not the toilet line.
Like this:
And then this one takes less than a minute to install:
This is the simplest way to get a hot water one though, you just screw right into the faucet itself.
The wording is irrelevant.
It’s an antiquated, devastating and unwarranted sanction against a non-aggressive country.
The US stops itself and other countries from trading with Cuba because they are “communists”, which is a ridiculous and hypocritical reason to cripple a country when the largest US trading partner is China.
If other countries trade with Cuba, the us has passed laws so that the us can sanction other countries, companies and individuals.
Every country votes every year to end the US’ vindictive, barbaric globally coercive embargo artist Cuba except for the US and Israel.
It’s a dollar more to install the ones onto the hot and cold taps, then you can set and forget the temp of the water, so it’s always the right temp.
And obviously they have the tech on-demand heated ones, but you can buy the sprayer and taps version for 15 bucks with stainless steel parts.
I’m lazy so I use the kind you can screw directly into the sink tap itself, find the right temp in the regular sink faucet handle, set and forget.
30 second installation, adjustable water temp, switch adjustable nozzle to use bidet or sink faucet, easy.
Number is 60 killed now, must have just been updated
