This is extremely relevant to me as well.

I need even less interaction than most. I just need to check a private group I’m part of for events. Any way to extract that info into something else nicely?

I see the recommendations for FBPurity and the Firefox container, both of which I’ll use on desktop. I was hoping for something for mobile too but just desktop is probably fine

Or, if you’re a little more friendly: “Fuck trump, eh? What a piece of shit. Let me know if I can help at all, so sorry about all this”

The point is that the opportunities are systemically lower for women, so they end up less experienced on the whole or out of the workforce longer.

Compared to the US, I’d say they’re extremely socially progressive.

Healthcare, low gender pay gap, higher “minimum” wages (I know there’s no legal minimum most places but there are commonly accepted lowest wages), very low homelessness, very LGBT+ accepting.

Socially progressive enough? Not for my tastes. But it’s a lot better than the US in social systems

That’s a great list of places to go

Ah, you’re absolutely right. Sorry about that. I didn’t realize that apple removed it in the US

Depending on the US carrier you could have a physical sim too! And e sim is possible on some EU carriers. But generally speaking that’s right

Ah I should be on a screen less, surely. Lots to doomscroll recently.

Surely just mostly different keywords

In reality, you’re asking a VERY left part of the internet. Florida is a diverse and varied pla…

Nah just kidding, fuck Florida. Hawaii is incredible, too, and I’d really consider it if the budget allows. Also look at Bermuda, Bahamas, Puerto Rico

Our boss was like “I’m sure he’s mad but he’ll cool off” for way too long lol

We also worked some insane hours across many locations so it wasn’t abnormal to not see your office mates for weeks at a time

This is technically fired, but it’s more like quitting. It doesn’t perfectly fit this thread but I love telling this story.

A few months into my first real job, the engineers got their raises (not me, I was new). 0%, after record profits, the team busting their ass and working insane hours, and promises of good raises. I think they got some gift cards or something.

One of my coworkers goes back to his desk, packs some stuff, walks to his car, and doesn’t come back. He got paid for a full month before they finally fired him. We got a beer after and he was like “oh I don’t think I’m gonna go back” in the most Office Space way

Learning the local word for sorry is really handy! I feel you, my partner and I struggle with the same sometimes. Most people everywhere are patient and polite, and want you to love their country!

Oh shit, you meant not to visit but to relocate to? I think I’d have a different set of answers for longer term; I was thinking for a vacation!

Yeah, lots of LGBT+ culture in Scandinavia, and a fair bit in the rest of western Europe (Paris, London, Zurich come to mind). Though I’ve spent plenty of time in eastern Asia (and lived near Shanghai), I don’t know that scene super well there. I did karaoke with a bunch of gay people in 道頓堀 in Osaka, and it was dope, but not much else.

If you’re looking for longer term living outside of NATO, I’d look to some Latin America countries, Oceania, and Switzerland.

If you’re looking to just visit, Japan, Scandinavia, most of western Europe are all very easy. A few places I’ve been are a lot harder language wise, and I don’t know that I’d wanna go right to the hard mode that is Shanghai if I hadn’t even left the states

I’ve got a few thoughts, as someone also playing on the lowest difficulty setting (cis ~straight white male, america. (Though ex patting in mere weeks, after years!)):

Japan is an incredible place to be a tourist. Learn a few phrases (すみません、ありがとうございます, etc) and a little culture, be respectful, mind your shoes and manners. You’ll do great, and there’s SO much to see and appreciate. It’s a brilliant culture and society, and so different in lots of ways. Very very safe.

Any Scandinavian country is VERY easy to visit as well. English speaking, easy to get to from the states. See how a proper society can function! (I am biased as a soon-to-be-Danish resident)

I’ll write more soon, dinner time for me

Yeah, there’s a weird implied statute of limitations type of thing with remains. Like thousands of years ago, we can learn so much and uncover history by looking at remains. But you don’t learn much and it’s weird and presumably illegal to dig up recent remains.

I dunno what that time limit is, but to me at least it feels like it exists and intuitively makes enough sense

Yup, same! Or I think of Two Trucks by Lemon Demon

Jesus that’s funny. I guess I am gonna go put that on right now while I shave too.

I’m in Asheville NC not Tampa. We’re not built for the hurricane we got.

Insurance covers very little. Not the fact that the city won’t have water for months, nor access to you property, nor flooding for the majority of people, and many many businesses are gone

All of this sounds so exciting. Thanks for the reply.
