Oh I agree, it’s just that Germany gets me out of the US and overseas easier than anywhere else I’ve looked. So it’d be a stepping stone.

This might not be the perfect analogy but this made me think of people I know who find healthy relationships “boring” and prefer unhealthy relationships with a lot of fighting and drama because it’s more exciting.

But at the end of the day the healthy relationship is healthier, it just “feels” uncomfortable until one can realign to it. As another comment says, you feasibly have more time to do the same tasks and, thus, avoid any stress or anxiety but that is possibly going to feel weird and uncomfortable because of the anxiety you were so used to attaching to it.

Maybe it’ll just take some time?

Damnit Germany was going to be my stepping stone for a number of years when I leave the US, out of the fire into a frying pan maybe…

Oh my god I forgot about hypercard…wowww. Memories.

Grew up on Mac (Chuck Yeager game anyone?).

DOS & Win3.1 later. QBasic for first language. Later VB, ew.

Linux sporadically throughout.

Use Linux largely for side projects but unfortunately all my jobs have me stuck on Windows during the day.

That’s just imminent death on a longer scale.

Satire sites continue to deliver, despite my expectations that it would be so hard in this climate.

Also add Elon, please.

I. Love. It.

How do we get it even lower?

I was talking to a friend of mine in Canada about this recently. He has some minor gripes, but nothing like what I have. I told them my recent ER visit approached $15k in charges and they were aghast. They couldn’t even comprehend it. Like, their brain just broke and shut off. It made no sense to them.

It shouldn’t make sense to us, either. We should have a similar reaction, but I think we’ve been slowly boiled so long that we don’t.

Time to take it back.

Wow. TIL. Some estimates put over 550 shows in the Tommy Westphall Universe. Some lower estimates are still over 400.

~50% mortality rate, holy crap we’re screwed.

lol who cares??

His actions have killed millions and hindered progress in America by tens and tens of years.

Fuck off Mitch. Nobody actually likes you. Nobody really loves you. You sold out. I hope you die miserable, scared, and alone.

We don’t.

That’s the point. Make Trump feel like he’s second fiddle and he might just ditch Elon. Setting off a war of the elites.

A very large negative number.

Then we just get JD Vance.

And after him, another.

It’s going to take all of us.

Can I opt out of paying SS taxes? Haha.

Dang that’s a good deal (I’m joking).

I would have to pay ~$1800/mo for just my wife and I for mediocre coverage.
