        England has its own problems, but for anyone who decides the North East of England sounds appealing, I’d be quite happy to do the traditional British thing of sitting in a pub and putting the world to rights whilst enjoying a nice beer with you 🍻

        We’re all either going to die in a blaze of fire within 4 years or we’re going to survive with some pretty hefty PTSD. Either way, we’re gonna need some friends to enjoy it with.

        I recently saw a video claiming that the US taxes it’s citizens even if they live abroad. Is that true? If so, how are you going to deal with that? Paying taxes for two countries would not leave you a lot to live on…

          I believe you’re only taxed the delta between what would be your US rate and another country’s rate if said country has a lower rate.

          Most countries have agreements to not double tax people. So if you tell the US government you already pay taxes to Sweden, they will waive their own tax requirements

          None? My guy, you might be cooked. I had dozens of 7 step interviews over those 13 months. If you’re not meeting with the CEO for an individual contributor role, then are you really living!?

            I thought it was a big deal that I had met the ceos of the last two companies I worked for and never did previous to that. Granted one was in the bathroom.

                  No, zero sarcasm. I’ve had executives of billion dollar companies present during my interviews multiple times. No fucking idea why. These where not “I’m a CEO of a 10 employee company” this was “I’m the CEO of a company with 10,000 employees.” This was twice but every other of the dozens I made it to the point of interviewing with a director or vice president of a fortune 500 company. Like, wtf is the deal now!?

    Well shit, with all the neoconfederates muttering about the confederacy rising again for over a century, I didn’t expect the Nazis to pull out a surprise victory.

    Guess that’s what happens when a nation worships something as hollow as money and greed and not the wellbeing of society and its people.

      The Nazis were defeated, but never really destroyed.

      Humanity should avoid this error from happening a second time.

      Edit: I’m not saying Germany should have been erased. I mean, Nazis should have been chased until the last one was caught. German or not is irrelevant.

      Power belongs to the ones that wield it.

      Congress has given it up, as their spiritual ancestors did to Hitler and Mussolini.

      It won’t be taken back with votes.

    I love the meme that was pointing out, musk is not a nazi, the salute does not make him a nazi. He is supporting and fundiny nazis to curry their favor, and that is far worse. He is funding nazis for his greed.
