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
That’s a great article, thanks for the read.
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
Quite good. Sans any real spoilers:
Space is a lot more accessible in the early game, and in space ~~no one can hear you scream ~~ there’s a lot more complications than normal, including really turning factory planning and scaling on its head on one planet.
Really mixed it up, much more than the SE mod did (which was good, but just felt like scaling more than unique challenges)
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
I’m an idiot, no clue how I missed that
It’s somehow not on the list? That’s actually unbelievable
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
Yeah, a truck would make me feel better. It’s definitely a risk to move it myself uninsured. For comparison, looks like post tax prices delivered of ~14-18% more in Denmark than the US where we are.
That’s a fair bit, but I’m not sure we’re in the market to try this hard to save a few hundred dollars in such a massive move. I lean towards selling, especially once we packed a big suitcase and it went VERY quick with stuff we love lol
All of this sounds so exciting. Thanks for the reply.
So excited and so overwhelmed.
We’re moving from the US to Denmark soon. We just had a hurricane destroy our city. We are fine, thankfully, but our city is in bad shape. I also just had a decently big surgery a few weeks ago and my doctor’s office is gone, so in the midst of all this I have to find a doctor. Just coincidental timing on all of it.
But it’s net positive. I look forward to the future more than I dread the bad stuff.
We’re moving away from the US, did you misread that or are you suggesting we should flee further than Europe?
Very very little to move. Just what we can carry onto planes basically. Hoping to stay in a spot for many years, but you never know. The packaging is a good idea, I should price compare properly
Surely just mostly different keywords
