  • Yeah I agree with everything youve said which is why at this point in my life I am not very well traveled and haven’t considered leaving. Side note, my partner learned English and their advanced degree and career so it’s a bit different, but I will certainly make the effort if plans solidify. I will make the effort anyway but it would be motivating if I knew I was going to be there long term. I have some trade skills but my most useful contribution is living frugally and not causing trouble.


  • I think it became a lot more probable since she got her first medical bill from a minor injury, while having insurance, $900. Paying $1500 a month for an apartment with college students yelling next door and a homeless encampment in the woods next to the building, management doesn’t fit anything when it breaks. Spending $100 for two people for curry and icecream. Needing to own a car to do anything.









  • People in the US seem extremely shallow and judgemental, and everywhere we go everyone is just loud and BIG PERSONALITIES dominate. Staying in a neighborhood that 10 years ago was predominantly black and Latino and now full of whites with BLM signs and “We support Latinx” in their windows. I hate the terms “woke” and “virtue signaling” but god damn. Someone was really offended at the bar that I mentioned myself and 2 of my roommates were mugged by crackheads in this neighborhood before it was bought out by developers and had world fusion foods with $25 plates and vintage boutiques. Like “we don’t talk about that” vibes. Bars full of fat hipster guys and middle aged liberal women who scowl a lot. Everyone talks in a sarcastic quippy tone. Get me the fuck out of this removedry.


  • So I’m fairly convinced climate change will kill most of the worlds population in the next 5 years. I used to think 2030-2050 was gonna be the tipping point, but now I believe we are well past the tipping point and living on borrowed time.

    I sort of did the climate grieving process about a decade ago when every climate scientist I personally knew was talking to their friends and family about how humanity is doomed. People close to me used to treat me like I was diseased because I would drop some hints that climate change was going to collapse civilization in our lifetimes, many had children in the last few years. Now they are freaking out and grieving.

    Time for cozy western life to end.
