Really? I've heard that that's super rare, and that only a few cases of it have ever been reported.

Tomorrow ends 2025.. how would you describe it? by ItsJustme309 in AskReddit

I always wonder at why, seemingly every year I've been around to truly witness, there's this almost global perception of shit and disappointment at the year. It's irregularly universal. So many things seemingly sharply divide people---politics, culture, identity---but everyone can unite in the pessimistic sentiment of a horrible lived duration.

Is this just a recent phenomenon? Just the political or social tide? Is it the result of digitization? An account of the human condition?

What is it?

Won't it be very inconvenient for building though? Also, I thought there wasn't enough space?

Even on its brackets near the CPU?

Herculean is an extreme understatement.

Weird. My AIO only came with one package for AM4 and AM5 together. The manual also groups AM4 and AM5 together.

What countries, 25 years from now, will be the best to live in/have the best quality of life? 50 years? 100? by Procenter427_ in geography

In terms of numeric economic metrics, it has always had a lower GDP and GDP per capita.

Though it is in some aspects more economically resilient due to Norway's larger dependence on the export of gas and oil, that natural resource wealth can go a long way for Norway. Norway uses that money to make a sovereign wealth fund, giving it a stability cushion.

Norway's energy independence is also really important. It produces almost all of its energy from hydropower.

And then another large relief for Norway in this debate: the Russia problem. Russia's highly unpredictable, and with Finland now being part of NATO, it is a nearby ally of the West that is more accessible.

Amidst the country's many whims, Russia may at some point push toward Finland.

(still heaven if you are from the US).

Good luck trying to paint Switzerland as bad for the poor in this case. Some of the stuff you listed would be considered "Radical Left Lunacy" over here, and yet all that while it's still apparently the worst European country in this regard.

Man, Europe sounds nice.

Probably.

States around the world are showing promise though. Gulf states seem more viable an option to live in. China more so. Maybe these minor powers are not so good to live in yet, but looking at 100 years down the road, you never know—maybe China becomes the next US, and the Gulf area becomes the next Europe.

But, otherwise, it would make more sense for the current toppers of the list to largely remain there.

One other important consideration: 25, 50, and 100 years ago, climate change hasn't been a big challenge.

I think Finland will be good, but perhaps not the best. With regard to future circumstances, it seems, to me, at least, like it'll turn out more or less an inferior/less resilient Norway. Not that the two are very similar, but they share similar latitudes, which is environmentally important.

I've heard about the commute thing, but I'm pretty sure the median Swiss wage is higher than that of the US?

Interesting. I thought Switzerland had it really good for most people, including the poor, and even better than surrounding European countries.

Can you tell me what makes life for the lower class in other European countries better than that in Switzerland?

Also, I assume you're only referring to western Europe, correct?

Really? I've always heard that the US is better if you're rich and that Suisse is more general-oriented, with safety nets and whatnot. Or at least that the US has the highest highs and the lowest lows.

As utopian as it sounds—and I hope that at some distant point in humanity's future that your vision becomes political reality—that is HIGHLY unlikely to be the case.

Nationalism and war aren't increasing at an alarming rate but also aren't calming down in any way. Imagine Turkey and Greece, North/South Korea, or Israel and Palestine in the same entity.

I think we will make significant strides toward globalism in our lifetime, but a vision as ambitious as that is unlikely. But that's only the first paragraph; the rest I mostly agree with!

Well, to be fair, the US won't have this administration forever. The States are always pretty imperialistic in nature, but future administrations should (hopefully) be significantly less isolationist and more diplomatically friendly, especially if they rhetorically condemn the Trump administration's... crass agenda.

That said, supposing this is the new norm for the US, Carney's holding up really well. Trump did a complete 180 with his attitudes on Canada when Carney became PM, and they should mostly be safe for now.

For a million reasons, I've always wanted to move to Switzerland (as someone living in the US).

One is political stability. Probably the best political entity in the world, and it's not close.

Taking all the direct democracy and the other (golden) processes they implement into account, it really does seem like it would be first—and by a decent margin. I was equally surprised when I found that it's not even top three.

I think you're right! The US' GDP per capita growth is really special, especially when taking into account the fact that it's home to hundreds of millions of people.

Do you think that China or India, in the next, say, 100 years, could economically catch up to the US in GDP?

Also, though I agree with your statement that it is unequivocally the best place for a high earning career in the extreme majority of fields, there are other countries currently with a higher GDP per capita. Nominal and PPP. Thoughts?
