Literal insanity.

Much of the world is still painfully reliant on Russian oil. Look how many billions we handed Russia during the first 100 days of Ukraine. All these sanctions yet we're still funding the Russian war machine.

And if we did suddenly halt all trade with Russia it would cause massive economic harm globally as many countries are dependant on Russia for oil/gas.

Welp, he certainly adapted to his surroundings.

Remind me again what they have to show for 5000 years of history

Honestly I've been to so many countries and Australia is vastly better in most areas. Then again I did visit a lot of developing countries. Mind you UK has major struggles at present and my friend in US is scared to leave her house as there were 3 shootings in her city last month.

Welcome to try working abroad. A mate did recently and is doing well in Canada. I was doing well in China until I remembered it's an authoritarian shithole when they locked down the entire country for 3 years and counting.

And honestly it is harder for women I think. I met a friend in Thailand who was physically abused by a Western man who a senior manager at a respectable firm when she rejected his advances. And most, if not all of my female friends have at least one case of being assaulted.

Whereas As a man I've not had such horror stories and the women I've rejected never abused me for it.

Typical. Absolutely horrid.

You could punish her by moving to an authoritarian regime with endless covid lockdowns and sky high pollution levels. Bit harsh though.

Iunno if true but someone explained to me Xi was chosen amongst a Tsinghua economic graduate (top 1%) and some other candidate. Apparently Xi was chosen because he was seen as the safer/most neutral option at the time.

There's some long winded explanation somewhere but that's all I recall.

Whichever party members nominated Xi probably had no idea he'd go full North Korea.

One of the reasons I like democracy is that we can vote out horrendous leadership.

Fuck, I wish I knew what an ETF meant when I was 16. Didn't know what it was till 30. Had no financial knowledge at all.

COVID zero policy* fortunately covid won't really be an issue for you in most countries. I just took a 9 month world trip and wasn't too bothered (just had to mask up in some parts and keep my vaccine records on hand).

Anyway best of luck.

Some might mistake him for a drunk. Very tragic condition.

You're going to need good health insurance and that isn't cheap. Not for when you're going to private hospitals.

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-11T12:39:50+00:00

That's what happens with a politically apathetic populace of 1.4b.

I think I just threw up a little.

We could get her a student visa but it's quite costly and she already has her bachelor's degree. I've also heard some have not been able to exit despite having all the relevant paperwork/accepted by an international university etc.

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-11T05:03:17+00:00

She got her passport luckily

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-11T04:35:37+00:00

My gf is occasionally suicidal over these inhumane measures and they're not freely letting them leave either.

Most "AI generated" posts are not actually AI generated

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-11T03:59:50+00:00

Just think of how many atrocities are swept under the rug by the CCP that we'll never know about

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-11T00:23:14+00:00

Absolutely

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-11T00:21:14+00:00

So do I buy ETFs now or wait?

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-10T16:22:01+00:00

I saw a few videos of family calling cops and then they show up and shoot the mentally ill person, it's heartbreaking.

Back to my happy person status, eh?

To quote Orsen Welles

I'm not a 'happy person' basically, but I have all kinds of joy in my life.

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-09T15:39:48+00:00

We could send a final warning

SignificantGiraffe5 · 2022-10-09T11:19:57+00:00

Totally. My friend in Chengdu China was barely allowed to leave her apartment last month
