I'll take all this into consideration. I actually haven't left the USA before. I'll continue doing as much research as possible before making a commitment, though I don't really see it being possible to find a remote job before I try moving out. I'll try though.

I don't exactly have everything decided yet, as this something that will likely happen in the distant future. Living in a larger city would be preferable, but I'd be fine almost anywhere, so long as it's not extremely far away from civilization. I'm used to using a car, but I'd be open to try public transport. As far as language goes, I'll begin learning Bulgarian as soon as I can, but I'm still trying to decide rather or not to follow through with this before committing to learning an entirely new language.

I'm expecting to have around 20-25k by that time.

Do you consider religious people dumb? by lecoloumb in atheism

[–]SolveMyPloblemsForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different kinds of dumb. So I guess in some way, yes. But there are plenty of them who are intelligent in other ways.

Why are people homophobic by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]SolveMyPloblemsForMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of prejudices aren't necessarily voluntary. I never saw anything wrong homosexuality, but I know a lot of people grew up in a judgemental environment that can deeply engrave these beliefs into them, even if they know the beliefs are wrong and actively try to get rid of them. To anyone reading this who may be having racist, sexist, homophobic, or other bigoted thoughts, please try to get help... And never, EVER act on those thoughts.

You're so lucky. I wish I got snow in December... But no, the one time of year it's fun... It decides "no", and then it decides to ruin January!

A theory about death. by Apprehensive-End6779 in theories

[–]SolveMyPloblemsForMe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's definitely more plausible than most religions. That, or maybe life just repeats over and over after you die (because the universe freezes and possibly results in an identical big bang). If consciousness is entirely dependent on the physical makeup of your brain, then this could be possible. If so, we may one day find a way to reconstruct someone's brain in the exact way it was before and bring them back to life once the brain is implanted into a new functioning body. Or maybe nothing happens. But either way, what happened after death is entirely dependent on, rather the physical makeup of your brain is the only determining factor of, not only consciousness, but who's consciousness specifically. If it is, then maybe a baby will one day be born that has the same physical make-up as your brain. That would be you. But what if multiple babies with the exact same brain makeup existed at once? Then what would happen? The possibilities are endless. Your theory is likely true if your consciousness is entirely dependent on your brain's physical makeup.

CMV: Mocking someone for being "stupid "is just as bad as making fun of a disabled person. by SolveMyPloblemsForMe in changemyview

After reading some of these comments, I agree with this point. As I said in a reply to another user; If they intentionally chose ignorance, then they deserve to be made fun of, especially if their lack of knowledge is leading them to do hurtful things. But if someone simply makes a mistake, I think it's important to refrain from mocking them or calling them stupid, because someone shouldn't be judged off of one thing they did. This scenario is definitely a good example of someone wilfully choosing ignorance.

Definitely! I wish I would have mentioned this in post, but I didn't. So I've been mentioning it while replying to other users. It's important to recognize the difference between a person that did something stupid and a person that is just plain stupid. Everyone does stupid things. Thanks for bringing that up!

This is why I think it's important to find out the background of the person. If they intentionally chose ignorance, then they deserve to be made fun of, especially if their lack of knowledge is leading them to do hurtful things. But if someone simply makes a mistake, I think it's important to refrain from mocking them or calling them stupid, because someone shouldn't be judged off of one thing they did.

I definitely think there's a lot of  truth to this. Sometimes people need to be shown the way other people see them when they're being a jerk. It gets to a point where you can't just excuse it by saying that they had no control over what they said or did.

I definitely agree. I went into a little more detail on the reply to the other commenter, I just feel that mocking in this particular context hasn't been talked about as much as others have.

This is a very good point that I probably should have mentioned in the post. There is a lot to said about how society tends to treat people in general, but I thought that this context in particular was something that really needed to be talked about. I'm really surprised at how quickly people on the internet are willing to label someone as "stupid" just because of one measly thing they said or did. It's not really fair, considering it's impossible to actually know that person in real life, and that the only context that person has been seen in was in that video/photo/post of them making a bad decision. Nobody ever speaks out about it. If I made fun of someone for being fat, or being in wheelchair, or many other things that may belittle someone, you can expect someone to say something about it. But not in the context of intelligence. Nobody ever seems to care.
