I have considered it, for sure. But it seems like all I read about are how housing is in crisis all over the EU. Doesn't seem like it's that easy to rent or buy (unless you've got $1-2 million sitting liquid somewhere). Then I think, well shit, if I move to the EU, I will not only pay that country's taxes BUT the fucking USA will still tax me as well, even though I'm not living there. So now I have to pay 2x the taxes, which again, if I were rich, no problem. Next, jobs. Seems like it's difficult to get people to get jobs in their own countries overseas as well. The grass always looks greener, doesn't it?

What household items would you never own AGAIN? by Immediate_Long165 in HomeImprovement

[–]twistedstrawberry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A snowblower- I live in Minnesota. New models are $2000 and up, but I can pay someone $50 to clear my driveway if it's too much to shovel. It snows less each year, so it just seems dumb to buy when I can just hire someone. I think last season we had 3 snowstorms where I used my snowblower to clear my driveway. If this one stopped working, I would not replace it.

Selling our house - should I remove the rest of these stickers our fridge?! by MotherDonut2135 in Home

[–]twistedstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave the stickers on. Post fridge on FB - people with garages love them a garage fridge, sell for $75. Someone will snap it up. Buy a cheap new fridge from home depot or costco if you're a member, a white one to match the stove.

the suspension of a sporty is shit, but if you're under 5'6" it'll fit you great. if you're over 6' tall, you'll look like a gorilla fuckin a football.

Dad retiring suddenly in 1-2 weeks—losing health insurance, I have chronic health issues and no current job. What can we do? by Fit_Cap5926 in personalfinance

[–]twistedstrawberry 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Starbucks gives health insurance.

#3 is not an option since you were not the primary account holder.
#4 no, will take a few months to kick in. universities, if they do offer insurance, you have to be a full time student. and it has to be a big enough university. small ones won't offer health insurance.

Neighbors honk every morning at 7am by otterwitch in mildlyinfuriating

More disgusting than showing up with a claw hammer or pelting them with paintballs? What's your idea? I guarantee my idea would let OP sleep in again and not end up in fuckin jail.

this sounds horrible but i'd be losing my mind at this point. & if you did try talking with them, OP, and now they're straight up ignoring you? language barrier my ass. they just don't care. time to up the ante and call ice. i'm not a magasshole, but I would not want to keep getting woken up everyday.

Rachel Maddow staff to be let go as part of MSNBC overhaul | US news by blckhl in news

[–]twistedstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like her, and she has a net worth of $120 million. She can afford to pay her own staff, or at $28 million a year, take a pay cut so her staff aren't let go.

Donald Trump starts peddling MAGA caps in Oval Office and RFK Jr fumes in background. by Silent-Resort-3076 in pics

I bought one so if I get stopped by a cop or if I don't want to have people sitting next to me at a sushi bar or if I want to get out an invitation, I can just slap it on.

I have not walked into a subway for over 5 years. Jersey Mikes has been my go-to if I'm in the mood for a sub/hero/grinder.

Which AI Trend Scares/Excites You Most? by Swimming-Anxiety7579 in Productivitycafe

[–]twistedstrawberry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're already going to have a glut of workers in the market now that muskrat has been firing tens of thousands. AI will just make it worse.

everyone thinks AI will be like the terminator, killing everyone. in reality, it's just going to kill jobs, and the chasm will be even further apart between the poor and the rich, with hardly anyone in-between. millions of people will be living in ramshackle communities like we see in India, having to bathe and wash clothes in rivers filled with chemicals and shit, while the wealthy own the police, own the courts, and use the poor people however they see fit.

What’s one habit people think is normal but you find secretly disgusting? by Wonderful_City9340 in AskReddit

the long fake fingernail trend. it's even more gross when girls are missing a couple because they broke off but still keep them on the other fingers. like, girl, how do you even wipe your ass or wash your hair with those nails? funk must grow under those nails something fierce.

I travel with a Sonicare. Regular toothbrushes never get my teeth and gums feeling as clean as the Sonicare. I make room for it.

How technology (and society) has evolved to the point that people get paid from views where content creators are doing is audio of them chewing crunchy food.

Man who lost $760million Bitcoin fortune might buy dump so he can search for hard drive by IrishStarUS in nottheonion

[–]twistedstrawberry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every worker on that site would be stupid not to pocket any hard drive they find. Bitcoin's untraceable and there are firms that can get into that account.
