What's his illness?

@Nilsi Razard86 is a gentleman he needs context. that's him in his pfp, so damn sophisticated and wise

Yeah? You're not opposing my claim? Those immigrants are going to DE because Germany is the most orange out of the bunch, there's money to be made. what I mean by ''grinding them to death'' is just that they're overworking them. not without benefits of course. Well that's to be expected, I work at the border where all those people pass by. A small minority of those people (Immigrants) terrorize us (Steal our cars, break into houses) which gives a bad image to all of them, even to the good ones. Its similar to racism in America tbh. I personally don't mind them as long as they stay peaceful. Those immigrants also put money and labor into the economy, I guess it's equal exchange. They can't avoid taxes even if they wanted to, because of VAT. they might be worse off, but from my experience Germans (I don't know about other countries) eat and drink more expensive food/drinks than immigrants. If Germany runs out of food then everybody next to them has already died of starvation When the power hungry stage orange countries run out of resources, we're all pretty much fucked anyways I hope you're right, But I'm pessimistic. especially about that ''intimate relationship'' part, as I'm dying of loneliness trying to find one good looking, English speaking girl I still think the language barrier is a big factor, that plus sky high VAT (Sales tax) rates in Europe aren't attractive to companies. the weirdest thing is, there's not a single EU country exempt from those high VAT rates, not a single one. the lowest rate is Luxemburg at 17% If I'm not wrong. compare that to Texas' 0%. the rates are Fixed as well, not progressive. with certain exceptions like food Personally I think high VAT rates are a good thing as long as it doesn't scare off companies (which it does) But It would be ideal if It didn't. I am patiently waiting for the day EU and US enforce a Luxury tax, Want a $500 Google pixel? that's 20% VAT! Want a $1200 iPhone? 35% VAT! people who want to fill the world with shitty designer clothes and iPhones should pay way more $ for them. Especially pollutants like Phones. (Ewaste) and clothes

To some degree, I feel like this is the most irresponsible thing Leo has ever done. But hey, at the same time let the man live

That would be great I wish I could just go to Germany, Spain, France and make friends, do business, have sex. But I can't do that, because each country has it own unique language and each language requires years if not decades to perfect and maintain. and even If I did learn the language e.x Norwegian, I'd only be able to speak to approx. 6 million people, you might say "But that's way more people then you'll ever speak to!" No actually, that's a small number. You won't speak to every 60 70 80 90 year old and every child in Norway. there's only a few who are interested in whatever you're interested in. on the contrary, If I live in California, I'd have 40 Million neighbors, and 30 million Texas mfs right next to me. Business? check, Dating? Check. A decade of learning a language? Nope. Take a look at business in Europe vs US. EU is much larger than US in Population and especially in size. a yet here we are. If Business is booming in Europe its atomic booming in US The funny thing is, I'm comparing a continent to a country. Europe is better if you're broke or close to broke, but Middle class ppl are better off in US. I'm sure Germany is grinding those Immigrants to death, In fact the country is structured to go easy on its German citizens, but hard on everyone else. Having wrote all that, Live wherever you want in Europe/America, go to Europe and you'll make money, have free medicare, relatively inexpensive collage etc... but you'll have a worse social life. Go to US and you'll have a good opportunity to have a great social life, crazy diverse culture and advantages of large business. but you might get shot on the street for no reason If that's not scary enough, how about your child getting shot in school? again, for no reason.

@Nilsi Well its not necessarily profound, of course I might be wrong, that's just my Intuition after living in Europe for 18 years and traveling around to other EU countries. There's a lack of understanding, Lack of communication. I think that one common language would groom Europe the most. Consciousness goes up when development goes up. otherwise it's just a Union, and that's all it is. What it needs to be is United European Union
-
I think it runs deeper than what Chomsky could ever explain, its not about how one individual uses language. what I'm saying is that the continent is fragmented because of language differences.
-
United States will seem most conscious if you're middle class and above, other countries might have far better politics but its pointless. None of them can beat 330+ million people living together with one common language. I'd call Norway's politics more green, but I'd still bet on more stage green peope living in the US than Norway,Sweden and Netherlands combined Every European country has one big problem holding it back from greatness, Language. It's far more important than it might initially seem. Most Europeans and most Americans don't usually appreciate how powerful it is to have 330+ million people speaking the same language. Honestly I feel like I'm the only person on earth who sees the value In that I wouldn't even consider Asia, China does have more than a billion people speaking the same language, but under communism none of that shit matters

After you finally changed your profile picture to something other than default, suddenly my depression went away

Mostly because I want to live in a English speaking country, nothing special about America necessarily, the Brits have annoying accents, I don't know much about Australia or its culture, New Zealand is at the edge of the world. That leaves only Canada and the US. Why not just... go there? Well moving is a long process, I was planning in getting a Visa through business, a business that I haven't built yet. Unlike my desire to move, my desire for sex and relationships can't wait that long. Any tips? Less legal tips are also welcome.

Where r u from? That's bullshit. I enjoy doing hard things that I'm scared of, not wussing out

Does he satisfy his fetish? How?
-
Any thoughts on CA Express entry?
-
I wouldn't turn down a cute girl because of her British accent, but if I had to choose I'd choose American. There's more to it though, UK just isn't attractive to me as a country. If I'm gonna work my ass off to move to another country, it better be CA or US. UK is too stiff, just like their European neighbors. Americans seem to be dumber on average, which makes them more social on average, I'd fit right in. ? everyone got roasted

Never heard of it, money is not a problem. Where did you live prior to moving? And how long are you allowed to stay? Are you eligible for any extensions?
-
I'm from Croatia and from how much I've seen, it's not any easier to move compared to non eu countries. Though it might be easier to travel to, the problem is staying. Brexit That being said I would't necessarily mind the accent as much as I made you believe, I'd be happy with a British girlfriend. Moving to the UK is still problematic

I'm looking for alternatives to shampoo and shaving cream (which probably means that I'd have to ditch razers too) because I'm having weird reactions to those products, it's mostly itchy eyes but also blurry spots in my eyes, extremely dry skin all around and overall much worse mood during the day of use and or the day after. 1. I need a way to get rid of dandruffs/flakes without shampoo, because I'm having these reactions I grew up hating shampoo products. So I don't shower often, maybe once every few weeks or when I'm especially dirty from mowing the lawn. My day always gets completely ruined because of this shit, so I'm done with it 2 . I'm considering using knives to shave, but I haven't done any research yet. Back when I was a kid I knew a guy who shaved only with knives so I know it's possible. That's where I got the idea from I realized that I'm constantly having negative reactions to modern shit, I was and still am convinced that the healthiest way to live is to live like a hunter gatherer from 20 thousand years ago, no chemicals, no fancy modern food, no shampoo, no shaving cream. Everything that's unhealthy was invented in the last few decades maybe a century. And the only reason why they lived less than us is because they didn't have modern medicine, but they were actually healthier than us in a lot of ways. I tried everything from head & shoulders to old spice and nothing seems to work, everything has the same negative effect. So in summary 1. I need a cheap way to get rid of dandruffs/flakes without using shampoo 2. a way to shave without the use of shaving cream or shaving gel (tried it)

Its complicated, and that's a flaw not a feature. at least in consumers' eyes. You've seen those "Linux users installing a web browser" memes? running commands vs clicking an icon to open a program, there's a clear winner. wisemen say... Linux is free, if you don't value your time. the m1 macbook is great, I admit. but the m2 air, not as much edit: I shouldn't hold strong opinions until its released but that's my prediction
-
how do I do that? any videos planned on work ethic?

I haven't studied internet marketing at all but I'm aware of dark UX design/patterns as it's hard to miss because it always causes such inconveniences. The most recent one I've seen is Google ads in Play store applications. The "x" button for skip AD is extremely tiny, it's most certainly intentional. Anyone who has played an AD supported game on mobile knows exactly what I'm talking about. It's their intention that bothers me, people complained and made memes about it but they still kept it tiny. In fact they made it worse.

Can't say anything about that

Quality food is cheaper than Quality protein powder, I tried Vivo. overrated. just buy some organic Lentils and you're set.
-
What about Tesla's non-existent marketing? They don't really market and yet people keep buying their products anyway. Would you consider that devilry as well? Or perhaps a step up from the usual marketing ways? If I'm presented with an AD for a product, lets say a laptop. and everything about it is presented to me truthfully, is that still devilry? no exaggeration, no lies. still devilry? and lastly, Is there a point in trying to avoid being a devil? since that is literally our nature as ego's/living beings

Linux has the most potential of course, If linux become as popular as windows, It'd be a win for the entire human race. Open source brings so much things to the table. and for that reason I've got no respect for neither Windows or MacOS, both steaming with backdoors Microsoft/Apple built in themselves. that being said I'd never use Linux in its current state, right now... it sucks. For me the question Is usually up to the computer instead of the OS, I'm mostly into laptops, but they're extremely expensive M-series macbooks have great battery life, but don't be fooled. you're not getting much performance per dollar, you are... however getting great performance per watt. in other words Windows laptops are still superior in terms of performance, and cost just as much as the macbooks. p.s don't buy the new m2 macbook air/pro, that thing sucks. My laptop recommendations are either the M1 Macbook for students or a Thinkpad if you want an amazing keyboard. or just about any Windows laptop if you're after performance.
