I wouldn't mind moving to canada since I'm really close to the border anyway. it would be like nothing happened almost

Is this why Elon is pushing for anti-immigration parties in the EU? He doesn't want people to leave?

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 1 day ago

Of course he doesn't want people to leave, how can he be king if all his serfs leave?

Wouldn't that be wonderful, so see the greatest brain-drain in human history. Couldn't happen to nicer people.

Their schools were already orders of magnitude cheaper. Get ready for extreme brain drain!

Completely free. Kind of. It's like less than €200 a year to study at a university in Finland.

This is true only for students from the EU/ETA area: for students from outside it is a minimum of 1500€/year to study in a school of higher education.

Which is still cheap for many Americans.

I'm hoping to get into a pretty well regarded game dev school in Sweden that is $25k USD for the entire degree. Comparing it with anything similar in the US is mind boggling. Schools here are impossibly expensive

University in Sweden is free for swedish citizens, it used to be free for foreign students as well, but since some years ago the universities are allowed to put fees on foreign students. Dont remember the exact details of how it works. Edit: looked it up, still free for people from EU, EES and Switzerland, and people living in Sweden with a resident permit.

Orange Diaper is burning my country’s goodwill to the ground and I’m so happy to see the rest of the world telling us to fuck off, and more importantly fucking with Americas wallet.

Consequences for bad behavior is the only way it ever gets corrected.

It's like someone wished for more European defense spending but to the monkey's paw

The US wants better European militaries in case we can't help or share, not because we want to flat out refuse to help or share

Instructions unclear, got weapons to defend against the US instead...

Suddenly nobody wants an F-35 anymore.

Maybe if things go poorly Europe will have to come liberate you guys and spread some democracy.

Living somewhere else is quite tempting in a grass is greener way, but it feels like moving out of my house because of pests. What I'd really rather do is eradicate the pests and get my home back. Even if I move, how long until I have to suffer new pests? Meanwhile the more sane of the two completely out of touch parties that comprise my government are like my housemate, and they keep leaving food wrappers and shit all over the place and they refuse to call an exterminator because it would be "cruel". But these no-kill traps ain't doing shit. Figuratively speaking, of course.

Sometimes you gotta move out and leave your roommate alone in the mess, for them to hopefully realize that they are the problem

[–] Lauchmelder@feddit.org 6 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

I couldn't have said it better myself, I will definitely steal that analogy. Moving to another country is such an extreme step, because it means giving up everything I have here and adjusting to new people, new culture, new language, new everything. I'd rather my home stay pest-free.

They look like they’re being told to smile or a family member will be killed.

I've spoken to some Fins and it's being that close to another human being causing that.

/S but only slightly
