I just tried it again but for me it doesn't switch automatically. It's quite annoying since I often write local addresses etc between English sentences

It seems with Heliboard you have to switch between languages rather than having it detected automatically. It also doesn't support swiping so not really a replacement for Swiftkey yet, for me at least.

It doesn't seem to answer the "here's why" part

On winecfg you can try the checks on the Graphics tab, it shouldn't break anything. Also, try to change the Windows version. Sometimes either XP or 7 work better. You're right about it being c++, not sure which one I installed, maybe this one: https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist

Install the full Visual Studio runtime and try some different settings with winecfg. People recommend Lutris but for me it never made a difference

I often do surveys online and the American ones always ask this. They like to lump all people who look alike together and don't even bother asking where you're from. They really believe we are split in different species or something.

I've never heard about Peter judging or the gates etc. in all my religious upbringing and didn't realize this was an actual belief.

I just knew this pearly gates thing as a movie cliché, from Tom and Jerry to modern shows copying that idea.

You mean all those Poles coming over every year are not white, or migrating for work doesn't make them migrant workers?

Why Brits and Americans? Every major city has expats.

You go abroad for a job, usually temporarily -> expat

You give up your citizenship to move to another country -> immigrant

No. Retirement age is already higher than the age I'll probably reach, considering hereditary bad stuff. Aside from that, I have no skills and keep getting fired. Not to mention our planet will be on fire by then anyway.

Try to start over. Go to a new place, try to meet new people, etc. I was in a very similar situation and just leaving it all behind helped.
