I thought of applying for benefits, but seeing how my fellow countrymen abuse them ("woo, the stupid Germans give me an apartment and pay me while I also work illegally"), decided not to. Maybe I made a mistake, I sure could use m

I gotta say that EdX and Coursera are amazing - so many things to learn (often for free, but even the paid courses are relatively cheap). Stuff that is better than what our best schools/colleges/unis provide. I'm really grate

> It's not about the money, it's about the principle. Poor people rent things. That's how they stay poor. How would you feel if you woke up one morning and couldn't go buy some eggs from the supermarket until you join

Seems to me that Australian politicians took all those "suggestions" and made them even worse for your own population. Don't blame other countries, your own government are the ones fucking you - I can tell that from experienc

Yeah, for one of the largest communities online, it's a small income. But, they have advertising and sponsored submissions, and I do believe they make more money from that. Gold is practically user donations as far as I see it, it does

I've only lucid dreamed once - that was one interesting experience. Usually, I don't remember my dreams at all, and when I do it's some weird stuff :-D. I also have dreams when taking a 20-30 minutes nap during the day, and I

I assume there is none - Miami and other coastal cities will exist forever and ever (in the minds of those who own its land and properties) :-) I doubt the people of those Greek cities that sunk thought it would ever happen... or they just

It's a good thing they're doing here. I wish there was something like this for migrant workers, who often get treated as bad or even worse than refugees by their employers (yes, even in Germany)...

A simple pop up won't work. At least for me, I tried (simple dialog boxes reminding me I should work off my checklist/To Do). Maybe inspirational videos/audios? A Jedi Shia LaBeouf popping up and saying "yesterday you sa

Does that mean the death of Tapatalk? 'cause I'm all in. Stop pestering me to install your stupid app, I like my browser just fine...

Another good reason to have nuclear power (fusion would be perfect, but at least fission) - it works anywhere, anytime...

Funny that you say that - even Russia doesn't want Windows 10 as the OS for government institutions because it's so intrusive: https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%...

Try Dexpot - still the best virtual desktop manager for Windows :-)

it's not that petty - having multiple windows open in Windows 8 literally hurt my eyes. It's hard to switch between them and find what you need when everything looks the same at a quick glance. Goddamn flat design, it's stupi

I'm also surprised at how many apps need to run in the background. Notepads, music players, file explorers, an expense manager - why would they need to run all the time if I don't even use them and haven't set up any syncing.

Don't forget the tiny arrow keys (also sometimes home/pgup/pgdn/end) bunched up together - what the hell were those designers smoking? :-)

Bet you wouldn't be downvoted if it was any other country :-). I don't like the Russian government, but they have a point - Windows 10 borders on 'insane' when it comes to the user data it shares "anonymously".

Heh, I was comparing that to a "create stuff, do and learn new things, screw normal life, I'd never fit in" mentality, which surprisingly a lot of people don't have. I wouldn't call all of them stupid, though. Stagn

It is different from country to country (Japan is notoriously difficult, afaik). Would getting a UK citizenship pose any similar problems?

I understand that (and it is a big commitment), but if they lived for a decade in a country and like it, why not? Seems like a better option than mucking around with visas and residence/work permits. I mean, this ILR gave them right of

I mean, you do officially swear to protect and serve the country, what it stands for and its people in a time of need, to respect the laws and customs. Whether you keep that promise or not is up to you, but obviously most people (hopefully)

Oh, OK, that is quite expensive. But it would still settle all your worries for the future, I presume.

Why not apply for British citizenship? She seems to fit all the criteria... Living (semi)permanently for years in any country on a visa seems kinda foolish to me, in the end you are the citizen of another country. I know a few people who se

I read Ulysses S. Grant was depressed and frequently drank a lot of alcohol when he was not on active duty. He was brilliant in the field, but quickly fell apart without cannons firing all around. Pretty interesting...

Well, go to job, come home, have a beer, talk shit about other people. Save money and dream of buying house one day. Have a kid. Not too exciting...

You can have only so many teachers before the market is oversaturated. And I think quite a few people will prefer home schooling via online courses.

Africa, yeah, probably the last continent that has huge potential. But won't they just skip the people and go straight to automation? Like how developing countries have the newest Internet infrastructure because it was a no brainer to
