Gee, I wonder why people might seek a disaster recovery plan?

    Still haven't seen Flying Squid around here since their departure several months ago.

    This was reported as misinformation, but I have no idea what this means. To me, this looks like a bot talking to a bot. Can other people weigh in and confirm I’m not just ignorant of whatever this is about before I ban what I think are bot accounts?

    It wasn't random and he absolutely did not kill himself.

    Sure, he went insane. And I guess that wasn’t random because he was wreaking havoc all over the place.

    And yes. He’s been planning his suicide for a long time. The fact you didn’t know that means you don’t know much about him.

    Can't blame them, and hope it works out for them. I'm sure most of them won't even end up moving, but just knowing you have the option to leave will relieve a bit of stress, I imagine.

    100%. I'm holding out hope that things can turn around after Trump dies. Vance is violently unlikeable and midterms are looking like a blue sweep at the moment. Democrats aren't the end goal, but at least they're not actively purging the 'undesirables'.

    This shit is so exhausting...

    Anecdotal, n=about 12 or so, but in my little city in NL we have had at least five different families leave the States and move into my neighborhood. The last two years I hear just tons of N American accented English in town, and these folks are not tourists. They are grocery shopping and doing we-live-here stuff.

    Then again, it's fairly easy to come to NL.

    I'm surprised at how few other countries want American immigrants right now.

    It will be really scary if we start filling up a ton of camps, other countries won't be offering refugee status.

    If the US gets even worse (yes there is no bottom things can get even worse) this will create a big refugee problem throughout the world as people flee. It will not be good for your country and it will not be good for mine. So I urge everyone to stand up today to the Trump regime instead of dealing with a big problem tomorrow. You have the power to make a difference just by doing simple things like boycotting Tesla and Twitter. Urge people who are buying an EV not to buy a Tesla and urge everyone you can to stop using Twitter. Switch to Bluesky!

    I've been hearing a lot more American voices lately in the English city I live in (not London). Not all are tourists.

    I left for non-political reasons over a decade ago, but since Covid, I've gotten a number of queries from acqaintances and friends in the States about how I did it (hint, without over-disclosing-- my path isn't one that'd probably work for you).

    Also, don't assume the grass will be greener: fascist parties are on the rise all over the developed world, promoted by the same alliance of billionaires, Putin and neo-Nazis. We have our own local shitstains threatening to burn down hotels housing asylum-seekers and generally behaving like the brutish pigs that they are.

    lol. Get ready for immigration. The people who leave don’t give enough of a shit to fight for this cesspool. It’s gonna take more than not buying a Tesla to change a fascist regime. (Spoiler, it takes violence). See ya soon!
