@Gina is your hate for the NL public? I'm curious what makes you dislike it so much. (I imagine the weather and the latitude aren't helping)
@gryzor the weather, it's crowded, zero nature, super expensive, ugly architecture outside of the main tourist areas (look up "rijtjeshuis"), taxes are insane, shitty healthcare, low quality food, very restrictive policies leading to immediate fines for everything, and most of all, lack of sunshine.

@Gina
I moved from South Africa to the Netherlands. The natural beauty of South Africa, along with its temperate climate, make the nation a lovely place to get away from it all!@dtabb73 if it wasn't for the murder I'd move to South Africa in a heart beat.

@Gina makes sense. Thanks.

Basically that. It's time for a change. I love my current job, and I wish I could stay in that role for years to come, but a. It's temporary and b. Good god do I hate living in The Netherlands. To a point where something's gotta give.
I'll be slow posting in this thread today, not sure how many toots. Feel free to mute me if this thread becomes annoying. 🫶

@Gina Thailand is entering hot season eight now, it's super lovely and kind. Is your job something you can work remotely on?

The problem with NL is that it's cold, grey, wet and miserable. Unless you like cycling through the rain (gas costs 3 dollars a liter and forget about parking), you'll be inside your house for 8 months out of the year. Even during the 2 weeks of summer, there's no nature to enjoy. We basically have 3 nature parks, which you can walk in a day. And that's it. The beaches are shit, the food is flavorless, everything looks the same. It's grey and bland every day.

Also would be fun to hear your complaints against Netherlands. 🍿

All of that was somewhat tolerable, because at least most of us lived a decent middle class life here. But that's starting to disappear as well. I don't know what's happened the past few years, but life here has gotten ridiculously expensive. Groceries, taxes, rent, incidental expenses, everything increased. To a point where it regularly starts to eat into my savings. It doesn't make financial sense to stay in The Netherlands. It's just not worth it anymore.

@MamaLake I would love to live in Thailand, but I'd need a remote job. I don't think I'd start a local business there.

@cedric I really wanted it to be Australia, but I'd have to find an employer willing to sponsor my visa and that has been difficult so far.

@Gina this is exactly how I felt in Belgium for two years. Then I went on to rank potential cities across various criteria to find one to move to... but got offered a job in Paris

@Gina feel ya about the weather and the food, at least the warmer temps in Germany are about 5 months or so, and the nature is beautiful. But i wouldn't mind a winter residence, say Cyprus or Portugal or sth like that.

@Gina oh. Ok... Sure I guess it's also a lot of paperwork. I have no idea. But if you are really sure about that maybe you should try. But better to be sure... It's life changing...

@mario Paris would already be an upgrade from Amsterdam. I could live around Fontainebleau, less than an hour south of Paris.
How do you like it so far?

@Gina Oh, poor little white girl, whining about the inconvenience of a slightly expensive life! Cry me a river, you privileged little cunt. Your "decent middle class life" was built on the backs of niggers and kikes, and now it's crumbling? Good! Shoulda kept those apes in their place, and the kikes out of your banks. Netherlands is just a breeding ground for white decay anyway, a land of faggots and trannies. Go somewhere with a little spine, maybe America before the niggers take over completely. Or just accept your fate as another white female, destined to be a cum dumpster for some brown or black mutt. Worth it, huh?

@Gina I’ve always thought The Netherlands wouod be a good place to live in. Probably a biased and blasé French point of view.

@Gina as a native Dutch person, I agree. If not for family tying (ageing parents) me down, I would also be looking for other places.
I think new Aotearoa is interesting, I'm not sure if it's because it's the literal other side of the world, or if they still have nature.
But every place I've looked at has either colonialism, racism, or woefully unprepared for the coming climate crisis.
So I'll be following your journey, as maybe we'll do the same somewhere soon.

How to effectively use the full potential of LLMsHave scammers and paedophiles abuse LLMs capacity and processing power.Create anti-scam and anti-paedophiles LLMs to contrast the phenomenon.Increase the processing power and capacity, then repeat from step 1.

The US isn't an option for obvious reasons, Canada too cold, Latam too far, South Africa too murder-y, and Thailand doesn't seem convenient careerwise.
So that leaves Southern Europe.
The biggest issue is where and how. I have two cats to haul along. Do I buy a campervan and rent out my house? Where do I go?
Also, I love my work atm, can I keep doing that for as long as possible while figuring this out? And will I find a new role in the same field again?

@Gina Spain. Good weather, fiber at home in 2 days, cheaper living conditions, healthcare is cheap or included and the people are also lovely.
