Some of my closest friends are people I used to work with in the past. A lot of "work friendships" also died over time but I also moved countries and I never see anyone anymore so keeping many friendships alive remotely is hard

You can rephrase it to: their laws are bullshit

Andor is amazing! two of the S1 clips that I frequently rewatch

yeah teritorial/no tax residency + us llc (or uk llp since its also a pass through entity) is the most common setup for people that are somewhere on the flag theory spectrum as it tends to be the lowest cost option.

I think you are absolutely right on people not seeing the problems. Everyone is aware that something stinks in their respective country but things are going wrong for so long that lots of people are confused. Trump is an excellent outside enemy, Putin has always been one. All the bad things are externalized instantly (energy costs are up because of Putin not because of decades of retarded green policies). Welfare state is falling apart because we dont pay enough taxes, not because its inherently idiotic and corrupt. This just goes on and on.

I think majority of EU population still thinks that their governments will fix their problems with more leftist policies (not realizing that they cant really afford to be taxed more to still eat) or are so far down the apathy hole and just enjoying the good food and wine while it lasts.

One of the problems is also that there is not many places in the world where its really better, at least on easily comparable terms for people to see. And its much easier to put your head in the sand and spread your ass cheeks for Ursula a bit more.

It has been quiet lately indeed

I guess it depends a lot on how long was it frozen and where, anything store bought frozen tends to be shit from my experience, costa rica and madeira are recent examples of that

as i said the thread was open for almost 10years before it got locked. as for how many users I don't really remember. it was a tech forum in a country with less than 2million people in mid 2000s so not big by any standard :)
