Next up, Wikipedia (not to take anything away from this horrible development). Full memory hole.
FWIW, I have multiple things I should go to in the USA coming up, and neither I nor my family are willing to risk it. My two (young adult) children and I have dual USA - EU country citizenship. My wife had a green card when she lived with me in NYC for over a decade, but turned it in when we moved back long ago. These facts (let alone what my posting history is like) are just too much for us. We won't risk it.
It's kind of like a plane crash: very unlikely to happen but you are equally unlikely to walk away unhurt.
Thank you that simplifies things. Not sure I want to store everything local, but yeah that's an option.
Although looking deeper into what I found, initially, potentially disturbing about Proton mail, I'm not sure I should rule it out yet.
We have two American families in our 'hood whose husbands/wives are well into their 40s (both moved because of the situation in the States, one has a non-binary child). So, looks like it can be done.
Hey thanks! Massive list, do you have a personal short list? Main thing is I need lots of storage.
Wait what? I was just about to switch to Proton from gmail to avoid giving oligarchs more money and data?
They really supported the fascists?
There is no "EU" passport, only passports of countries in the EU. I'm pretty sure you have to be 18 to attempt to immigrate (although that doesn't stop many teenagers from going for it by working under the table until they can get a legit job to sponsor them, and pls do not think I'm encouraging that!)
There are tons of articles in English about the 30% ruling just search for it. There are two official government sites, again in English, but they are kind of dry.

DM me I'll send you details.
There is zero chance he's kissing the ring. And I agree thinking he would convert Trump would be naive, but I don't think that was it either.
Generally speaking, the last person the orange fascist speaks with gets his attention for X amount of time. He was either doing that about something very specific, or possibly it was more of an intelligence operation, finding out what the fascist's next step around a specific issue is.
Anyway that's based on knowing Alexander fairly well. But, it could also be the other European leaders said to him "hey man, we did our trip to that asshole, now it's your turn!" (the last guess is from my wife, who knows him a bit better/longer than me).
Sneaky yes, but naive Alexander is absolutely not.
No they don't want this, and the West keeps falling for their nuke saber rattling bullshit every time, going back decades. Russia is not going to nuke anyone.
Who says those SIGNT flights are for Ukraine anymore?
Very evocative!
The thing is, the US has 100,000 troops and god knows how much military materiel in Europe. America leaves NATO, you think they are just going to pick up all their people and stuff and go because we ask them to politely?
We need a European army yesterday.
"Apparently?" Really that's the adjective they go with?
We have had these in Europe now for nearly as long as you North Americans. I tend to do daily shopping after work, nice little 15 minute walk calms me down.
But because of this, I was using the scan thing statistically far more than people who don't shop daily. Another important thing is I use my backpack to pack groceries, and in a former life I did a shit ton of back country hiking, so I know how to pack.
I got so fucking tired of 16 year old kids asking to unpack my carefully packed stuff to scan a random number off items (it's not by weight most places here) then trying to pack it back - no no no don't mess with my system - that two years ago I swore off of self check out and only go to the humans now.
Yeah I have to wait in line sometimes, but I figure that evens out for the number of times I was "randomly" checked by some teenager.
At least our check out people can sit down.
Hey, I understood some of that!
Seriously though as a frequent flier thanks for the insight. Airbus for life. Um, maybe literally....
Gen Z, please talk to me: what management works and what does not?
I am an Xer who manages a small but crucial team at my workplace (in an EU country). I had a lady resign last week, and I have another who may be about to resign or I may have to let go due to low engagement. They are both Gen Z. Today it hit me: the five years I've been managing this department, the only people I've lost have been from Gen Z. Clearly I do not know how to manage Gen Z so that they are happy working here. What can I do? I want them to be as happy as my Millennial team members. One detail that might matter is that my team is spread over three European cities.
Happy to provide any clarification if anyone wants it.
Edit. Thanks for all the answers even if a few of them are difficult to hear (and a few were oddly angry?) This has been very helpful for me, much more so than it probably would have been at the Old Place.
Also the second lady I mentioned who might quit or I might have to let go? She quit the day after I posted this giving a week's notice yesterday.
