Insane

You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to immigrate to the US and get sponsored by an employer, I was subject to this process, I would know. The unskilled visa category is impossible to get, these are low paying jobs that require no school or practice. The skilled visa category or H1B requires a bachelor’s degree, that’s at least 4 years of school after high school, you still have to be sponsored by an employer after you get your degree, which means you have to prove you’re exceptional enough and worth the time for the employer to go through immigration bureaucracy/complicated administrative processes. And guess what, after all that, you’re still considered a temporary resident, you won’t get a green card or citizenship.

Besides the far-right parties, I'm afraid Russia will start testing NATO's defense promises in Europe. What prevents them from doing so? America and Europe better hope China and Russia start collapsing soon because we don't have much time left with these incompetent idiots. Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and JD Vance are terrifying, have you ever been driven in a car with a person who can barely keep it in its own lane? These people are terrifyingly incompetent. I almost want to cry when I remember these people have important defense roles in our governments. They're not gonna defend shit. These are just more reasons to federalize, something we're not going to do. Idiots, complete and utter morons. If I were Russia I would launch a missile towards the Baltic states, and count on Trump's ignorance to dismiss it as an accident, a very safe bet IMO.

Everything you listed is better in Europe, people move to the USA because of the opportunity, business-friendly environment, better socialization, and higher wages. Life in the United States is more exciting and thrilling, whereas Europe's more balanced and peaceful. To be like the USA, Europe needs to federalize, adopt a similar language among the union countries. It needs to have its own local globalization effect, where each country prospers due to increased connectedness and integration with the other, but it's never going to happen. Some countries seem to be more eager to leave to union instead of further integration. A grave mistake, far-right parties are on the rise here, these parties are insanely isolationist, It doesn't take 10 minutes of thinking and contemplation to understand where isolating your economy leads. If these countries really do end up isolating themselves, I'm afraid Europe won't be a good place to live anymore, in more ways than ever. Example: BREXIT Germany's Afd Party will end up degrading the entire continent America is also isolating itself, so we'll see what happens, maybe the West will burn together TLDR - These far-right isolationist parties are brewing a shit storm that's coming to the EU, similar to what Leo called the "political winter"

Ok private message me Also at what age did you leave?

So I’ve been given an opportunity to go study in the States, which could lead to a green card/permanent residency later on. My country has pretty mediocre opportunities for almost everything in life, and I still haven’t burned through my socialization karma. The biggest city is about 750,000 people in a pretty non-scenic part of the country, the nightlife is questionable, some people have said It’s good but my personal experience doesn’t match that. I feel like I’m denying myself future opportunities and benefits because of this attachment. This lack of opportunity really shows, because the population of the entire country is about 3.9 million, and we’re losing about 10% of our population every 10 or so years. There are also things even a small European country like mine does better than the US, like safety, healthcare and cleanliness because America is a dirty ass place. I’ve been grappling with this issue for a long time. I would very likely be studying somewhere in California or Texas. As it’s much cheaper there.

How was it at the very beginning when you moved?

I was hoping you’d reply as I was quite sure you left somewhere from Eastern EU to the UK before Brexit, I might be wrong though.

Where do you go?

You know that the whole country is pretty much dead during the summer besides the Adriatic part. I guess I haven’t been there yet, I traveled the whole world that I kinda forgot about my own country. There are also many benefits to living in the States, yeah I can come back during summer but as the guy above mentioned, college tuition is expensive so i likely won’t have the time or money to go back every year.

My dreams were always to live in the States, but as I’m growing older I’m liking my own country more and more. Especially now that I’m presented with the opportunity to go, I’m hesitant, and this is my main issue. America has this really unattractive hustle culture that’s constantly in the air. Something that not even Germany has, never mind Croatia.

I don’t speak German, it wouldn’t work. What question is what the hell should I do?

I would rather support the former nazis (bmw, vw, merecedes, audi) than a 2025 wannabe nazi Elon Musk He did it to himself with that salute in actuality he’s not a nazi but he’s imposing his billionaire will on the government, even if he did everything correctly, what gives him the right to do anything? The American people never voted for him. His main shtick is smaller government & getting rid of regulations he and his companies have to comply with. I would rather buy that Chinese jumping car than his shit, Fuck him and fuck Tesla.

Do you have anyone similar to Vlad Vexler who discusses mostly American politics instead of Russian? I have taken a liking to his insights.

He should've called himself McBeast cuz he's the McDonald's of social media

"They don't take our cars⎯and we take almost everything from them" America has about 8 or 9 car brands, 7 of which are completely irrelevant and don't even make diesel-powdered vehicles, the Europeans mainly drive diesel. Is this guy actually mad that people are buying Mercedes, BMW, and Audi instead of Jeep, Chevrolet, and Cadillac? He can't even use his head properly, he's an absolute dumbass. Somebody needs to tell him this shit. We buy iPhones, use Google, Facebook and Amazon every day. And we don't complain. There are no EU phone companies, EU search engines, or EU-owned Worldwide e-commerce stores like Amazon.

This is false, Poland is not degenerating into a 3rd world country, It's the fastest-growing country in mainland Europe Cruel laws don't make countries degenerate. For reference, Singapore has death sentences for drug trafficking, if you're caught with 20 grams of Heroin or 1kg of weed they're placing you on death row, and Singapore is ULTRA wealthy, It's basically the Switzerland of Asia while being minuscule. If there's a country that is degenerating into a 3rd world country it would be Britain, without London they would be really close.

Give us your formula bro We can't just gene-test every migrant for the likelihood of bad behavior

I think we can agree that "Empty calories" is just a misnomer, nothing can really be empty calories, my point wasn't that it's healthy just that it's usually impossible to pull ALL the nutrients out of food. Not that it matters anyway, it's still bad. The guy in the video says he eats 1500-1600 calories per day, I'd like to see him climb a set of stairs, he's frail, and he's weak even in his most recent video, which is worsened by his caloric intake, no doubt about it. Understandably, a human weakens in old age, but the severity of that depends on what you do while you're young, he didn't do a good job, he can talk about his chestnuts and kale all he wants. If that guy falls due to lack of muscle mass and breaks his hip, there's a 20-30% chance he's dead within a year, there's a 50% chance (approximately) that his mobility will get even worse than it already was, and with that comes a god knows what chance, probably 2x or 3x increased likelihood of falling and breaking a bone again. This is well-documented research. If your 80-year-old grandma falls and breaks a bone 3 times in a year you can basically kiss her goodbye. @Schizophonia will be doing better than him when he reaches his age, and he's putting testosterone creams on his balls That's a serious commitment, better than eating 1500 calories.

You're not living up to your name, where's the sugary part? It's conflicting, a calorie deficit does promote longevity, but so does the muscle on your body, muscle makes you live longer and healthier, and you get the additional benefit of not being weak and utterly useless when you're 60, at which point your ability to gain muscle is handicapped, no pun intended. It's conflicting precisely because you'll have less muscle in a caloric deficit, that's the conflicting part. It's actually pretty difficult for something to be "empty calories" IMO, think about what you're claiming with "empty calories". you're claiming that all the nutrients have been pulled out of the food, which is hard to do even if McDonalds tried to pull the zinc out of their meat with nanobots! Anyway, It's mostly the additives and toxins, that's the shit in a shit diet. They're bored out of their minds with no fulfilling work going on in their lives

The US doesn't need any aid from their allies dude, Russia can't annex half of Ukraine, which is one of the most corrupt and poorest countries in Europe IF NOT the poorest right now. You couldn't wage war against the Siberian tigers in far East Russia, never mind Alaska, The NATO alliance was always one-sided, the US never needed any military help from Europe, and the only benefit they got from it was being closer to Russia specifically Moscow, but Trump doesn't see that. China can't invade the US either, they would be at a massive disadvantage, there's a vast ocean between China and Western USA, and China doesn't have the US surrounded by weapons like the US has China. China is surrounded equivalently to China having Military bases in North West Africa, Mexico, and Canada, but they don't. In addition, China hasn't been militarily involved in anything for fucking years, the USA has. The US is like a 2-meter bully in Middle school, with an imploding bomb inside his stomach which is America's current Republican/MAGA movement. The only way to kill the Americans is to nuke them to shreds, not saying anyone should... But they sure are pissing off everyone right now. Russia won the land lottery, but they won the corruption lottery too which is why it looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_federal_highways#/media/File:Russian_federal_highways.svg

This is not a dig or an exaggeration, but I never understand a single thing he said, not one sentence, I think Gödel was easier to understand.

Go to Vegas and look for a bearded bald man living in the clouds, Leo's probably up there, maybe grab a sniper

What exactly is this DeepSeek AI a threat to mostly? American business? Get out of here, I couldn't care less, as a matter of fact, I'm happy for them

All this diet, exercise, and sleep stuff can't do much for cancer, It's mostly no smoking and not being obese that helps significantly But he can still get and die from it, resolving cancer will require a significant technological advancement in scanning technology, probably until everyone has the equivalent of an ultraprecise MRI + CT Scan + Ultrasound in their house that they step into every week like it's a normal weight scale Heart disease he's probably offsetting the chances by quite a large margin, likely preventing it entirely. We're all fucked, sorry boys
