        I’d say rising fascism is definitely not perfect. There would have to be some pretty insane incentives to get most people moving there right now. Apart from neo nazi’s I suppose.

        It’s become a fascist cesspool, with cultists voting for an imbecile because they want to “own the libs” even if it means everyone suffers, including them.

        I’m glad you’re enjoying your stay, and I hope it’s as peaceful for you as possible. Some of us are just tired of watching it crumble. My family didn’t leave Germany for this.

        If you honestly expected a different general response to this question given the current US political climate and America’s reputation abroad, I’ve got a highly lucrative meme coin to sell you.

    In the Star Trek Deep Space 9 episode “the pale moonlight” do you think Captain Sisko was justified in attacking and blaming Garak for his involvement of the Romulan Ambassadors assassination to help push the fake intel, even though Sisko knew the exact lengths Garak was willing to go due to his time on the obsidian order? Considering if it was the only way to successfully bring the romulans into the war against the dominion?

      Not being able to smoke anywhere in any building (I know, bad for you and all). You can smoke anywhere in France. Also the metric system is what I learned so that makes measurements and numbers strange. I miss my family the most but I get to see them often actually.

          Uhm, that’s not true. You can’t smoke in buses, supermarkets, cinemas, etc in France. Don’t know what op is referring to.

              I suspect op hasn’t set foot in France since the early 2000s, if ever. Smoking in public places has been banned since 2007

    I have a couple questions:

    • How long ago did you move?
    • Did you movie city to city, village to village, or some combination? Did the place in France and the place in the US have a similar environment?
    • A couple things you notice good? A couple bad?
    • Any plans of moving back?
