  • Checked and found that US citizens don’t have inherent right to work in EU - it’s only easier to travel, not to settle down.
    And speaking of renting - it really depends. If we’re talking about Copenhagen, it is expensive, the market is broken (thanks AirBnb), and it’s really hard and expensive to move in. I burned through my savings and owed some money to my employer before I could invite the rest of my family into a freshly-rented apartment. But if we’re talking about “a bed under a roof”, it’s super easy to find a room on FB Marketplace, and live with a couple of other internationals.
    So if it’s just about “getting out of US” (crazy, I never thought it would be a thing, I’m sorry for them), then finding work is a must, but in a big city you usually can find something. It’s only hard to find something nice and permanent










  • Still Project Zomboid, it’s been like 10 years. The game have evolved, and current unstable version includes a lot of completely overhauled mechanics. I’ve seen some bugs, but those guys know their job, so even a “buggy” content works better than some “released” other games.
    Recently got Green Hell, and this is one of the best survival experiences I’ve seen. Basically you are dehydrated, starving, and infested by parasites in South American jungle, but on a good side, you have some meat to fry if you won’t die before you’ll manage to make fire.


  • This is crazy - I moved out of Russia partly because it has “shitty” social system, but in comparison it is not shitty: disabled people get their meds/treatments, even if it is something basic/shitty. And they get disability checks (again, just enough to not starve, but this is something). There is some idiocy like people having to confirm they still don’t have legs every few years, but you won’t lose your status completely.
    In Denmark where I am now, you can get most sophisticated treatments, social workers coming and everything. there are downsides (like long waiting times for everything - people die before it’s their turn to get cancer treatment), but I can say I’m more sure of my old years where I’ll be “falling apart” and depending on others.
