If you plan to work short term in the US and are foreign born then just don’t get citizenship, just work on a visa.

If you are a US citizen and need to retain your passport or do business in the US you have to do US taxes based on the treaty between the US and your country of residence/work. Renouncing citizenship relieves you of this duty.

Foreign banks don’t report to the US at all. You are required to submit that independently through an FBAR.

It’s explicitly not. 🤣 but i agree with the sentiment.

Depends on treaties. If dual citizenship is allowed and tax liability is reciprocated then it could be a waste of money. But also I’m unsure whether you can ignore tax reporting and travel through the US on a foreign passport after they revoke your US passport.

If you want to go from Europe to south America you’re almost certainly passing through a US hub, at least by air.

Insane you have to pay for the last interaction you have with the US

I think the best way might be the simplest way that achieves a consensus that sufficient nuance is considered.

Or rather, the minimum necessary that everyone affected can use the tool proficiently to meet their needs. Most tools need regular maintenance or discarding, but cat is giving simple, so maybe cat is on to something.

But you just used it as a tool to categorize and explain a wide swath of relationship dynamics. The only thing you needed was to apply it to the individuals instead of the relationship writ large.

I think the cat is in the middle of a lecture too. Maybe that’s the next slide?

“On what grounds”?

Is it wrong to want to choose my friends?

No, it is fine and good. You get to pick friends, that’s the point. Obviously this has some fluctuation, but they should overall be a positive value in your life.

How do you balance doing what makes you happy with maintaining friendships, especially if your happiness and your current friend group don’t line up?

Do what you like and make friends who do that too. Your friends should be people you have fun hanging out with. If the activity is a prerequisite then that’s that.

Any thoughts, advice, or personal experiences would be really helpful.

I do rock climbing, met several fun people at the gym, we climb together now. Good friends. Also took a dance class, meet a couple friends there. I do what I’m interested in and those interests being friends and connections. You can always fall back on the interests/hobbies for activities.

No reason to maintain a friendship simply because of the label/category of “friend” because that’s not really a meaningful relationship.

I’ve changed my mind, I’m ok with kink shaming in some cases

Windows is already occupying your hardware and network with “telemetry”. I would be surprised if telemetry overhead alone was all that was needed to burden modern hardware and yet when i boot into windows those fans never shut up.

Oh no! Not an extra hundred milliseconds to post!

Separate hard drives one for windows and one for Linux+GRUB then grub just needs to be told where the windows boot loader is and BIOS should load GRUB default.

OP post happens when you attempt to just use partitions. It can work per other comment, just more fragile.

I wonder if it changed much in the last year. The assembly implementation is what’s holding me back. Well, that and staring at cad all day at work already.

Not sure where i decided the narrator is unreliable. They say their partner loves it. Two people happy in a relationship. An example of how one problem solved to meet the needs communicated by the other. The result being positive. That’s just reading what’s written. I don’t see where i made something up. I provided examples of types of people who may use a logic like this but didn’t prescribed it to op.

Not a dynamic for me but i wouldn’t gawk at someone for feeling fulfilled in it. I get the humor that it’s expected to be considered demeaning.

DDG performance has dropped for me. I use a mix of their app and Firefox loaded with a searxng.

Works like old Google, No ads, tends to reduce SEO sloop that DDG is susceptible to.

Unhealthy would be if you as the other in the relationship (the one seeking affection here) were not ok with this and tried to change it. It Doesn’t sound like the relationship with the dog is negotiable.

I wouldn’t be happy in that relationship because i need emotional mutuality/reflection, which is clearly muted here. But the two partners here are obviously fine with it.

I don’t mean to diagnose anyone but this is fairly common for both trauma survivors and neurodivergence. Animals are just going to always be safer than people for some folks, and those folk also deserve love.

It must be because they envy our wealth and despise our freedom.

Controlled media, victim erasure, these passengers are taking selfies with biden.

It’s just healthy adaptation. They care for their partner so they found a way to meet their partner’s needs that isn’t overly burdensome.
