  • I wouldn't say I did it with no problems but you can certainly do it, as long as you have everything align for you and you have what ever the people in power want šŸ™‚

    I lucked out but many of my friends have no such opertunity.

  • Sure everyone wants their own personal castle.

    I just think people can just have some slightly less nice things, maybe instead of buying a f150 truck get a small utility vehicle, stuff like that.

  • Your first comment made me think I would not agree with you but you have won me over.

    I come from South Africa and watching the Dutch and the amount of resources that goes to just cleaning up from a single town party it's clear that so much more can be done.

    Third world countries aren't under developed they are overly exploited.

  • Exactly what I'm saying.

    The best thing is most developed countries are suffering from an aging population, they actually need the immigrants, without them long term the country has a downward spiral coming.

  • I'm a South African who has used every ounce of privilege I could to escape to the Netherlands.

    100% I don't deserve it I have so many friends back in South Africa, some who have doctorates that would be way more deserving than me.

    I am only here due to being privvilaged enough that I could run away while affording all the complications that come from immigrating.

    Where I come from we have a ton of uncontrolled immigration, it's only dangerous is you don't look after the desperate people who need help and especially dangerous when you try isolate them.

    When your neighbour is suffering it doesn't matter how big your wall if you will suffer along with them.

  • Situations like this is why countries need to setup safe immigration routes.

    Do you think it's just due to the amount of users?

    This is very true, pretty much exactly what enterprise code is.

    • Is there a way to block communities by using a regex?

  • Sounds like a fantastic feature request.

    Have you had a look if there is one already?
