I know exactly what you're talking about. I had a few of them many years ago while in college. At the time, people would use them to make sure their laptops wouldn't make sounds when turning them on during class. I'll post an update if I find them.
I'm in a similar boat and was considering moving to Ireland or Chile. In the end, I couldn't overcome the immigration requirements, so I decided to just move to a better state within the US. Not sure if it's the best option, but maybe that could also improve things for you.
Please stop spreading this misinformation. 4wd/awd does not make a car safer in the snow. Winter tires do. A 2wd with winter tires will perform better than 4wd by a long shot.
This was an interesting conversation, but I'm still not sure I understand what it means to be a Satanist. It seems that I align completely with what you describe as non-theistic Satanists, but I just consider myself a left-wing atheist. What's the difference between that and a Satanist?
I have no good suggestions, just wanted to say I feel the same way as you do. I want to believe the human quality of life on average is better than it's ever been, but if I look at unfiltered media it's all doom and gloom. I've now completely stopped watching/reading news because of what it does to my mental health. Even then I still end up finding out about things.
