I know several people who are here legally but have stopped being activists because they are scared of getting arrested at a protest and then deported because of that bullshit charge. I don't blame them a bit for laying low. I would do the same.
And that's why it's important to show up (literally or figuratively) to oppose what's happening in our country, even when you aren't affected (yet).
I didn't read that tone as overly nationalistic. I read it like someone saying, "My dentist makes bank on wisdom teeth removal." And this person responding with, "Yo, that's wild. Mine doesn't charge anything for procedures like that. You should consider trying my dentist's system."
I didn't get any vibes that the poster above was claiming Germany has the perfect system or the best system. Just that people in Germany don't pay for necessary dental, like in the US.
Idk, though. I've been known to miss subtlety before.
According to my expert knowledge bestowed upon me from my viewings of the movie Happy Feet, the females are all off doing food hunting things while the dudes are keeping the eggs warm during the blizzards.
They wouldn't regardless. The congressional GOP has his spray-tan dick so far down their throats, they'd rather choke to death than admit the emperor has no clothes.
If we ever had hard proof of insider knowledge, my money is on SCOTUS. Both because it's easier to buy a branch of government by colluding with five useful idiots, and because there's a GOAT on the SCOTUS staff who leaks their bullshit to the public.
They can make it as equal as they want--IF they actually align the standards to the fitness needs of each job. But then they might have to admit that office work doesn't require an 8 minute mile.
I had these once. It was psychologically terrible. If you already struggle with sleep or mental health, you're going to have a very bad time living there while you treat the place.
I saw some good advice in the comments as far as diatomaceous earth and freezing. Make sure you look up the actual temps things will need to get to. I recall baking my clothing in my oven at 110 F, or something like that, before leaving the apartment every day so I wouldn't spread them. Ugh.
I ended up throwing out most of my stuff, bagging up anything I wanted to keep but didn't need to access for ~6 months (or whatever their lifespan is) into tightly tied garbage bags with diatomaceous earth inside, and for the remaining possessions, I heated them or sprayed the shit out of their cracks (like wood furniture) with bedbug spray.
Just assume your stuff is infested and treat anything that was in there with you. Don't fuck around. Go full nuclear on your shit after you move out. It's the only way you'll be able to sleep soundly for years.
Best of luck to you. I really hope your living situation gets better. I think I saw your fallback option was loud. I sleep with an earbud in whichever ear isn't smooshed into my pillow. I also recommend those white noise machines that have an actual fan inside (or just a loud-ass fan lol). Even if it doesn't drown out all the noise, it'll cut out a lot and it'll be easier for your brain to tune out stuff. Maybe that's something you can try.
I saw a video of him sitting down to have an earnest conversation with hardcore Trump farmers and they left liking him a lot. He's got that "common sense" Midwestern energy on lock and I can see him gaining a lot of ground with the blue collar and rural folks because of it.
If he has pro-hunting gun views like Bernie, he'll be an amazing pick.
Dumb person question: if it's good practice to do this so things don't go sideways, shouldn't it be a built-in feature/utility/function/whatever?
