Don’t spoil The 100

You could register on couch surfing, it might be a good place to meet people once you start exploring options in Europe. You can also ask questions and advice, there is also events organised by people so it works a bit like a forum/ social media platform. You don’t have (the intent) to host or stay with someone to use it as as a source of local info: https://www.couchsurfing.com/

Also maybe this is valuable (maybe less if you’re only interested in moving around in the Schengen area): https://www.passportindex.org/passport/united-states-of-america/

Well I’m sure as hell not gonna forget, can they just stop already

I hope so, but if their intent is to commit fraud what is and isn’t legal might not prevent them from ending up with manipulated results

O thought you meant power-broker as in energy-seller, but I guess you mean like being the spider in the web

How do you become a power broker if you are a net-importer unlike Russia and the US who produce more then they consume?

Yes, but in comparison to a federation only the information will survive because it was copied out of the central system, but the system will fail as soon as the company folds. I mean the reason the fact that you need a 3rd party mirror to save the data proves the flaws of the 1st party. This instance for example doesn’t need to be mirrored because it is built on a foundation that already has redundancy built in.

I agree with you about the severeness of this event over the others (except for covid, none of those crises were global for example), but during each of those crises I’ve heard experts say these are things that just happen ‘once every century’ with an example of how that thing happened less than a century ago. Just like once-in-a-century floods, although they are definitely not as global (imagine that!). The only thing thing I haven’t dealt with twice so far is a pandemic, although if you look at what’s happening in the us that might also not take another century.

I hope so too, but my guess is that the most you can get is them trying harder to do it undetected. Gathering, spreading, controlling and using information seems to be their only modus operandi for getting others to do what they want.

My condoleances. I hope your city and state will come out the other end unharmed.

But we also had the banking crisis, the euro crisis, the refugee crisis (which wasn’t necessarily economic), COVID (which wasn’t only economical) then the gas crisis / inflation crisis / cost-of-living crisis or whatever you call what happened in '22/'23 and now we have the Trump crisis / Tariff crisis or whatever you want to call the mess in right now. Sure they are all related in some way just like the world wars were related to the great depress but it sure is not feeling once-in-a-century. Hell, this one doesn’t even feel once-in-a-decade.

Edit: I now see the article writes about a once in a century economic shock, which I would say is a lot less bad than a crisis, but ok.

:( what is you’re country getting?

Cool, so loosely translated 1st day, 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, Saturday, Sunday?? That is amazing, confusing maybe, but amazing!

Either statisticians don’t know what centuries are or someone rigged this one

Even 3 months ago I’d agree with you, but if I see how much unthinkable stuff Trump did get done. Who knows he’ll invade Mexico, kidnaps the gangs and then hires them to take control of Canada’s oil fields & pipelines. Or hires Russians to throw Canadian politicians and oil field owners out of windows until Canada surrenders.

Europe here, we need it too

That sure is a good thing and we’re going the right direction, sure, but globally we are still burning more fossil fuels than ever and also the effect fossil fuels have on the climate take 20 years to kick in (don’t ask me for details IANA scientist), so now we’re experiencing the damage we did until 2005 so yeah brace yourselves

They first need to find more place for hiding their dead bodies

That is a daily struggle now

I know that old tale, bunch of religious people voting for the religious nutcase but when you say ‘the turks’ you imply it’s at least the majority of people but that’s not the case here. Don’t put the blame on the people, if they haven’t been given the chance to vote for their leader in fair and free elections.
