I wonder if they're going to fix the issue where you can't fucking adjust the editor's UI scale in Linux: https://discussions.unity.com/t/no-ui-scaling-for-linux-you-gotta-be-joking/1638248/53

One of the most basic things you can have yet they don't and it makes it impossible to use on some displays

Jfc, do you have a source on that? I'm going to be so fucked if that's the case

Nvm think I found it: https://taxfoundation.org/blog/us-remittances-tax-big-beautiful-bill/

Just a few weeks away and I'm moving from the US to Sweden. Please US dollar, hold value long enough for me to get a bank account and transfer everything

Tell me you've never been to a national park without telling me you've never been to a national park 😂

Of all the opportunities I've had to tell someone to touch grass this one is the most fitting. Fam I'm sorry you've forgotten to go outside but self care is important and I think you could benefit from touching grass

What nature areas are you going to? The US sucks for a lot of reasons you can pick from. No need to make stuff up too

The US is gigantic we've got something for everyone here. In particular there are massive national forests with trails of any size you can think of (the Palouse Cascades trail goes from Seattle all the way to Idaho it's 300 miles long, the Appalachian trail takes months to hike the full distance). We've also got a lot of different cultures to explore, foods to eat, and history to see.

For sure don't come here currently our government is dangerous and we don't deserve tourist money. There are lots of reasons why someone might want to come to the US though.

I started but then going through a divorce and a never ending battle with insurance has sucked the life out of me :/ When I was more active with it though what I was learning seemed to really click. Maybe it's a motivation thing but it was a lot smoother feeling than my attempts to learn Spanish or German

I don't know how much a game dev immigrant in their 30s can help but when I get there I'll fight along side you if we need

I know it isn't the front line, but I'm moving to Sweden in a few weeks to escape getting murdered for being trans in the US. I just want to feel at home somewhere but more and more it feels like I'm going to have to die trying to give that feeling of safety to the next generation

This is great news but I'm curious what it's going to take for your underwear to fly off

I've always wanted to see a reef, a major bucket list item for me. I worry I never will at this point, or if I do I'll just be seeing a graveyard

That's a bad take. Independence should be in the view of the people living there. I'm not going to gauge if Taiwan is a country based on if I can convince the US to recognize them, that's nonsense garbage logic

Nah I'm too trans to be let in even as a conscript. They would rather just kill me domestically 🎉

I'm from the US setting things in motion to move out. Is this going to start affecting my ability to get to other countries? Like if there is a travel ~~warning~~ advisory for coming here maybe other countries don't want me traveling to them either? If so how much time you all think I have? I have stuff set in motion for 4-6 months from now but I'm worried I'm going to have to bail early which would hose my finances...

I feel like we're standing on top of a melting glacier labeled ww3 that's going to flip any second now but we're not entirely sure when. Not saying Japan shouldn't be in control of the means to protect themselves. We're just in a dangerous situation with the US going batshit while having so much global influence, lots of contries' relationships with each other feel in flux

Hmm, well looks like it was a typo of 'polycule'. But yeah most my social circle was people I was romantically or sexually involved with, I did also lose a couple of friends though too. It's been a little over a year at this point and honestly I have not recovered from it. I lost four relationships that were 2-3 years each, a couple going on a year, one that was a few months but incredibly moving for me, and then the marriage was nearly 13 years; all of them broke up with me basically one after the other over the course of a couple months. I feel like I've been emotionally hollowed out and while I've always been tired of this country I now also feel tired of the people here

Unfortunately I don't think it is going to die out, I think it will need to be rooted out at the cost of lives. The feeling safe part is important but I've been living my true self a while now. I make an active effort to not pass too well so that other trans people who feel they can't show themselves can see me and know there are others around. That was important for me early on so I want to provide that. Has led to some less than stellar interactions though even in Seattle...

I was actually just starting to root here, for the first time in my life I felt like I could settle in somewhere. Then my polycyle imploded, lost most my friends, divorce, job is getting worse every day. Leaving the US has always been a dream of mine but I felt tied here most the time. Losing my entire social circle created a convenient opening
