How do you ‘meet’ people online?

It’s investing in currencies that very little people actually use as currencies.

Their value is determined almost exclusively by hype rather than how well they function as online cash.

I’m hoping the crazy situation in the US will get well educated Americans and big corpos to migrate to Canada so we can get that free boost to our economy.

It’s very much workaholic here like I imagine it is in the US. I’d be cool to ‘take a year off’ and move to Costa Rica just to see what it’s like. Maybe being less stressed is worth it no matter the lack of infrastructure.

That second paragraph… I know what you mean. I like imagining myself living in Australia or somewhere else that’s warmer but long term Canada will probably be the best place to be for trying to survive climate change.

The main thing that holds us back sociopolitically is probably our proximity to the US.

It’s funny how in these kinds of articles it’s implied that there’s some magic place out there unaffected by corporate greed where everyone is moving to but in reality there is no escape from the rising cost of living.

Other countries have strengths in different places that might be better for some people’s specific situations, but overall Canada’s still obviously a great place to live.

Costa Rica? What’s it like living there?

[–] nikita 3 points 8 months ago

Clothes, furniture, equipment related to hobbies… Most things

Honestly a better question might be what do people prefer buying new?

My bad, Reddit is still owned by an American company but Tencent has a large stake in it since 2019, at least enough to influence the platform into complying with pro-CCP censorship and etc

Wow thank you for your super informative comment!

Yeah that’s possible too. It’s all speculation until the Netflix documentary comes out years later lol
