  1. Are they at least dressed like nurses? Asking for a friend.

  2. They cannot turn this around. There is just no way aside from erasing season 1 and starting over. It is bad by design, and its not just a Guyladriel problem.

  3.  @opalescentlump4621  Driving off in a van is not really giving her a choice. What would you like the kitten to do? Get in her own van and follow?

  4. The fact that Sweden has an Islamist party (Nyans) says it all. Let's hope the victory holds and did not come too late. That is the problem with the "idiot bloc" in voting, they often notice problems too late to fix them. Same in the US with "traditional democrat voters" who apparent cannot or will not notice that their party is insane and its policies are destroying the country. They may wake up, but will it be in time?

  5. That is literally how and why America was founded. I admire the stay and fight crowd. Each to his own I say. Also GW Politics surveying republicans is just silly. Its called push polling.

  6. Nothing in the US is solidly red, sorry to say. Californians will trash several western states as they flee, and stupid will kill the rest of the remaining red areas. Sometimes it just takes one big college town to flip a low population state blue. Its sad. Lets all call Andrew now. we can pool the all the coins in all our couches and pretend we are one huge family looking to stay together and move together.
    60
  7. The fact that people like Joe Biden says it all. The guy has been a political sleezeball since the Jurassic era.

  8. I am female, but even I am considering opening a branch in Serbia haha.

  9. The juice is worth the squeeze, I like this expression. I have never heard it before.

  10. Sauron and Galadriel had a romantic moment. Words fail me.
    48
  11.  @tiagoalest6425  Unfortunately this is not the Galadriel presented by the actress playing her. At all.
    45
  12. If the US were to implement a 15 percent across the board flat tax it would indicate more than just a tax rate change. It would mean there was a change in the mentality of the people, and that this change in mentality had resulted in a substantial change in the government and bureaucracy (one that I would support wholeheartedly). So it would make me want to stay not just for the money, the money would actually be the least of it.
    37
  13. These ladies will just play the race card and move on. Works every time.
    29
  14. In the West you generally aren't the customer for healthcare, some third party is. Sometimes more than one third party (in the US its an insurance company + government). Therefore its expensive and it sucks. Paying directly for services is the only way to be treated best.
    26
  15. I think the US has some serious social and structural issues, but in no way do I feel its passport is equivalent to Rwanda LOL. I get that it sounds good in a vid but come on. I have yet to travel as a St Lucian, but the US passport beats my other one (Argentina) by miles. My issue with the US isn't that it has a bad travel document, its the rest of the baggage.
    25
  16. Uruguay is closing its borders to everyone - including residents and passport holders, read that again because its crazy - until Jan 10. Just a little window into where we are going as a planet. St Lucia's passport is looking better and better, we all need travel documents from places that are small and not super reactionary and/or organized about stuff. Closing borders to passport holders is really concerning.
    25
  17. Yeah we recently went to a Disney destination wedding (yes, that is apparently a thing) between 2 adult shims and zirs with no kids. Every ride ends with a shop where you can use your "magic band" to buy Chinese made crap with the theme of that ride. Businesses exist to make money, but it was so obvious and heavy handed at Disney that I found it really unattractive. I won't be going back any time, but the zir shim wedding pair have a Disney timeshare, which is really a weird points system designed to (wait for it) hoover more money out of your wallet as fast as possible while providing as little in return as possible.
    25
  18. Yeah they are going to Texas, bringing more drones from California to flip that state to stupid.
    25
  19. I went to a German university near the end of the time of 2 Germanies. One day when we were at a local shop (in a big city) my friend received a Nazi pfennig as change (with one of those eagles with a swastika on it, from I believe 1938), as part of a completely normal sales transaction. Apparently it had been floating around the money supply for 50 years, still being used as legal tender. I have no idea what she did with it but it was really something odd to see!
    24
  20. Zero Canadians I know were surveyed in this poll. So its probably 75% of Canadian bureaucrats in Ottawa. Not that it matters, you are right, they will do it.
    24
  21. I used to model back in the 1990s. The fashion industry was heavily gay male dominated back then, especially stylists and designers. I always thought this had something to do with the boyish shape they preferred. Also, skinny girls with broader shoulders show the clothing, not the girl. Most of us were built like clothes hangers because duh, the clothes look better and that is what women are buying *off the rack in a shop*. Back in the days when clothing was made to measure I am sure it was different, you can see that the models in the 50s looked quite different and less hanger-like
    23
  22. Everyone from Argentina is that guy you don't want to be with a safe full of unreported dollars, LOL.
    22
  23. It also comes with a really nasty side of SJW nonsense, which makes it even worse.

  24. I had an office (a branch office sort of thing) in NYC and it was constant fighting with the state. The last straw was when THEY made an error in our payroll taxes and sent us a fine. They claimed to fix their error, and sent a letter to that effect. About a year later they sent us an invoice for 1.8 million dollars in "fees and fines and penalties" for the same error (their error, not mine). This took another year of time (MY TIME) to clear up. The result was that I decided to close the NY branch. I would do business in hell before NY. Hawaii (where every "aloha" and "mahalo" you get costs $50 bucks) and California were benign compared to NY for me.
    21
  25.  @andycommonsincanada  Florida, like everyone else haha.
    21
  26. I know, right? Its totally worth 10-20% inflation and the loss of the dollar as reserve currency to get the bigmouth from Queens out of the Oval. When I am donating plasma to buy beans I will be able to sleep peacefully knowing we are once again polite (ish).
    20
  27. We had stagnation under Obama, with a massive increase in regulations. And we nationalized 1/6th of the economy. I agree with Andrew that I don't care about who the president is, but I do care about what the electorate coughs up because it tells me who the voters are. Biden is a big sign for me, if he can be elected this is not a place that will prosper in the future. People are easy to manipulate, poorly educated in government schools, and collectivist minded. Not for me. People here in DC cheered when Biden was elected, because he is just a figurehead for the swamp. If you like the swamp fine, apparently many do, but lets not lie about history. That is dangerous.
    20
  28. I would add that you request all of your necessary documents today, I am working on paperwork for my American husband and its a bit of a mess right now. The times to receive birth certificates, marriage certificates and police background reports can be long depending on where they are (it goes by the state in the US, so you may have to contact multiple municipalities, none of which will treat you best). Then there is the apostille process - but get a few copies of your personal documents - it will save time once you call Nomad Capitalist to help you move abroad.
    20
  29.  @dsteere2303  It's not just "the jab". It's a jab every 270 days in many places to be considered "fully vaccinated". Keep jabbing, I am sure it will work someday.

  30. I just got my US Passport recently, haha. This channel makes me feel like an idiot.

  31. Uruguay is basically Argentina's Canada (with various tax benefits designed for people from Argentina and beaches). We all talk about it like Americans talk about Canada. So clean! I'm moving there if this place (Argentina) doesn't shape up! (PS Argentina is not shaping up). Every once in a while a whole bunch of gringos become obsessed with the place for some reason (Travel and Leisure magazine spreads of Jose Ignacio maybe), and they all threaten to move there. I have residency in Uruguay, but the country locked us all out during the virus wave 1, including passport holders. You needed a special permission to come and go from your own country, sort of like Canada and Australia. So yeah, Uruguay, its a little like the CUNA countries Andrew hates as far as rules and paperwork. And Uruguayans are organized and pretty low on the corruption scale so you will be doing the paperwork and following the rules. Unlike some other locales which seem worse but where small gratuities fix everything.

  32. Not having a firearm ("unarmed") does not make a person not dangerous. People kill people without using a firearm all the time, and angry, strong, young men are particularly good at it.

  33. I recently had a double mastectomy for breast cancer. It is a very lengthy, involved and painful surgery. I cannot believe we live in a world where this procedure is now being pushed on the weak minded general public in this way. Well, I do believe it, it is 2023. What have we become?
    19
  34. Santiago de Chile just elected a 30 year old proud "openly" communist woman as mayor. Something is going on in Argentina/Uruguay/Chile that is not good right now. Well Argentina is never good, but the other two are disappointing.
    18
  35. Here in the US it has been going on for decades. I cancelled TV ages ago because I just could not take "the current message" being pumped into my house in the guise of entertainment. My tolerance level is about zero these days, but it does seem to work on most people where I live - they do get programmed by the idiot box in the corner, and then they run their scripts and recite their talking points until they receive new programming. It is creepy. Oh, and they vote from their couches now, so the fabric of society and its laws become something inspired by Law and Order: Special Victims Unit episode 10498, the Kardashians, and Tik Tok. Its pretty bad over here.

  36. Only if you speak Arabic

  37. Joe Biden is not really kind in his speech. He has always been a nasty little bully. And now our president. Thanks Democrats.
    18
  38. The US handles crises opportunistically.
    17
  39. Get more than one "second passport". Look at Uruguay. If a country can close its borders to its own passport holders once, it can happen again.
    17
  40. This channel seems to not want to factor pandemic restrictions in as part of the overall ranking of a place, which makes me watch the channel less to be honest. Being locked in your house and shaken down for QR codes while enjoying a coffee are a huge lifestyle issues. For instance, Mexico - the borders are open with no questions, but once you are inside there are tons of ridiculous health security theater measures everywhere. I just downranked it for myself based on this - I don't want to be sprayed with weird stuff entering every store, restaurant or hotel. These things DO impact "where you are treated best".
    16
  41. Its convenient they keep a list of tax heavy regulation heavy countries, makes them all easier to avoid.
    16
  42. We should be prepared to pay everyone with the fake dollars we are printing like maniacs. This guy must be related to Hugo Chavez, he did the same. It works great!
    16
  43. Felipe, he's hot and he speaks a romance language. Thus have I voted and declared.
    16
  44.  @mariavalenzuela1981  They never answer that sort of question. Some 14 year old staffer will send a form letter at some point, thanking the constituent for the feedback.

  45. You need to start a Youtube channel immediately sir, so you can tell us non 9 figure people how to do it!

  46. Reason is always a breath of fresh air. Welcome to humanity our Saudi friend.

  47. Half of Argentina has an Italian passport in their back pockets. But you still cannot get rid of your citizenship in Argentina, you just have another passport. I am one of the 4% of people from Argentina who does NOT qualify for Italian citizenship, argh!
    15
  48.  @craigb3154  I would not retire in Argentina, but its great to visit as a tourist. Mendoza is a medium sized city, nowhere near as large as Buenos Aires. It is clean, well laid out, and has a great vibe. it is located in the heart of the Malbec wine region, so it is fairly sophisticated as wine tourism brings an international crowd. Food & wine scene is great. Again, my opinion, visit Argentina. Do not get too attached to it as an investment/business/retirement permanent destination. Its unstable, its government is insane, its Covid lockdown situation was extremely harsh and you really cant imagine what will happen next, but you know it won't be good.
    15
  49. Aside from a**holes, who exist everywhere, I have found Americans to be exceptionally decent and friendly during my time in the States. Skeevy dudes tried to mug my husband about 14 times in Barcelona (I have no idea why, he's a Marine so it never worked out for the muggers lol), but I don't project that onto the average Spaniard. I get that its fashionable to hate the US, especially amongst the US "elites", but zzzz, enough already. The country has structural problems and about half of the voters are dumb and do whatever they last heard on MSNBC, that is the real issue. Not the average person.
    14
  50.  @taylors445  Not only that, we don't even know if she is actually closed off, brainwashed or in denial, she did not appear on this documentary. We just see her brother, who describes her as a happy, amiable and empathetic person. He is literally getting on a train to visit her (and the other siblings) at the end. So to me it does not sound like she is denying anything or avoiding her Polish relatives at all. Anyone who emerges from their life story with a happy outlook is ahead of the game.

  51. Copenhagen is full of hygge! And not much else haha.
    13
  52.  @asparrow9876  Unvaxxed Canadians can't board a plane, and unvaxxed foreign nationals cannot drive across the US border. So no.
    13
  53.  @therock8224  I am an immigrant and I have generally found Americans to be really pleasant people. Obviously there are exceptions, but I speak a couple languages out loud in public, I am foreign, and I've never had anyone call 911 :) I just think its fashionable to claim some sort of discrimination or unpleasantness based on race or ethnicity these days, more's the pity.
    13
  54.  @seabreeze4559  Nah, unfortunately its not true for physical attractiveness. Look at Thailand - women hot, men much less so (sorry, I am just being honest, we spent tons of time there, eye candy galore for my husband, nothing for me other than marveling at the lady-boys who are really a work of art). Spain is a country with hotness parity. But lets be honest, men and women use different criteria for selecting mates, and visual hotness is more important to men. Women like money.

  55. I love Nomad Dad. If you see a sign that says "don't go there", then don't go there. Haha. Iceland is awesome. Lebanon is awesome to visit. You should try it sometime!
    13
  56. I am one of those ladies who gets Better Bachelor in her feed all the time, and I am so grateful you made this video. There are still women out there who appreciate masculinity. Don't let the media and social media tell you otherwise. RIP Mr. Comperatore. You are the best of us.

  57. The Netherlands is currently approaching German levels of Kung Flu hysteria, with an eye to exceeding them.

  58.  @catherinepositano8544  I had a hysterectomy and could not have it done laparoscopically (I had to have an abdominal incision). I was out in 3 days so I don't think it could be that.
    12
  59.  @MariaBelenSeyssInquart  Brexit has nothing to do with the UK government seizing assets of an estate in debt. It is the same where I live in the US if you die with any unpaid bills or (especially) taxes. It really hits people with dementia hard because they literally forget to pay their taxes and other bills years on year, even if they have assets including cash assets. The government takes it when they die. A lawyer can help, but it is often more expensive to hire one than a small estate is worth. This is one place where Argentina is better than the UK/US, the families generally stay closer and more involved in each other's lives, and you have to be, especially with dementia. This level of involvement is just not the custom in the same way where I live now.
    12
  60. I think American men generally aim to please and are confused as to what women want, probably because of 50 years of screaming, angry feminism. I met my husband in the USA and he is one of the good ones, but I had to wade through an ocean of weak man-buns on the way. I am from South America where being a manly man can go too far, especially among the less educated people. I am happy with a balance, the US is not a balance, the women want to be men and the men are confused. My husband has a military background, I think that helps.
    12
  61. I am sure Biden (*cough* Harris *cough*) "winning" is great for the expat business! Thanks for all the great info, we need it more than ever and not just because of the one election.
    12
  62. I know haha, I was just thinking the same thing. Apparently dudes need not apply.

  63. I believe they have decided her nomination was a bad idea. Just the idea that she was on the list is of course a huge problem.

  64. Cat ladies for Fleccas! Well, one anyway!

  65. To me Dubai and Abu Dhabi are remarkably boring and bland. And too hot. If I had to be in that area I would prefer Oman, at least it has some character. Dubai is like a bland photocopy of Dallas, TX with a side of Islamic despotism. People hang out at the Mall in Dubai, seriously. The Mall.
    11
  66.  @OceanSwimmer  Well women have been told for 50 years or so that being a homemaker is not a real, fulfilling, and important job. Its actually the ultimate job, and clearly without homemakers part of life is sacrificed to "time management". And its not just America. Yes, hate America is chic to say and proves you are one of the cool kids, but its the same in many "developed" wealthy nations.
    11
  67. I believe he did.

  68. They all vote from home now, which is similarly bad.

  69.  @YouTubeAIbot  We aren't obligated to keep friends we don't like. Yet. LOL. Also get back to me when you have converted a lefty to "open minded" haha. Ill wait.

  70. The anger level of certain groups is off the charts, but we're not allowed to notice this.

  71. We just elected this crap nationally.

  72. Komandant Harris is coming for the rest of us. California not too big to fail? Lets nationalize this crap!

  73. Scandinavia is anti-service LOL. Its like they take it as a personal affront of you can manage to get anything out of a "service" employee. Don't be mad at me, i liked my time in the north but there is an anti-service culture there. If you get any help its because that employee is doing you a personal favor. And they let you know it. France has better "service".
    10
  74. Thank you for focusing on the tragedy that is Argentina and their latest plan to stab themselves in the foot, again. Uruguay is owned by Brazil & Argentina, I agree that Argentine people should get a second passport with more distance (mine is from the USA LOL, but its better than Argentina). Ultimately Uruguay will do what Argentina says, your apartment in Punta del Este will be taxed by Cristina if she wants to do it.

  75. I have never had one of their wines. Another reason to go there! I understand it is one of the oldest wine growing regions on Earth.

  76. It took you that long? =)
    10
  77. Here in the US they vote on property taxes, and the voters raise them all the time! Many renters (usually the same people who will be screaming about gentrification) vote yes to increase property taxes because (I guess) they don't think they will be paying them. Of course they will, because rents go up as taxes go up. But they are just too dumb to see it. It makes me understand why in some places in the past only property owners could vote. People who are not invested in the system have equal say - who would run their own business or household like this? Nobody.
    10
  78. People keep arguing with me about this very obvious point. Visit Argentina (enjoy the random quarantines and checkpoints!) but seriously, if you want to invest in anything or become a citizen there you are nuts. N U T S. The corruption and nonsense is at every level.

  79. For the wedding, maybe she made him write his own vows. Never do that, just use the canned ones. The priest will even talk you through it.

  80.  @darioinfini  Oddly maybe it will be Florida. I worry about Texas, so many "new arrivals" and a new expedited "illegally cross the border to voter" policy.

  81. My husband collects cars, lol. I knew of this habit before I married him so I am not looking to change it, but I underestimated what a pain in the butt a car collection is (insurance, storage, maintenance, and more!). I like one nice, non-fancy car because I hate public transport and I like going where I go. Beyond that more is not more for me.
    9
  82. Might want to tone down that sense of humor too, or you will stand out like a sore thumb =)

  83. I really enjoy your shows with positive content (such as the 5 great CDMX neighborhoods, or the interview with your Bogota tailor - see I really do watch!). The ones that talk about how crappy the US is/Americans are I generally skip. I understand why US born English speaking Americans are grouchy about illegal immigrants and might express this in the comments with some frustration. I am a LEGAL immigrant to the US I have found it a welcoming and lovely country full of nice people (and as you said, it has a great work culture). That said when I go to certain cities around the Washington DC burbs it is 100% Spanish, English is an inconvenience to them. I speak Spanish so for me it is OK but even I find it weird. The US does have a culture, you can assimilate and if you don't want to or hate the place, why live there?

  84. And like a crazy ex-girlfriend, you just cant get rid of your Argentina once you allow it into your life.
    9
  85. LOL just get a well connected local lawyer (or hire Andrew and he will hire one for you). Do not try to do the paperwork yourself. Hiring a lawyer shows the local bureaucrats that you won't just go away and stop bothering them at the first, second, or nineteenth obstacle, missed meeting, or delay for no reason. Weird fact: Often your well connected South American immigration attorney will be of German ancestry.

  86. I have a friend who travels on a Lebanese passport. Of course his passport is about as thick as an old fashioned telephone book because he needs a visa to go everywhere. But if you are determined and plan ahead (and are a respectable person) you can travel on just about any passport. He recently got a Schengen visa, amazingly.
    9
  87. The fact that you can leave your purse in your shopping cart for even a nanosecond in America is still amazing to me. I am from Argentina and it would be stolen every time haha. People wear their backpacks on the front there, that's how bad stealing is. In fact my American husband and I have a codeword now, I tell him "Honey, wear you backpack on your front" and he knows we're in that kind of place. It didn't even work in Barcelona! He (was a marine!) was mugged on the Rambla anyway.

  88.  @Chris-gs7cq  I'm from Argentina but I've spent a bunch of time in Uruguay. Its a nice place, you can take a cab without being robbed by the driver, but I don't know what to say other than 70-ish percent of people from south of Texas are genetically pro-socialist and highly tolerant of government excesses, and Uruguayans are no exception to this. I'm married to an American and we got Caribbean passports in case we want to leave the US (living in Argentina is NOT an option for me!). Uruguay's government is competently uncooperative and awful, residency is a pain in the butt for non-Mercosur residents, a passport takes years and years, and they have a bad and growing side of wokeness worse than Argentina or Chile. Oh, and they closed their borders to residents and citizens during the pandemic. You had to make an appointment to get back in to your own country, and then undergo an obnoxiously long quarantine (and remember they are competent, you cant avoid or ignore government "requests" in Uruguay.). Contrast that with St. Lucia's government which barely gets out of bed in the morning and just wants the money. I'll take option 2, lazy and just wants the money, the less my government thinks about me the better as far as I am concerned!

  90.  @ShadyD365  The BNO passport was made for people living in Hong Kong who chose to retain British citizenship after transfer. IE, the people had to want one to get one.

  91. I think its a good list. I am trying to get my American born, raised, English only husband on the path to leaving the US. Its hard to get people used to the North of Texas standard of living used to other locations, even Europe sometimes.
    8
  92. I just naturalized into the US (my husband is American, I am from Argentina) and they really had virtually zero questions for us at the final interview. We had seen all the silly movies where they ask you what toothpaste he uses or whatever, so as to trick you into admitting that yes, its all a sham. There was zero of that. We are similar in age and we are both employed professionals, which probably helps.

  93. You have to renounce at a US Embassy (and it costs money, of course). You can choose not to renew your US passport, but you are still a citizen and technically subject to US global taxation and reporting requirements.

  94. Sweden has a smothering nanny state (in my opinion, but its a nice country and smothers relatively efficiently), including "healthcare for all". So none of this "omg they stole all the healthcare in America" applies to them, yet they were the first example cited. An over-spoiled existence sitting on your butt, overeating, waiting for experts and government to lead you may be unhealthy. Apparently particularly for men, who are killing themselves in greater and greater numbers. Go figure.

  95. If she is harming your business maliciously, sue her. Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when one person intentionally damages someone else's contractual or business relationships with a third party, causing economic harm.

  96. What are bureaucrats going to do about it? Obamacare 2.0? 3.0? I'm in DC and people do nothing but talk about how more bureaucrats and lawyers are going to improve health, wealth and life in general. If you believe them I have a bridge to sell you.

  97.  @TaiwoWilliams  I don't think Nomad Capitalists have a lot of moral objections to things, or really anything. They seem to be more of an "I am getting mine" type of person. And since they have 9 passports each they can just surf around from country to country when things go wrong somewhere and riots break out, as they might in Georgia right now and probably will in Turkey at some point. I get it, and I get the objection to it. Having moved from Argentina (corrupt, tragic, full of idiots) to the USA (dying under leftism, in chaos, full of idiots) I am leaning more towards the 9 passports side of things at thing point in time. I cant fix as much stupid as we are seeing lately.

  98. I think it will be a while, people are very stupid.

  100. Tiny tax havens have done pretty well during times of world crisis. Heard of Switzerland?

  101.  @therock8224  I have multiple passports including US. I used to travel a lot, all over, including those countries that have to issue your visa on a separate piece of paper because your home country says you can't go there (spoiler: you can usually go there). Never experienced this issue. This guy must have been flagged for another reason (including random, that happens) or been really sassy with immigration. Just hand over your US Passport when entering the US, look pleasant but bored, and if you get flagged for search (it happens to all people of all melanin levels and all 56 genders or whatever we have now) just be pleasant. I have had my stuff tossed by other countries, generally US TSA/immigration just runs the bag through an additional magic machine and says "have a nice day". Argentina, they toss your stuff like they are robbing you haha, try that sometime. Repacking all your personal items right there in the terminal.

  102. I am the nomad type, my husband is an American patriot (is/was a US Marine). The only place he likes to go is visit my family in Argentina (OK to visit, do not invest/move there people, please). We became St. Lucians so that he would have a second passport with help from this website and Andrew's book. It was actually pretty easy for him, but they had questions for me (which Argentina was slow to answer because they are *ridiculous*). It seems that the more passports you have the more questions there may be when adding another. Just something to know.

  103. Budapest was always the nice one, even when the Iron Curtain was up it had a certain style and the people were pleasant in a way that most communists are not.

  104. Nope for Argentinians, the citizenship is like a bad rash you cant get rid of. And there is mandatory voting in Argentina. I live in the US and have become a citizen, but I keep accumulating little fines in Argentina for not voting, and of course there is no way for me to vote remotely. Awesome, right?
    7
  105. Obviously, do it. I did exactly this. Then I met an American, fell in love and got married. Maybe don't do that (unless you want to stay haha). Life in the US is fine, I like where I live. My issue is with the path the country is on, not its state right now. Nothing that my family tells me I should be seeing (chaos on the streets!) is reality in my US life at all.

  106. I recently had a hysterectomy and was asked repeatedly my "gender assigned at birth". I just left it blank. If you cant tell, I really do not want you performing the surgery. This stupid stuff needs to stop. If we don't stop it soon, the backswing will be severe when it does correct.

  110. Anyone else remember those green covered US passports from years ago? So confusing. I think they were around 25ish years ago, something about an anniversary year or Ben Franklin or blah blah I don't actually know, I wasn't American back then. They caused tourism issues for some Americans way back when I was young. Changing big stuff like the cover color of a commonly recognized passport is a disaster, it invites questions well beyond the customs office (you need ID to check into hotels, to bank, etc and your driver's license from Montana may not be considered sufficient). Don't let someone sell you a passport with a weird yellow cover.
    7
  111. Yep, I am the same as a guy who runs across the border and sends all his money back home via Western Union. In fact he is regarded as a hero by many, I am just a chump taxpayer who entered legally and followed the rules to become a citizen. Its so annoying.

  113. The author keeps stating that Wallis Simpson was powerless to stop the king. This is patently false. If she had gotten on a boat to New York, or even hopped a ferry to continental Europe, the King of England would not have been able to stop her from leading her own life. Even in London, just tell him to beat it. What is he going to do? Toss her in the tower? Its ridiculous, it wasn't 1450.

  125. Most middle class Americans have enough monthly income to qualify for residency in many Central and some South American countries, actually even Mexico. Ecuador, for instance, is absolutely full of American expats. This is of course a double edged sword (edge sword?) because they like to talk American politics and American problems while having relocated to avoid America (and not just taxes). So if you are trying to leave that behind, maybe avoid heavy expat areas like Cuenca & San Miguel De Allende =). But you also have to be OK with a certain level of dirty, and sad street dogs all over unless living in an expat bubble full of potentially complaining expats. (Thats the double edged sword part). Depending on where you stand ethically and with your principles, Central and South Americans are largely leftists and more religious than the average American in my opinion. There is simply no concept of small government south of Texas (corrupt government, yes, changing governments like changing shoes, yes, small, efficient government with limited power, not even on the menu). Good luck! I am from Argentina, my husband is American, we are also looking to expand our horizons. Argentina is NOT on the list. Fine to visit, bad to live full time.

  126. I am another woman against the 19th. Well over half of women are far too emotional to vote rationally, therefore it is not a demographic we want at the polls. Even if some of us are able to exercise reason, overall it is just a bad demographic for making decisions in the macro. All the churches near me are Marxist training camps, I haven't seen a normal one in years. Not even the Catholics or Orthodox. I respect my husband and he respects me. We are happy together. It is possible, but I am glad I am not in the dating pool anymore because it seems really awful. Men are mad, women are mad, some men are women, some women are men, and some won't even pick a team. Basta.
    6
  127. That's interesting because whenever I have gone to Miami I find it absolutely chock full of Central and South Americans who own vacation homes there and really seem to like it. They have much nicer things to say about the US than the locals. Not just refugees from Venezuela or Cuba or whatever, but really wealthy people who are doing that Trifecta thing, Spanish speaking style.

  128. You have to renounce your US citizenship because of global taxation. If this stupid global taxation didn't exist, you probably would have kept the passport.

  130. I don't know that I would refuse it if they gave it with zero work on my part, but I wouldn't really want a Uruguayan passport as a naturalized citizen. It is one of two countries on Earth that gives citizenship WITHOUT nationality. For instance, if you are Ugandan and you get a Uruguayan passport, the nationality inside will say UGANDA in big bold letters, sometimes with additional explanatory text like "see page 9". All of that inside your spiffy new Uruguayan passport. Its bizarre and very confusing to customs officials everywhere, even in Uruguay itself so not super useful as a travel document. Uruguay keeps saying they will change this, but they don't seem to be in a big hurry, its been going on for decades.

  133. Same here in DC because the Democrat primary IS the election (so yeah, I pick the least bad insane candidate running for team D, then I vote against that person in the general). Your affiliation really only matters in the primaries, if your state is a one party state consider registering for the one that matters.

  134. I vacationed on St Lucia years ago and didn't like it, as I recall they had a $20 departure tax, I have never more happily parted with 20 bucks in my life haha. Nevertheless, thanks for the information I don't need to love the place to buy a passport, sometimes life is funny like that. Maybe its nicer now, it did have pretty beaches and a volcano. What else do you need on a tropical island?

  145. I love Denmark, but Scandinavia is stunningly expensive. Its not just the taxes (corporate taxes in Denmark used to be oddly reasonable for Scandinavia), its everything single thing you do or buy. And I find service is poor for the price, maybe because its not a tipping culture and the employees get paid for work, or not work. And don't get me started on the rules and regulations. When I lived in Copenhagen it was virtually impossible to throw away large items - the result was even Danes were throwing old TVs and mattresses in ditches in the burbs. Again I love the place, but they have a tax or rule for every minute of every day!

  146. He has covered Uruguay a bunch in his vids., its expensive and has closed it borders on and off to permanent residents throughout the pandemic. They are locking down again right now.

  148. I think women can be beautiful or attractive after a certain age but "hot" is related to youth and fertility. And just dressing like you are 25 and getting a lot of fake body parts after say, 50 or 60 really is not a great look most of the time. Especially not in the face where women often end up looking like The Joker. The skin just cannot be tightened given current technology, unfortunately, and hair weaves can look good from a distance but are sort of a nasty rats nest close up.

She calls me "the white Mexican" and I avoid her as much as possible, LOL.

  160.  @Tjalve70  Baldur von Schirach was a German citizen born in Berlin. 1. He was not born in the US so was not American jus soli (by being born there). 2. Germany does not generally permit its citizens to hold multiple passports except under exceptional situations and by special permission. This law is only now being relaxed. He was born in Germany to a German father, so he was German at birth. 3. American women (such as his mother) would only have been able to grant automatic US citizenship by descent (jus sanguinis) to their children after 1920, before that women were not fully enfranchised US citizens themselves. von Schirach was born in 1907 so he didn't get it from his mother unless she really made a big stink about it, and even then probably not. Remember, at the time of his birth (1907) there was absolutely no stigma to being German. Before you get mad at America for not being progressive enough as regards mothers granting citizenship jus sanguinis, in contrast German women could not grant citizenship to their children until the 1970s.

I am a local so either I don't notice the things leaving children or they do not leave me unwanted gifts that I have to buy. It certainly does not happen in nicer restaurants. Anywhere south of Texas will have more of that "local flavor" than many gringos (or I) like but that is what it is. Mendoza has less of that sort of nonsense than Buenos Aires (and most other south of Texas) cities IMO. Here I go, saying something nice about somewhere in Argentina! What is the world coming to, LOL?. Its a special day, everyone go buy lottery tickets.

They literally do not care how much other people are taxed and regulated, and in what manner and how it may damage our ability to grow out of our debt or do business at home or overseas. Like the man says, its the guy who gets FATCA repealed will be removed from his job as president, because the idiot masses will vote against "the rich guys hiding money overseas".

  174.  @Andreas4696  Its not going to get better, they do stuff like lower the voting age to 16 to stay in power, and also we have mandatory voting which guarantees the stupid/lofo vote is large. And with this we keep electing terrible politicians (like the woman now) who borrow money, then print money to make it cheaper to pay off, then default anyway. And then the idiots who keep voting for her complain about inflation that she created by printing money like a maniac and defaulting. I have no idea who would even lend Argentina money. And now we are making deals with Chna, so I guess that is who. Our president will sell the country to anyone. LOL we had 4 or 5 presidents in one year not that long ago. Its not a country, its corruption in a box with a side of stupid. But yeah. the scenery is nice. So yeah, I am OK with my US Passport right now. Here is not that bad, yet.

  179.  @jeffb.140  How do you know the bus was on time after dropping you off at your hostel? I assume you were no longer on said bus? Or were you so taken by the driver you followed him? Scandinavians are polite and orderly and very punctual (from my south American perspective amazingly punctual), but customer service I find wanting. I stayed at a nice hotel (the one that calls itself "the nicest") in Copenhagen and even the hall lights were calibrated to turn themselves off, leaving guests who weren't Olympic sprinters standing in a dark hallway trying to figure out how to get to their rooms. I loved living in Copenhagen and I liked the crazy Danish ways, but good service? Its just not something they do. Probably something to do with Holger Danske or Jantes Law.

  181. Many currencies in South America are basically pegged to the dollar, and some countries actually officially use it. Uruguay and Argentina, for instance, price most stuff over $100 in US dollars. And the people in Argentina hold huge amounts of cash dollars because the peso is a disaster and the banks are not trustworthy. They will probably be hurt more than the average American.

  182. Untrue. It varies by state. For instance one extreme example is that you can vote right from jail in Maine. Many states automatically return your right to vote when you are not in jail and in the rest you can petition to have the right restored.

  186.  @Dis_is_fine  Exactly. Recently I sat next to a lovely gentleman from Uganda on a flight from the US to Europe. He showed me pictures of his house in Uganda and lots of snaps of his life, and it all looked very nice - modern house, the cows outside it were different but whatever, some wealthy Ugandans love status-symbol cows (and he had a collection of really fancy looking bovines I tell ya). But when I really pressed him on life in Uganda as a full time permanent resident he admitted he lived most of the time in Virginia USA and Dubai with vacations in Amsterdam. So he has a trifecta (quadfecta), of which Uganda plays a small part. I have his contact details and will 100% visit, but visiting <> living full time.

  187. It is a really good travel document, maybe that is what he means. I agree more with you about the direction of things.

  188. Its literally impossible to know if you have filed a return correctly, unless its 1040EZ. Which means any time you sign a return it can be used against you and a crime can be found that requires payment + fees + fines + interest.

  189. I think we need several. I was thinking Uruguay but its expensive and they just closed their borders to their own citizens who are abroad. So that one moved way down my list. If they can do that crap once they can do it again. Maybe Brazil and somewhere in Asia? (I have US/Argentina now, Argentina sucks). And I am looking at an EU passport by descent. I want to be able to move around the globe without some bureaucrat closing doors in my face.

  190.  @asparrow9876  I have heard that private planes are possible. Private boats as well. But you cannot legally enter the US borders without showing a vaccination certificate. Its a shame because once you get inside the US life is quite normal virus-wise, it is one of the most open places on Earth. You would need to fly/sail to somewhere green on that map - Mexico if you want to stay in North America. Inside Mexico there are still virus restrictions, masks and whatnot. But you can enter the country unvaxxed, they don't even ask.

  191.  @asparrow9876  You might be able to board an international flight out of Canada using your non-Canadian passport. But really, you should probably speak to a Canadian immigration attorney about your options. They would be able to provide you with current information.

  192.  @myrnafromcanada1216  Unvaccinated? How? I sometimes hear about Canadians that make it into the US. I am happy to hear it every time, but skeptical as well because unvaccinated foreign nationals are not allowed into the US. Biden made it a presidential order back in 2021 and his handlers seem to want to keep it in place. If unvaxxed Canadians are getting in it is either extreme good luck at some border control point, or some off the books method (or an official asylum visa which Canadians never receive).

  196.  @Originalman144  Income is not the issue with FATCA. Its an obnoxious law that makes foreign banks not want to deal with Americans at all. You could earn $0 and have problems. Retired people have problems. It is awful, and probably one of the main "facts not feels" reasons people get rid of their US citizenship. PS. FATCA is so problematic you can have issues banking abroad even if you were born in the US, but you are no longer a citizen of the US (birthplace is on passports). And yes, the IRS may in fact hassle you if you fail to report one penny over the allowed exemption when working overseas (exemption is currently just over 100k). Zero accountants would tell you to rely on this "probably won't hassle you if you are only a little over" rule. The IRS is nasty, the tax code sucks and is overly complex, and this is another great reason to get rid of US citizenship.

  197. As a woman, you can marry an Emirati (if you can find one in the sea of Brits and SE Asians). Citizenship takes a long time but residency is pretty much instant (so they can import more Bangladeshi child brides with less paperwork, obvi). And so true about them being extra nice to women, well-behaved modestly dressed expat women in particular! I cannot tell you how many lines I bypassed while living there and what great service I generally received everywhere I went.

If Belgians send out packs of dogs to run down foxes so they can be torn apart by dogs while people on horseback watch, then you are doing what is in this video. Hunting fox with dog packs is currently illegal in England, but they do it anyway because they are allowed to pretend the dogs killed the fox by "accident". Get it?

  201. I don't know you personally but you would probably never meet an Emerati in the Emirates, you would be living in an expat bubble of glitz staffed by Indian guest workers. I have never had a problem in the UAE with harassment or whatnot. It is not my cup of tea (its fine for business, I actually go there for work sometimes) but for living it feels completely fake and is not at all my style. Tons of brits there, so if you are an Irish lady who hates people from England maybe this would be an issue, otherwise fine. Cheers

  202. I am not even sure its an ethnicity! I think its to lump Mexico (North America), Central America and the continent of South America into one blob of "Spanish speakers" (Sorry Brazil, Guyana, Surinam!) that are south of Texas. I hear it most from Americans (as in from the USA). I don't mind, but its weird because I am from Argentina and our lifestyle is pretty different to say, Mexico or Bolivia. Even the language can be quite different. And none of us speaks Latin, LOL.

  204.  @JamesSmith-qv9qo  I don't have enough Italian ancestors, they are the wrong gender, and they came very early (for Argentina, before 1900) so the line of descent is broken. The family is also missing documentation. My dad (a type A lawyer) tried to get his Italian passport, no dice. Strangely for Argentina my mom is 0% Italian, I am surprised I can't lose my nationality for this reason alone LOL. From what I understand Italian law made it much easier about 20-25 years ago (or so). Back then, during yet another severe crisis of state in Argentina, tons of (educated) people my parents age went for second passports in Italy and many received them. Now everyone moves to Spain. Barcelona is becoming a suburb of Buenos Aires.

  210.  @louisbarbisan2608  Once you reach North Dakota you have actually left Canada and can pretty freely move around the US. There are no domestic travel vax mandates in the US. No guarantees that holds forever, I hear they are cooking up a new virus. The problem for Canadians is that you still cannot legally cross the US border as an unvaxxed foreigner tourist visa holder. Some Canadians get lucky and just drive across with few questions, but its not guaranteed.

  224. The new (awful) incoming German government says it will make getting a German passport easier, and relax the rules on not allowing German citizens to hold more than one passport. They also say they will allow you to choose your gender, so of course I want to go troll them and start my life as a German man as soon as this law passes. They say they will "reduce" the time to 3-5 years to put it in perspective. But the new government is going to tax everything even more than it is taxed now (its the stoplight coalition, with the useless allegedly libertarian FDP going along with the lefties and greens) so I would not bet the farm on the no cap gains on crypto thing going forward. They are going to have to tax everything to pay for what they are planning.

  228.  @Timithos  Lebanon really isn't even a country in any sense of the word. The people are highly divided and mostly crazy. The government goes from nonexistent to terrible, but it is completely incompetent to enforce its will on anything. Hezbollah runs half the country and has a parallel government, but does not seem inclined to impose Shariah or crush the party scene. In spite of this the lifestyle is actually pretty good. What is written in the paper is not what you experience in everyday life. Faraya has good skiing (the village sucks, the European village scene is much better). The private beaches are some of the best in the world. The nightlife is fantastic as is the shopping. I've never had a banking issue there, the banks have actually treated me better than banks in Argentina or the US. Its not for everyone, but if you have connections to the country its a good no-low tax lifestyle.

Or Clint Eastwood, who said, "Don't get married, just find someone who hates you and buy them a house." I did get remarried years later, because I am stupid, but I am also lucky because he is a great guy and we have a great long lasting marriage. Life really is better if you can find the right person to share it with, but with the wrong person it can be very unpleasant. I really don't know what to do with divorce laws other than to say if you don't want to deal with them don't ever get married. Why the hell gay dudes wanted that right is beyond me.

With Biden we will have even more debt, and stagnation and then Kamala. Americans under 60 really haven't seen how fast things can go to sh*t. They can, and once they do its very hard to get back to normal. Look at the history of my country, Argentina, as an example.

  250.  @michaelreid8857  Final quick example, you are an adult do as you please. Get a passport from Argentina if you want. I HIGHLY recommend you enjoy the country as a tourist. My uncle bought a rundown house in Mendoza to fix it up as sort of a passion project. He is an attorney, he had an attorney and a notary (its an important job in Argentina not just a stamp). A year after he bought it the government fined him thousands of dollars (zillions of pesos) because (they said) the property had various tax liens and levies against it. That were of course undocumented prior to the sale, but now are due, to the government. with interest, fees & fines still being added daily. Also do some research into the really nasty quarantine the country just had. This virus is the new normal, and the government of Argentina uses it to put everyone in prison whenever they like. Either a real prison if you go out and get arrested for being outside, or the prison called your house. There is zero reason to become a citizen of Argentina. Just renew your tourist visa forever by taking the ferry to Colonia every 3 months.

I have German ancestry too, and women could not pass that on until the 1970s (iirc, fact check me if you are trying for that citizenship or call Nomad Capitalist, to me it seemed very complex/impossible to become German), so I guess Italy is progressively less sexist, LOL.

  269. Everywhere is different but yes, I agree with you and also agree that people gloss over this aspect of immigration. The I hate America types often use it to say that "everything was free and better" in some other place on Earth. I have never been asked for my insurance card more than in Uruguay (often featured in Travel and Leisure as the most perfect place ever of any time for expats). I joined a gym and they demanded my insurance card. The last time I entered the country they asked me (for covid testing purposes) to show them an insurance card. I have private American insurance that works overseas so it was fine, but if you do not it can be an issue.

The US would be better if it were still functioning as a constitutional republic with some sort of limits on the central government power, out of control agencies, and their bought and paid for corporate shills. The thing is, I have lived all over the place, there are awful people everywhere and nowhere is perfect. I guess you just have to keep moving around - until some new pandemic or green initiative makes travel impossible. The lockdowns and health uber alles initiatives are my current biggest threat to "being treated best" - this channel does not really talk about them at all. The US is actually pretty good for freedom to walk around without a dirty rag over your face, or the requirement to share personal medical data with every waiter and hotel concierge.

  284. It depends on your priorities when you say loss of freedoms. I travel a lot and have family in several places in Europe and South America. Of these places the US actually has some of the least annoying pandemic response rules once you are inside the country. Censorship in the media as well, I always shake my head when Americans say this, they have no idea. The US is full of alternative media outlets and talk radio, etc. Things that are not legal or present in much of the rest of the world. Divides in society? Yes, the political class in the US foments race and class unrest to stay in power. Its new and ugly in the US to the degree that I see it, and I actively dislike it. But its just normal political rhetoric in Argentina where I am from. I would at least say go take a year's vacation in several cheap places that you might want to retire. Try before you buy because it is not all as advertised online.

  285. Its not that the people in other countries don't support a wealth tax, its that their governments aren't in a position to implement one, yet. Prosperity breeds an entitlement atmosphere in the average person. These taxes and rules will happen anywhere once the conditions have been met. People are people everywhere, envy is in everyone. Watch Singapore, its ahead of the curve in Asia.

  286.  @baronsilverbaron757  Do you live with another native English speaker and speak English all the time at home? This can make it more difficult. My English was good but I always had to think when speaking it, and many accents were simply incomprehensible to me. Back then speaking English made me tired - it was a lot of work for my brain, even if I sounded OK. Eventually I moved to the US and married an American. At that point my life became 100% English, all day every day. We refused to devolve into yet another Spanglish household. I would say that within 3-4 months or so I was able to speak and understand almost all English without excessively thinking and working at it. OK, my English is not perfect but I can communicate without stress and without becoming exhausted by the language. I can crack jokes and make meaningless small talk. I can listen to snippets of conversation in crowds and understand them. Mastering a foreign language can be done, at any age, but it's really hard. Kudos to anyone who tries.

  297. My husband left the room when you said Spanish is easy to learn haha. I think basic get around town Spanish is pretty easy and most Americans under 50 have studied a bit of it. But to fully master it can be very difficult, in fact it might be a language that becomes more difficult to learn as you learn it. We have US/Argentina now by default, but I would change that for Canada/Uruguay/Singapore. My tax haven would probably need a tax haven, but I like clean places for living. Malaysia looks good in your pics, and we have good friends from Serbia (who hate the place) so we might look there.

  300. One advantage for women in many parts of the Middle East is that if they marry a citizen of that place they get residency quickly. This does not work in the reverse - women cannot grant residency/citizenship/work permit status to their husbands in Arab countries. This includes the UAE. And remember, the men can marry several women so read between the lines on how difficult it may be to find someone willing to enter into that state. Just be sure to keep your other passports in good order, hopefully at least one in a place where women are fully considered citizens.

  301. We checked out Ecuador (me and my gringo husband who hates Spanish). Its OK, uses the dollar and English works in many places. It is FULL of Americans (and Canadians too but mostly Americans) who sit around complaining about the USA LOL. I feel them, I complain about Argentina but not to strangers on the beach! Just to you chumps on the internet! Everyone I know loves Colombian ladies (and the country as well), but it can be rough in some areas. If you like the North American lifestyle as far as security and hygiene (and really, who doesn't?) it can be a bit, I don't know, dirty? Sorry Colombians, feel free to fact check that or find a better word but he honest haha. Chile is closest to American levels of hygiene and order right now, but start reading the local papers, there are government problems there (such as writing a new constitution). Ecuador was the least expensive most dollar and American friendly of the three to me. The expat complainers selling BLM nonsense to my husband makes it a no go for us. He's American, pretty conservative and black, he just does not want to hear woke white people telling him how to think, and they certainly were. Maybe if you don't mind this Ecuador would be fine, it has a lot to recommend it. Sorry for the long answer but were in the same process of investigating other options.

The dumbest passport for immigrants is Uruguayan - your nationality in the passport is your original nationality (legal citizenship conveys only citizenship, not nationality). Its retarded and causes huge problems even just going to Brazil or Argentina.

  313. I am just going to watch your reviews from now on, the actual show is so bad I give up. At least this way I get a good laugh. The show is not even good generic fantasy.

  314. CNN "reporter" lies to other CNN "reporter" about a fake undercover investigation. It's actually hilarious. A "conservative far right" man took her on a date to a meeting with other "conservative far right" men and the men talked about their feelings, and made plans to oppress women. You can't make this crap up, unless you work at CNN.

  315. With medical intervention (or luck) women can get pregnant at 39 and have a healthy baby. I hope she can if she has found a husband and actually means what she says.

  316. If watching some dudes easily beat ladies, er, women sorry, at soccer can fill stadiums then sure, pay both teams based on ticket sales and let the athletes get whatever endorsements that may bring. By the way these guys look pretty fit, not a bunch of dadbods, but the women's team (with the hideous Rapinoe at the helm) was also beaten by an under 15 boys team in the US.

  317.  @jaymann9183  Don't forget that they have also invested heavily in the local politicians.

  318. Maine is a mess. Portland is Little Mogadishu, much of the state is run by insane lefties, and in many areas they let all residents vote in "local elections" without regard to citizenship. But of course nobody is really checking to make sure that their votes are only counted for local stuff and not federal. Felons can also vote right from jail.

    2
  321.  @musiciansonships3898  Yeah, me too I was on business in Istanbul. It was OK if I was with other people, even other women. Going out on my own (as in walking from A to B, not partying at 2AM) was a disaster of intrusive, unwanted attention of all varieties at all times of the day. We did go to some coastal beach towns as well, they were completely full of tourists, many Germans. The environment there was more generic cheap- European tourist rip off. I was with a group so I don't particularly remember being harassed, but I do remember naked fat Germans on the beach. I'll probably remember that forever.

  325. I worked for a US company, they offered me a transfer which made it easy for me. Probably a paperwork nightmare for them. In spite of what people say, I have found the US welcoming and accepting of legal immigrants, and pretty permissive of people who overstay visas. I am college educated, work in tech and finance and was single when I arrived in the US. Good luck!

  328.  @sallyire1  Even with an incision like I had (and I had it quite recently, I just wasn't a candidate for laparoscopy), it was not 2 weeks recovery. I was in hospital for 3 days and up and about right away. Sometimes I think it would be best to just come on out and say "She has fibroids" or whatever, just to end the speculation. I wish her a speedy and full recovery no matter what it was!

  329. I see stagflation and loss of reserve currency status over time, I cannot see how we will achieve sufficient growth under a Biden/Harris administration to outgrow our debt bomb. This would seem to be a global issue, but for those of us stuck with dollars only it could be a problem, especially for anyone over 50 or so, because you will be dead before it corrects itself. Biden/Harris could last 16 years if they let old Joe live that long. So as much as getting out of America seems nice, the dollar needs a look too. My wife is from Argentina, we won't be moving there, that country is the definition of hot mess, with a side of Malbec to lure people in.

  333.  @michaelreid8857  You can "obstante" the "laws" by simply driving on a highway or trying to run a business. or daring to own a house. Come over for a beer, I can tell you tons of stories about the place, my family runs a vineyard. Dealing with the government is like dealing with the mafia, only its more powerful. The expat experience in Argentina is fine, great even. Become a citizen and get substantial assets there? Not unless you are an idiot.

  334. I have a robe similar to (but cleaner than) NotGandalf. Can be found in the ladies department at just about any major retailer. I call it the ugly robe.

  341. This form of the subjunctive (where they don't actually use para que, cuando, ojala or other common identifiers for the subjunctive) is very difficult for me, also the words se & lo WTF: Para hacer la carrera, faltaba un coche que fuera lo suficientemente rápido. No había un chef que pudiera preparar comida para la fiesta. Estaba buscando un gobierno que quisiera mejorar la vida de los ciudadanos. My wife is from Argentina, I despair of ever learning Spanish. Not for lack of hearing it, "sino" for lack of aptitude. Oh, and how about those verbs that always take a direct object? Decirle algo a alguien. The "le" is always there, even if the reference to whom you were speaking exactly is not, and it may be the only pronoun in the entire sentence. Have you gotten comfortable with these structures over time? Many of the grammatical structures are similar in English and Spanish but when they are not wow, they pack a punch.

  347. Let's face it, an electorate that can choke up a Joe Biden is not in a healthy place. Especially after a Donald Trump, its a mess and reminds me of my home country. Some finance types I know like Yellen because they feel they can predict what she is going to do, I personally have doubts that it matters that much. I am doing the St. Lucia thing right now, and getting a Schengen passport by descent so I won't get locked off the continent every time a new flu rolls around. Sorry Andrew, I am not rich enough to hire you to do it or I would. I recommend your page often.

Right now it sort of reads like an ad for getting a wolf dog which is a shame. More than a shame. Shameful.

  352.  @brianbaxter6099  OK, I fully acknowledge that we are talking about people here. Now get the men out of the women's spaces, including sports. Too bad if they are upset, every life has its challenges. For an honest, non cheating male who insists he is really female and is just participating in women's sports for the joy of the game, this will be his/her challenge. For the cheaters, they will find a new scam.

  358.  @georgerivera9220  The US permits multiple passports, as does Israel. In fact about 10% of Israelis are dual nationals. There are many Americans volunteering in the IDF right now. There are members of past and current US governments (including elected officials) who are dual nationals. The list is Israeli-American dual nationals is really, really long and has been so since the founding of Israel (Golda Meir was an American Israeli for instance). Good luck getting the IRS off of your back by just picking up an Israeli passport or joining the IDF. Every Jew in America would do this immediately, LOL. I might even convert myself.

  359. I wish Crowder would just name names already, the speculation creates unnecessary drama. Maybe all of the 'big cons' bully new conservative talent - who knows?

I shall duct tape my fingers together right now in penance and maybe fast for a week or two. I reckon Lisa Lyons is from North America somewhere, the Paraguayan lifestyle is something she should see before she pulls the figurative trigger.
    2
  366.  @JamesSmith-qv9qo  Its because we are just too sexy! No, I think its really because Argentina is like the USA of the South in some ways. Its a loud country whose problems spill out onto its neighbors. In spite of our extreme corruption and terrible government we keep swinging for the fences, and this annoys people. But Paraguay really has very little moral high ground (read its history, its amazing haha), its just that nobody knows its there until they read a sales brochure for cheap citizenship abroad. if saying that makes me a very bad lady so be it. It is not the "1.5" world" country Nomad Capitalist talks about.

There was a spot where they could have asked me to stop but they didn't and it didn't look like it was really ever open. But be careful, Europe is going crazy right now.

  369.  @gorkyd7912  Everyone with a PhD knows this lol. But failing to get one and getting another chance, then parading around as a genius really is over the top. It is pretty hard for a melanated person or female in STEM to not succeed once admitted. If they let you fail after letting you in the program it makes them look bad and drives down their diversity stats.

  370.  @gorkyd7912  Im in my 50s and was a female math PhD candidate at the very same university and I can tell you "equity" was alive and well even waaaaay back then in the dark ages. Generally you fail to PhD by completely failing to produce all required work. For a true genius this work would be what they do naturally, because geniuses think differently. For normal people it probably means you are lazy and not quite as clever as you thought you were.

  373. Back in the early 2000s I had my first job in an office that had several black ladies with braids. We became friendly (yes, you could be friendly to braid wearing black ladies back then, black people were not looking race bait everything). One evening while watching a movie with some wine, one of them braided my (white person) hair (it takes forever to do) and I wore it around the office for about a week or so. Race never, ever came up at all, in fact most people seemed to think it looked nice. I did not receive one lecture on appropriation, braid stealing or anything of the sort. The pre-Obama era was better. Obama destroyed race relations in the US.

  384. As far as I know Chile has absolutely insane residency requirements that go along with their permanent and temporary residency permits. Stuff like be in Chile for at least half the year, every year, basically forever until they give you full citizenship which may be never. And Chileans are organized and love enforcing their laws, they will know if you are sneaking out. Its a nice country but I don't think it counts as one that makes it easy to go live there. I believe they are writing a new constitution right now, who knows what nonsense they will stuff into it before they are done. Might be worth waiting to see.

  386.  @pattimurphy5151  My point was that no, its not, there is no one safe place. Not even passport holders and permanent residents can enter the country right now. The borders are shut. Not even Uruguayans (I am from Argentina, not Uruguay) who are abroad can enter the country. And the Minister of the Interior is running around arresting people for "gathering" without a very firm definition of what that might be. Uruguay is nice and I like it, but it has a better reputation amongst Americans than maybe it deserves. It is also expensive for what you get, and it is developing a nasty case of SJW, but that is another story.

If you like to be shaken down, robbed and mugged by your own government (oh and then locked in your house for an eternal quarantine) I recommend you Argentina! I am from Mendoza, its great to visit & my(American) husband loves it. But i don't recommend that you take up residence there or "invest" in any significant way.

  393. Politics is what it is, a dirty but necessary business. It is the news that is really toxic. People literally "wake and bake" on the US media, and the media loves it because angry people consume more news. So they exist to keep the rage going. Be informed, but turn off the TV. You can be aware of current events without the talking heads.

  394. I am lazy, spoil my dog, and rarely set rules boundaries and limitations. Which is why I have an 8lb Bolognese, a breed that is happy go lucky, full of sunshine, and small enough to pop in my bag if need be. If you get the right dog for you, life is much easier. These two need a Weimaraner like they need a bad case of head lice. Also, be grateful to your neighbor. I am not sure why she involved herself so much in the process but she was well within her rights to file a complaint after that first attack, and she didn't. Instead she got you a reality TV moment. Have some gratitude and drop the attitude.

  405. @Deborah Hearne Yeah and in pure democracy it just takes 51%. If you confuse things with a parliamentary style government it can actually be much lower. Democracy can only be what people think it is ("free!") when it comes with strong individual rights. Otherwise its just mob rule.

  414. @Pessy's ASMR Which really bugs me! I want no legal association with a country that shoots itself in the leg over and over. And try renewing a passport or doing your legally required voting, the Argentine embassies are slower and more corrupt than the country itself which is really saying something. I love my family but Argentina, the way it is run, makes me vomit. If Germans could get second passports tons of them would renounce. I know at least 20 who are waiting for the crazy new government to ease that restriction - its a big ask to have to renounce before you can legally nail down a new travel document. I told them when they renounce their German passports I will become a German man, because part of the new passport plan is you can pick you gender. I can't wait, Hans Schmidt here I come. Or maybe Wolfgang? with a von? That always sounds classy.

  417.  @Shcreamingreen  I had no idea such an interview existed, and I just watched it. Thanks for the tip! 1960s TV at its finest, with odd filming angles (they zoom in on his eyeballs and nostrils haha), jarring cuts and tinny music. I would not say Herr von Schirach had what I would consider a typical North American accent. He sounds like a highly educated continental European who can speak English effortlessly, but with a clipped Germano-British accent (which sounds great, but it's not really American). I suppose in a large group of German POWs his English would stand out as remarkably good, but in the US he would sound foreign/European. Maybe a bit like that "transatlantic" accent Hollywood made up in the 1930s and 1940s.

  418.  @mysticmama_3692  The black lady viking was also the end for me. I do not watch stuff that erases Europeans anymore, and I am not even European haha. They can't leave it alone and won't leave it alone until we all conform to their new reality.

  419. Certain demographics feel entitled to claim they are being erased or not seen, and we are all required to give a crap and feel guilty and provide whatever it is they demand. Often what they demand is for us to buy and watch their garbage and pretend it is good and tell them they are brave and beautiful. This is why I give most new productions a pass, I am tired of the message.

My review contains nothing profane, is relevant to the series (discusses the quality of the actual product) and uses no forbidden words. I agree with you, I bet they are letting through all 5 star reviews and heavily filtering anything else. Personally, I am going to keep leaving my review until they accept it. Amazon spams me to review everything I buy but I can't review this? BS.

  423. So many adopted children disagree with you, and know that their adoptive mothers are their mothers. Yes, I get that the circumstances are different for this man but it does not render his adoptive mother evil. We don't know anything about her (other than she adopted a skinny child to fatten him up, which is a bit nicer than just saying "bring me the best, healthiest one"). Blood and fatherland are not the only things that connect people.

  429.  @WSFM_Rex  As I said, near the end of the 2 Germanies. Late 80s when a 1938 pfennig would have been about 50. It was certainly not a normal occurrence, even back then, which is probably why I remember it 40 years later. It was the same size, weight and color as the pfennig of the time. I can't say how collectable they are, but they cost about 3 bucks on Ebay in 2022 so they can't be all that rare.

It will never be perfect, but it works and that is all you really need! The hardest part is to just go for it and not worry about your mistakes. Go beat up some Mexicans with awful Spanish for 3-6 months and one day it won't be so bad. Or anyway that is how it was with my English. Mexicans are exceptionally friendly in my experience.

  441. I do not see how Rings of Power can turn it around. People with a lot of time to waste looking at the idiot box will watch, for sure, but the way they have ruined it will be hard to correct. Just think about LotR, its basically a movie about walking (literally walking) around the world doing stuff. Now look at RoP. They basically teleport around the (diverse) map (of diversity). They literally gloss over hundreds of years of Guyladriel looking for Sauron which could have been an entire movie itself! The writers and producers just do not get it, and that is just one example of many. Also, many of the actors were insufferable in interviews and tweets, so they deserve their fate. The black dwarf lady wasn't the worst thing about the show, her character was actually likeable, but the actress herself is insufferable, delivering woke lectures on demand to any reporter who will listen. I watched a high seas edition, it manages to be both boring and annoying.

If you are retired or maybe work under the table remotely or something it might be OK, but running any sort of business is just a nightmare. An absolute nightmare. France is a fine place to vegetate or spend money if you are in a good zip code, great food great wine blah blah, but its a bad place try to be productive. Just owning an apartment you can experience this. Firing anyone in France takes an act of God, including thieving harassing building superintendent/concierges. We ultimately had to bribe one to quit which cost around 4000 euros from each unit in the (small) building, and that was a while ago. In addition France now has tons of "permanent undocumented guests" lying around highway medians and public parks, and not just in Paris, its pretty widespread.

Failure to do so results in screeching and hysteria. Of course I am not a member of congress, I am not a lefty loon, and did not volunteer to be part of public life so the circumstance is different. Leftists are insane ranting maniacs. virtue signaling from cause to cause (climate->Ukraine->Gaza->who knows what). We recently had a lily white mob of ranting maniacs near said building, looked to be about 1/3 Jewish, chanting "from the river to the sea". Its going to be a rough ride to Nov.

  451. Women can be friends with guys they have friend-zoned if the guys are game for that and there is a reason to do so. And it will be OK as long as the friend-zone remains in force not just with that guy, but with all his guy friends. Maintaining the friendzone is entirely up to the woman and can be maintained by the woman until the man gets married. Then his wife will just not have it and you will not hear from him anymore. When/if the friendzoning woman also gets married, the pairs can become couples friends in the rare instance that both the women and both the men are compatible. This has happened once in my experience of about a million guy friends/colleagues from engineering school. So my husband got a guy friend I know well but don't really hang out with much, and I got a female friend who is still slightly suspicious of me.

  458.  @smartjackasswisdom1467  Unless you want to run from the lady spraying you down at the local restaurant it is certainly not optional. You would also have to tell her to F off as she asks you to wear your mask. Mexicans are polite and you can try to "gringo" around the rules, but as of last week they were really into masking and spraying. Including seeing Mexicans in the park, alone, wearing a mask. I was a little disappointed to be honest, I didn't think Mexicans would convert to sheep so easily. Honestly there is less masking in Washington, DC right now and DC people love them, its like a Prius for your face. So if you don't care you don't care, but if wearing a dirty rag over your face is not your jam give Mexico a second thought right now.

  471. Yes you are correct. Naturalized citizens gain citizenship in Uruguay, but they do not receive Uruguayan nationality, and it says it on the passport. Customs agents WILL have questions for you if you try to use the passport, and you may be required to get additional visas depending on how scary your original nationality is (it will be where you are born). I have no idea why a Uruguayan passport would be on this list, it shouldn't be until the Uruguayan government changes this law - and they aren't in a hurry. Uruguayan permanent residency may be worth it, the passport, no.

  479.  @ardentspy  I am not saying that there aren't 25 million people who watched it, but Amazon is counting "views" and has yet to actually define what a "view" is. The fact that they blocked reviews of the show for well over 72 hours are are currently "filtering" them does not give me confidence in anything they are saying about this production. Its fine to like or not like the show, or just sit like a dope on the couch looking at whatever is on the idiot box not even forming an opinion, but calling people who don't like RoP racist is gross and fundamentally dishonest. Amazon spent a billion on an IP, but they made a show that is not for fans of that IP. I would imagine, somewhere deep in Amazon Inc., someone is having a think about that. A billion is a lot of money, even for a large company. Especially if it really is an ego project for Bezos because it is getting spanked by HotD.

Of course there are exceptions and one can receive unexpectedly good or unexpectedly bad service anywhere (and it can be especially bad in big cities and tourist traps). I can deal with bad service, I actually think its funny sometimes. And you can certainly relax more in non-tipping cultures. Scandinavians for instance are never standing around with their hands out waiting for tips. You get what you get, and you like it or not. Oh, and Scandinavians are my type LOL, so the scenery is generally worth the price of admission.

  487. @Fauci is-a-liar Yeah it is. I live in DC. I just have to drive about 45 minutes in any direction and it starts becoming very different to DC itself. Actually more so than going to most other places I travel outside the US as far as how the people behave, especially as regards the pandemic. Yes, the federal government overreaches constantly. Yes, big tech is evil. Yes, the country has serious issues. But my parents were locked at home for over a year in Argentina and needed special permission to travel even within the country. The reaction to the pandemic is not a thing unique to the US. The whole freaking planet lost its mind and most governments seemed to really enjoy the extra power. I know it is not fashionable to say this on this hate America channel but If you are anti "health uber alles" most of the the US (outside the big blue blob areas) is pretty good as far as the virus response. This is one thing about the US that is trending in the right direction. My biggest current complaint is that the US will not let unvaxxed foreigners enter at all, and the test for citizens to re-enter is rubbish.

  490.  @serhat1  If they were in a group on a beach full of tourists they were probably irritated by various wandering vendors but not harassed. The other lady and I are discussing one on one personal harassment on the streets of Istanbul. It was extremely unpleasant. I have travelled pretty much everywhere and am not the fainting couch type, but it was too much for me. I wasn't mugged or molested beyond words and eyeballs, but other solo female travelers may want to be aware of this. It was a lot of words and eyeballs.

  491.  @musiciansonships3898  I will just sum it up like this, in Istanbul I had to be on the extreme defensive all the time when walking around. No eye contact, walking briskly, ignoring little comments and people (men) accidentally walking too close to me. In broad daylight. I would never live in a place like that. Maybe its just me and you that have had this issue, but I doubt it. I was dressed for business, walking around during the day, and I am an experienced traveler.

  492.  @serhat1  I have never been harassed as much and as constantly as in Istanbul. Has nothing to do with Islam, actually in many Islamic countries/Muslim areas its quite the opposite, especially for modestly dressed women.

I know I harp on this, but it is a thing now and if it can happen once it can happen again and spread around to other places as bad ideas generally do. You need more than one other option, and its probably a good idea that at least one of those options is a more "creative" country that will not (or is not organized enough to) pull that crap. I have a taste for clean places with no street dogs, but I am willing to get on a chicken bus these days in order to be able to move around and not be locked out of my beach house. F U Uruguay, F U.

Many people reside in the US for $0, and even if you cross in illegally or overstay a visa, Biden is not going to deport any future Biden voter so you can naturalize over time via about 1000 different methods (marriage, children, work, legal aid, complaining on TV). I am a legal immigrant from Argentina, I went to the US on a work visa, fell in love and married a local. I made money during the entire process as I was working, earning much more than I would have back home. The US has issues, but its more stable than anything south of Texas if that is what you are after. If you want action and growth and want to live in a developing country, Peru may be better.

This is where most girls lived in larger cities - they are/were cheap, clean and safe. 0% of respectable Japanese women would have stayed in a co-ed hostel or apartment situation.

Generally when I say this to a guy, he equates h0 with hot and normal woman with ugly, but it is more about mentality than looks (although h0s do know how to market themselves to the opposite sex really well, its in the job description). Social media has destroyed dating IMO, it throws off the supply and demand equations. And feminism, of course, has done tremendous damage to society at large (men like complicated women! not!). But I am a complete ladynerd and was able to find a great spouse and became a bit of a trad, so you probably can find that life too if you want to do that. Just stay away from toxic h0s, please.

He seems like a guy who wants to do it his way, so he should do that. He clearly has the talent and the money and he seems too loud for DW anyway. I will continue to subscribe to both DW and whatever Crowder makes - as an aside if Crowder's thing is to take on people hated by Big Media and Big Tech, pick up Gavin McInnes. That guy is loud like Crowder, hilarious, and is not actually a Not See.

For your kids it doesn't matter - their US taxes will have nothing to do with you. We dont have familial taxation, yet, lol.

Leaving almost nothing to watch, which is good. Watching dumb stuff is a waste of time. What is scary is that these PSAs and washings do work, dummies are very easily programmed by the television. I am sure there are quite a few out there who now think Anne Boleyn was black, or that African women were running southern Norway in 900AD.

So stop voting, please.

  574. Holland once again had zero questions from me about vax status on entry, I just got back from there. The airline I flew to get there did have questions, and they were jerks about it. Pro tip: if you want to go to Germany, fly to Amsterdam and drive. Germany is still pretty nuts. I feel like travel is a crapshoot these days, you never know what is going to happen. At any point some airline employee or immigration official can say "Wait! Where is your 19th booster shot declaration! Do you want to kill grandma?!"

  575. I am mad that "serial shoplifters" have more rights than store employees. Its not just the cops, its the awful prosecutors (especially the Soros gang) that refuse to punish criminals.

  578. Offending people is either a crime or it is not a crime.

Bearded lady elf NPCs with weird afro-dreads hair (WTF is that hairstyle haha, did these devs even attend an art class) are likely in the future, and if you do not want them you are a Nazi. Which is fine, it is another reminder that I do not need to be wasting time on an MMO. I have one of those lifetime subs, so I can't even cancel.

  584. Exactly. And many states have big blue crap-hole cities that can and do swing the entire state. Just one big college town is sufficient in some places once they pass that law where college kids can declare residency in the state where they attend university. And the federal government is overwhelmingly run by lefty bureaucrats, so the more power the feds get over the states the worse all of this becomes. You cant just hide in the country forever laughing and not caring - they will come for you and you will be forced to comply.

I get the whole "I have expatriated and no longer care" but lets not be willfully silly. If I were a D it would be a top 5 on my D wish list and if they win "bigly" in GA they can (and likely will) do it. After all, its for the fairness, right?

  591. Also watch out for bond initiatives. They aren't retroactive but I just became a US voter and the citizens in my area recently voted to add a big "one time" government surcharge to themselves (because it had a nice "Save all the Kittens Now!" type title and because they are stupid). This is In an area where the government serves nobody well. Its just a theft so that politicians can pay their friends to pretend to build something (infrastructure! its for the children!) and they don't even hide it. I had silly ideas about how Americans were and how they thought before I moved here! I thought they were smarter than this! If they can surcharge me once, they will absolutely do it over and over, with the support of 50.00001% of the voters. Frustrating.

Was it just too small so she put that red pin on the fiddly bits to hold it together? Well, whatever it was I am sure we all take her more seriously as a feminist icon actress now! At least we know how she got the job, why she is in the show at all had been a mystery until now.

  607. Aside from all the obviously terrible things about RoP I think that casting Galadriel as a main character with a plot arc and drama is a bit like casting gravity or fire as a main actor in a movie. She is a force of nature, something constant and fundamental. A plot arc really does not suit this sort of character. I honestly hope there is no season 2, seeing Tolkien being corrupted by Amazon and The Required Themes is becoming depressing.

  608.  @not_listening2792  I am sorry to have to say this, but if you have less melanin than the person you are "bettering" or more testosterone and you are in the US, you will probably get fired for being one of the many -ists or -phobes harassing them in the workplace (unless you are a man in a dress I guess?). Preferred demographics are entitled to be your harbor pilot, airline pilot, heart surgeon, or air traffic controller without much regard to competence. The worst victims of this scheme are of course qualified and competent people in the preferred demographics, who are assumed to be DEI hires.

Costa Rica is currently vaccinating all its kids, Argentines and Peruvians were locked at home for like a year, Chile is still nuts, Uruguay is on booster round one million and the list goes on and on. I hear Nicaragua never had mandates or lockdowns but I have not fact checked that yet. Nor is that proof that it won't happen in the future, Ortega can do whatever he wants with the place. I know its not popular to say here but most of the US is the best I've been if you do not want to be jabbed, masked and locked down.

It's great everyone has finally noticed the issue but it is a shame some dude had to beat up a bunch of chicks on live TV for people to notice. I predict nothing will be done, the trans lobby is just too strong. And yes, I know the difference between androgen insensitivity and being voluntarily trans, I just don't care. The result is the same when they compete as women, and about 7 billion of us just saw it.

It can be quite spicy, so I am not sure where the "bland" is coming from - maybe the Ethiopian chef made the bland version for gringos? Anyway, food, politics, why do they have to be together? I guess because lefties can only judge by "whitepeoplebadracissss" metrics.

You would be denied entry to Canada either by an airline or at the border. US law is that unvaxxed foreigners cannot enter. I too have heard stories of Canadians crossing over via roads, but I've never met a Canadian who has successfully done so. I fear this is an urban legend. Border patrol takes its job seriously on our Northern border.

The majority of our society actively supports or goes along with this garbage, from the very bottom to the very top. There is actually a lot of power and profit in race baiting, so expect a lot more of it. The West has sunk so low that things will have to get really bad before the pendulum swings back.

This hotel owner still has to pay all the huge Chicago taxes, of which there are tons (there are even special Chicago only taxes). If that is not a big chain hotel the owner may actually need the money. But again, given the electorate and what they just replaced Lightfoot with I have little hope. The tax base will eventually completely fail so these blue cities and states will fail, and then want bailouts, which they will probably get. So not just a local issue.

  665. They want inflation because the US is a debtor nation. For them inflation means they can pretend to pay their debts with fake money. My country (Argentina) pretty much wrote the book on this. The US could raise interest rates and stop their irresponsible monetary policy and "fix" it (with a lot of pain), but they won't. Next comes wage and price controls and increased divisive rhetoric for political gain, just listen to Brandon right now. He is basically a sock puppet being run by the loony American left (and Ron Klain), getting whatever they want and being mad about it.

  672. Affirmative action Carl Sagan strikes again. Tyson failed to obtain a PhD from UT on the first try, so he got a do over. I am sick of this guy being called a genius and brilliant. He is a man/human/person/whatever he identifies as today on his spectrum of average intelligence with a huge ego and melanin. We need a new term for these types - scientologist is taken and they aren't scientists. Scientiques? I dunno, but there are lots out there.

  674. "Sarah Celeste" Griffith still has its website up, a Wordpress blog, and a fundraiser for facial feminization that seems to be locked right now. It does not seem to be hiding or even worried about repercussions.

  675. You are making it far too complicated. Just play for the team you belong on, we all know what that is. Just like we all know what a woman is. We do not need to change all the rules and redefine everything for a few people who are doping, cheating, or have an extremely rare genetic disorder. If you want to play co-ed soccer for fun, that is obviously fine and always was.

  676. I actually think womansplaining is more of a thing than mansplaining. I can think of maybe 1, 2 times in my life I felt like some guy "mansplained" at me, but I do admit that I probably womansplain 10x a day to my husband. Good thing he's not a pussy, so he doesn't care.

  679.  @goldenegg1063  StudioLux, its American I think but an amazing bidet-toilet. I was a bidet style toilet skeptic before getting it, but I am a skeptic no more. Get one, seriously. Take out a loan if you gotta.

  680.  @chanelc0  People reach deep these days in the search to be offended. I've heard the "America" complaint once or twice in Argentina (from women who like being offended) and zero times in Uruguay. Personally I think if Uruguay could eject itself from the Americas and stick itself onto Europe it probably would. I am American by immigration/naturalization and from Argentina. I am neither offended nor confused by these facts. Why echo silly complaints? Peru is Peru, Uruguay is Uruguay, Mexico is Mexico and Argentina sucks. LOL.

  683. The Dutch government does not like citizens to have 2 or more passports. Germany is also very difficult about allowing citizens to have second passports. I believe Austria is the same.

  684.  @madsgedanken6903  They allow it under "special circumstances" only. The new German government says they may change this, I am waiting but not overly optimistic.

  685.  @madsgedanken6903  I have no idea how someone got a German and an Australian passport years ago, it must have been under "special circumstances". The current government has just now said it MAY relax the rules, but honestly, don't take my word for it (obviously you won't), verify with a German immigration attorney. Germans are also extremely picky about immigration by descent. I am currently sitting in a room with about 20 Germans who would immediately get a second passport were they allowed to do so. And I would get a German passport if it the rules were not so strict.

  688. All Tolkien elves have long hair, therefore wouldn't they all have to put their hair in braid-crowns when fighting? Or for some reason only ladyelves have to do this? These showrunners suck at everything.

  689. Hi from 4 months in the future, and the average German voter unfortunately did not see any of the things you pointed out. They voted for the lie once again, are now putting their heads in the sand pretending everything is fine, and they all have AfD derangement syndrome.

  690. I have a house in a little town with an Indian run convenience store and I have gotten to know them over time. Their lives are pure Bollywood, for instance their daughter has gone full US lefty girl native and had a little black baby with a deadbeat dad guy, which is absolutely no-kay with the fam. They made her give up the baby (some Indians came and took it to India) so she sits outside the store smoking weed 24x7. Anyway, for the funding for their particular store, a rich Indian tends to "loan" them money to go to America and buy some crappy store in BFE (under 100K) and then that guy installs his Indian serfs there, and farms them for money over time. They spread around and change Indians among US locations, we have some new ones recently who burn so much incense my eyes water in the store now.

  694. An all white dorm at Howard would be OK? Just stop it, this guy is ridiculous. Also its OK to discriminate against Asians in higher education because not very many white people want to go to Howard? How is this guy a college professor? She did a good job at highlighting his nonsense. He is just a boring, run of the mill leftist. Unfortunately far too many black people are these days. His pronouns are boring, dumb and silly. Hers are awesome, refreshing and intelligent.

  699. I don't like this debate, the expectation for Biden will be so low that unless he falls down and poops himself during the debate he will be declared the winner. The problem is that before every debate they will isolate Biden in a basement, fill him with adderall and B vitamins and whatever else they used on him for the last debates, and he will be bad but not fall down. Add to this a lefty debate moderator and its just not going to be good for Trump.

  700.  @Redneckboy991  I hate that our US borders are closed to unvaxxed Canadians (and unvaxxed everyone else). Maybe with a regime change in the US this policy will change. Then you could just drive out and never look back. I saw what lockdown was like in Argentina, absolute insanity, very similar to Canada maybe worse. A big sorry from me on behalf of my stupid government holding hands with your stupid government to the detriment of us all.

  703.  @ib9511  I hear Americans complaining about having to take a PCR test (rapid test, whatever, all these BS tests) when returning to the country. But for citizens (who are the only voters, in theory) there is no vax mandate to enter, just the annoying test. The mandate is just for foreigners who want to enter the country legally. I do not hear Americans complaining about the border vax mandate at all, so I think it will be with us a long time. I hate that it makes a prison colony out of Canada, and I hate that my unvaxxed foreign friends cannot visit. Maybe 2024. It cannot come soon enough.

  704. Depends where you live. Outside big cities a car is great if you don't just want to go where they have built railroad tracks.

  705. These reviews are better than the ones that Pizza Express in Woking got, you know the one that once received a royal visit to eat the spicy curry pizza (or whatever it was, you brits really should not be allowed near a pizza *ducks and covers*).

  706.  @Shcreamingreen  Yes, the cinematographer clearly had Dr. Strangelove in mind! And the subject provided the Bond villain persona gratis. All he needed was a long haired cat to stroke. In spite of all that the interview was very interesting. Thanks again for the info!

  707. I am a romance novelist (yes, I wanted to write the great novel but I have to eat - sue me). We now have sensitivity editors and readers in the romance genre. If you don't have LGBTQetc representation and fat handicapped Haitian heroines and all the rest of the woke nonsense you no longer get published. Young adult is even worse - gotta get 'em young.

  708. Sarah could be the younger sister of the ginger lesbian love interest (stablehand? whatever) with freckles from Willow. So all actresses will look like this going forward I guess? Ah Hollywood, so creative.

  709. Clemenceau? I am dubious about any list with this on top, no disrespect to all the others on the list. There are many fine hospitals on Earth. Many doctors (the ones people want to see) in Lebanon are Lebanese-Americans fresh off the boat from California, botoxing the Real Housewives of Beirut. But no way anyone should fly to Clemenceau for a procedure (unless they are maybe in Syria, but even then just get yourself to Israel). Pick a hospital in a country where the power is always on. Anywhere you directly pay for the service called healthcare you will get better service and pricing than a place where it is third party paid and regarded as an entitlement. FWIW my rich Lebanese relatives always fly to the Cleveland Clinic, version 1.0.

  710. I don't need people to "look like me" to identify with them and I am sorry that this is where we have arrived as a species. I identified with the themes of Tolkein, which are pretty universal. There are no elves, dwarves or hobbits at all. We do not need to dub Antonio Banderas on Frodo for the inclusivity. This kind of thinking is cancer.
