Yeah, there’s a weird implied statute of limitations type of thing with remains. Like thousands of years ago, we can learn so much and uncover history by looking at remains. But you don’t learn much and it’s weird and presumably illegal to dig up recent remains.

I dunno what that time limit is, but to me at least it feels like it exists and intuitively makes enough sense

Yup, same! Or I think of Two Trucks by Lemon Demon

Jesus that’s funny. I guess I am gonna go put that on right now while I shave too.

I’m in Asheville NC not Tampa. We’re not built for the hurricane we got.

Insurance covers very little. Not the fact that the city won’t have water for months, nor access to you property, nor flooding for the majority of people, and many many businesses are gone

All of this sounds so exciting. Thanks for the reply.

So excited and so overwhelmed.

We’re moving from the US to Denmark soon. We just had a hurricane destroy our city. We are fine, thankfully, but our city is in bad shape. I also just had a decently big surgery a few weeks ago and my doctor’s office is gone, so in the midst of all this I have to find a doctor. Just coincidental timing on all of it.

But it’s net positive. I look forward to the future more than I dread the bad stuff.

We’re moving away from the US, did you misread that or are you suggesting we should flee further than Europe?

Yeah, I’ll be in Copenhagen. I hope to not own a car at all! Just a bike and public transit

That’s great, I like that a lot. As the commenter below said, sounds like New England to an extent. I’m fine with that and happy with less superficial

The former :)

Yeah, this is all great advice. I work for a very European style company in the US and will work for a Danish company in Denmark. So I’m not expecting total culture shock (like our CEO currently wears a T-shirt and sneakers, you can have a beer with him) like going to Japan would be, but also looking forward to less work focus.

Yeah, the mental math of money, units, will all be a lot. But we’ll get used to it!

I’m stoked for the smaller, car-free, perhaps simpler life.

That’s great advice. I’m really excited to experience it and really embrace it. Thank you!

They are helping set up a bank account, thankfully.

Yeah, for sure we are leaning in and gonna try to learn Danish. Worst case my wife and I have a secret code language to ourselves in the future :)

We don’t intend to return, but anything could happen in life

Ah this is great! We are doing some Danish, and will continue to learn it. We’ll be in Copenhagen, which will make leaning on our English a little easier.

I’m an engineer, and my work will be all in English, which is a great way to start.

I spent ~$8,000 USD on shoulder surgery this year. I can’t wait for healthcare lol

Oh switching to metric is a great idea.

Denmark :)

Fair enough, moving to Denmark!

That is just one, I answered him thrice :)

The End from Return Of The Obra Dinn by Lucas Pope

The title theme from Hades

Rip and Tear from Doom 2016

Man, my parents were cool as shit about this. And I think it had really good consequences for me later on, like in college.

Sex was positively viewed, but strict about protection (rightly so), and drugs were described as a spectrum with weed being very low, and the scary drugs (heroine) being very scary. They were honest about wanting me to wait for drugs and booze till I was more adult, but let me have a few parties with friends where everyone crashed at their house. It was super fun, and very badass feeling. I got to college and was like … Meh? On partying.

Definitely not the only way to go about it, but the honesty helped me weigh consequences of it all a bit better, I think.

Wow, really well said. Extremely important that everyone reads this info above

Edit: thanks for the gold, kind stranger
