Tom Morello is based as hell

Yeah, especially switching between Xbox and Nintendo mapping with A and B swapped

I don't have a solution, just pain as well

It is breaking my brain to see him in red. I can't wait for this season

Or, if you're a little more friendly: "Fuck trump, eh? What a piece of shit. Let me know if I can help at all, so sorry about all this"

The point is that the opportunities are systemically lower for women, so they end up less experienced on the whole or out of the workforce longer.

Hell yeah! Thanks everyone at both this and the sister community for standing up for what's right. It's nice to be proud of what I browse instead of ashamed

Some good info below. If you have no lineage to anywhere in Europe, there are other options depending on your job and education level (not all encompassing, for sure)

If you get hired for a skilled labor job almost always it'll result in a visa

Ah congrats on the move, squid. We left the US for the EU in December (planned since the summer) and I can't imagine a better choice already. I know you've got a million things going on, and of course job, housing, etc are all top priority, but I have some lighter advice on getting used to a new place.

To meet some people and make some friends, there are lots of volunteer opportunities. It's a fun, helpful, community building way to give a little back.

London has a TON of ex-pats/immigrants. Not that the point is to meet a bunch of Americans or anything, but any you do have left for a reason, so they're more likely to be like minded.

Say "yes" to any bids for connection you can. Even if getting invited to an activity that isn't your jam, if you get an invite, go! It can be lonely at first, and feel like drinking is the only way to meet anyone. But social circles can spread quickly once you get them a little off the ground.

Have fun, and enjoy some piece of mind!

Compared to the US, I'd say they're extremely socially progressive.

Healthcare, low gender pay gap, higher "minimum" wages (I know there's no legal minimum most places but there are commonly accepted lowest wages), very low homelessness, very LGBT+ accepting.

Socially progressive enough? Not for my tastes. But it's a lot better than the US in social systems

I am new to Copenhagen and have heard that it's been a pretty consistent growth in that direction. As someone who lived in the US for years, it feels really refreshing here because of it

I mean the DS was pretty radical at the time.

I feel like Nintendo does a huge innovation, then an iteration or two(or a bunch of little changes), then back to a big change. Wii/WiiU, GB/GBA, DS/3DS, switch/2
