I did think a lot of the costumes and set design were almost Monty python / ewok, I guess I mean prop-like rather than believable.

I had no idea the budget was so much larger.

Jerboa is cool. Endless scroll

Snorkeling.

Oh, haha, I know that game.

That’s actually why I converted to speech to text most of the time.

Oh bummer, it looks like it’s still working for me five hours later.

What does that mean, generating steps? Is that what has been wrong with newpipe recently?

Cool. I tried reinstalling several times, but not since yesterday, so I think I just missed the update.

It’s working now, thanks.

Hey it looks like it’s back up, I just uninstalled, reinstalled again and it’s working now.

Thank you, I actually uninstalled it and reinstalled it just now and it’s working again!

Okay, thanks.

Figured I’d check if I was missing something

A lot of South American countries are adding the legal rights of nature to their laws and even constitutions.

It’s working.

That’s great to hear

Hahaha, that looks awesome.

Yeah why aren’t More games focused on kicking in doors?

I love reading these updates every couple years.

So psyched to talk to whales.

Remove the battery and power cable and hold down the power button for 15 seconds to clear any voltage bouncing around in there, that can cause startup issues.

After that, If you have the same problems, I would throw a clean minimal OS on there after a backup.

I appreciate it.

Please try to focus on relevant suggestions that can help someone in need.

They can determine which suggestions work for them, no need for you to poke holes or stoke fear.

My suggestion of

1. getting certified and moving somewhere near or far away with greater opportunity/lower cost, providing a suitable budget example

versus you saying

2. moving is scary?

I’d rather you not equivocate those positions.

OP can benefit from concrete options and support, not detractions.

Did you send op a suggestion also?

Or a new city, or a new job.

For you specifically, family connections are at the top of your mind, but for OP it sounds like surviving is at the top of their mind right now.

Most people have a comfort zone, but if the alternative to trying something new is throwing everything away, dip a toe outside of your comfort zone.

Enough people have asked for help and taken me up on it that I don’t stop trying to help people when they ask for it.

Humans are conservative, but enough of them have the wherewithal or are forced into circumstances where they have to take the first step into the unknown.

Living abroad specifically is so much more comfortable than living(struggling) in the US, and there are so many ways to do it easily.

Fuck that rat race shit.

I live abroad. If you have the money to survive the US for a month, you can survive for many months abroad.

Getting certified as an English teacher takes a few days, and you’ll be saving $1 to $2,000 a month after living expenses in a lot of countries.

No degree or skills outside of native English speaker required.

If you don’t want to travel or teach, cheap RVs + 24 hour fitness subscription for showers is a very comfortable lifestyle that cuts rent out of the equation.

If $4,000 is too much for the RV, you can find an SUV for half the price in suburbs outside of larger cities and throw a memory foam mattress in the back.

If it took you months to find a job, I’d look outside of where you are.

Search classifieds in other cities and be willing to move if the city you’re in isn’t serving your needs.

I do recommend moving out of the country rather than the state though.

Real quick to give you an idea of the costs of living abroad; siam reap, Cambodia is 3$ a day for a shared hostel, 8$ and up a day for a private room, utilities included, food will cost you less than $5 a day and if you cook for yourself, food’ll cost a dollar a day.

Very easy and cheap way to get some breathing room while you figure out what to do next.

There are many free and inexpensive certification programs that you can do online without a degree that you’ll be able to turn into better job prospects.

Feasible, yes.

The future? I hope so. We’re nowhere near that yet, with the current economic paradigm focusing on patents and profit.

Thanks.

I like what’s happening now and I’m excited to see what comes next.
