    If the U.S. Isn't an Option, Which Country Would You Choose Today?

    QUESTION 
    Unfortunately, no grass is greener, especially with globalisation. Case in point - with the World Wide Web, you can see people in forums & social media across the world talking about how terrible things are. In English. It really does sound so similar, so often. That's not to downplay peoples'...

    In your forecast, what's happening to the uneducated? Seriously doesn't seem like there's gonna be anything left for the paupers... Especially not any trying to move up. Dunno, just back after the summer... Goddamn, all these AI posts putting the fear of *God* in me. If you're the unskilled...

    Been a minute. Officially got shot down for the funding thing, unfortunately, so I'm back to security. Honestly, after the past couple years, I'm gonna spend a month or two catching as many shifts as possible, then do the bare minimum so I can just enjoy a summer, for once.

    How I turned $20 into $8,500+ in 2 months

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Necro-posting, I know, but reminded me of how I got banned from eBay an hour after signing up, a few years ago. Stories like these make me wonder about whether I should try to find a way to appeal it, find an alternative platform, I don't know.

    Definitely gonna look at it, but I gotta stress again, at this point in time I have no clue whether that satisfies the program's requirements. Freelance work may be the loophole, it might not be. If my case worker was ever in their office instead of working from home, I might be able to get...

    I'm here hoping for ideas outside of a j.o.b - I hate to use the word "hustle," but that's basically what I'm asking about here. Checking out some of the old Gold & Notable threads about this sort of thing, but income is a huge issue in staying in this program. I'm trying to see if...

    It "helps," but we're talking maybe $200/wk. Looking at the cash options.

    This might ruffle some feathers, but F*ck it - pending approval for the program, I'm starting trade school in 2025, under a government program that basically pays tuition & other such costs, and helps with living expenses. All good. However, a big problem is what kind of job I can work in the...

    I've got a real half-cocked question, here - we got any buckskinning fans on this forum? Longhunting & mountain man reenactors & hunters, Fastlaners religious about their rendezvous, AMM aspirants? Double points if you're a Canuck... In case someone misunderstands - this isn't a business...

    GOLD! NEWSLETTER 
    Like Taleb/Fat Tony says, "Words are for sissies." Ironically, there was that little bit where we had to talk on the forum or pay, in order to stay. Is this the forum version of fighting or turning bitch, in prison?

    Going through this, dunno how so many people and their mothers thought, "Look at this @biophase cat. He's only been on this forum for almost its entire lifespan, only has multiple Gold threads, only highly respected among most/all of the other forum heavy hitters... Lemme give this loser a quick...
