It should just be pictures of Ken Paxton. S/he is dressing like a man to sneak into the men’s bathroom to stare at dude’s dicks and smell their farts. It’s perverted, and the people of Texas shouldn’t stand for it.

Carefully curating you watch history is key. I try to check mine once per week and pull out anything that causes me to get angry about something. Basically if it’s not a video that teaches me how to do something, I remove it.

Albania LOVES Americans. There’s a bunch of history that boils down to America helped make Albania and Kosovo exist. There are statues here of a bunch of former US presidents. Americans even get better visas than anyone else. It’s a 1 year automatic visa on arrival. If you don’t apply for a residency permit in that year, you have to leave for 90 days, then you can stay for another year.

Albania is still developing. Everything has a little more friction than in the US. Quick examples; no Amazon, no real freeways, no drive thrus. The bureaucracy is very much like “papers please”. There aren’t a lot of local jobs. The language is hard to learn fluently, but it’s possible to get by day to day with a few phrases and Google translate.

The people are amazing. The food is great. The entire country is beautiful. If you stay out of Tirana, rent is really affordable. Every time you meet someone, they’ll ask why you’re here because everyone wants to move to America.

Only if you’re a good girl.

I don’t think it’s impolite. As an American migrant to a foreign country, it’s one of the first things most Americans ask each other.

I contracted at plex for 6 months. The employees really care. The developers were very concerned with making the absolute best media server possible. The QA team was doing crazy stuff to try to keep everything working.

If they’re not yiffing, I’m not reading.

At least I’m not the only one who had this idea

Sure, but imagine you join a meeting and the lead engineer is sitting in a ball pit. Isn’t your first response going to be to laugh? Then he shifts to grab something and slowly sinks out of frame. It’s 100% going to make whatever stupid meeting better.

If only. Shipping on ball pit balls is stupid expensive. I looked at filling a 6x12 office like 3 feet deep and it was going to be almost $3000 once shipping was included. Yes, I am still bitter about it. I just didn’t want to deal with an office chair anymore.

I jumped ship from windows straight to Garuda. It just works. Any question I’ve had DeepSeek has answered correctly the first time I asked.

As an American living in Albania, everyone from here is trying to leave. I don’t get it. More than 96% of people here own their homes. Not have mortgages, own. The cost of living is basically nothing, even when accounting for local wages. I’m like why would you want to move to the US or UK? Do you want to work 16 hours a day so you can eat and have shelter? Do you have some desire to have work be the only thing you can do? It’s baffling.

Absolutely. Most “travel routers” have openvpn installed on them. I have one router set up with my normal internet, and another with a full time vpn’d connection. The VPN router was like $60.

They’re also great to have when traveling. It connects to whatever random wifi, and all of your devices show up as a single device. You turn off the VPN to connect to your hotel’s capture portal, then turn it back on and all of your devices have secure internet.
