That is what I think about when thinking about Gen X. I have clear examples because I'm myself in the millennial range, my (much) older brother is Gen X and my parents are boomers. I'd never lump my bro with the boomers and I consider gen X as a whole pretty chill. They're all the bands I grew up listening to and carried the bulk of what made the 90s great. Boomers have fine individuals but as a whole they're nasty.

Anyone out of the EU can VPN to an EU country and benefit.

I feel like Australia and New Zealand is kind of like England and Scotland in that sense.

As in, in similarly remote areas? If that's the case then I'll count myself lucky that it's Québec I'll likely move to next.

Sure, I'm myself planning on being in a place like that, in Quebec, eventually. Just saying that's the reason it's cheap, not because it's Quebec. I'm sure you can get similar prices in bum-fuck nowhere in whales or the Highlands or something.

That house is really far away from anything, don't trust your instincts about distance when looking at the map that country is massive.

Hidden in plain sight, very cunning.

Yeah I've only been once and I was way too busy being extatic about tacos to think about eating anything else but local stuff while I was there. These sushi and that stand actually looked really nice, which is why I was checking it out, but yeah I'm not about to drop Michelin star restaurant kind of money for airport sushi.

Are these dollarydoos? I mean it's cheap even if USD, damn, here we can really just get it delivered, and then it's like 20/25€ per person kind of thing for run of the mill sushi. I think some of the more expensive supermarkets sometimes have small boxes but these are gross and not that much cheaper.

Still, I'll always remember checking out the sushi stand at Mexico airport and figuring out after checking my conversions that they were 7/8$ PER SUSHI! I stopped complaining about my local prices after that.

I think the idea is that through federation/defederation, the fediverse is more protected against this. Right now we're all mostly interacting with the whole rest of Lemmy besides obvious trolls/menaces because it's small, but eventually you'll start getting "neighbourhoods" with more curated instances you wish to subscribe to or not.

Don't want to see the mainstream garbage? Then avoid the mainstream instances and curate your own little corner of the internet.

I mean, I would, but the job security seems really bad for that role.

They're sensible cars, do what they say on the tin and aren't too expensive to buy and repair. Back in the days I wouldn't buy them and preferred Japanese for reliability but I hear in more recent times they've become much more reliable as well.
