Collisions in LEO can chuck debris into orbits which intersect higher orbits. If one of those collides with something in in said higher orbits, you have a problem.

Any northern country is disqualified as they know how to drive in snow. The worst drivers have to be a place that doesn’t get regular snow and rain.
I’ve had people say Vietnam is the worst, but everyone rides slow, are riding from a very young age, and are prepared for literally anything to happen on the road at any minute. The issue isn’t skill, it’s that they’re on hardmode, riding overloaded crap bikes with crap rubber while simultaneously texting, smoking, and drinking. They perform much better than I could in the same situation.

You got at least a month before irregular rains, and 2 months before the wet season actually starts.

Florida literally has a monsoon season where it goes from sunny to pouring to sunny around the same time every day for like 4 months.

When Chomsky was asked what he corresponded with epstein about years ago, he said essentially “none of your fucking business”.
Which is such a bad answer, I am half inclined to believe he just wanted help filing his taxes and a guilty Chomsky would have the sense to lie.

Both of them were clearly demented. Trump just making shit up and Biden interrupting him to mumble incoherent, ending in “We Beat Medicaid!”

So your solution is to help the people even less, and embrace even more republican policy? And think that can win an election?

Foxes didn’t have many domesticatable features, but it just took the Soviets 40 years or so to domesticate them. It really might just be nobody spent 100 years trying.

I was told that kidnappings were a widespread thing that authorities didn’t/couldn’t do much about
The vietnamese tell their kids the chinese will steal you, the chinese tell their kids the vietnamese will steal them.
IDK how safe China was 20 years ago, but children running around independently today isn’t uncommon. It’s not like Japan, but parents seem less helicoptery than America.
I’ve had a few motorbike accidents, including skidding into the opposite lane going around a blind corner after the morning rain deposited silt, that had dried, and a few clise calls like someone turning across my lane to go left, coming up on a blind corner and having to brake and get near the wall after hearing a bus honking from the other side, stalling my bike at an intersection as an incoming dump truck failed to slow down, etc. But like your “I could have fallen on the subway”, the situations weren’t dangerous with proper judgement.

Mental health acceptance is stilk a huge issue
Yes, definitely. Mental health (and regular healthcare in some specific ways) definitely has room for improvement. Only panhandler I remember was a guy asking people for money, with what looked like his mother, saying he had depression.
Also, if I posted any of my posts that I posted here about my mother’s behaviors on the Chinese internet
Depends on who the audience is. I’ve seen quite a few Chinese, particularly LGBT+ posting about their parents on xhs, but presumably there’s not a lot of boomers in their algo.
My ideal country would be one with a lot of Asians (or more specifically, ethnic Han Chinese) but that are westernized
If you have Chinese citizenship, but your hukou is mainland China, can you get a job in Hong Kong? I didn’t like the few hours that I spent there, it’s expensive and charmless, but it’s pretty westernized.

According to google (I am not a lawyer) I don’t have it anymore the moment I got US citizenship
Yes, but if the US says you never actually had citizenship, maybe China will accept that.
If I had to leave the US, I rather go to Canada, Australia, or perhaps EU for asylum
I’ve heard they’ve made it harder to get asylum, and there’s often poor outcomes for asylum seekers, after Arab Spring. If you have a US passport and money to start a business or any extended family, you can stay for quite awhile. This applies to most of Asia too where US passport gets you 90 days on arrival, or 90 day evisa for vietnam. US passports are pretty powerful.
Or perhaps Taiwan, or maybe Singapore.
Never been to either, can’t tell you about it.
I have an existential crisis over it… I’m not even supposed to be alive in this world, I’m an anomoly.
Eh, it’s a different place now. My family who worked there in the 90s and 2000s had completely alien experiences to when I went there in last year. All I’m saying is it’d be wise to be aware of what options you have.

Do you still have chinese citizenship? A few immigrant friends have gotten the paperwork ready, either to return to their home country or immigrate elsewhere, just incase ICE picks them up, they can agree to self-deport instead of ending up in a salvadorian concentration camp indefinitely.
IDK how the chinese US citizenship thing works, maybe China’d accept getting literally deported as proof you’re not a US citizen.

The company that sells the cameras and the police buying them don’t want that. The guy who owns the company that makes most body cams advertises that the cameras don’t record more accurately than the human eye. This enables cops to show a blurry 16fps 720p video and go “it looked like he was pulling out a gun”,m.
