@anon3825968 So I know youāve lived quite a few places outside of the U.S. which was your favorite and why?
Not counting Finland where I am now, Belgium / Wallonia, followed closely by Canada / Ontario. Iām being specific because there are more than one country in Belgium and Canada 
Why is complicated, but letās put it this way: living somewhere is like marrying someone: your wife may be beautiful, intelligent, strong, or a bit dull, a bit dumbā¦ itās a combination of things. The woman you end up spending the rest of your life may not be terribly pretty or smart, but sheās the right person for you. Same when you āadoptā a country.
But if I have to pick one reason: the Belgians donāt take themselves too seriously, and Canada is kind of the right mix of the best the US, the UK and France have to offer.

I get that. I went through some deep dark shit in my life. Coming out the other side I opted for the Geographic Cure. I moved to a place of my choosing. Itās funny when I tell people who live here that I had the opportunity to move anywhere in the world, or at least in the U.S. with no problems, and I chose the backwater that they canāt wait to leave behind.
This place is a back woods kinda thing. Far from conveniences of the big cities, but I chose that on purpose. I also found peace here, which I desperately needed. Canāt really tell you whatās special about this place, yet it is very special to me. Home. I was lost, and now Iām Home.

Yeah, thatās something I learned a long time ago: put a man in heaven, and soon heāll get bored and find something to complain about.
All the countries Iāve lived in have amazing and beautiful things to offer. All the states have fantastic services and opportunities that anyone can take advantage of if they care to. All the cultures Iāve had the chance to know with some intimacy are rich and diverse. Yet invariably, the locals think their neck of the woods is kind of meh, and they all express an interest in moving elsewhere for their retirement.
Itās the grass is greener effect. I just donāt understand itā¦
Happens often, yeah, but I have to say that Iām just pretty happy where I live, even though I was born here. Germany has a lot of advantages for me, personally, and the city where I live might be a bit boring (and a tad too hipster-loaden), but other nice cities are easily to reach. Additionally, the area of the city where I live (a bit outside) is calm and beautiful, weāve got a really big forest (that in parts hasnāt been touched for some hundred years) about 100 meters from our house, our neighbors are friendly as well - it is home, and I wouldnāt want to live anywhere else. At least not permanently - traveling is fine

Yeah Iāve just been considering where Iād like to move when I get out of Uni. Canada will definitely be the easiest (since I can move there without a visa for 6 months). But have also considered various parts of Europe and Australia.
Which I have plenty of time to decide it just kinda lands in the general curiosity of where I could quite possibly spend the rest of my life.
The one place I want to live, is not a place that would be safe for my family and I.
Afghanistan.
Beautiful country, at least where I was for a bit.
Funny how I wouldāve never seen how beautiful it was had you not said anything. Some of the pictures I found are truly stunning. But if you just straight google it all you see is the mountains and military bases.
Random derail.
Would someone knowledgeable be willing to start a how to thread on reading / writing tags?
Iād like to see a how to-ish thread that starts with some of the simpler stuff like phone apps and then works to progessively harder / more capable stuff like the proxmark and itās variants.
Iād do it myself, but Iām just getting ready to learn it and cant teach as a result.
Derail squared.
Finally hit up the guy at work about enrolling my NExT. Got a flat no. He wasnāt trying to be a jerk or anything, itās just that the system is one of those proprietary walled garden things. He also mentioned how god awful exspensive replacement badges were. Iām gonna poke around a bit and see if I canāt figure a cheap badge solution. If I can, it might just buy enoug gratitude to secure my admission to enrollment.

How tough would it be to get the pope to bless an implant? I kinda want to make some heads explode.

Thats the whole plan! It would be something like a titan (Maybe I could even etch a papal cross!)

Ahh yes but then the cross could be upside down, and we wouldnāt want that would we? Lol
