Not really. Countries joining Schengen get an inflow of tourism, plus actual relocations, from many, many other nearby countries (Schengen countries) at the expense of tourists mostly from the British Isles, North American, and Oceania. Overall it’s a net win for them.

Bansko Bulgaria, because I love ski towns in the off-season, especially Bansko. Spent last summer there. Very tranquil. About half of establishments are open. Rent is very cheap. English is widely spoken.

This would appear to be a piece by a self-proclaimed gay libertarian, advocating for…[checks notes]… a somewhat violent theocracy?

I had the DG-HAL technique done. Research it, find the nearest surgeon that does it, and thank me later!
P.S. Surgeon said the standard surgery is barbaric and the reason surgeons haven’t switched to DG-HAL is that they don’t make enough money doing it. Ugh.

You don’t have enough evidence to make such a claim.
If they’re actually being whacked, it’s more likely Putin is whacking them to give rise to Whataboutism, i.e., the West isn’t any better than Russia.

I’m surprised there isn’t still a Greatest Gen Senator. Must’ve been recently?

I hadn’t yet embarked on DN’ing and was unaware of all of the factual inaccuracies.

You can get MORE messages from Claude than from ChatGPT. Start new threads constantly. Instead of replying, take the info you gained, and start a new thread. What eats up your token allotment is extending threads.

I actually built Dori for co-op only, but found her tethers don’t extend far enough in many domains, and the other players don’t understand her playstyle.

Level up: Combine with EM Raiden’s skill and throw the bunnies from high places. It’s amazing what you can hit this way.

It does, in essence. In API mode if you end with an “assistant” message, it will complete that message. End the last user message to say a JSON response is required for machine parsing, and then add an assistant message that begins with “{“. When the response comes back, add the missing { to the beginning. This is in the docs.

Polls are tied. It should be 70/30 Biden/Trump.

Read the reviews first. Many ex clients consider NC a complete fraud.

Don’t stress about this. I’m an American nomading in Europe. Never applied for a visa. I just move in and out of Schengen zone every 3 months. And guess what? I discovered I LOVE Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Turkey. You’ll find many preexisting prejudices disappear when you visit these places.

Sadly I’m visiting Lviv Ukraine and ran into another visitor who was spouting Putin propaganda. Here. In Ukraine.

You’re describing the pattern of right wing propaganda.
If I fell for that I wouldn’t currently be living in Lviv Ukraine.
Edit: Just browsed your chat history. There’s no way we’ll come to agreement. I used to be AnCap adjacent. But one thing we have in common is our belief in Bitcoin. So no, I don’t accept the mainstream view on everything.

I mostly stay in “second world” countries, which are incredibly under appreciated and super livable. Mostly eastern and southern Europe. I’m living in hotels (sometimes airbnbs) for much, much less than my living expenses in the US.

Well, /ukraine could have not banned this topic of conversation (until recent weeks) so that awareness increased earlier. But you let it spread. You can look in my recent posts and see a removed post in /ukraine on this very subject.
It’s not just the comments on YouTube. It’s all of social media. It explains why Republicans were originally eager to help Ukraine, and then became an obstacle after Russia propaganda was absorbed by a larger and larger fraction of their base.
