  • I hear what you’re saying, but if I may provide an extreme example… Try wearing a sauvastika in the western world these days and what do you think the response will be? Once a symbol of abundance and prosperity became the most prominent hateful symbol for generations. Decades after the annihilation of Nazi Germany and the swastika is still given their interpretation. I don’t have an answer as to how to prevent this from happening all over again like it is to a lesser degree with vocabulary such as this is describing.


















  • My opinion: these hosts have to be so polarized on every opinion that they have to choose a side. Star Trek or Star Wars, she claims to not endorse Star Wars since it’s too “buzzword” and now has to identify as the opposite, despite having no knowledge or affection for the Star Trek franchise. I don’t know if it’s just the screenshot where she’s doing the hand signal backwards, but that’s about the most basic layman Star Trek cultural identifier out there. So of course she doesn’t know they have had non and third gendered species since TOS & Enterprise, along with a myriad of other issues addressed that she would get fired from that channel if she even reported on them as options.



  • More affordable and better job opportunities is a stretch. I would research where you want to live, once you have a few locations picked out. Find a way to spend some time there to be certain you enjoy the climate, social life, and entertainment. Then start job hunting in those areas, unless you can already remote work, and pick one that works for you in terms of finances, work life balance, and is commutable. Once you have a job offer in hand plan your move. Personally I would rent for a bit before buying a house, who knows maybe you end up hating the hot summers of the South, or the fridged windy winters of the Midwest. After renting for a little (and finances allowing) think about buying a place to settle down in.

    That should cover the basics but I did just do that from memory. Anyone think of any more tips let em loose.
