Seconding this. Moving to another country without skilled work history and/or higher education in a niche field that would be of use to the destination country is extremely hard to do. You, basically, have to beat out a skilled worker that already lives there. The other option is to be wealthy and buy your way in.

A lot of people have this misconception that moving elsewhere is easy. Turns out, when assholes yell at you about leaving the country when you don't like something, they're not being genuine and more doors are closed to you than open.

And, if you're asking yourself how all the other immigrants are doing it, I can guess that they're possibly being exploited with by pay that won't be a living wage and/or have a desperate situation back home.

Interestingly, I've seen a few people warn that, when poop finally hits the fan because of ww3, you don't necessarily want to be the othered, new family on the block.

Take my words with a grain of salt, but reality might be much different than people think when it comes to jumping ship.

I feel like it is by design. Windows 11 collects vastly more info about a user than Windows 10, or so I've read. There's probably better sources out there than this article, but I'm lazy right now.

Hey, friend. I am not a doctor and I cannot diagnose you, but, if these kinds of thoughts are constantly on your mind and cause anxiety, you might wanna glance over the symptoms of something called "existential ocd" to see if you relate. Ocd has a lot of subtypes and they aren't well known among the general public. There's also helpful videos on YouTube about existential ocd. I hope you find relief.

I'mma say The Bear. The Bear is more of a representation and depiction of mental health issues than, say, giving the viewer tools. The show is both dark and light and covers a lot: Suicide, anxiety, addiction, alcoholism, abuse (by a possible narcissist), family dysfunction, identity, familial loss, etc. The Bear has some of the most meaningful character development and growth I've seen in a very long time. (Note: The show is intense and will be tough for people who might get highly immersed or have easily dysregulated nervous systems.) The Christmas episode called "Fishes" blew me away and will probably be in my Top Ten Episodes Of Any Show list for a very long time. I wasn't even interested in culinary arts or Chicago. I just put it on randomly and got sucked in.
