It's easier than ever to deploy a web app, so what does the industry do? Complicate it. -

The world will be a much more dangerous place when that happens (has to happen eventually, though we disagree a lot on that timescale).
Think about what you're saying for a minute here. Think about all the wars and conflicts that inevitably result as part of a great power vacuum. Most recently, the fall of the USSR. -

watch less TV.Often, when I encounter a perception of reality which I find simply fantastic, I try to make that observation concrete by imagining what it would actually take to turn the real reality, that I believe I live in, into this amazing fantasy.
For example, let’s suppose (I am indebted for this analogy to some Twitter wag, whom I can’t find now) the US Constitution worked like the first-person shooter Halo. If you occupy the center of the Rotunda for more than 90 seconds, you become the Congress. You can pass laws and stuff.
The masters of the law of the land are no longer the Struldbrugs of the committees—you gibbed them all with your plasma rifle 1.5 seconds after you blew down the door. The masters are you, and your buddy @hitler420bongman—who covers you while you legislate—at least, for as long as the two of you can stay alive and on the circle… the Bongman is a 13-year-old kid, you think, from somewhere near Philly… amazing shot…
In this world, occupying the Capitol is indeed a historic threat to the continuity of government. Anyone who makes it past the last bosses to the Rotunda, then can defend the space, has literally interrupted that continuity. In fact, once the circle in the floor turns green, and you can start to legislate, you (and the Bongman) have technically founded America’s Second Republic. (Or, arguably, like its sixth or something.) -

Originally posted by aldra what are you specifically asking about time? like, if you were to pay the entire value up front how long it'd take before you can move in?
It's more how long I'd have to be in the country to get it all done. I'll need some time to find a house I like, then I'm wondering how long after that I'd have to hang around to sort out the paper work.
I'm thinking I might spend a whole quarter getting it all sorted. -

Typical white remote work immigrants.

That and Canada won't let me in.
They want low cost blue collar workers, or extremely successful self employed people. -

2021-09-20 at 10:12 PM UTC in How long does it take to purchase a house?alright. I'll block myself out a few months to be safe.
I've got major FOMO going on here. I need to secure myself something before all my hard earned savings get pissed away by spiralling real estate costs.
I'll rent the cunt out I guess, until I can live in it. -
2021-09-20 at 10:03 PM UTC in How long does it take to purchase a house?I'm interested in buying a house, but not where I am now (it's complicated, but I'm stuck in this jurisdiction until 2024).
So when covid calms its tits a bit, I plan to go to Australia and buy a house there. How the fuck long does that take? Weeks? Months? -
