Well I see what you mean before

proud jay

#

I really need some new shoes man

#

I got really used to these laceless ones though

#

so easy to put on

unborn lotus
#

My son has laceless too, they truly are

proud jay
#

wanted to make 1 string strongly typed, had to edit 38 files 🥲

mossy nexus
#

About ⁴10 rates per miliparsec

fleet tangle
#

I have sketchers slip ins. They're fantastic.

brittle holly
#

Yeah, laces are such a waste of time lol

mossy nexus
#

I have a solid pair of hiking boots, laced up in such a way to massively reduce compression over the entire foot, and takes moments to fix / unfix. Plus no danger of them slipping off. Laces rock.

fleet tangle
#

Laces are good when you need laces.

#

Like if you're in rough terrain or running on a track or something.

#

When you want casual/formal shoes, they're a total waste of effort.

#

You're a bad person

mossy nexus
fleet tangle
#

How so?

mossy nexus
#

I'm making a presumption here, I freely admit. I'm presuming you are using the commonly used criss cross pattern of lacing up through the holes?

tulip orbit

wtf, my landscape decided to stop drawing in the PIE

#

Those heels look like they could do some damage, and not just to the poor sod wearing them

lofty lark
#

THREE?

#

I missed that when I first read what you said

brittle holly
#

I heard that if you loop your laces the other way around, counter-clockwise ig, they don’t get loose

lofty lark
#

What does that mean, to loop them counter-clockwise

brittle holly
#

Like when you tie the loop…

mossy nexus
#

Maybe you have to dance in a counter clocwise circle while doing?

lofty lark
#

i don't even wanna click that at this point tbh

mossy nexus
lofty lark
#

I have mixed feelings about this one thinkthinkr

mossy nexus
#

thigh highs they are clearly top of all the rest.

lofty lark
brittle holly
#

We need them self-tying shoe laces

mossy nexus
#

Superglue your shoes to your feet. Sorted.

lofty lark
#

Laceless shows ftw

fleet tangle
#

And that's just what they'll do.

mossy nexus
#

one day

lofty lark
#

unfortunately

fleet tangle
#

It's not like you re-lace the shoe every time you put it on.

mossy nexus
#

No no that would be silly indeed

lofty lark
#

The issue is the time it takes to tie the knot and stuff.
Takes like, maybe 10 seconds.

fleet tangle
#

And you have to bend over or sit down to do it.

#

Or I can just slip my shoes on in under a second and be off.

#

Why have laces for casual footwear?

lofty lark
mossy nexus
#

by reducing the number of cross overs, it lets you easilly adjust the compression. Admittedly not overly needed for townies. Learnt this way back in the day during my stint in the army. Great if you are an active walker though especially up hills and tracks.

lofty lark
#

Blue Man is an ai dependent independent man 😤

broken sigil
#

Ah those are the grandma shoes

fleet tangle
#

I sea what you did there.

lofty lark
#

Gran gran about to break an ankle walking to the bathroom

broken sigil
#

Lol

lofty lark
#

I like the way you think

broken sigil
#

I'm to lazy to even tie the shoelaces, I just put them inside the shoe and that's about it 😅

The Ankle Breakers 9000™️

broken sigil
#

Brb sending you my address

median wraith
#

Yes please

#

but the others are kinda common I would say, at this point

lofty lark
#

yeah because you're wearing enough of these for your whole city

median wraith
#

And usually is a pain for the back

#

When you have issues in the spine cannot wear that kind of shoes that for sure

lofty lark
#

I imagine any shoe could be a pain in the back if someone steps on you

median wraith
#

Its funny how all those laces are fake on corset and shoes

#

in all the modern ones

#

"Sport Shoes"

soft night
#

perhaps skates what can also transform to shoes

median wraith
#

@sand oxide explain

#

lmao

#

haha

#

yeah there is a lot of weird things

#

Panthoes

#

there you go, a cool name for you new game

lofty lark
median wraith
#

there is a lot of cool shoes tbh, if you are a man, you will be using just generic shoe skins on those stores

#

damm, how can you remember that ?

#

well yeah is a search there so hahaa

#

usually that kind of sentences keep on the head forever

unborn lotus
median wraith
#

dammm

#

I was there before on Slack

#

has been a long way

#

lol

#

I don't even have the same computer since 2014 or 2015

#

Epic don't show the date of things

#

I was there on UDK too

#

but in account or person

#

Unreal wasn't my fav by the time, I was on ID Tech forums etc

unborn lotus
#

I was Tim's doula

fathom wadi
#

back before UDK I was doing Hammer, Havok and Crytek. As soon as I switched to Unreal I was sold and dropped them all

median wraith
#

Na I have computer since 2006-2007 so

#

so don't expect anything before that

#

our internet connection in this country wasn't a thing at all

#

by those years you were still using the phone

#

No Laura that's almost 20 years now

#

🫂

#

you started way before with this things than me I bet

#

yeah isn't too hard, kids this days have access to things with 3 years

#

depends of the parents too and many things

broken sigil
#

UE1 is a year older than me berk

#

About a year

median wraith
#

I came with Nvidia

#

that's why I'm the first good 3D looking tech artist

#

Na tbh tech artists are usually way more sexy and artists

#

With mine only watch dogs came

#

and with the 9800GTX+ nothing came

#

but is was 1000€ less than modern ones

#

nope, explain

#

My brain is dry today

#

Damm, I didn't knew about this one hahah

#

ohhh true

#

I do remember that

broken sigil
median wraith
#

yeah and all the people came to post crap here yeah

median wraith
#

It ran UE4.22 way later

broken sigil
#

It's what I first tried to run UE4 on in 2014 and it fried itself as I was installing it lol

#

Oh I remember that email chain lmao

median wraith
#

Why just don't remove the PR option ?

broken sigil
#

Remember waking up to that

median wraith
#

wait what ? wasn't there an option to lock who can make them ?

#

Thought disabling this all would remove the tab

fathom wadi
#

I accept all pull requests then brand the result as a Bethesda game. /satire

median wraith
#

damm

#

they should make this an option to disable all request

#

I have a repo for translations of my games so the people can contribute also for bugs

#

Bet if you get some exp, at some point trolls will come to all the repos

#

making requests etc

maiden orbit
#

this is gonna be great

median wraith
#

damm, Terraria looks different

median wraith
#

do the EG SDK or the engine provides something alike to Remote Play together ?

proud jay
#

don't think so

median wraith
#

well we got this pixel streaming plugin

#

but seems by default a nightmare for players

#

na is between players local stream so you don't pay hosting

proud jay
timber viper
#

who is this Vik and why everyone pings them

cursive crypt
#

VulkanIK

proud jay
brittle holly
#

Vik is good dude but I haven’t seen him around in a bit

proud jay
#

maybe in a byte though

brittle holly
#

I haven’t waited 8x yet

proud jay
#

twobyte?

cursive crypt
#

Two bytes is 16 bits.

proud jay
#

is that a text editor for rich kids though

cursive crypt
#

proud jay

if you sub to my onlyfans I'll show you all my bits

#

how the fuck do philosophers make money

#

is andrew tate a philosopher

brittle holly
fleet tangle
#

I'm not sure children and flame throwers was the best move.

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

so you're saying philosophy is an mlm?

unborn lotus
#

I think so therefore it is

median wraith
#

damm, someone here uses nodejs ?

#

I wanted to use the zipped version but after install a module gets corrupted or idk what

#

proud jay
#

I'd maybe watch edgerunners

#

if I really don't know what to do with my life

broken sigil
#

I have to watch it but I've also heard so many spoilers about it, know some stuff already which is the main thing keeping me from watching it

#

haven't yet, will try later

#

currently "fighting" with MS MPI

#

for something else

#

and there is no Cuda aware MPI for windows cry

proud jay
#

github is down for anything

proud jay
#

having some milk and cookies atm

#

this shit is delicious

brittle holly
#

Ok Santa

proud jay
#

don't tell anyone

#

especially ponkkis

#

he's bad at keeping secrets

brittle holly
#

But ngl some Soft Chunks and warm milk is good stuff 😀

proud jay
#

I'm having these

brittle holly
#

Ooh nice

proud jay
#

very disappointing

#

I would expect no less from a responsable adult

#

damn, you can do walking AND walking with these shoes

#

one of the walkings is sitting down though

#

if you see them outside of any promo context they look really disappointing though

#

it's funny cause ai in dutch, as pronounced as one word kinda thing is like exclaiming disappointment or pain

#

much like oof I guess

broken sigil
#

Need it for distributed training setup for libtorch, it uses MPI for it but there are no MPI libs for windows that are cuda aware

proud jay
#

can't decide whether to get easy comfy shoes, nice looking ones, or both 🤔

#

well it's not like they are bad for me

#

I'm just a lazy fuck

#

see these are easy and comfy, no lace for maximum efficiency

#

but these are just nice you know

#

maybe for if I ever would leave the house 🤔

#

thinking far future here

#

seem great for pooping in the forest tbh

#

ok but why is amazon recommending this to go with shoes

brittle holly
proud jay
#

I think I prefer this one though

brittle holly
#

lol tf

#

Talk about shin splints

proud jay
#

there will be shin splinters probably

#

internet really ruined me

#

any of you ever used a french press coffee maker?

#

my dad gave me one

#

but I literally don't know how they work lol

brittle holly
#

I think the instructions say you need to be rich to use one

proud jay
#

rip

sure

#

oh that's from that midnight in paris movie right?

#

I think that was the name

median wraith
proud jay

trying to center a div

ok should be full res if you do this

#

ok these are pretty

#

yeah

#

yeah it's MJ

it sometimes produces weird styles if you give it some obscure prompt like this one

I really don't know how front end people do it

it's so boring and tedious

#

damm son, got the pixelstreaming working

broken sigil
#

got some cold weather today so had to turn on my space heater

lofty lark
#

I blame my 7950x as the reason my apartment has maintained 73F for over a week despite it being <50F outside and my heat turned off kek2

broken sigil
#

gonna be retiring my 5950x when the next amd cpus come out

lofty lark
#

You gonna put it in a lil case, display it next to your who-knows-how-many GPUs? hehe

broken sigil
lofty lark
#

gonna be retiring my 5950x when the next amd cpus come out
And so, it was a lie.

#

"Your retirement, is more work! Just at a slower pace and lower workload."

broken sigil

I don't want to sell any of the older ones, they have sentimental value cry

I believe you’re looking for Jarvis

median wraith
#

you guys use the itch app ?

#

yeah only to keep games updated I mean

#

Sent a request because seems like they don't support VC2022, either Core Net

brittle holly
#

Idk of any apps that can help with your itch, maybe try an unguent 🙃

#

Not accurate anyways cause I don’t rly accept friend requests 😛

lofty lark
brittle holly
#

Sry, are you saying I should send you a friend request or send a second one to Vazu on your behalf?

#

Clear as mud

waxen mulch
#

didn't know unreal gave insights like this on how they do things, what a cool doument

#

what a contoversial thing to say 🙂

#

I think it's pretty cool though

#

Yeah I agree, that's why I thought it was bizarre.

How hard could be for discord to have actual remove play?

Do any of y'all by chance have any recommendations on a decent home printer? I picked up a Canon PIXMA T8620 printer today and looking to (hopefully) return it tomorrow because it's too much of a hassle to use. So if y'all got a colored printer that gets the job done and ain't a pain in the ass to use, please share >.>

#

rip another terrorist IS attack yesterday in brussels

#

2 dudes shot dead

#

they shot the murderer this morning in a gunfight though

#

maybe for the better, knowing the belgian judicial system he would've gotten 3 years and be free or something

unreal ether
#

Sounds like the English judicial system. Slap on the wrist and told very sternly not to do it again or they'll have to call their parents

unborn lotus
#

sounds like our eastern european judicial system, where they won't even arrest you because your parents are local barons

unreal ether
#

It's ridiculous. Saw once someone going like double the speed limit while drunk.

License revoked for 2 years, a fine, and like a month in prison. Because that will definitely teach them. I'm sure someone breaking all those road laws definitely cares if they are legally allowed to drive. 100%

proud jay
#

there was a group of students that "accidentally" murdered a dude during the student club baptism, but there's like proof they purposefuly avoided helping him and tried to cover it up, they got 2 years probational and like 30 hours of community service

#

that's nothing

#

not even actual jail time

#

one of the guys was an actual doctor and said to just let him die

proud jay
#

their names were not even released to the public

#

all cause they had rich daddies

#

a local youtuber then leaked all their names and they sued him back lol

not that I use tablets

but never had a good experience with one that was not an ipad

#

wth is a bookdragon?

I collect books

#

they are my treasure

#

i dont read most of them

#

i just hoard them and care for them

#

and i write a book

cursive crypt
#

AIBook

proud jay
#

why not read them?

#

or at least some of them

#

contrary to games, I actually finish most of the ones I get

unborn lotus
#

I only get artbooks

#

shame bookdepository closed

slim atlas
#

to me

proud jay
#

what are you writing?

#

furry romcom?

slim atlas
#

books are only valuable as irl versions either

proud jay
#

how so

slim atlas
#

with no humans

#

it has pretty stunning art too

proud jay
#

what about

slim atlas
#

sunk in thousands of euros

#

its hard to explain

#

since its really alien

#

ask specific questions

unborn lotus
#

is it a bildungsroman?

cursive crypt
#

Coffee or Tea?

proud jay
#

what is the main plot line

slim atlas
# proud jay what is the main plot line

At its core is a family drama, i have 2 siblings fighting. But this is below a bigger political plot where an organisation is tasked to destroy a terrorist ring

#

but things are so much more complicated behind the enemy lines

#

the character relations and their backstories are the true heart of the book

#

character development, personal progression, dealing with psychological trauma, loss and personal fears.

#

and the more you read into it, the more you figure out how these characters are entangled with each other... the sadder it gets.

proud jay
#

and all this without humans

#

are they at least humanoid?

slim atlas
#

i made 3 humanoid races yes

unborn lotus
#

do they have fur?

slim atlas
#

i had an artist custom make them all

#

no fur

#

they actually look really amazing

#

wait

#

i show you a piece of armor

slim atlas
#

its so cool

#

there is so much more stuff

#

and there is also mechs

#

like in gundam

#

but i put a completly new twist on that

#

the battles are super cool

#

all that hi end tech we humans could only dream of

#

UwU this is my baby.

proud jay
#

so definitely humanoid though

#

so it's a series?

#

of books?

slim atlas
#

yee but animalistic

proud jay
#

short stories?

slim atlas
#

yee its a series

#

i wouldnt say short

#

the intro so far has 97 pages

#

i assume that the first part will be several books long.

#

its a massive univserse

#

i am really proud of it

proud jay
#

but is the intro interesting

slim atlas
#

i hope so

proud jay
#

cause if the first 400 pages are boring, no one is gonna read the rest

slim atlas
#

yee that is a bit of a problem

#

however there are fights pretty early on

#

and ALOT of dialogue

proud jay
#

but is the dialog interesting

#

I could write 700 pages that just mean nothing

slim atlas
#

and i introduce the main characters and the mechs in the first pages too

#

the story definitly progresses heavily

#

its my first real book

#

so i am still editing things

proud jay
#

do you have an interesting excerpt?

slim atlas
#

excerpt?

#

i write this in german by the way

#

😄

#

the english translation comes much later

proud jay
#

I can read german

#

most of it at least

slim atlas
#

its not ready yet 🙂

#

but sure

#

once i got a version out in english you can read it 😄

median wraith
#

and today updating Qt, seems like they ask for Login even to uninstall now

#

they did strange things to modules and licenses tbh

#

tried to open my project from 5.1 here and isn't loading anything, have to figure out why

#

Hey I do

#

Well I started making GUIs in VB, then C# and then this as is crossplatform

#

They have now some kind of middleware between C++ and the GUI on JS or so, that's even worst for me

#

what do you use for GUIs now ? @sand oxide

#

that's free ?

#

oh a WPF bro

#

wasn't WPF technically cross platform now ?

#

I had FPS issues with it on their editor last time I tried

#

something I never liked of C# is how easy you can decompile it

#

but tbh now the people can even decompile C++ to an extend

#

some weirdo sent me dms telling me he decompiled my UE game

#

those ofuscators only change the var names right ?

timber viper
#

C++ obfuscators entangle the memory

median wraith
#

Godot don't even remove the code comments when you ship the game

timber viper
#

does it ship the text? 😄

median wraith
#

yeah as is

#

the very bare minimum thing

timber viper
#

then it compiles after game loaded

#

reduz moment

#

✨ simplicity ✨

median wraith
#

I mean with UE too, but is kinds different and hard

timber viper
#

simplicity over security

median wraith
#

I do remember by Minecraft times their decompilation and then Terraria

timber viper
#

I met a Japanese person who used godot earlier recently, he was talking about he is thinking about how to prevent cheaters to hack his game and all he could do was beg on comments to target their feelings

median wraith
#

there isn't rule 5

timber viper
median wraith
#

ohhh I was reading the rules at the web hhahaha

timber viper
#

technically you give a game full control over your filesystem

#

so it makes sense I guess Thonk

#

in PC you can ship a UE plugin in binary format and it can remove system32 on editor load xD

median wraith
#

Qt still comes with VS2019? wtf

#

I read VC2019

#

qT 6.6

#

strange

#

the dlls seems to come compiled on VS2019

timber viper
#

this is what weed does to you

median wraith
#

yep

#

I requested Itch to add that pack yesterday

#

for the launcher

#

came late for the Steam Games Fest

timber viper
#

You cant tell me what to do

median wraith

@sand oxide damm it opened

#

better ?

more XD than normal XD

#

yeah Qt Creator

#

You have now Qt Designer

even if its not game dev itself

unborn lotus
pearl elk

Theres only one way to find out if youre good enough

slim atlas
#

ima find their page

slim atlas
#

if you look at their page

#

they are mostly looking for seniors or leads

#

and while i am not a junior anymore

#

i am also not a senior

unborn lotus
#

how much do they pay? 🤔

slim atlas
#

its germany

#

so likely ALOT

#

if you land a job at crytek

#

youre in for a treat

timber viper
#

which is not a treat at all

slim atlas
#

nono you dont understand

slim atlas
#

they have a seperate department for cryengine

#

i wouldnt apply to crytek as a coder

#

not in this case

#

i would apply as technical artist or 3d artist or light/enviroment

timber viper
#

i heard only good things about the team currently developing something for crytek

#

probably crysis 4

slim atlas
#

yee thats true

#

really great people

pearl elk

I thought EA owned the IP hmm

slim atlas

crytek is indiependant nowdays

slim atlas

unborn lotus
#

I imagine you have a ton of options in germany

#

for studios

slim atlas
#

if youre willing to move yes

pearl elk
#

alot more than I do down here in south aus

slim atlas
#

but i wont move.

#

i will stay in my city

timber viper
#

I'd move to Germany but I'm not looking for a job

#

Last year I had a chance to move but rejected

#

these days I regret a bit

#

but only a bit, not much

slim atlas
#

what was the offer

#

and where

#

i need job

pearl elk
#

Id move to germany but I dont speak german

unborn lotus
#

I can read german but can't understand anything

timber viper
#

even worse

#

AI programming

soft night
#

programming is the speciality

timber viper
#

they'd make me work on AIModule

slim atlas

ML is beyond me at this point

even boring than embedded?

soft night

some say laura is made by ML and COBOL

cursive crypt
timber viper

btw you said embedded has low pricing rate but all I see on freelance websites offers start at 50usd per hr minimum

turbid spindleBOT
#

:question: is ML good?
:8ball: Reply hazy, try again.

turbid spindleBOT
#

:question: you like Machine Learning?
:8ball: Signs point to yes.

timber viper
#

In gamedev 50usd per hour* for a senior is considered as good I think, whether you're based on US or EU

#

so I was in assumption of US rates are not too wildly different than EU for programming in general

proud jay
#

50 hours per day is quite a lot

cursive crypt
#

Not when release is near.

proud jay
#

US income is way higher my man

timber viper
#

sorry not day - 50usd per hr

unborn lotus
#

becaus they don't have paid vacations

soft night
#

USD as openUSD?

proud jay
#

if I'd move to US, my gross salary would probably be x3

timber viper
#

whats keeping you

proud jay
#

(not counting extralegal benefits I have here)

slim atlas
#

my lack of c++ in unreal engine ALWAYS stops me

proud jay
#

I hate US

slim atlas
#

grrrrr

proud jay
#

I like living here

#

and USA is more expensive as well

slim atlas
#

can i have all your guys c++ knowledge please

timber viper
pearl elk
proud jay
#

but also 50usd/hr depends

#

is this salaried or freelance

timber viper
#

back at the day I was looking for a programmer for a well funded studio

timber viper
#

all NA programmers was around 50usd per hr

proud jay
#

freelancers?

#

that's pretty low

timber viper
#

yes, but they had quite solid background

soft night
#

Eren and not 70USD per hour`?

proud jay
#

that's like 400 per day

#

that' not much at all

pearl elk
#

what you need is 3 interns and 1 cheap programmer to fix the interns bugs

timber viper
#

idk why they were asking for 50 then

median wraith
proud jay
#

when we send consultants to other businesses, we ask 1.2k for like a junior lol

#

per day

timber viper
proud jay
#

we do work b2b though

timber viper
#

1.2k for a junior? wtf

#

hire me

proud jay
#

but at senior level freelance I've expect at least 600 - 750 per day

proud jay
#

it also pays for developers

#

and costs

pearl elk
#

you can hire Australians with USD atm cuz the AUD is in the crapper

timber viper
#

how much junior ends up receiving

median wraith
#

given freelances are companies and the cut

soft night
proud jay
timber viper
proud jay
#

but if you freelance you have to pay taxes, health insurance, accountants, holidays and that whole crap

proud jay
timber viper
#

company gets 1.2k daily

#

junior gets 2.6k monthly

#

pretty cruel

proud jay
#

as I said it has to pay for everything

median wraith
#

you cannot get less than 3-4k per month as freelance

#

or you are ruinned

#

30% go to taxes

unborn lotus
proud jay
#

company taxes, the consultant, partially for infrastructure, office building, electricity and all that shit, and a bunch of developers, that don't get paid directly by the customer...

timber viper
#

I wonder how much I should set for my hourly rate then

pearl elk
#

50-70USD/h

median wraith
timber viper
#

some companies were telling me they would give me 25usd per hour because I'm based on Turkey

#

and I was insta rejecting

unborn lotus
soft night
#

think travel to place to work and you had to pay as worker for your running fees and only get 1k from it afterwards so you end up gaining almost zero

gross

#

here we always talk in gross salary

#

cause net varies a lot

hollow dawn
#

i never know which is gross and which net

median wraith
proud jay
#

based on your total income, whether you're married, whether you have kids, and a whole bunch of other factors

median wraith

2.6k is nice if you live under a bridge

proud jay

pearl elk

superannuation doesnt count towards gross right 😛

rents in Madrid are 1.5k to 2.k ever more

we need to invent the tardis technology so we can have big small apartments

proud jay
#

taxes in belgium just suck dick

median wraith
unborn lotus
proud jay
#

did I not just say 3.5k is the median of the working person here

median wraith
#

here usually you get paid 2.2k (for example) and then you get 1.6k after taxes, non freelance

proud jay
#

2.6 is not far below that for someone that just started working

#

2.6k gross would be just shy of 2k net if you're unmarried without kids

pearl elk
#

this is euroy monies Im guessing

proud jay
#

3.5k would be around 2.3k net

pearl elk
#

cuz I get 2k a month on a 15hr a week job\

proud jay
#

see how taxes eat all your shit

timber viper
#

so juniors get around 15usd per hour

median wraith
proud jay
#

per month lol

median wraith
#

Also you get a DevGrant per kid here

timber viper
#

but I have no idea what to ask these days

pearl elk
#

25?

proud jay
#

like a said, that's pretty decent wage for someone fresh out of school here

timber viper
#

I was asking for 25 last year but for smol jobs

median wraith
#

I mean times change, now isn't like 10 years ago on costs

unborn lotus
#

how much money do you really really need

timber viper
hollow dawn
#

depending on where u live... sydney is easy 2k a week in rent for a small place

pearl elk
#

I think thats what its mostly about, not so much what youre worth but what you can afford to work for

proud jay
#

2.6k per week would be like US level salaries

pearl elk
#

Congrats if youre getting paid what youre worth

proud jay
#

how much is average salary though

timber viper
#

In Turkey 1k for average house rent at Istanbul

#

226usd average monhtly salary

#

lol

pearl elk
proud jay
#

I think average apartment here is like 600-800 per month

#

except for brussels

#

that shit's insane

pearl elk
#

I didnt mind WA but the prices would go nuts every time the resource sector shifted

median wraith
#

You have to increase prices like the gas

hollow dawn
#

even EU differs vastly, Jaguar UK pays 40k for a car design engineer... but a 3d generalist in the nertherlands can make like 80k, in the us more like 130k

proud jay
#

yeah, it varies wildly per country

timber viper
#

I should move to US and find a cheap rent

proud jay
#

based on cost of living, taxes, social stuff

unborn lotus
timber viper
#

If I send 10% of my salary to my family they'd be rich in a few months

hollow dawn
#

yeah US def has a better paying mentality tbh... best clients imo

#

germans want everything for free lol

proud jay
#

like sure, I could make x3 or x4 in US, but here if I break my leg, I'm not out 40k, I would pay like something between 0 - 100 euros

saw a chick that went to US and got kidney stones there, she got the bill when back in belgium, it was 48k lol
