Once you get used to paying less taxes you don't want to go to paying more and getting the mostly the same. Healthcare costs is different. Also there's the high EU VAT taxes which are taxes already.

It helps to travel with different legal names and different passports.

Very low, minimum amount that covers only emergencies. I use Europe for cheaper healthcare.

When the justice system gets fixed in Spain maybe I'll pay the taxes there again. It shouldn't take more than a year to get an okupa out. It's too slow. I milked that cow already. But thank you Spain for the free education and the scholarships!

I've been pulling it off, but I have dual citizenship with EU/USA but still get paid in the US because it saves me 2k a month in taxes. There are also workarounds in avoiding paying the higher EU taxes.

I was getting spam called constantly every 5 minutes (blocked by Google call screening) and the attackers made an error if sending a message with their AWS bucket url. I was able to submit an abuse report to Amazon and puff Amazon dismantled the entire spam group. No more spam since then.

Maybe try saying the spam has porn or inappropriate images?

You can bypass this censorship with Starlink. Starlink does not block access like spanish ISPs

I love it too. Spain taxes paid me for all years full ride scholarships to anywhere in the world. Never needed to work while atudying. Then it allowed me to steal high paying jobs in the US with no student loans. And I wasn't even a good student, I was just poor AF. I want the same for all Spaniards and will gladly pay high taxes if my family, friends, and my neighbors can also have that same opportunity.

From what I've seen in my family, since the cuban revolution, they've never properly incentivized agriculture. Farming even became forced labour as "farming school (escuela al campo)" that some students had to do. Farmers and their families left the countryside for the cities and never came back leaving agricultural land abandoned. They haven't been able to apply new technologies in farming, and new generations don't want that life.

Off-topic, where can I find moldovan wines in the US, specially any rara neagra? I used to buy them in a store in Ohio (Jungle Jim's), but I don't live in the Midwest anymore.

Makes sense, but when I asked most people answered that it was to save natural gas.

I was in Moldova back in 2013 for a university org summer course and for me it somehow felt like being in Cuba. There weren't many tourists but everyone was very welcoming. You could see even between students the difference in pro-russians and pro-europeans. Weird thing is cut the hot water during the summer. Best wine I've ever had and it was home made from my friend's parent's cellar. Loved the time there.

Moved to the US many years ago after living in Asia and in Europe and I've struggled the most here in making friends and meeting new people. I thought it was me and even moved to a bigger city in the US and still find it hard to make meaningful connection with anyone. Like others mentioned maybe it's the American capitalism, or internet. I think also maybe cars (greater distance, individual travel, road rage, etc.) influence in how we feel lonely but still surrounded by people.

98 balloons left.

I agree and totally have done MDMA while dating someone. But as good as the high was, the breakup was/is the worst of my life because of these moments we had together that were x100 more intense.

Don't recommend doing this if you think you'll later break up.
