How do you know?

It’ll really depends on the disability since most countries have a big focus on ability to work in a sought after field

Us citizen here recently moved to Sweden. I have a lot of things going for me: I was able to save up money working in tech, I’m using that to pay for living and tuition on a study permit, recently divorced and mostly estranged so I don’t have a lot of ties holding me back, I have a sought after skillset and enough savings to basically be guaranteed I was accepted.

I’m still struggling with everything. There was and is so much paperwork, so many loose ends, even after getting here it’s just been months of hardship trying to get stuff lined up. Trying to get my savings out of USD without interrupting being able to pay for things and not risk being flagged for money laundering is an ongoing battle. Housing here is wonky and I’m risking homelessness next year if I can’t get it figured out in time. I have no strong community ties here yet so I’m toast if I stumble too badly. The US has their grubby hands all up in my business still so I’m answering to two countries at any given time instead of just one.

There are certainly avenues people can take to get out of the US that are easier than what I’ve done but anyone who says it is easy is full of shit or incredibly privileged.

A few years back a friend and I were walking around. They slapped the hood of a car that was in the crosswalk. The driver pulled a gun out and started following us through oncoming traffic to yell at and threaten us it was fucking nuts

In Seattle the city men are also wearing flannel, and the women, the enbys too, everyone and their dog has flannel, it’s flannel all the way down

My cat would hold hands with me at night it was so special 🥺

Hell yeah! My first game was a text only java program where you killed skeletons and dragons, gained levels, and movement was done by typing a wasd key then hitting enter lol. You still making games at all?

Just looked into the ram I got last year. From about $200 when I got it to $750 now

It’s been hitting -20c where I’m at currently. I love it, I’m so happy I moved here, idk what it is about the cold but it makes me happy and bundling up to go outside is fun

Ooh, are you doing a thing every month or just periodically?

The drivers in Seattle can be unhinged. There was one time I was going straight through an intersection, a guy jumped a median into incoming traffic to get past the car stopped in front of them so they could turn left through a red light; a couple feet difference and I would have been a road smear. Another time I had a truck stopped at a light yell at me for passing them in the bike lane and try to door me. Pretty much if I was ony bike I assumed I was going to get hit by a car. Still spent hours exploring the city on my bike though

If there’s one thing I know about chefs is that they’re still able to make a banger of a dish while out of half the ingredients, the oven is broken so they’re using a blowtorch, and Joey the kitchen bitch needs saved from getting eaten by the industrial mixer. I’m sure they’ll figure out using a wood stove while taking out their anger towards front of house by butchering a pig

I use Arch btw and it Just Works™️ Switched away from windows a few months ago and it’s been nothing but sunshine. I love having an os that does what I tell it to.

I have to use windows 11 at school and god damn. What a shit experience. I’ve put so much work into forcing my station there to be baseline functional. I’ve used windows my whole life and the number of weirdnesses already required decades of arcane knowledge to work past, and windows 11 is like pouring flaming diarrhea into the mix

Most of the time I fermented garlic in the jar with the peppers, and depending on what I was doing I’d also ferment them with onion, carrots, or pears. You can also use cheesecloth and twine to make a little fermenting tea bag for things like peppercorns and mustard seed to keep in with the peppers.

As for the post ferment my staples were: caramelized onion, honey, lime juice and/or apple vinegar, msg. I’d often add fresh bell peppers for a little brightness, mango or pineapple, fresh or roast garlic, you can really play around in this stage. You can also run fermented honey garlic alongside and add that in after the peppers ferment.

My better recipe notes are going to be harder to find they’re in a notebook somewhere but here’s some of my digital ones. The section header shows what was in the jar during ferment (so like ‘hab + garl’ means habanero and garlic) with the other stuff being what was added post ferment. Ferm juice is the brine, truff is truffle oil. All of these also have an unlisted amount of canola oil I’d slowly add in during blending until the immersion felt right.

If you want to go above and beyond impressing people with homemade hot sauce grab something like these: https://www.nicebottles.com/catalog/5ozwoozyshrinks

I used to make my own hot sauces and printed off custom labels too. Throw them in a woozy with the plastic heat seal and people lose their shit over them

I wrote down a handful of my recipes somewhere if you want any of them

Ffs I get back from school to find this out. I’ll live up to it: dentist farting in my mouth is such a power move I’d be scared not to go back

I would go back to the dentist either if they were farting in my mouth

Shit I forgot to drink water today. Pretty sure I don’t have ADHD but you all save my bacon with the meme reminders

Amusingly I decided to see what my local grocery store has and found this:

TIL Sweden calls it hamburger cheese (I just moved here from the US). I’m pretty sure in the US someone would get shot for trying to take America out of the name though
