Finland first, New Zealand second. Both have gun rights. Finland has a lot of empty space in the north, and Finns are, in general, not super interested in being highly social, despite historically having pretty solid social safety nets (although I hear the right is rising there, and that may not last). The largest barrier is that Suomi is a very difficult language to learn.

Any sitcom or comedy.

By that ‘logic’ everyone needs a taste of white supremacy, Christian nationalism, Nazis, and so on.

Certain opinions aren’t worth giving any consideration to because they’re so stupidly, pig-headedly wrong. The street corner preacher frothing at the mouth over LGBTQ people is one, .ml and the former hexbear (world’s smallest violin plays a sad song for their passing) instances being prime examples.

Arrive to raids […] out of uniform.

…This is already happening.

Cruelty and sociopathy.

Currently doing exactly that. My partner and I just bought a house and a few hundred acres in northern Maine, and will be moving in less than two months. Yeah, winters are cold and long, and yeah, the mosquitos and blackflies suck, but triple digit heat is really rare up there.

No, the “entire planet” has decided that states ultimately own your property–and you, since you don’t have absolute, individual bodily autonomy–and we use an incorrect shorthand in the way we verbally talk about property rights.

Single digits, 100%.

Single digits range from -9F to 9F. Triple digits start at 100F, and can go way the fuck up from there. (And with climate change, they will!) Once you start approaching triple digits, you have to worry about humidity, because you can easily hit a combination that’s literally too hot to live.

Is -9F unpleasant? Sure. But you can layer clothing, and that will keep you comfortable. Death Valley has hit >130F, and when that happens people die, even if they drink gallons of water and stay in the shade.

Yeah, no. Some text services and websites can/do remove content, so you might not be able to return to something at a later date without saving it locally. Once an email has been received on your end, that’s it: you have the email locally (or at least in your email provider); it can no longer be removed by the person that sent it.

If I screenshot an exchange on Bluesky where someone is saying wildly racist shit, they can later block me, delete the top-level comment and all the sub-comments, but I’ll still have that digital proof. If someone gets doxxed on Reddit and you screenshot it, you’ve got that forever, even when Reddit deletes the doxxing five minutes later. (They did that with someone that found out who Administrative Results was, and posted all the links backing up their claims. Also, Admin Results in a shitty person, and that’s why he and Garand Thumb/Mike Jones get along so well.)

Yes, a vampire could enter with a warrant, whether or not you invited him in. The state ultimately ‘owns’ your property; if it didn’t, then it couldn’t kick you out and seize it if you don’t pay property taxes. So therefore the state has the authority to give a vampire the right to enter your dwelling. (But what if the warrant was illegally issued, and so the vampire didn’t have actual permission to enter? Hmmmm.) Similarly, if you rented an apartment, your landlord could give a vampire permission to enter for a valid reason, e.g., the vampire worked maintenance, and you had a water leak that was damaging another apartment and needed immediate access.
