    Just my opinion. OP is clearly motivated by hatred for their current leader. Their requirements are also extremely politically motivated. They should be discussing this matter with family, not here. In new country they will face same issues maybe not tomorrow but one day for sure. Get off internet for a while maybe.

    It's better you discuss this with your close family and not with like-minded people on internet.

    150 is such a ridiculous price lol. I remember reading up news when they increased prices to 99 USD years ago. In India, the price is less than 15 USD (₹1499, given purchasing power it's on par though). Amazon is also offering a free delievery only option for 1/3 of the price.

    We've taken prime mainly for free 1 day deliveries. Have never used Amazon Music and Prime videos has nothing of interest for me rn. Doctor Who is no longer available and I'm bored of watching Supernatural re-runs. Better to watch short clips in YouTube instead. Also they have 0 Chinese dramas meanwhile YouTube has an insane library of them, that too legally available.

    They'll remove the real Christmas tree and put on a fake

    Ms. Hidalgo said that the rings now installed on the monument — 95 feet wide and 43 feet tall — were too heavy to resist winter winds and remain permanently, and would be replaced “as soon as possible” by lighter rings made by ArcelorMittal, the global steel giant that made the current set.

    They show posts from random accounts and if you don't open for 2-4 days then notifications like this random user made a post or you missed this post from random user. If you refresh it's almost impossible to see previous posts. And most annoying thing I felt was Facebook ruined while browser history. Every page visited has Facebook title in history page

    These are not traditional Landlords but families lending their spare rooms for some side income. If they don't like you they will not lend the house. You'll face more rejection being a single male then being non vegetarian here. Some only rent to traditional married couples.

    Even if they are okay with non vegetarians, Hindus will be object with beef eaters and Muslims will object with pork eaters. Some are fine if you bring non veg from outside and don't cook in the house itself. Everyone will put ban on alcohol and smoking.
