> I mean, of course these people are fucking morons For a second I thought you meant the black folk you meet in the Netherlands and I was legitimately shocked at the open racism. This is what I get for opening Lemmy as soon as I wake up, before I've even gotten out of bed lol Also, teach me your ways. How do I move to the Netherlands‽

Ahhh fuck now that I read it in that way I can totally see it lol! I moved using the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty; basically start and run a Dutch business that employs yourself and sponsor your own immigration. It was the only valid path I had from the US -> Europe, and it's actually surprisingly easy if you're capable of being self employed. My business went well for a while until my main client screwed me over but now I have a regular highly-skilled-migrant visa which requires a Dutch company to hire you and sponsor your work visa. I think it's a wonderful place in it's in own right. If I compare it to where I used to live I question why I didn't do it sooner.

To be fair, I'm sure there are a lot of fucking morons with better Dutch than mine will ever be. (I speak zero Dutch.)
