How hopeless are you?
| G/u/rl! I have the same dream as you!
We're more alike than I thought.
Personally, I want to move to another country, but I believe that I have to study a career first though.. and that's gonna cost me some time...
| >>780129 I moved before going to uni. I had to learn another language during, but the time here helps build connections and relationships, so it may be more worth it to just go rather than wait. Where you want to move to?
| >>781628 oh! But what about the visa.. or how do you gain citizenship without having studies?
I want to move to Canada, but I don't know if I could gain citizenship with no college studies/degrees..
| >>783281 You can get a study visa or something here, though I suppose it's quite expensive registering as an international student. Still, there are options like loans or scholarships if you can get them or are willing. If you move to Quebec though, their colleges are more affordable, and with more options for a technical program to go straight to the workforce or continue to uni, or both.
| I suggest looking up their education system if you're interested in Montreal and not Toronto. You may have to do an equivalence to their standards, since Quebec only has 11 years of primary and secondary.
There's also the option of a work permit, as I've seen many immigrants here have. Some also offered to refugees. You can get some technical studies at certain schools with that, though I don't know whether you can go to colleges
| But absolutely do not move to Vancouver. That place is where all the rich Chinese are moving to. Living costs go up daily there.
| >>780127 >>780129 I just want the technology for brain uploading to develop before I die. Let me load into an interstellar probe like something out of the bobverse.
| But in terms of hopelessness, it's worse than most people imagine. According to an analysis by the US's National academy of science, the Paris Accord goals would have worked, if enacted in 1984. The only way to prevent what they called a 'hothouse earth' scenario is industrial level carbon trapping. Which is so expensive it isn't even being discussed, and many of the processes involved would be far more dangerous to the environment if there was an accident.
| Oh, hothouse earth is a permanent global increase of 3-4 degrees C
| >>783479 oh, and that analysis didn't take into account potential runaway processes like methane release from permafrost melting.
And I've never seen any analysis on if the shift in pressure that both icecaps melting would cause will cause volcanic activity. I mean, you'd think it'd have to with a significant amount of weight shifting from the poles to the oceans.
| >>784089 their work so far makes me hopeful. Combine that with that Japanese research that showed the brain can adapt to having more than 4 limbs, and I'm actually sorta hype.

| Surprisingly, I'm quite content currently, though I haven't really settled from having moved countries, but generally speaking it feels like societal collapse is right around the corner. Whether there's another world war or Earth continues to die slowly to global warming though, I'll just continue watching vtubers until I die.
