4) NSFW is okay, within reasonJust remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand.

I lived in three countries and they were mostly the same.

I'm happy where I live in the USA. I just wish my fellow citizens were not choosing mental illness, but I have have no say over that and those same social forces are prevalent in most other countries with social media.

I'm also kind of sick of listing to them whine about how poor they are when they are so rich, but what they really are is incredibly jealous and bitter that someone else has more money than they do.

Switzerland and Switzerland. Doesn't get much better.

I now live in China after a few years in the US, Australia and Thailand. By far the best place to live. China is truly an amazing place. The people, the country, the food, the infrastructure, the technology, the quality of life overall: social security, health care.

The US.

Denmark.

NZ and still NZ nothing against other countries but I just don't like the way people are compared to how they are here. Its not about niceness people overseas are much nicer. Comforts of home I guess. I'd maybe move from Auckland to Dunedin again or to smaller 100k town in the north island.

Some friends have just moved to Carterton. It has a nice vibe for a smaller town. Plus, wine country.

New Plymouth is pretty good once you get used to the overall cow smell. Nicer than Auckland at least

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah it looks nice. Once I have kids I'll move out of Auckland but atm on my career grind.

Canada.

Canada.

I'd probably live in China if I could. With how they are constantly improving while the west is constantly in decay, I don't forsee this process changing. I only still live in the country where I do due to lack of resources to move, and for the friends and family I'd be leaving behind.

Australia. Adelaide to be more accurate which is perfect for 90% of the time.

And Australia but probably Brisbane for the 10% of time it's not perfect in Adelaide.

I've thought about it a lot over the years and whittled my choice down to either Gimmelwald or Thun, Switzerland.
