It's not a paradise when there're dirt poor around you.

Show me a first world country without poverty.  You can't. 

Meanwhile, the US has more wealthy people than anywhere else on earth.  Wealthy people generally live near other wealthy people.

All the places I would choose to live I haven't been to... and my opinion would most definitely shift after living there...

If I had to make a list I think I would put Canada and New Zealand pretty high on my destinations-to-live list.
Europe has some really nice countries and towns but overall it seems like there is so much drama/conflict from all the countries and a lot of areas seem pretty close minded when it comes to minority immigrants. Of course that's just my ignorant perspective, because I've never been to europe... not meaning to cause any offense.

If satellite based internet was just as fast and responsive as a fiber optic linked city... I wouldn't mind living on a cruise ship. Give me an excuse to stay indoors and game all day long for days at a time while we are out at sea, and then there would be like a new destination every few weeks or less <3

It's pretty sad but when I look at places to live one of the first things I gauge is internet speeds...

Somewhere that is ice cold all year round but still has civilization.

Svalbard, the farthest north permanent settlement on the planet

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

What do those people do for work in Svalbard???
Is it like a natural gas/oil refinery place or something?

Looks like the people who live there are wealthy... It actually looks pretty cozy.

Makes McMurdo station in Antartica look like a prison complex in comparison...

My NIGGA

MY MUHFUCKING NIGGA

Love me some Babylon 5, man. More than that, I would love nothing more than to leave this rock. I'm disappointed that more don't feel the same way; much more disappointed that folks choose to slay one another for ideology or resources or power instead of rapid advancement of the species.

I would have to check out India again. but from what I remember from 20 years ago There were some places where I could imagine opening a little travelers lodge. but I am scared to go back because I might find that globalization and tourism destroyed what I liked.
but the thought of moving is getting stronger since berlin is overrun by tourists and the anarchic chaos of possibilities and clubs that made me love that place faded away.

Good times.

"What have I done?"

It had so much plot and the things that happened were actually meaningful in the big picture of the whole series. No filler and fluff like almost every other series out there. Political wrangling almost on the level of the House of Cards. And of course war and cool battles and everything sci-fi.

Friends of mine are pushing me to check out Bali... hmmm... sounds pretty decent with lots of alternative infrastructure, healthy food, yoga retreats and whatnot, but somehow Asia has never "called" me.
Yeah you should definitely check out Bali, food is great, lots of expat if you feel home sick, most of the locals speak english, there's no boundaries between locals and foreigners (they are very welcoming but don't have too much deference either), food is great, diving and surfing there is amazing.

Reallly considering to move out there myself.
