Most of those late night exchanges were once happy memories. Some of them still ongoing :) quality chat is worth sacrificing sleep for once in a while.

The only times I regret staying up late were when I had to tolerate unnecessary stress.

It would be the inverse of it, or possibly a spoof.

I wanted to like that film but couldn’t get into it. Thought it tried to hard to be quirky.

In comparison to the other experiments that could be conducted on us, probing does sound relatively mild. What I want to know is why these super advanced beings that are capable of interplanetary travel haven’t been able to come up with a more sophisticated method of studying us than sticking things up our bums. Unless they enjoy it.

First, try to figure out exactly where you want to move and what options you have for long term residence. Employers will usually sponsor you for work visas if you either have skills that are in high demand, or for seasonal jobs (resorts, hotels, agriculture). Pursuing higher education or doing volunteer work can also get you a visa in some cases.

I definitely recommend learning the local language. Not only will it improve your chances of finding work, but it’s the respectful thing to do if you plan to stay somewhere for an extended period of time. You need to think about where you will live and how you will afford to cover your expenses. Some of the seasonal jobs might offer a living space, but I wouldn’t count on it. You could also try finding remote work and living as an expat before committing to moving.

As for food, keep an open mind and learn to cook. It will help if you don’t like the local food, save you money, and is simply a good skill to know in any case.

Lastly, people usually migrate to places where they have something and someone familiar. I would advise learning about the culture and getting to know people who live in the place you want to move to first so that you aren’t in for a shock.

Orange and calico are just some of the possible colorings of a cat’s fur and don’t determine its breed (although some breeds are known for having distinctive colors and patterns).

Fun fact: while almost all calico cats (tricolor coat) are female, around 1 in 3,000 are males with an extra X chromosome, a condition known as Klinefelter syndrome. As a result, they are almost always sterile. About 1 in 10,000 male calicos are fertile.

Also, around 80% of orange cats are male.

That would counteract the intelligence part of AI…but there would be no victors in that battle.

Exercise programs, language courses, and music streaming services are a few things you can try out before committing to them. The free trial should be enough to determine whether the methods are helpful enough for you want to continue for the first two, and the latter is a convenient way of discovering new music without ads that doesn’t drain your battery quickly.

The shower is my happy place. Why would you possibly want to add stress to it? :D

I’m more surprised it took them this long. Thankfully there are already many decent alternative messaging apps.
