Ye, the medical thing concerns me. NZ has a national health record system that let's you register a primary emergency contact. From everything I've read, that, coupled with the fact that we're in a defacto relationship should be enough to prevent that being an issue. I hope that stays untested

I'm in NZ. Theoretically we're listed as each other's primary emergency contacts, so that shouldn't be an issue. I just hope we never have to find out.

As for children, property etc. NZ has this idea of a defacto relationship, which you can enter into either by living together for 2 years, or by having a child together. It offers the same protections that marriage does. I think it gets a bit greyer if you just have a child together, but living together for 2 years is as good as a marriage in this regard.

Where it matters the most is if one of us passes away, but that can be negated through a will.

It could matter if we ever decided to move out of the country, but I don't see us doing that in a hurry. We'll cross that bridge if we ever get to it

Estate can be managed by having a good will drawn up, and in NZ there is no distinction between a married couple and a defacto relationship (living together for >2 years) when it comes to separations and property.

Marriage is a big ceremony where you declare that this person is now your family in front of the people most important to you. From that angle I'm on board.

Where I'm out is that you have to register that with the govt. I HATE that. I'm in a het relationship, and gay marriage is legal here, so I have no idea why that irks me so much, but it's like, who the fuck are they to tell me my marriage isn't real because it's not registered with them?

Here there aren't even any good tax benefits, so I really don't see the point.

We'll probably have a ceremony, but it won't be a legal marriage.

I'm sorry to say it, but I think you'll find the world is upset with Americans as a whole. You really shit the proverbial bed on this one. A few people that know you personally probably isn't a good indication of the welcome you're going to receive en mass, especially in countries that are being explicitly targeted, like Canada. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying maybe temper your expectations.

Gotta remember that line from MIB: "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals"

"Hi,

Was this meant to be sent to me?

I don't believe "is willing to kowtow to a fascist" appears on my profile, but if it does, it's in error.

Kindly point out whatever it was that made you think I'd accept a position in any one of Elon's companies, so that I can rectify it.

Just to be extra clear: I would sell my body before going near your company

Thanks"

Huh, that's not what I get:

More recently, by avoid the crash states, "rebirth" has been achieved, which is where the level overflows and wraps all the way back to level 0.

So, true. The game is infinite unless you screw up and die

I dunno how I ended up there, but I found myself on the wikipedia entry for the name of Japan (Nihon?) which has a lot of Chinese and Japanese script.

It looks very cramped in whatever my default font size is, and a lot of the detail seems difficult to pick out. Particularly in the (I assume) traditional Chinese. Example: 大清帝國

Which got me wondering about font size. Do users of these scripts have different defaults? Or is it just because I'm not used to reading it?
