American currently immigrating to Portugal.
It’s a lot of work, and the US has the most insane tax code rules for citizens/dual citizens in the world.
The amount of documentation you need to provide, and get apostilled, and hoops you have to jump through to is pretty intense. That’s not counting that to get a visa requires either a lot of paperwork/being a student (I’m not a student), degrees, and spending time living over there (usually 180-300 days a year, minimum), that if you want to work around that it’s quite expensive (Investorship visa’s aren’t cheap).
There’s also the level 2 language test required pretty much anywhere you go that doesn’t speak English as a primary language.
It’s worth it to me and my family, but it is not easy by any stretch to do.
Measuring liquids by finger is done with drinks, like whiskey, etc. They’re saying to pour roughly 2 fingers (measured with your fingers stacked on top of each other) worth into the jar.
We won’t be around, but Unix time will be.
“Unhoused” is the preferred nomenclature.
“Unhomed” is the wrong tense and way to use when referring to someone in this situation.
“Homeless” makes it seem like they don’t have a home, which isn’t true, as homes are not always a structure and can be considered more of a concept.
Unhomed is past tense and still refers to them not having a “home”, which again, is not true and is generally seen as a demoralizing way to refer to their situation as if they don’t, or can’t build a home from the communities they find themselves in.
Unhoused is referring purely to the structure of a house, not the concept of a home. A house is a physical thing, whereas a home is where you make it, sort of thing.
That makes way more sense. At first, I was like, holy shit, what planet has this MFer been living on the last 10 years? We’re on our way to un-terraform earth here shortly for those of us not in concentration camps.
