Has anyone here emigrated from the US to the UK with school-aged kids? What were the biggest adjustments they had to make and what were their biggest challenges? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 35 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

I have not, but I've done some immigration and have general advice:

Immigration is expensive and very time consuming to get the required documents.

  • Figure out how you're going to get residence, what visa you'll be on, what visa your kids will be on
  • See if you have to enroll in school ahead of time
  • Test the job market by applying, interviewing, and getting offers beforehand. Even if you decline them, you don't want to be surprised
  • Make a spreadsheet of needed documentation for each person. Forgetting one thing can screw you up badly on the day you need it
  • Do everything above, twice, to make sure you didn't screw up the first time

Imo immigration is an amazing way to live the only life you have, but make sure you put in the work to make it work. I've seen lots of immigrants give up and go back to their home country before putting in the effort to fully realize their dreams, and it's low-key sad

Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

I know you're memeing, but to be honest, yes, I want a President whose platform is somewhat like what you described. Obviously I disagree with some random parts (i.e. "with more communism, no, more socialism, with consequences for the right"), but for heavens sake, at least the theoretical person running for President above is trying something new. They would get my vote.

This is what the Right is doing with Trump after all, and clearly people like it.

Congress could try barring Trump from office under 14th Amendment, but it likely won’t in c/news@lemmy.world

"Not bothering" means more people not supporting Democrats, which means Republicans getting elected more.

See? I can do DNC logic too. It's actually your fault Trump got elected.

Ok. Sure. Myself and millions of others helped get Trump elected. Hopefully you can figure out how to appeal to us next election.

I'm not surprised you misinterpreted my comment, I'm surprised people upvoted your misinterpretation. I never said Trump was third party

I think some people have explained it decently, but as someone who did not vote for Harris, I have a simple explanation:

I do not want the Democratic party to think it's Ok to be slightly better than Trump.

If I'm going to be honest, trans rights and immigration are minor issues compared to inequality and war in Gaza.

The Dems can be better, but they choose not to. Me voting for Dems signals that what Dems are doing is acceptable, but it's not. I supported third party in 2024, and I will continue to do so until the Democrats get serious reform.

(For those who think it would be "less bad" with Harris, that's the problem. I don't care for "less bad" when the duopoly got us here regardless. Represent the people.)

Lmao liberals downvoting you for daring to think sums up the 2024 election pretty good

People keep saying this, but misunderstand why people didn't vote for Harris over Gaza.

It doesn't matter if Trump is worse. People don't want the Democrats to think this behavior is OK.
