OK completely off topic but update on my USA angst from earlier this year: I'm heckin' moving to Switzerland next month holy hell.
Back on topic: Duolingo continues to circle the drain. I kind of hate that I'm linking to this because it's exactly what that marketing-run company wants; but they posted these two videos to TikTok in response to the AI backlash: https://www.tiktok.com/@duolingo/video/7506578962697456939?lang=en https://www.tiktok.com/@duolingo/video/7507337734520868142?lang=en
I uh... I don't think it's going to change anyone's minds. Half the comments on the videos go something like:
Good luck with the move. Always sounded like a lot of trouble moving continents. And moving out of the USA seemed worse, dont they have some weird taxation system for people who moved away?
Nah it's not too bad the IRS guide is only 40 pages! ^somebody^ ^save^ ^me^
I haven't run through this in practice yet and I will probably give up and hire a professional.
Oof im sorry, that sounds horrible. But hey welcome in the modern world, your other taxes will prob not be that much trouble.
