Basically, I don't want to be an engineer in the US, but I have no choice but to go to college in the US due to my situation. What would I need to do to take steps toward working abroad? Preferably in China. I can imagine learning Chinese is a must, but what about citizenship and other things?

EDIT: Also, what other options you want to suggest?

On that very same day, there was a train that carried tons of chemicals (mostly PVC) riding through Ohio. It exploded in East Palestine, unleashing the dangerous chemicals in the atmosphere. While The US was overreacting over the balloon, the chemicals were contaminating the air and waters. The chemicals were killing people's chickens, dogs, cats, and other animals. The crows were circling and flying about in a strange motion as if they were drugged. The fish that flourished now lifelessly float along the river.

If the chemicals are getting to the animals, it's getting to the people too. People who lived there experienced lung issues, breathing difficulties, and more. The PVC chemicals are causing higher risks of cancer. People are still not able to live in their homes due to the nauseating air. Those who come back are faced with dangerous conditions. Officials however, (including the FDA) have told everyone that the air is completely safe and the water is drinkable. People who drank the water described it as "smelling and tasting like chlorine." So basically the officials were lying and trying to sweep it under the rug.

All while this was happening, you see the media overreacting over the balloon. And they pulled another stunt with Canada again this week. Meanwhile, Norfolk Southern lobbied to ease federal regulations and cut costs on the train.

Which makes me question... What are we living for? With the capitalist powers having it's grip on the world, we are living to be slaves and to fill the wealthy man's pockets while our lives are constantly in danger. We are just pawns in their game of wealth, power and fame. Tragedies are swept under the rug until one day there's a large tragedy, and then there's a compromise from those wealthy pigs that just isn't enough. Then the cycle starts all over again.

In America, we are going backwards. At this point, we are entering back to the Gilded Age. Or maybe we're already in it? Or never got out of it?

I'm 17F, one year away from being kicked out of my parent's house. As soon as I'm 18 they're forcing me to go to a 4 year college. As of now I'm regretting my life decisions. My backup plan is to purse electrical engineering, but I don't have any experience behind me. All the classes I've taken in high school don't even count towards it. Also, there is no engineering STEM programs at my school either.

My parents ridicule me on how I'm not doing anything in life. I don't participate in academic stuff. I have no extra curriculars, no sports, no nothing. Yeah, I guess there's something wrong with that. I mean all I do is go home, school work, watch anime, or practice making music. From 3 to 9 P.M is all the free time I have. And at this point, I don't really focus on school anyone. I'm running behind on assignments and haven't done much of them since second semester started.

Firstly, I don't really wanna go to college. It's a big scam in the US, and I don't have any money to move to another country and try to get an education there. It's like hell in the US. If you're poor, you're most likely stuck there for a very long time.

I don't wanna pursue a skill or a trade, I don't want a white collar job nor desire to be wealthy. I actually plan on becoming a digital nomad that travels to many places. I don't want to settle in one place. The thought of being in an office sitting on my ass all day is dreadful, and the thought of working in the same building until retirement is dreadful. I don't wanna work the usual 9 to 5 in the same boring office building, and I don't wanna wait until I get those two weeks off a year or less. I also don't want to make traveling a career, because I hate making a "job" out of something fun. All I wanna do is have fun. I hate the word "work." I like to focus on something worthwhile, not help produce something I don't even have control over so my boss can fill their pockets. Yeah I'll be doing that with remote work, but the only reason I want to do remote work is to have more free time.

Oh well! Why don't I suck it up? Why don't I accept this life? Well I don't want to. I don't want to be someone I'm not. I don't want to live a lie. I don't ask for much, I just want to be free, that's all. This world is so fucking large, why not explore it? It's an open world!

What is your routine when it comes to surfing on the internet? Do you remain anonymous at all times? Is there only one browser you use or a few? I'm quite new to this stuff and wonder what a pirate's usual routine is. I wonder if I should get the onion browser and use that only, or alternate between opera and the tor browser. Also, what efficient and smart methods do you guys use? (no i'm not fbi lol, im a 16 year old loser)

Every other person who speaks on philosophy always recommends stoicism, Buddhism, and reference Greek or Roman philosophers. Any ML philosophy or philosophy from social countries? I would love to look into it.

Thinking of living in my car for a few months when I graduate, and probably will need a gun for safety. What would be a great gun to start with? Preferably affordable please

I've recently downloaded mullvad. I heard it's popular in the piracy community. 5 dollars a month is not bad. Currently saving for a good antivirus. What are your favorites?
