My understanding is you can absolutely end up with a lien and other such things, so it wouldn't be a good idea unless you're ready to burn every financial bridge with the US for the foreseeable future. But if you're not coming back, then that's that I guess.

Europe doesn't use the same credit history system as the US; so yes, it quite literally is a different planet in that sense and you quite literally can start new. This is not financial advice.

I've heard of people getting their credit score up, taking out all their lines of credit, then dipping to Europe for 10 years to start a business. By the time they came back, their credit scores were fine again because it had been long enough to not affect it. Obviously planning to do this ahead of time is illegal, but if it just happens by circumstance and you're stuck in Europe and can't pay back the debt for 10 years then like…

Oh my god I think this is one of the two games from my childhood that I first played and have not for the life of me been able to find

The other is some weird frog sidescroller platformer I got at Staples as a kid in the late aughts or possibly early 2010s

He wildly misunderstood/misrepresented the initiative two videos in a row (and continues to ten months later), and he continually discredits the entire initiative because of contrived edge cases.

I think this paragraph from this twitter reply really sums it up:

My dislike of the initiative stems entirely from the wording to keep all games in a "Functional Playable State" after sunsetting which is not possible for all games and could limit what kinds of games people make in the future.

The idea that creativity would be hampered because games would have to remain playable when the company shuts down servers one day is ridiculous. Can you imagine if we talked like this about anything else? "We can't force every phone to use the same USB-C charging port because it would be too technically infeasible to do so and hamper creativity." "We can't outlaw CFCs because they're useful chemicals and it would be technically infeasible for some products to be made without chlorofluorocarbons (the things that fucked up the ozone layer)." "My dislike of the initiative stems entirely from the wording to 'make cars limit their emissions' which is not possible for all cars and could limit what kinds of cars companies make in the future." Ridiculous.

It's absurd that I'm not exaggerating when I say his opposition to Stop Killing Games entirely boils down to "I think companies should be allowed to take games away because it would be really hard for them to leave some games playable when they're done supporting them 🥺"

I used to passively like Thor, but when I watched those two videos he made last year about SKG I lost all of my respect for him.

Mamdani is going to lose what? He already won the primary and since he's running as a Democrat he has functionally won the NYC mayoral race when that happens.

To me, "he died" puts an emphasis on what the person actually went through. To die is to experience the process of dying. "He is dead" puts the emphasis on his current state, not on the transition from life to that state. Linguistically, I consider dying to be the process and death to be the result. You die once, but you stay dead forever (medical resuscitation notwithstanding).

I have no clue how many other people think of the phrases like that, but that's the rhetorical distinction I draw between the two.

A review of studies is a meta-analysis. What you're describing is a meta-meta-analysis, which is also a thing! Here's one I found from a cursory search..
