This is called "capital flight" and is a feature of all socialist countries.
As soon as the socialists come to take all their stuff, the wealthy simply leave with everything they can carry, unless they're just killed.
Either way, the biggest problem for the socialist country is a massive 'brain drain' because the rich people are rich because they knew stuff.
The best example is Rhodesia / Zimbabwe. When Robert Mugabe drove out all the whites and parsed out their land this created a massive famine because they drove out all the people who knew how to farm. The same thing is playing out in South Africa right now.
In Venezuela they nationalized the oil companies, so all the oil workers left, which caused the Venezuelan economy (which is completely dependent on oil) to collapse.

The whole “interview” wasn’t necessary and not an interview. Everyone could have been done when I submitted my initial paperwork.
But now they have everything that is required, why and how could it possibly be 3 to 6 more months ? This is insane. I cant possibly see how this takes more than 10 minutes to process. A gunshop can run a check in 30 seconds…..
For the people who work there would it be easier to make this whole process simple so there isn’t some huge backlog and they have all these people coming in all done.
Surely if they need to “interview” it can be done on zoom. We know the state has the capability to process taxes, driver’s licenses, sales tax, marriage’s licenses , traffic tickets etc… all within a timely matter.
This is nothing more than a service and should be any different.

Me (28f) and bf (26) have been together 18months. In short, I have come to the hard decision that this relationship isn’t good for either of us and I need to end it. Now I’ve only done that once before, this is my second relationship, but I feel prepared in what to say and how to handle it, however I am torn up as to when I should to this.
So, we live together, and we live with my family in my childhood home (money and health reasons). He doesn’t have family in this area, he is from a town about a 3 hour drive away. He has driven us both into rather bad debt, and he has finally landed a job but hasn’t started yet. I am torn whether I should break it off before he starts this so he can give notice and start making arrangements to go back to his home town, or if I should wait 2 or 3 months so that he has a bit of money underneath him so he can support himself when we break up.
I’m really torn, I care a lot for him however strongly believe we would be better apart, but the idea of this transition period is stressing me out. What would you prefer in his shoes?
TLDR: do I hit the breakup button before his new job starts whilst we are in debt and with little support, or prolong it until he has a small cushion of money underneath him to support himself?

I'm currently Emperor of France, i have a pretty large Empire and i wanted to try to create a new faith. But it says that my previous faith will consider me hostile, so will i get crusaded ? And how fast will it be for my vassal to convert all their lands ?
Sorry for my bad english

Just venting, tangible advice is greatly appreciated.
Never been blessed with OE but fresh out of undergrad back in 2021. Landed a contract role for 1 year but was laid off without warning.
Can’t seem to find anything that ain’t a fucking contract in the past 5 years and I’m sick of this bullshit. Was out of work from late aug 2022 to Feb of this year and lost everything I saved up since 2020 searching for work daily.
Finally land another contract role and it’s the same bullshit. Constantly hovering a potential rto date over my head if I’m lucky enough to be hired. Wages that don’t amount to shit in my city’s cost of living inflation.
Now I have confirmation that the multiple people hired was just in a single elimination tournament to keep this role and someone else is already chosen. Meanwhile I do the same shit for no benefits, correct wages, health insurance, or security and it’s more than likely ending once this latest extension ends.
Idk how I’m gonna face another blow like my last lay off with less than 1/3 of the savings I had last time. Been trying to land oe 2 contracts ago but it took months just to get this shitty admin data entry role.
I’m fucking tired man, I really don’t know how to get out of this hole. If I could just somehow get a second role while under this contract I would feel a massive burden of relief. But I honestly don’t think I even have 2 months left at this rate.
Thanks for reading, if you have any advice for sourcing and landing data entry or admin type roles remote please let me know.

Tl;dr

^{I'm sorry I couldn't make it shorter than 4 paragraphs. This post is simply too long, and I'm going over a lot of factors}
If you don't want to read my spiel on why I believe Chrome Mox can be unbanned, scroll down to "Disclaimer + Request" where I talk about conducting an experiment with it to verify my thought-process.
Simply put, I believe that due to Chrome Mox causing you to neg 1 each time you cast it, it would be pretty safe to unban. Of the degenerate decks in Modern, Chrome Mox wouldn't fix any of their known issues. Ad Nauseum, Storm, Belcher, etc, aren't rogue tier because they are slow. They are rogue tier because they are extremely vulnerable to hate cards that are common in the format, or are just simply inconsistent. Chrome Mox doesn't fix either of those issues. Instead, Chrome Mox would actually help other decks back into the format.
Tribal decks like Humans, Slivers, and Merfolk (I go over Elementals below) would definitely benfit with Chrome Mox being unbanned. Additionally, despite being technically a generic card, it wouldn't be a good inclusion in a lot of decks that are already considered good. It goes against the gameplan of Murktide and Rakdos, and it straight up cannot be used in Creativity, Cascade, and Affinity decks.
It is because of this that I believe Chrome Mox is safe, and would be a healthy inclusion for the format in terms of not just deck diversity, but also in skill due to this card being able to make or break your gameplan.

End Tl;dr

Pretty much everyone seems to agree that Chrome Mox would be way too powerful and would completely ruin the format.
But after having giving a lot of thought, I'm actually pretty confident it won't. Here's my reasoning:

Firstly, here's what it does:

Chrome Mox: (0)
Artifact
Imprint - When Chrome Mox enters the battlefield, you may exile a nonartifact, nonland, card from your hand.
(Tap): Add 1 mana of any of the exiled cards colors.

Unbanning consequences

If this was unbanned, it would see play in the following decks:
• Tribal decks, like humans, merfolk, elves, slivers, and elementals. These are the decks that can capitalize the most on Chrome Mox since they have a lot of redundancy and get a lot of value by getting stuff out ahead of curve.
• 4c Omnath would without a doubt gain some dominance if Chrome Mox were unbanned. The deck runs multiple cards that allows for replenishing of any sort of card advantage lost from playing Chrome Mox. Though, this is less on the power of Chrome Mox and more on the raw power of Omnath. In my personal opinion, whether or not Chrome Mox is unbanned, Omnath should be banned due to the amount of power it brings. If you use any removal on it, you will neg 1 because Omnath replaces itself on ETB, it stabilizes you due to the constant life gain, it allows you to go off even harder with spells due to the mana it gives which is much more free than Chrome Mox, and it can even deal damage without attacking. (Which is niche, but its worth mentioning when trying to close out a game) Combined with the Evoke elementals, and Wrenn & Six to make 4 colors extremely safe, this card is completely absurd.
• Elementals (assuming that Omnath is banned. This is a hypothetical scenario, like the rest of the post) would actually be pretty balanced with Chrome mox. The additional mana allows them to get their threats out faster, and because a lot of their cards actually exile from hand for cost, it would actually create a deck that promotes skillful play, since using Chrome Mox, or any evoke elemental, at the wrong time would set you so far behind that you'd just lose.
• Dredge would definitely love Chrome Mox since it allows you to fire off a turn 1 cathartic reunion, which would definitely be a pretty good plus. However, like one other deck that I'll get to a bit later, Dredge isn't hampered by speed. It, in of itself, is a very speedy deck already, and it also runs gemstone caverns for said fast mana. Turn 1 Cathartic is already pretty common with the deck. The issue that dredge has is consistency. Dredge is inherently a luck based deck. Chrome Mox doesn't provide consistency, it just provides a fast mana in exchange for a card in your hand. Both are appreciated by dredge, but it doesn't solve dredge's problem of being luck based.
• Storm would also quite like Chrome Mox since it allows them to go off 1 turn earlier, and they have a ton of redundancy. I am confident that Storm will actually go up a few tiers too if Chrome Mox is unbanned. But this won't be a bad thing because Storm still has the issue of being very reliant on easy to remove creatures, as well as their graveyard.

Here are decks that would not use Chrome Mox

^{or could use it but it would be better off replaced with a different card}
• Midrange decks are comprised of almost no redundancy. Pretty much every card would much rather be cast. They also want to go 1 for 1 most of the time and slowly gain value with threats like Fable of the Mirror Breaker, Expressive Iteration, or a simple creature threat like Fury or Murktide. Chrome Mox makes this game plan less efficient since it takes two cards out of your hand. (Chrome Mox being played, and the card being imprinted) Midrange decks today would be Murktide, Rakdos, and Jund. At first these decks would likely play with Chrome Mox, but then after a while they would ditch it when they realized that they would rather have another spell to ruin their opponents day.
• Aggro decks, like burn, would hate using Chrome Mox because the issue with aggro decks is that once they run out of steam, if the opponent is still alive, they are at a disadvantage. Chrome Mox accelerates how fast they run out of steam ans even delegate one of the cards in their hand that can do something to instead do nothing. That would cause said aggro deck to be that much weaker.
• Control decks have no use for Chrome Mox since mana ramping in control is generally not needed due to the fact they run a ton of lands anyway. Also, like midrange decks, every card would rather be cast than imprinted. They would more than likely rather see another counterspell or draw spell instead of Chrome Mox.
• Affinity and Hardened Scales straight up cannot use Chrome Mox due to their decks being almost entirely artifacts or lands, or both. The only cards in each deck that can be imprinted is Hardened Scales, Ancient Stirrings, Thoughtcast, and Forging the Anchor if they play it. All of these spells are spells that you would rather cast than exile it for mana ramping. There is also a likelyhood of Affinity running Metallic Rebuke and Emry mainboard to support the Chrome Mox, like they do in No Banlist Modern. Honestly, that would be fine. Affinity won't actually be a crazy deck again unless Mox Opal is unbanned, which it won't be. Additionally, NBL Modern is safe to run Emry because NBL Modern has little removal compared to vanilla Modern.
• Cascade and Creativity decks also cannot use Chrome Mox due to it directly conflicting with the decks combo.
• Yawgmoth would seem like a good candidate for Chrome Mox, but the reason it runs mana dorks is because they can also be sacrificed to Yawgmoth. Yawg can't sac Chrome Mox. So if Yawg did run it, it would probably be a 2 of. But they'd probably be better off with the mana dorks they have already since that is what they would be cutting for Chrome Mox.
• Hammertime wouldn't be able to use Chrome Mox because a lot of the cards in their deck are artifact based. The only cards that could be imprinted are Stoneforge Mystic, Puresteel Paladin, Giver of Runes, Steelshapers Gift, Surge of Salvation, and Sigarda's Aid. All of which are cards that Hammertime would much rather cast than just lose for mana ramping.
With this in mind we ask a question: With Chrome Mox back...

Would anything degenerate happen?

I did leave one deck out, and that deck is Belcher. The reason I left it out is because it would probably be the most unbelievable explanation. Blecher is one of those decks where if it ever sees tier 1 relevancy, then the entire format burns down. So, if Chrome Mox is unbanned, it would enable a whole lot of degenerate plays for Blecher, right?
Well...
Both belcher decks are designed to kill you in one turn, though the method differs between the two.
Belcher is, essentially, just a modified storm deck that tries to get as much mana to both cast and activate goblin charbelcher. As soon as Charblecher hits the field, they win. The earliest they can go off is on turn 2 by using a bunch of mana spells to immediately ramp into Charbelcher. (2 lands, 2 pyretic/desperate ritual, irencraag feat, and belcher) To go off on turn 2 requires a 6 card combo.
With Chrome Mox the earliest they can go off is turn 1... but that requires 7 cards now. (1 land, chrome mox, 1 imprint fodder card, 2 pyretic/desperate ritual, irencrag feat, charbelcher)
The other deck, oops all spells, relies on either charbelcher, or one of the creatures that mills the entire deck to get 4 Vengevine onto the field and kill their oppoent, or they can get Thassa's Oracle back and win instantly if the Vengevines didn't finish the job. With Chrome Mox they can go off on turn 2 at earliest. (Land, Chrome Mox, imprint fodder, Pentad Prism, and either creature that mills their whole library, a 5 card combo) Essentially this deck trades Belcher's speed for consistency. However it now has a super big vulnerability to hate cards that Belcher didn't have. Graveyard hate delegates them to only being able to use Charbelcher as their win condition, and they only run 1 in main and 1 in side.
But thats where we hit a problem. See, speed isn't the issue with charbelcher decks. Charblecher isn't putting up weak results because its slow, it most certainly isn't lacking there. Its putting up weak results because its inconsistent. (Or in Oops' case, extremely weak to hate cards) I watched some streams of people playing belcher and the number 1 reason they lost was because they couldn't find a belcher to combo off with. (The second reason was because the first belcher got answered)
For Oops All Spells, the main reason they lost was because either they got hit with graveyard hate, or they couldn't find a Belcher after getting hit by said graveyard hate.
In a manner of speaking, Belcher is like Tron. If you get all the necessary pieces, you win! If you don't, ugh. Chrome Mox doesn't provide any consistency, it only provides just mana. If it was unbanned, Belcher would more or less be the same as it was before, whether or not it played Chrome Mox. (Which in NBL Modern, it does alongside Street Wraith and Gitaxian Probe which gives it a lot more consistency)
Having read up to this point, you're likely thinking that because Chrome Mox is so common in NBL Modern, that surely it can't be unbanned right?

Observations on No Banlist Modern

So, first, lets assume that Chrome Mox was included in a deck because the card is unironically really good in that deck and not because literally everything is suddenly legal and Chrome Mox is a generic card as seen in a so far unsolved, unsupported, format with Dark Depths being the established best deck.
Despite literally being a subformat of Modern, No Banlist Modern can't be used as a metric for what can be unbanned in Modern.
The reason for this is because, unlike our Modern, NBL Modern has a lot of degenerate decks that would absolutely ruin your day, and Chrome Mox is just there to enjoy the ride. The best deck of NBL Modern is undoubtedly Dark Depths, with UG Emry being a close second. Both run Chrome Mox, but both aren't absolutely busted because of it. They're busted because they're running Oko, Sensei's Divining Top, Deathrite Shaman, and Dark Depths. Cards that should absolutely, positively, never be unbanned in Modern. These decks, even if they didn't use Chrome Mox, would still be the best decks of NBL Modern.
Additionally, the way that NBL Modern plays is nothing like Modern because the "checks" are different. A check is a card that is included in your deck so that it can be used to deal with a certain threat. For example, in Vanilla Modern, Unholy Heat, Bolt, Prismatic End, and Fatal Push are all very common checks. Most decks that can play them do so because they check a good amount of the format. But in NBL Modern, the checks are actually pretty different, mostly delegated to a couple removal spells and instead running more cards like Thoughtseize and Force of Negation. Actual on board removal is run in very low numbers outside of Yorion Piles. Due to this, permanents have a much higher probability of staying on board for several turns compared to Vanilla Modern.
With this idea, we can conclude that even though Chrome Mox sees a lot of play in NBL Modern, it cannot be held to the same standard as Vanilla Modern.
We can also apply this kind of thinking to cards that are banned in Legacy, but fine in Modern. The best example of this is Dreadhorde Arcanist, a card completely unseen in Modern.
The reason for this is because, like mentioned before, the checks in legacy are much different than in Modern. Legacy, just like NBL Modern, doesn't run much in terms of removal, and what little removal they did have was easily dealt with by countermagic which is very common in the format. The same thing also applies to Ragavan and Wrenn & Six.
It is because of these factors that NBL Modern and Legacg cannot be used as a metric to determine whether or not Chrome Mox is safe to unban in Vanilla Modern.

Disclaimer + Request

This, of course, is all completely hypothetical. Given that Chrome Mox has never been legal in Modern, and despite me doing several days of research on the matter, it is still uncertain on whether or not my claim is true.
Which is why I have a request for any LGS who wants to do some science! (If it's allowed)
I would like to conduct a study in a controlled environment where Chrome Mox is unbanned for about 8 months. (Though a year would be more ideal since it would give more time for the format to settle, which would give me much better data) During these 8 months, after each tournament, the organizer (I would be doing this myself if an LGS in my decides to do this) notes the decklist of each person in the tournament, their winrate, their matchups, and whether or not their deck has Chrome Mox in it. (For simplicity, the decklist doesn't have to be noted down. Ideally it would just be like: Player A, Izzet Murktide, /w Chrome Mox, 60% winrate, played against: Cascade WW, Affinity LWW, Jund LL, and UW Control LW-tie)
In addition, because Chrome Mox is pretty difficult to get, for the duration of the study, all participants will be allowed to proxy it.
Also the tournaments where Chrome Mox is legal would essentially be no different than a regular weekly tournament. Pay to get in, get store credit if you go 2-1-1 or better. The literal only difference is that now Chrome Mox is legal.

Expectations of this study

For the first several months, almost everyone is going to be using Chrome Mox. This is to be expected since it is a card never before legal in Vanilla Modern and is generally seen as strong, much like how when Stoneforge Mystic and Jace the Mind Sculptor were unbanned 4 years ago.
Then, over time, the useage of Chrome Mox will gradually go down as people begin to get used to the card and only put it in decks that actually should run it. Other people would likely start making decks that would like using Chrome Mox rather than use a deck that Chrome Mox is weak in but strong in the meta, like Rakdos or Murktide.
At roughly the 8 month mark, the format should more or less resemble the format we have now, except the decks Chrome Mox is good in, Tribal decks, Storm, Dredge, etc, have their foot a bit further in the door and see more representation.

Possible issues

• At the start of the study, if everyone starts playing degenerate decks, the study will fail because the format will be too grueling to actually settle and people will just leave instead. (My biggest fear is doing the study and 90% of the sample size deciding to play only Belcher) This issue would cause all data to be nonconclusive, since the study would have to be aborted soon after it began.
• A lot of stores might have a small player population. If the sample size is too small, the format may never actually settle and instead convey the idea that Chrome Mox would be too warping, even though it might not actually be. To remedy this, a survey could be given out every few weeks to ask how players feel about Chrome Mox and if it helped them win or lose a game. Make sure to not ask how they felt towards the game as a whole, because that will only tell us that they liked the card when they won, and disliked the card when they lost.
• The study length might not be long enough to settle, even with a respectable sample size. It took about a year for Stoneforge decks to settle down. Chrome Mox is seen as a stronger card than Stoneforge, so it is definitely possible it could take even more time to settle, much longer than 8 months, or even a year. I proposed 8 months because I didn't want to scare people off by saying this would take over a year to conduct. But if the LGS is willing to do this for over a year, that would be ideal.
• Magic players could just be stubborn and when they see that Chrome Mox is being unbanned, they just might decide they don't want to even give it a try.

Closer

Good god, this took a while. I worked on this for about 6 days. (not 6 days straight, just on and off researching and typing)
I definitely expect most, if not all, of you to actually disagree with me, and I definitely will be downvoted to oblivion. Some will probably call me a troll even though I am completely serious.
Anyways, this is what I did instead of my calculus homework.
Cheers!

Baldur's Gate definitely offers you some viking flavour in both the Berserker and the Skald, but I've been reading the Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell and also listening to viking podcasts and based on that trying to create a build on how a viking (probably) would have fought because a little bit trickier.
My Reasoning as to what a viking build is:
I'd say fighter is definitely in there somewhere. Even regular viking farmers knew how to use an axe/spear and a shield. I would argue against Berserker. Much ado is made about these people, and there is some historical truth that a few elite warriors drugged themselves into a frenzy, but the vast majority of Viking warriors, including those serving in the variety of armies, were regular guys who learned to fight with weapon, shield and armour. Not cloth and two axes.
So you would want to put pips in axe because spears are two-handed and pips in sword-and-shield. The richest Danes, the leaders and warchiefs, also carried longswords, so you could put pips in that instead. BG offers plenty of magical longswords throughout the entire trilogy. And to round it all off, you'd probably need pips in shortsword as well. Repeatedly mentioned in the Saxon Stories is that a seax (short daggesword hybrid) is much better to fight with in a shield wall than a longsword which requires reach and an axe which can easily get stuck in a shield.
So we start with fighter, with grandmastery in pips in axe, longsword and shortsword, along with some pips in sword-n-shield. You do not put pips into two-weapon fighting, because no matter what age, vikings either used shields or carried big-ass two-handed halberds. Hell, the Varangian Guard from the Eastern Roman Empire (viking bodyguards) did both at the same time. Their greatest weakness was their inability to adapt to heavy cavalry charges both in England and the Middle East.
Now, Next, I'd argue that you want to dual class into thief. What made the start of the Viking Age so devastating is that viking longships could reach coasts easily, vikings could do their work and then leave before any organized opposition could arrive. Even the battles in the Great Heathen Army relied more on guile and stealth than proper strategy. The Danes could conquer large swaths of land because of their mobility, surprise attacks and a few clever strategies rather than military prowess or discipline.
It also helps that longsword is a backstab weapon, so you can start with longsword and then move to axe for better magical effects or even a ranged weapon. You carry a shield and try to get Elven chainmail asap. Nothing better. Chainmail dominated all of the Early Medieval period as the best armour kings, nobles and warriors could get their hands on.
So with all of that context, here's my build:
Human: F->T (13/39)
Alignment: Chaotic Good. Uthred (protagonist Saxon Stories) starts off very much chaotic neutral, but mellows into chaotic good.
Stats: 18 Str, Dex and Con, 10 in the others for balance: minimum 84
Pips: 2 in axe, 2 in longsword. Put three in axe and master it, then put a third pip in longsword. Then dual class, where you want a pip in shortsword, sword-n-shield, longsword, shortbow and dagger. These are all weapons vikings used. Then once you've reactivated your your class, two more pips in longsword. You now have 4 pips left, which is perfect to grandmaster shortsword. Depending on how much you do of SoA and ToB, you may not get all your thief levels, but ah well.
Weapons BG1: Axes, though Varscona is also good. You'll probably use +2 axe and +2 throwing axe.
Gear BG1: Helm of Balduran (vikings didn't use horned helmets! But the effects are too good), cloak of Balduran, the +2 Chainmail, +2 round shield, the rest is up to you.
Weapons BG2: Frostreaver or Stonefire, Azuredge for axes. Blade of Roses as an early +3 sword, Daystar is good for undead (though so is Azuredge). Very long-term you probably want to go for the Answerer, which is a better +4 sword than the epic longsword.
Gear BG2: Helm of Balduran, Shield of Harmony, the best Elven Chainmail you can get (Black Dragon Scale while dual classing). The rest doesn't matter, though Kangaxx ring is an obvious pick.
HLA: Assassination, Traps, etc. UAI is not that great for the special gear, but because of the weaker armour stoneskin scrolls or whichever spell you fancy becomes pretty good to use in a bind.
