I used to be in no speaking terms with my mom for a long time, but as I said I didn’t want to be angry anymore, it’s tiresome and ruins your life.
She didn’t improve, but our relationship did because I learned to set boundaries without some sort of “violence escalation” from both sides. It took time and patience, but I think it’s one of the fundamental steps to become a real adult and not just a grown up child

The alternative is to be angry your whole life and that, in my opinion, is even worse.

My dad softened a lot lately, seeing his parents go made him realize how important the relationship with his own children is.
On my mum’s side, I’m afraid she will always be tone deaf and self absorbed, but I learned not to resent her for that

Yeah flatpak won’t work on my Nokia 3310 either, what a shit software…

Is there really a line which isn’t quotable in this movie?

If you have the possibility to work remotely, this might help a lot.

On a side note, there is something I feel I have to be honest towards you: Jure Sanguinis is a gimmick of the fascist party (they are so fond of Latin names).
They think you have more right to be Italian if your grandfather left the country, because it was a shit place job-wise as it is now, and you know fuck all of our culture than if you lived here your whole life, perfectly integrated, went through school here, work here, pay taxes here but just happened to be born in another country: a friend of mine from Albania had to jump through incredible hoops and managed to get citizenship at 26 despite living here since she was fucking 2 y.o.
Do what you will with this information.

I meant “Bruxelles” as a figurative “European Union” since the EU headquarters are there.

I make it clear because I don’t want to be mistaken for empowering Belgium. /s

Italian living in Italy here.
Yes we have fascists but the americans who commented this post ignore a couple things:

1. our form of government is different from yours, the multi-partisan system helps keeping those things in check;
2. Italy is a founding member of EU and is financially depending on it, so even the fascist know that they cannot just do what they want, otherwhise Bruxelles might pull the plug.

Thus said, the problem here is another: jobs. There is a high level of unemployment, expecially among people that don’t work in super specialized environments, like engineering, CS or healthcare, just to make some examples. I have a lot of friends and relatives that had to move abroad just to make a living.
And I mean A LOT: my best friend lives in Australia, my brother in Ireland, literally half of the company I hanged out with as a teenager lives in Holland and I myself lived in Spain for a couple years before getting an opportunity here. So, unless you work one of these jobs I suggest you to priorityze another country.
