But in all seriousness, have any of you guys heard from him?
Hoping all is well for him and his family. A major move like that in fairly short time is a lot to handle. I read a post not too long ago that his daughter has more friends and socialization going on in the brief time there than when in the US.
Be well Squid!
I have very few memories from the first three months after moving. The stress of moving combined with looking for a job combined with selling our old house just all piled on to everything. Couldn’t imagine what it’s like with the added burden of children and it being a different country.

I was the kid in a similar scenario.
I was like 2010s and from PRC to USA. Had to install so much new firmware on my brain (aka: learn a whole new language). Also, racism 🙃
Isn’t flying squid going to UK? I think that make the process like much easier, no need to learn a new language (other than having a different accent).
When we moved from Argentina to Australia my son was 4. He wasn’t able to ask for water in kindergarten 🥺🥺🥺
Someone in this thread said UK, but I don’t personally know.
Yeah, I was wondering about him, too. I think it’s wild the Lemmy is tight knit enough for stuff like worrying about specific users. Reminds me of the days when forums were the dominant social media of the internet.
When I’m gone people won’t notice, they’ll just wonder why nobody is arguing with the lying tankies anymore.
Hopefully he’s just busy making friends in a new country and getting his family across the pond safely. 🖖
Naw. Sent a DM a couple days back to check in, but have heard nothing. Here’s hoping they’re just busy with the real world.
Last I knew he was finding a job to ensure his family was all good. Hopefully he just threw himself into his work and is stabilizing his family matters. Best of luck to everyone out there doing what they can to get by.
-love some doof you’ll never meet
I know his alt but I’m not telling.

Bruh, it’s obvious it’s SwimmingCactus. ::facepalm::

Whoa whoa whoa! Let’s not lose our cool here. I promise I am only a semitic cephalopod. Only flying I do is vicariously through my drone!

Oh, fuck, we weren’t suppose to say.
Weird, that gambit totally worked for Jessica.
Is his alt posting?
I think he became English, and in doing so ascended to a higher plane of sanity then the rest of us. So long, and thanks for all the memes.
ascended to a higher plane of sanity
TERF island, bad example.
I personally believe that the terfs in the UK are just the way they are because of tea withdrawal or something. Unfortunately all Brits I’ve contacted as part of proving this hypothesis have been uncooperative, due to not wanting to give up their tea for more than 48h.
you haven’t ever actually met anyone from TERF island; tea isn’t that much bigger there than in america.
You’d be surprised. I do indeed know people from there but you are right it’s alcohol that most of them are dependent on not tea. (Though that sample does also drink a lot of tea)
How many countries in the world meet your standards of sanity?
very different question, but the UK isn’t necessarily more sane than the americans, just less dangerous.
Ah it’s not just me then. I was getting worried he blocked me after our discussion regarding Sheinbaum’s civil suit against Google
Went to the beach for a donkey ride and just rode off into the sunset.
I just blocked them.

Yay, toxicity!
Toxicity? In our city?
What, do you own the world?
We’d need some kind of a system to deal with that … Maybe one that would go … I don’t know, up? Is that right?

Last time I asked about the inability to eat solid food was a couple of months ago if memory serves. He said he was doing well after the move to the UK, but the food situation had not changed. Also he was in desperate need of finding a job and was really struggling on that front.
I hope all is okay.
The last thing I remember seeing from him was a fight with another user, and a slew of deleted comments talking about suicide. I really hope he’s okay
They were hanging around here and posting more in the few weeks following that. I was keeping an eye open for them after seeing that whole… debacle.
Whatever else might have happened I’m pretty confident that that argument, at least, isn’t of concern anymore. I hope.
I have had my own share of publicly threatening suicide over internet arguments, so I guess feel that the urge was already there for him, too. Moving to a different continent is difficult enough without all the other struggles Squid has shared, I just hope someone who knows him irl is checking in on him
Sheesh
Damn, hope they’re OK!
I’m going to err on the side of optimism and believe he’s just been busy with his new job and moving his wife and kid(s) across the pond.
Edit: grammar
Same hopefully either that or he just needed to do a smart phone detox or something
Ooooooor, he got tired of the BS job offers and decided to go all Squid’s 11 and rob the Crown Jewels?
Coming Soon to a Theater Near you!
*err
I am just a simple Southern ‘Murican. 😂
But thank you.
No, we haven’t :(
Well that’s…worrying, sending good vibes @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world wherever you’re at
I am definitely concerned, I didn’t interact with them directly often but I liked seeing the positive updates about their family’s move.
Hopefully everyone is doing well and just have more important, happy things keeping them occupied.
I’m not a fan of the dude but while lecturing me they did say they were broke and had health issues they couldn’t afford, maybe just hospital stuff in a country with more socialized healthcare?
Moving countries to provide a better life for your progeny will do that.

So we’re just making shit up now?
@Muaddib@sopuli.xyz has a bunch of children chained up in their basement.
Which pizza place does he live in?
Removed by mod
So we’ve gone from “HE’S A CHILD PORN PEDDLER” to “he has baby pictures of his daughter”
You’ve described that in a completely disingenuous way.
I notice you haven’t addressed the basement children. What are you hiding??
it’s really fucking weird that you think of naked baby pictures as “nudes”. something tells me you’re not allowed within 500 meters of schools.

“There’s nothing lewd about saying I’m busting it down sexual style, I love busting it down sexual style at the preschool.”

So like, when you’re at the pool and a toddler runs around without her shirt on, does your mind just explode or what?
Removed by mod
it wasn’t. weird how you got defensive about something no one accused you of.
What the fuck
Source: trust me bro
I was just thinking about him yesterday. Seems like dude has a lot on his plate right now. I’m sure lemmy isn’t near the top of his priorities.
It was the post about Musky having that “meltdown” about Teslas stock yesterday that did it, I was thinking that this would be perfect for a Riker Trombone and then it hit me lol
Moving countries, finding a job, family stuff. Sure his plate is full
Yeah. We don’t see eye to eye a lot of times, but I was going to drop a post yesterday saying I hope he’s ok.
