All about yourself!

[Oleg 🇰🇿🤝🇺🇦]

Annual income: $60,000 - $70,000

It's stunning my mind, because my annual income falls far short of $6,000 and is considered quite respectable in my country  

Those aren't actually that different adjusted for average COL and GDP/Capita.

Yes, I know, but it's mainly about the prices of local products, materials, handicrafts, hiring local labor and prostitutes' price. For example, household appliances, video games, donations to streamers, food at branded eateries and restaurants, branded clothing and foreign travel cost exactly the same as in the United States. Thus, an common Kazakhstani can afford many times less.

Well that's kind of crazy, I live in Bucks County (right next to Allentown) and work in Berks County. Small world.

Three years on the forum today! Sigh.

Age: 22
Gender: Male
Sexuality: N/A
Ethnicity: Italian
Nationality: Italian
Religion: Christian, Roman Catholic
Height: 173 cm
Weight: 61 kg
Hair colour: Brown
Eye colour: Green
Birthplace: La Spezia, Italy
Residence: La Spezia, Italy
Other places I have lived in: I rented a house in Pisa for a while, but I hardly ever went there so this is just for the record and does not really count.
Education: Scientific high school diploma
Occupation: None. Mathematics student at the University of Pisa.
Relationship status: Bachelor
Languages: Italian, English, trying to upgrade my little Spanish. A smattering of Portuguese maybe? I can variably understand other Romance languages bla bla bla.
Best day of my life: Unsure but I think either 25 May 2019 [see old updates] or 2 March 2023 - a beautiful day I spent on holiday to Lisbon partying with people met there, visiting magnificent spots and watching live fado.
Worst day of my life: 21 November 2020. My then-girlfriend broke up with me, ending the only romantic relationship I have had so far after more than four and a half years.
Political party: Independent
Political orientation: I am going to say "social democrat" because contemporary Italy's dearth of ideology has been on my mind recently so that sounds countercultural and non-conformist.
Interests: Mathematics, geography and travel, politics and elections, data mapping, religion and theology, linguistics, literature, music, stationery, nib pens and other ~retro~ objects, collecting playing cards, trying foreign cuisines, occasionally watching weird foreign channels on satellite TV.
Random facts to make this exercise less boring: I have bad sight in my left eye only. I have been to Northern Ireland but not to Great Britain. I dislike wine, which regularly causes people to question my Italianness. My hair had blond tufts when I was a child but they're all gone now. I sometimes pray in multiple languages at once.

Looks: Bored
Location: Burlington, Brooklyn
Languages: English, C- Spanish
School: Completing a University Education

Political Party: Officially non-partisan, identifying with the Democratic tent
Political views: I think "social democrat" is the best label. I am ambiguous on the label of "socialist" given how many complete morons call themselves that, but this is true of every political label. I am not a socialist but you can call me one, I don't care, I do it too.
Economic policy: Capitalism is a mode of production that has tremendous upsides and catastrophic downsides, I am ambiguous to skeptical on the question of transcending it but I committed to the question of building a robust, equitable structure around it.
Social policy: People should do what they want, most of the time.
