        I’m fine! I can get citizenship elsewhere! My father was a naturalized American citizen! He came from… England. Fuck.

        solution: learn hungarian (that place is a shithole but it works to get eu citizenship)

          Impossible fucking language though, isn’t it? One of my colleagues is natively Hungarian and even he says he doesn’t like speaking his language because of how hard it is.

          I probably shouldn’t extrapolate from a single data point, but that’s all that I know about it
