π«π· FRANCE APPRECIATION POST π«π·
π«π· I came to France almost ten years ago and even an idiot like me was given a salary in order to undergo graduate studies for free in applied cryptography at the worldβs best labs for that domain. π«π·
π«π· A few years later, I was given French citizenship and allowed to remain in France as a complete equal to the local French people, to vote in elections and to own my own house. π«π·
π«π· Today, after two weeks of work, France officially allowed my mother to stay with me beyond her short-stay visa and for the entire duration of the Israel-Lebanon war. If it werenβt for this, my mother would have had to go back and stay under bombing on her own with nobody to take care of her. π«π·
π«π· I love you, France! I love you!!! You have been so unfailingly kind to me. In spite of your suffocating bureaucracy, your insane taxation and your many other flaws, I love you, and I will never take you for granted. π«π·
π«π· I look forward to continuing to be the best French citizen that I can be. Through social contributions through my French company @symbolicsoft, through civic participation, the vote, and everything else that is within my power. π«π·
π«π· MERCI LA FRANCE! π«π·
