As soon as they require me to use a Google account I’ll get rid of mine, too. It’s coming soon.

Huge parts of Mexico are in a major drought right now, so there’s literally not enough water to go around. There is also a housing shortage in the cities (due to a lack of building new apartments, and due to the shortage of older tree-lined neighborhoods - as elsewhere, what’s being built now is not enough and not so nice), and gentrification is creating an affordability issue. It’s not dissimilar to the dissatisfaction in some US cities. Some of this is exacerbated by “digital nomads” who moved during COVID, but it’s also due to longer term government issues very similar to what the US is facing.
Anyway, “Gringo go home” is not an uncommon phrase graffitied on walls. I’d love to move there, but I don’t want to make life more difficult for locals, or be perceived as doing so.
Fucking love Mexico. I’m not Mexican, but do speak Spanish… Hot dang it’s a parade down the street literally every day, everyone is super out-of-their-way friendly, and the things they make are amazing: furniture, glass, textiles.
I would love to live there but the cartel violence is terrifying, as is the lack of water. Also… They don’t want me!
Or are they shite? You’re right we’re fucked.
Peanut-butter filled pretzels
Ants on a log
Grapefruit
These are a few of my favorites
Have you found Spanish Obsessed? It’s a Colombian/English couple who just have conversations in Spanish about random topics at an intermediate level.
They have several podcasts, so make sure to find the intermediate level for the conversations. Their beginner level has much more spoken English and basic Spanish vocab, which I’m not as into.
We’re lost
Employed by the country you live in…? Doesn’t sound like it. How are you not a digital nomad?
“Making fun” isn’t quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you’re being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.
I know it seems trite, but it’s important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.
Definitely look into European universities if you can afford the plane tickets. I wish I had as a young adult – I’ve heard great things about education quality as well as affordability.
Many states in the US are on an anti-abortion warpath. I live in North Carolina, which recently outlawed abortion after 12 weeks. I want to move elsewhere – I feel unsafe and uncared for.
Very excellent. My partner and I do some hobbies separately, but I couldn’t imagine throwing a party without him. (Given how few I’ve thrown, that would be a remarkable event for me.) Sensory issues absolutely make sense as a reason to avoid that, though.
I love and respect the way people with different preferences make relationships work… Power to you both!
That sounds perfect
Woah your marriage is different from mine. I’m interested.
A bear on my road has learned to open cars by using the door handle. Pretty amazing. It got into mine, ate something sugary, and left with no damage other than mud absolutely everywhere.
Now I lock my car doors at night with respect for this boss bear.
Love it, and i very much doubt that was the hairstyle!
I wonder if you’re just using different muscles? Like doing a bench press vs an overhead… I would have thought those were all the same muscles, but they are absolutely not!
Do they hurt the backs of your ears? I’ve had some cheap in-ear headphones that also had curved plastic to fit around the shell of your ear for stability. I’d have to take them off after an hour or two in pain, but not because of the in-ear component.
Whoa, what model only requires a monthly charge?
