I can’t speak for anyone else, but I filter my feed by local and scroll through everything on the instance. Go ahead and make a new community or just post in freechat or genzedong or the weekly discussion megathread. We’re not active enough for topic management to be an issue imo

Yeah the way I see it is that, this time, the medical jargon is filling a real hole in the English language. What I mean is: how do you turn “selfish” into a noun? And I don’t mean “selfishness” I mean a noun that describes a person. Are we supposed to be calling people “selfists”? Selfers? Selfians?

You could say “selfish person” but that’s a mouthful and doesn’t sound the same as using a proper word.

All synonyms have the same problem except for the ones that are also jargon.

Yeah OP said as much. “a la verga” means “dick style”

Drawing a huge dick was probably the whole point of the meetup lol

am Mexican. Grilling a burrito is unusual, yeah. Sometimes you lightly cook the tortilla beforehand to make it more pliable, but you don’t put burrito back on the stove after wrapping. The places that do do that are doing it so that the food doesn’t fall apart as easily I think.

Yeah they do. ime there’s not as much emphasis on what Japan did to the rest of Asia as there is what Germany did to the rest of Europe. And there’s absolutely no mention of unit 731 or comfort women or the rape of Nanjing or similar atrocities. But it’s absolutely taught that Japan was an axis power. Where in the world is that not known? Be for real.

It’s got a learning curve for sure, but when it’s good it’s good. Makes me feel like those Chinese people that can type a mile a minute with a numpad.

Have you tried the KASROZ layout? It breaks my brain to use it, but I never make typos from swiping.

This is besides the point, but those are crazy texts for learning a new language. Shouldn’t the starting point be like, Dr. Seuss or something? I can barely understand half of the nouns in that first paragraph of Don Quixote lol

What’s this about southpaws? That’s such a medieval thing to care about. Next he’s gonna go after people that wear glasses.

I saw a review from a channel I like that called it a Christian morality tale about responsible leadership. i haven’t seen the movie myself though.

“Nolan’s films tend to regard power as dangerous, institutions as compromised, and the public as extremely vulnerable to manipulation. All the while suggesting these problems can be managed somehow by an exceptional individual who understands the moral burden of exercising his power.”

The way the US classifies Latinos is really weird too. First you have to state your race, then you have to specify whether or not you’re Latino as a separate question. Because of that, being Latino isn’t an available option for race. But you can’t leave questions blank so Latinos have to select something as their race to move on.

So the chicano family that lives in the segregated non-white part of the city? They’re white latinos. Migrants from central America? They’re white latinos too. Or maybe American Indian latinos. Or American Indian non-latinos. Who knows really

Yup and to add onto this, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion only applies to “earned income” which is wages, salaries, tips, and other payments you get from working. The exclusion doesn’t cover “unearned income” which you’ll still have to pay taxes on even if you’ve been unemployed all year. So interest, capital gains, scholarships, alimony, pensions, etc. are still taxed normally. OP probably doesn’t have any of those right now but a lifetime is a long time and unless they revoke their citizenship, this tax burden will follow them to the grave.

Also they might owe state taxes too because sometimes just having a valid driver’s license or being registered to vote is enough to count as having ties to a state.

I’m not their advisor, but if I were, I’d recommend tax evasion.

This is more of a reason to leave tbh, but in case you didn’t know, you’re obligated to pay income taxes to the US even when you’re not living there. Probably nothing’s gonna happen unless you’re making big bucks, but yeah, all US citizens are supposed to pay the feds taxes regardless of where in the world they live.
