It’s a compromise

No.

Yeah US sales tax applies to everything. It’s not like HST that varies by product

Did you ever make it back?

OkCupid back when it was good. I’d been on dating apps for years at that point, I was her second match. It’s been 6yrs across two countries

I détest the silicone ones. They’re uncomfortable and I always lose the tip. I only use the hard plastic ones

AI;DR

The US/Israel, China, and Russia are collaborating to divide the entire world between them

Honestly there seems to be a trend of countries getting too big for themselves

Gallo pinto is lazy man’s food. You make a huge amount at a time then reheat it over the next few days

1. Chop up onions and peppers (optionally celery), add to large frying pan and cook slightly with some oil
2. Dump in a metric buttload of rice. Day old rice is better than fresh. Fry it up a bit
3. Add a can of black beans, juice included. Mix it all together
4. Season with salt, garlic, Goya Adobo, and enough cumin to topple an elephant. Add other spices to taste.
5. Right before serving, add ten courics of cilantro and mix (no substitutions!). This shit shrinks like spinach.
6. Serve with Salsa Lizano and some sort of side - fried egg, sweet plantains, chorizo, chachirron, queso fresco, fried cheese, corn tortillas

The problem isn’t necessarily the workers, the problem is management. It’s an extension of class warfare. Copying an old comment of mine

I left one of the big tech companies this year. AI perverted absolutely everything. The only thing worse than vibe code is having to maintain someone else’s vibe code on a codebase you spent the last 7 years nursing. Vibe code is absolute trash, but it’s management’s shiny new toy so they make it everyone’s problem.

Expectations changed because of it. A project that would normally take 3 months to plan and implement was expected in a week, quality be damned. We racked up over 500 bugs in a year for a different unreleased application. I would get deadlines in the middle of my vacation days.

And I haven’t even gotten to the moral and humanitarian issues

Yep, well before the American taco was a thing (aka the taco emoji 🌮). It’s going to overlap with Mexico a bit because they’re next to each other, but it’s hardly indicative of the vast majority of Latin America

Traditional street food varies by country. Traditional dishes are more along the lines of rice and beans, soups, platters, grilled meat, and so on. It’s a very diverse part of the world

I’m originally from Costa Rica, but lived in both the US and Canada

The US has always had a major xenophobia problem, even in progressive areas and even before Trump. I grew up in a red area of a blue state before moving to the city. My experience growing up was horrible. Cops are relentless and will try to fabricate evidence to ruin your life if you’re Hispanic. There’s no nuance. Everyone called me Puerto Rican or Mexican by default, even friends.

Canada is different, Costa Rica has a much stronger presence here and people are much more aware of it (though I’ve yet to actually meet any other Costa Ricans). My experience as a latina has been better by comparison, though unfortunately it’s because a lot of the racism and xenophobia gets directed at South Asian people instead. Not to say Canada is perfect (and obviously it varies by area), but Canadians are generally just more pleasant to be around.

Biggest pet peeve is when people think texmex is traditional Hispanic food. Fuck off with that hard shell BS

Are you running a toaster oven off your laptop?

My ADHD prevents me from sitting still for more than a few minutes, even short road trips are torturous. To add to that, my driving limit due to my disability is about 2 hours and I physically can’t drive at night. I also can’t sleep during the day time.

How TF people survive 12+ hour flights is a mystery to me

The American Dream is hoping you don’t die in a repurposed KMart at the hands of your highschool bully

It’s been the American nightmare for most of my life

Signed, a trans immigrant

I wouldn’t call its previous state “good”
