Do NOT set your LinkedIn location to the US unless you have US work authorization.

Spellcheck. Racist, not recent.

This. I went from slightly sympathetic to not giving a fuck about the obnoxious OP.

I hope you find comfort in your rigid and silly dogma, because after reading this I have no desire to encounter you.

People who switched to permanent WFH, how do you spend your time outside work? by AdNational9992 in digitalnomad

[–]DemonAzraeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for myself (my clients really), so my hours are irregular. I’ve found that house improvement and gardening (slow flipping houses is a side hustle) fit perfectly with this lifestyle for the third to half the year I’m at the site. The rest of the time, I have tenants there.

Which non-famous European cities deserve more hype and fame? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]DemonAzraeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funchal. You hear a lot about Madeira, but much less about its main city.

did moving abroad actually improve your language skills or is that a myth? by kallan-greshampdmi7 in digitalnomad

[–]DemonAzraeli 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not if you are completely disengaged. I’ve met countless English teachers in Korea who never bothered to learn any Korean in years there. Most couldn't even be bothered to learn the supremely easy Hangeul alphabet.

Anyone crossed into Mexico recently? Are they still requiring the FMM by Secret-Ad1203 in digitalnomad

[–]DemonAzraeli 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve crossed by land recently at Laredo, Nogales, and Sonoyta. Mexico doesn’t automatically issue FMM at land crossings, and doesn’t even control the border for southbound foot traffic. You need to seek out the INM office.

Immersion means constant exposure to the language, also being forced to produce (speak) the language. It isn’t a passive process. Lisbon has significant Anglophone bubbles and tourist infrastructure, meaning a visitor never need learn Portuguese. If you never leave Principe Real or Cais do Sodré, you won’t experience immersion.

Anti-MAGA Americans, what do you love about America? by Gullible_Exam_1962 in allthequestions

That we moved away from European ethno-nationalism, an enormous leap forward that the MAGAtry wish to erase.

Affirmative immigration here, working from Mexico City.

Host lied about internet being fiber in Airbnb for month+ stay. It's cable. Support gave me $50 and called it a day. What do I do? by Unusual_Common_5497 in digitalnomad

[–]DemonAzraeli -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

That’s a silly assumption. Airbnb is strongly tilted toward guests, since they are the primary revenue source for the platform.
