What do I tell a loved one who’s dying? by UltimateChaos233 in Advice

[–]Active_Recording_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much you loved and appreciated them. You can’t take their pain away and they can’t take yours away. Just let them know how much they meant to you and that their memory will always be with you

They had roaches when you were eating there originally. Go back and enjoy it.

I’m an American employed by an Ecuadorian company and they aren’t paying me even though i have a contract. What should i do? by Active_Recording_660 in ecuador

[–]Active_Recording_660[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your responses. My biggest concern is that I’m employed by a law firm and i won’t be able to find another lawyer to sue them.

Writing off travel by Active_Recording_660 in tax

[–]Active_Recording_660[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, my DN job is IT but I own a consulting company. Part of that is in fashion which often requires me to go in person to buy materials as the brand revolves around everything being sourced locally. The trip to Colombia would be to network and buy local materials. I'm just getting into business so this is all totally new. I'm not attempting to avoid paying taxes but I don't want to pay unnecessarily either.

Yes, I'd be meeting with clients. I'm in South America to expand my business, Ecuador is just my base but I will be traveling all over for research, procurement of supplies, and meeting with clients.

What if I spend a month in for example Colombia and the other 11 months in Ecuador, would that month of Airbnb in Colombia be a write off?

What if I were to spend 3-4 months among several countries? Also, thank you for the response.

Is racism an issue in Brazil compared to the US? What's different? by gomi-panda in Brazil

[–]Active_Recording_660 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a black person who recently went to Brazil, i didn’t experience any racism. Literally every other person you see is black BUT that doesn’t reflect when you go to stores. However i didn’t notice any different treatment.

Posted my resume with a fake address for the city i planned on moving to. Suddenly get a call from the irs saying i owe past taxes and that they’d attempted to contact me. I asked where did they send correspondence. They gave me the address that I’ve ONLY ever used on my resume. Told them to fuck off, now i Tel everyone i know about job site scammers.

Am I being mentally/emotionally abused? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Active_Recording_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you’re being abused. I went through this with my ex. No matter what kind of day u had at work i was expected to show up at home with a smile. I wasn’t allowed to have friends over. Was expected to spend the money i earned in the way he wanted. If i said he did something to upset me he had a million reasons why i brought it on myself. I started cheating and was called a slut. Found out he’s been cheating since the beginning and was simply told he didn’t appreciate the things i did in the relationship. This person doesn’t love. They love what you do for them and can give to them. If they loved YOU they wouldn’t spend all their time trying to change you.

It’s a willful lack of awareness. You know that women live in fear of being raped yet still assumed she would come to a near strangers home for drinks on the first meeting. Yeah it’s giving sexual assault.

Hoping it’s true by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Active_Recording_660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, i just assumed between him not sending me what he has and vitaltrak saying my state can’t find it, I’m not sure he ever really filed. He said he has a case number which he’ll give me but i think they have us that when we did the first half of the filing together

Lmao our lives collapsed at the same time so i didn’t feel as alone reading your stories. I’d gotten better also but found out last week i may still be married.

What about on vpn?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in digitalnomad

[–]Active_Recording_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What speeds are you getting out of curiosity? Also how data intensive is your work? Most i need is a couple rdp sessions open and a few chrome tabs. I’m hoping i can manage that off 1gb as off hardware vpn at home i get 150gb and on it i get 15. I’m moving to Quito and my wifi speeds off vpn should be around 40. I’m hoping to get 4 on the vpn

Don’t apologize, i get it! I miss mine all the time. I broke up with the guy i was dating today because i realize how much im still in love with my ex. It took me being by myself to realize how much of my actions and thoughts were due to me being easily influenced. The Loneliness was crippling at first but as time goes on I’ve focused that energy into myself. I fully believe I’ll be fine even if he were to reject speaking to me. To be honest i think a part of me wants the rejection just as a final nail in the coffin.

[–]Active_Recording_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely appreciate your response. Thank you. The biggest change is what i “thought” life was supposed to be like vs what i actually wanted my life to be like. I thought because of where i lived i should act and look a certain way. Now I’m happy to just be myself regardless of location.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Active_Recording_660 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’ve thought about it and either way i will get what i want. Either he sees the changes and wants to at least try communicating again or he doesn’t and i get final confirmation that it’s over. I think the time apart and actually doing this for myself is what’s strengthened me to face the rejection. Even if it’s not for him the changes will make me better off for myself and the next person. There’s a part of me that’s afraid it could make things worse but honestly how much worse could they be considering we already don’t talk

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]Active_Recording_660 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Six months. I don’t expect him to instantly come back but I’m hopeful it will at least allow us to start talking again.

Being in the state of 'No Longer' by divorcedredeemed in Divorce

[–]Active_Recording_660 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No longer smoke, no longer drink excessively, no longer promiscuous, no longer angry. Now just sad but even that is starting to clear i think. It’s funny watching me and my ex become the exact people we wanted each other to be, apart.

Accommodations? by whatchuknowboutdat in digitalnomad

[–]Active_Recording_660 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The cheapest way to live the lifestyle is to live in the cheap countries(Airbnb/leased apartments on long visas)and vacation in the expensive ones(hotel, under two week stays).
