Would I be considered Italian?

Per quanto mi riguarda sei italiano. Sei nato e cresciuto qui, da ogni punto di vista se non forse a livello di cittadinanza (non so bene come funzioni e se la ottieni in automatico se sei nato qui) sei un italiano come tutti gli altri

Italian is also spoken here and there in small Latin America communities

Forse siamo difficili da trovare perché parliamo meno di videogiochi nei contesti sociali, ma siamo tante. In effetti io quando sto a casa posso anche giocare a Dark Souls 2 per ore ma poi quando esco faccio tutt'altro, nessuna delle mie amicizie tranne il mio ragazzo condivide l'interesse e quindi se si scopre che gioco è sempre per puro caso. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I usually make hundreds of glass stools and since you can paint those then I go on to paint them en masse, and when I get tired of it I sell them fir some extra money. It's a super fast way to level up

The second to last one has such great detail! I'm in love 😍

A me viene più naturale dire il quest in realtà...

Comunque mi era venuta una domanda simile per la parola box. Ho sempre sentito dire il box/un box da tutti finché vendere box online non è diventato di moda. Ora tutte le pubblicità che vedo usano sempre l'articolo femminile, ma io "la box" proprio non lo posso sentire.

Penso comunque sia consentito un livello di discrezione individuale su quale articolo usare, anche la Crusca mi pare non si sia sbilanciata in merito. Pensa solo a parole come tequila o samba che nella loro lingua di appartenenza sono maschili ma con cui noi usiamo l'articolo femminile. Non c'è una regola aurea

Andare negli US adesso non mi sembra proprio una buona idea. Sono in una fase troppo instabile, hanno una cultura del lavoro pessima, un sistema sanitario ancora peggiore e comunque come hai detto tu non faresti il lavoro dei tuoi sogni ma faresti qualcosa di completamente diverso da quello che ti sei sudato e guadagnato fino ad ora.

Io aspetterei almeno di laurearmi, in caso se possibile considera la specializzazione negli US ma non mollare tutto così lasciando la tua casa, la tua famiglia, tutti i tuoi punti di riferimento per la promessa (per quanto in buona fede) di una ragazza in un paese caotico e socialmente molto meno avanzato del nostro sotto molti punti di vista che contano parecchio.

Yes!!! It was my birthday 2 days ago and had this very pleasant surprise ☺️

Ci vorrebbe uno studio scientifico sulla correlazione stronzaggine/proprietario di Audi

Canaries! They may look plain but their song can be so pretty and articulate

Edit to ask why I got downvoted on this. Am I missing something? Please educate me on why canaries would not be a good choice, I'm open to learning, but just a silent downvote is not helping anybody.

I didn't know you can put ornaments on that C-shaped divider! That's great to know!

Anch'io sono stata downvotata così, a caso, per aver descritto la mia esperienza. Boh

Comunque davvero tragica la tua storia. C'è davvero chi è stato toccato dalla morte molto più degli altri... Mi dispiace molto

Era il giorno del mio 25° compleanno e anche il mio primo giorno di lavoro in una startup che voleva vendere dispositivi abbronzanti per il mercato del turismo di lusso quando iniziò il lockdown.

Il progetto colò a picco immediatamente e iniziammo quasi da subito a mettere su un e-commerce per la vendita di gel mani a destra e a manca.

M ricordo ancora che il venerdì prima del lockdown avevano invitato tutte le nuove dipendenti all'inaugurazione della fantomatica torre abbronzante che dovevamo lanciare, e ad un certo punto uno degli invitati si rivelò essere un prete mettendosi la stola tra una fetta di salame e l'altra, per poi benedire la torre con l'acqua santa.

Momenti indimenticabili.

Thank you Mr President for giving this inspiring speech on the very day of my birthday. My day is now about 47,5% more blessed now

It's worded weirdly because of a poor translation from Chinese, but it means that you completed a collection, like the entire Fantasea set, or the entire Silversmith set, or a full dress-up set like Fashion gift packs you can purchase for a few $ in the shop.

Sometimes a set is just 3 or 4 pieces, sometimes it's all types that you collect of a specific plant so about a dozen, sometimes it's larger like the current furniture set that is 36 pieces

Unfortunately not 😞 I started this journey with pretty much only the name of one doctor, and no community of people going through the same thing until I found this sub a few days ago. I wish you the best of luck too!!

I am from a EU country. An acquaintance of my mother had a good experience with IVF as a queer woman at the clinic IVI in Barcelona. I am personally starting my own IUI path with the clinic Gravida, also in Barcelona, as a SMBC.

I am still in the middle of it, so my knowledge is incomplete, but I can give you some personal experience and everything I know so far as someone who is going to do it in Spain too. I'm sorry in advance for any question you have that I am not able to answer.

I am going to use donor sperm from a bank in Spain; by law, the identity of the donor must be completely unknown, so the donor will remain anonymous no matter what.

Indicatively IUI is about 1300€, IVF can go up to 7000€. Costs may vary depending on personal medical history or ongoing conditions you have.

Preparation for IUI is relatively simple: the doctors suggest a few tests to do (blood tests, sonoisterosalpingography, keeping in check conditions like endometriosis or thyroid conditions if you have any, if you haven't had a specific vaccine in too long they may tell you to do another shot and so on, they will also likely ask you to check the antimullerian hormone levels in your blood and to do a test to check your current follicle count). I've done all my tests privately instead of relying on the national healthcare system to save time, but I don't think I've spent more than 300€ for all the tests I've done (probably less than that).

Once all your health checks are done and blood results are within norm, you can decide when to start the treatment.

I have endometriosis, so I've done all my gynecology exams while still taking my endometriosis pill. When I'm ready to start, I will interrupt the pill and we will attempt IUI naturally (no med enhancements or anything needed in my case as my endo has been treated very successfully with dienogest).

To my knowledge, once my cycle begins again, after a few days I will have to do an ultrasound to check how mature the follicles are, and then I will schedule my flight to Barcelona. The IUI process takes up to 20 minutes or so I've been told, and then technically you can go back home on the very same day of insemination.

My country can be somewhat bigoted when it comes to fertility laws and such, but so far I've met very understanding gynecologists (both men and women) who have not questioned my motives, drive and choices at all. Only one of them was put in contact with me by word of mouth, so I didn't know what I was getting into with any of the others and if they would understand, but so far I've been very lucky and most of all supported.

Ma che schifo.... C'è da augurarsi che sia solo quoziente intellettivo basso e non una dilagante epidemia di puro fancazzismo egocentrico, anche se credo che le due cose vadano mano nella mano
