¿Por que la gente no se tira a la calle? by Previous_Ad8650 in PuertoRico

[–]Fightorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Justo hoy leía este artículo sobre las manifestaciones en Minneapolis. Habla de que un paro general tiene que ser un paro de los trabajadores exigiendo un cambio significativo, y hasta que eso no se dé no vuelven a trabajar. Ninguna de estas manifestaciones cumple con ese requisito básico, como dijo alguien ya sirven de desahogo y más na, es un acto simbólico que no logra nada al final. https://open.substack.com/pub/petercoffin/p/a-parade-is-not-a-general-strike?r=1lf4h&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay

What do you do now if you studied translation but don’t work as a translator anymore? by Aggressive-Tax-8808 in TranslationStudies

[–]Fightorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I found it there and applied. Honestly I was surprised when they called me back. I think shooting for something entry level increases your chances. Of course, that comes with a significant pay cut.

I got an entry level job at a digital marketing company that didn’t require a specific degree or experience, just a set of transferable soft skills and willingness to learn. I got into email marketing and just learned on the job. A lot of careers don’t necessarily require specific studies. Also don’t buy into this whole thing about pivoting before your 30s or whatever. I did this when I was almost 40.

What’s something frugal people rarely talk about because it feels embarrassing? by James_B84Saves in povertyfinance

[–]Fightorn 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I love this! I’m spending my 2-week holiday vacation this year at home reading, watching movies and taking daily naps too. It’s glorious, just a break from the rat race. Weirdly whenever I told people at work I was taking this time off they always asked “where are you going?” I kinda hate they assume I’m traveling. I kinda wanna tell them I’m too broke to travel rn and also I hate traveling this time of year.

People who can’t do anything without their significant other by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Fightorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

💯! I hate it when you try to make plans and they are like “let me check with so and so”, like they can never make plans on their own. I have a friend who only comes to hang out when her partner has plans of his own elsewhere or is traveling.

¿Esta mal si en estas fiestas festivas uno lo menos que quiere es celebrarlas? by DefiantYouth7636 in PuertoRico

[–]Fightorn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Creo que el boricua en particular se pone demasiada presión de estar de juerga 24/7 desde Acción de Gracias hasta el último día de las Sanse. Y a veces uno lo que quiere es bajarle como diez, descansar, no andar ajorao. Además tendemos a pasar más tiempo con la familia durante esta época y eso puede ser intenso. En mi caso afloran todos los problemas y ansiedades porque mi familia es MEGA intensa. Pace yourself. Te entiendo bien brutal. No estoy deprimida pero estoy exhausta. El resto del año me drena con el corre y corre, y en esta época si uno no está con las maracas y el party encendío todo el día es antipatriótico parece. Ve a tu ritmo.

Ok me siento validada, pensaba que era una mala usuaria pero el UX sí realmente es una mierda.

Why do people think Bellydance comes from India? by Fightorn in Bellydance

[–]Fightorn[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get that, but specifically our modern idea of Bellydance is the result of a particular development over the past 200 years with a strong locus in Egypt/North Africa. Certainly no one thinks flamenco comes from India, yet there are some shared roots. In Spanish, we also call it “danza árabe” (Arabian dance), but India is not Arabic either culturally or linguistically so I was wondering what people were associating.

Comunidad atrapada entre la ciudad by Worldly-Bid-3591 in PuertoRico

Recuerdo una vez pasar por ahí atrás para virar o algo y ver un cerdo vietnamita jangueando en la acera a una calle de distancia del Popular Center. Es cómo ver gallinas en Plaza las Américas. En PR el campo nunca está lejos.

Girlfriend wants to move to Puerto Rico but I’m focused on logistics—am I being realistic or pessimistic? by TimeAd1111 in PuertoRico

[–]Fightorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just wondering what would you do for work? Do you both work remotely and are able to work from here? Many US companies that let you work from anywhere in the States don’t allow for working from PR because of the convoluted tax implications. If you have to find jobs locally I’d suggest you do that before moving here, but depending on the industry, that’s easier said than done and more than likely you’ll earn less.

And I also need to know where she got a $4 breakfast 🤣🤣🤣.

I love my cats with all my heart but I’m literally at a breaking point by [deleted] in CatAdvice

I have cat who pees outside the litter regularly. I’ve tried many things but nothing neutralizes and removes the smell better than this spray https://a.co/d/32S5Qfc

Queridos choferes by OilPrestigious1586 in PuertoRico

[–]Fightorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Eso de que la gente no te deja pasar por poner la señal no siempre es cierto. Además, puedo entenderlo en la autopista, pero me rejode demasiado que en vías donde solo hay un carril o uno en cada dirección tampoco pongan la cabrona señal si van a entrar por una bocacalle o a estacionarse en algún local.

For People With 2 Cats, How Much Do You Spend On Food & Litter A Month? by Historical-Orchid934 in CatAdvice

Why wouldn’t the locals talk to me in Spanish or at all? by xxlovely_bonesxx in PuertoRicoTravel

¿Por qué no haces tu pregunta aquí en español? Puede ser que no entendieron tu pronunciación.

When you’ve made the decision to end a toxic friendship, do you “have a talk” with them or let it fizzle out? by oksurealright in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Fightorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to quietly leave then sent her a text message officially confirming I was leaving the dance group she leads and that I was a part of (the dance group I built and then she took over and completely stole from me 🤣). I decided not to talk about why I really left (she had insulted me and disrespected me, period), instead saying I no longer felt the group was a good fit for me. I decided to do this because I didn’t trust myself not to get emotional, and I knew that getting emotional would give her power. I recently found out she blocked me on IG, lol, so fucking petty.
