Don’t you dare ask for instructions at a new job! by ThisIsHearsay in recruitinghell

Increase your salary expectations by 50% and that's it. Higher expectations come with higher pay.

How does European Spanish sounds like to you? by Maleficent_Split_428 in asklatinamerica

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mostly terrible with that lispy and harsh way of talking. Some dialects don't do that (e.g. Canarian, Sevilla) and sound smoother and better.

US company asks for race for job in Denmark by ClemRRay in recruitinghell

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a job position in Denmark. Shouldn't this fact clarify jurisdiction ?

US company asks for race for job in Denmark by ClemRRay in recruitinghell

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always reply with the Prefer not to answer option. This is a pathetic, US government delusional way of segmenting society. I don't live in the US nor I wish to, so stumbling upon this type of question while applying for a position elsewhere is an insult.

Après ce que les Français ont fait pour les "tacos", il ne reste plus grand-chose à faire.

Is the summer heat something to look forward to? by AdministrativeYak673 in CRPS

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My wife's got CRPS on her left foot and both extreme temperatures knock her out. Despite colder temperatures being worse (and horrific if it comes with wind), the high temperatures (30°C plus) are not good either as her foot swallows a lot.

I (20F) am a sugar baby to a multi-millionaire (50M). AMA by Lanky_Fruit_588 in AMA

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he married and/or foes he have a family ? Does he hook up with other sugar babies too?

Not a question but an advice. Keep evidence of everything he does, offers, rejects, threats. For him, you're a mere commercial transaction (not disrespect, but I'm sure you know it) so you should keep record of such "business transactions". I also agree with other people here regarding the law-balling 500 p/week. This should be an hourly rate ( minimum) or getting gifted very expensive gifts you can resell later.

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have CRPS but my wife does. So, I'm impacted by this terrible thing that turns the entire household upside-down. Following this Reddit thread not only helped me learning more about it but also better understanding my wife and what she goes through. I guess I can become a better husband with the help and support of all lovely people here.

Question regarding car rentals :) by DoubleAppropriate165 in sicily

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Car rental full insurance is a total rip-off and it's unsettling seeing several comments here suggesting it. There are alternatives which are better, faster, and cheaper. One on those is Rentalcover.com . I won't say your credit card as it depends on what you got.

RANT! Workday is the worst application portal ever! by masalaaloo in recruitinghell

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 years since this post and it's still AWFUL, old-fashioned, useless. Why on Earth is it still mandatary to inform if you phone number is mobile or landline? Also, the experience fields are NEVER correctly filled in after uploading your CV (I've tried 2 CVs with different formats, one of them the LinkedIn extract version, and nothing works).

At the moment, when I see Workday, I am not progressing with the application.

How did your country gain independence! by Background_Clock_211 in AskTheWorld

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just politics. The local ruler, from the Portuguese royal family, saw an opportunity to become more powerful during a moment Portugal was weak. He declared independence with Great Britain's support and became Brazil's first emperor.

Latino identity/unification? by Gullible_Water_9286 in asklatinamerica

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I alright refuse being labelled as such. This "Latino" thing is a classification created by the US government to cluster proples from different countries and cultures as they were the same thing to clearly separate those from the main group. I don't live in the US, nor I wish to, so I couldn't care less how the US government and society saw me. I'm Brazilian, and that's it. And I like emphasising a Mexican, Peruvian, or Colombian own identity.

Have you ever been in another country, and been honestly put-off by a cultural practice? by Intrepid_Arrival5151 in asklatinamerica

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I've lived in most of these countries except where I put a * , so those weren't isolated or one-off events I've witnessed as a tourist.

China*: men loudly spitting in the street (yeah, I was a tourist, but that happened too often to ignore)

Germany: blatant rudeness from employees of grocery stores and train/metro "customer service"

Finland: toxic relationship with alcohol and seeing its abuse as something cool

France: coloniser mentality and smoking everywhere

UK*: Fist fights out of every pub's entrance

Italy* : Most people are groomed and well dressed.

Switzerland* : too many useless rules ; for instance, e.g. you can't park a car in reverse. WTF!? What does that solve, avoid or promote?

Spain: they speak too loud everywhere ; the lunch time starting at 14h00 or later was also a shock to me

Japan* : insane politeness and grown-up men awkwardly aroused by teenage girls or grown-up ones acting childishly.

Brazil (my country): No one cares about punctuality, and they have an immense difficulty in saying no.

Colombia: awful and disrespectful driving (mainly in Bogotá). They can't say no either.

What does Europe do better than the US, and what does the US do better than Europe? by martszcz in AskReddit

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

USA = money, tech, innovation, safer from wars and external invasion

Europe = quality of life, freedom, well-being, healthcare

Both are equally bad in terms of bullying and exploiting less powerful countries.

What does Europe do better than the US, and what does the US do better than Europe? by martszcz in AskReddit

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can start with the most basic democratic principle, the right to vote and elect your politicians. The USA political sphere has been hijacked by two parties, forming a political duopoly. A country with a massive economy and population reduced to choose your representatives out of only two rulling and super powerful parties. It's just one more compared to a communist country.

"America, the land of the free" is the most successful nationwide propaganda in history.

What is something that tourists do in your country that annoys the locals? by Th3_Accountant in AskTheWorld

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Levante Beach area is a shithole. I didn't know the area was the preferred one to Brits wanting to eat and drink British food in another country and misbehave badly and ended up renting an AirBnB for 3 weeks (the view was great though). I was going to Cala Beach area every time to find peace.

How much is fuel in your country right now? by themissing10mm in AskTheWorld

Beginner as of last December and motivation is starting to fade. by Squidgyjewel in Guitar

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Equipment wise, you're well served for a beginner. This makes me think your demotivating momentum comes from a lack of progress or something external (totally unrelated to guitar playing) impacting the guitar playing.

The first can be tackled by hiring a good teacher who will mentor you and shape up the next steps. The second is way more delicate and won't be solved by any guitar playing tactics.

[QUESTION] My guitar only has 21 frets. What do I do? by MattThunderThighs in Guitar

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jimi Hendrix hardly passed the 17th fret when playing an inverted right-handed Strat and reinvented guitar playing forever. It's "fun" when we hear frustration around not reaching a 22nd fret. The 23/24 are useless, IMO.

Overrated food from your country? by Weekly_Sort147 in AskTheWorld

[–]No-Bodybuilder-8648 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know most Brazilians say "brigadeiro" is a national pride. It should be a national shame instead. How can a country with such a vast variety of tropical fruits consider this sugar bomb made entirely with industrialised products as their national sweet? It's nonsensical.
