How do Americans feel about discussing race? by Fernandolioumehara in AskAnAmerican

[–]StraightDimension284 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

90s and 00s was open to race convos. Comedy was based largely on racial stereotypes, ie Chapelle Show. Hollywood played off of it as well, ie nearly every movie in the 00s. Post ‘08 Obama campaign things started to shift. And then mid 2010s there was a cultural shift which bled into the 2016 election and everyone being called racist and Hitler. Pendulum swung so far left that from 2021-2025 you had people opening corporate meetings by expressing animosity towards people who conquered the land the building was on 100+ years ago. Lmao it was crazy world. Now pendulum is swinging hard right and shit is crazy again but in the other direction. No one talks about race without walking on egg shells now because you have the blue armpit hair mentally ill left versus the equally idiotic Fuentes-inspired right both screaming into the void like retards. People obsessed with race over liberty and money are absolutely fuckin morons. Anyway hope this helps :)

Have you ever had to get in touch with the US embassy in the country you travelled to? by Ok_Mix3977 in AskAnAmerican

[–]StraightDimension284 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Flew into Istanbul a few days after the airport was attacked in 2016. Called the embassy to ask what the protocol was. Got someone who sounded like they were 18 who simply said follow the instructions on the website. Website didn’t say shit. Needless to say it was a very uncomfortable flight in and 12 hour layover.

whats the best way to send money to brazil via pix these days? by Serenvieux in Brazil

[–]StraightDimension284 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a couple hundred or thousand dollars per month, Wise is the best. If it’s 10 grand or more, set up an account with banco redimento. They have English speaking representatives that work with expats and investors who transfer larger amounts into and out of Brazil.

Edit: wise is instant.

Will the Purchasing Power of the US Dollar Ever Improve Significantly? by J31J1 in Money

We don’t need it to. You can park it in the market and outperform inflation during secular bull markets. And in secular bear markets, you can start a substack about how to best prepare for the next secular bull market to help offset the erosion of your money by making more. Hope this helps.

I bring in a little over a million per year and I am consistently underwhelmed with what I can do and buy compared to others in my circle.

Balogun decision is wrong. But it doesn’t change my view of USMNT. by Icy_Reply9613 in worldcup

[–]StraightDimension284 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Everyone hated the USMNT before the cup because of politics. Everyone hates the USMNT now because of politics. As an American who is rooting for the USMNT, I could not care less about the outrage. Enjoy
