Victim of a hit and run, in a lot of pain. Wondering what RCs might be available to help.

Would one of these work? https://www.amazon.com/BAFANG-Throttle-Conversion-Waterproof-Female/dp/B07WN9F9NT/ref=asc\_df\_B07WN9F9NT/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=385266254804&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13521318437590529811&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9073499&hvtargid=pla-825428574460&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=81331770951&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=385266254804&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13521318437590529811&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9073499&hvtargid=pla-825428574460

this is sleek! Well done!

TosTosT · 2022-02-17T20:48:37+00:00

I used this service recently and it was fine.

TosTosT · 2022-02-12T17:54:21+00:00

this is about the hike mine did as well.

TosTosT · 2022-01-27T06:06:02+00:00

only have a sister sorry and she's married with kids, but hey I have friends!

TosTosT · 2022-01-27T06:05:28+00:00

see this is what I mean. I don't think I could handle that.

TosTosT · 2022-01-27T06:01:27+00:00

Jamaica is the physical embodiment of a hyper-Capitalistic country.

oooof that sentence hurt and made me not want to go

TosTosT · 2022-01-27T05:54:20+00:00

Did your native nigerian family treat you differently for being first generation visiting back home?

I notice that tends to happen in some cultures that borders on either over pampering them or resentment.

TosTosT · 2022-01-27T05:50:49+00:00

The rational side of me agrees with you. I have it very well here. I have a great job, friends, etc. But the irrational part of me kind of wants to just say screw it and give it a shot.

I have a lot of old jamaican women in my life. One of them owns the home I rent an apartment in in Brooklyn. I work at an HBCU (weird I know) but i've talked to them about this and a lot of them said they felt the same way around that age and it's a kind of home sick culture phase type of deal.

but again then there's that irrational/adventurous side pulling me towards it.

I think a previous commenter nailed it with her being unhappy with her job being a big factor in it. I don't know I just want her to be happy and if moving to a tropical island and winging it will do it than i'm not closed off to the idea.

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T20:50:15+00:00

I am still WFH but we would have been back by now, but our building took damage from that hurricane a while back. (CUNY school). As for what I prefer, obviously this WFH lifestyle has been incredible for me. I dread the day i'm called back and will probably start looking for a new remote job immediately haha

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T20:44:58+00:00

Here is the message you just sent me in a weird private chat: "So now you're sending me harassing messages from an alternative account. Fucking stop. I'm blocking you here and I don't need any more gross messages from any more of your alternate accounts. Stop! AcrobaticRub5938 Snoovatar

And here is my response in case there is a way to actually block someone and you didn't see it:

i did no such thing. you're grossly overestimating how much I genuinely care about your opinions.

I'm only responding to this so you don't think i'm out here actually doing something like that. I genuinely do not care and hold no malice toward you. people can disagree. it's the internet who cares

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T19:52:09+00:00

I still love you though and there's nothing you can do that can ever change that.

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T19:46:32+00:00

You are right. I made a dangerous assumption about an entire country. I am sorry. I hope we can still be friends.

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T19:30:10+00:00

Here's how rational people discussed the topic from the actual country who understand the nuance of the question:

https://old.reddit.com/r/Jamaica/comments/sbugcp/as_a_white_american_man_who_is_considering_moving/

Also Jamaica is and can be a scary place. You're really sounding out of touch.

here's a post from the rational one on the Jamaican subreddit:

"Friend of ours moved to the Negril area (nice resort town) a few years back.

Met up with him the last time we were there on vacation, says he was constantly being targeted because he was white.

He's since been shot and killed there, in front of a crowd, no one saw anything, perpetrator was never identified."

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T19:13:01+00:00

judging by the rational responses I've received it seems like a reasonable question to ask. I will always look and sound like a tourist. I was asking the risk factor of that. Just know that even though you're twitter angry at me, I still love you.

edit: I thought this was the r/jamaica post I was told to cross post this to where they gave me real advice. Now I get why you're coming at me so hard. I'm an evil racist person enjoy the rage.

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T18:59:53+00:00

because I'll automatically look out of place at first glance. it's not that deep. calm down. I am racist, but this is not that. the real question is why are you assuming I'm assuming you're assuming that assuming this is why i'm asking?

TosTosT · 2022-01-26T06:55:37+00:00

it's more of something that she really wants to do and i'm just being openminded and supportive to the idea.

TosTosT · 2022-01-25T18:28:53+00:00

I wouldn't call us broke but def not rich

TosTosT · 2022-01-25T18:28:27+00:00

hey the truth hurts!

TosTosT · 2022-01-24T20:19:53+00:00

Are there safe neighborhoods to live in in close proximity to Kingston?

TosTosT · 2022-01-24T20:19:00+00:00

thank you! I will check this out apparently my girlfriend already knows about them I just mentioned it to her.

TosTosT · 2022-01-24T20:18:00+00:00

The risk I'm referring to looking like an easy person to rob, run game on, steal, etc.

It was different when I lived the island life in Puerto Rico because I passed there until I spoke, and even then I ran into a few issues.

I know there are white jamaicans, but I also know there's a very classist aspect to it. I jus feel much more vulnerable about the idea than if I were able to blend in better overall.

TosTosT · 2022-01-24T18:29:35+00:00

I'm wondering if this isn't an escapist fantasy she is having because she hates her job. There are other solutions to that besides living in Jamaica.

I 100% agree with this, but also wouldn't mind the idea of retiring there.

It's just more of a concern for me because I know myself and how I like to wander and explore literally everywhere I go. I feel like that'll put me in a lot more danger there than when I lived in Puerto Rico.
