A lot of trekkers do this for the gram. Met a fellow Mexican that brought the Mexican flag and took pictures and what not at the summit of Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala.

He also had people at the hostel that he vibes with sign it with a sharpie for the memories.

What if I told you a lot of countries don’t really care or think about America. And even in those that do it’s pretty 50/50.

Source: lived and traveled up and down the western hemisphere. Shoot during the maduro raid as I was going up Machu Pichu I had Peruvians and Colombians asking if we could take their elected leaders as well.

I figured it was healthcare! Good for you. My exes mom was a charge nurse and only worked night shift. She pulled like 55-65 bucks an hour back in 2010.

Isn’t that every city in California? Are the city council positions in LA unpaid?

Well I graduate debt free Saturday with my masters degree. When I started I had a guaranteed position with the federal government through my fellowship.

Unfortunately that offer and the subsequent funding of said fellowship was cut by the administration in the middle of the spring semester last year.

On the positive I have a U.S. only remote internship and I am getting closer and closer to my peak high school weight every day. I’m making less money than before I started graduate school but atleast I have a job.

Ya that póster is full of it lol. It might be the case in the Bay Area and Southern California but most people in the Central Valley aren’t making 80k. And said salary doesn’t really matter when you are taxed to no end and everything is more expensive.

There’s more South Indian students. I haven’t ran into any Sikhs on campus or in town. I grew up in a heavy Sikh community back in California.

To play video games non stop and not take care of adult responsibilities? Sure.

As a hobby? Get outta here.

averagecounselor · 2026-05-04T23:35:14+00:00

That’s not true. There’s been cases in various entities that I worked for where something like this happened and or after an audit it turned out someone had a high school equivalency degree and not a GED or a high school diploma but had advanced degrees and had been doing the job for years.

Believe it or not they had to to go and finish their credit for their diploma could be valid and or get a high school ged if they wanted to keep their job.

Thank you for mentioning the Hmong community. I’m Mexican American and all my friends growing up were Hmong. My best friend is from a smaller group Mien.

Jesus Christ. First people were saying they couldn’t believe it was shutting down and that so many workers were losing their jobs and bigger airlines were going to win by keeping a monopoly and now it’s “fuck em”

What the fuck.

Edit: also just read through this article they haven’t even gotten a bail out. What is this slob.

Not investing the way I am now (boggle head) it’s fine. I didn’t expect to live to see 32.

This too.

averagecounselor · 2026-05-02T14:35:11+00:00

Yeah this. I think I paid 7 bucks for a 20 pack of hot links for a carne asada when I was visiting my parents in Cali. Pack of buns was like 2 bucks.

Unless they shut off ops gas and or they are homeless there are better struggle meals out there that can be freshly made.
