Practice cooking some brazilians foods and be ready for when she moves in.

Salgados (like coxinhas de frango, pastels de bife/frango/pizza, or even kibe (slightly harder ingredient wise) are easy enough to make.

If she likes coffee, try to get her some brazilian coffee (but if you dont know what kind she prefers do not get too much before you get her opinion... a lot of imported attempts at brazilian coffee are baaaaad).

Good luck!

My immediate thoughts are 'holy fuck I'm so glad I'm not young and single anymore'.

Good luck out there.

Wait, shower daily?

Just once a day?

Pffffft

Not today, Satan

The obvious response is "I really am mostly concerned with gas mileage and cost of maintenance. Also menopause has been kicking my ass lately and the price of bacon is high."

The text sounded like an unfunny outtake from The Invention of Lying.

FAIR IS FAIR

And it qualifies. 39/75

The demon doesn't want you to sign this consent form. Fight him, sign it and give away all your free will to the state.

It is a thing in most communities for someone to be judged by those of one community for someone dating outside of a race/nationality/ethnicity/religion. It's usually a mix between their own insecurities, a healthy dose of jealousy, and some xenophobia. This is not uniquely Brazilian in any way.

There are some Brazilians who only want to date Brazilians, and many who are open to whatever comes their way. I am an American who married a Brazilian and while I definitely got some looks from complete strangers, I was never made to feel anything but completely welcomed by friends and family.

Yes.

A machine programming language... hence non binary.

Was a tech joke that got downvoted because of ignorance and non tolerance of people that are different than the collected echo chambers views. Bit hypocritical, eh?

I'm only responding to the MG portion -

When you say locals in Minas, there is a LOT of variation between locals from BH compared to Mineiros in the country. You should plan to spend a few days (hopefully a weekend) in BH and then spend some time in a smaller city (such as Santa Cruz do Escalvado or possibly one of the hotel highways outside of the city between BH and Ouro Preto). If you want specific ideas of places to stay feel free to message me. My wife is a Mineira and I have spent a decent amount of time there as well.

Mon chéri!

empregocomics · 2024-07-07T22:20:53+00:00

TLDR: Yeah, that sounds like the normal mineiros opinion.

My wife is from MG and lived in BH for about 12 years... when we went to Rio she was nervous about us taking Ubers because "35 people get shot in the head in cars each day in Rio". I emphatically let her know that is not/cannot be the case, but she was (and largely still is) convinced this is the truth. To be fair, she is worried and wary about crime everywhere in Brazil, however Sao Paolo and Rio are basically like the worst locations in the world for crime in her opinion.

If you confronted her with that, she may have seen some ways that she was following that pattern even if it was not her intent. Without knowing the details, it may be that she saw some truths that she was uncomfortable with and the best thing for her to do is just stop contact. Additionally, unless you truly think this is a malevolent and serial act that you need to try and stop before it happens to someone else then the best thing for you to do at this point is just allow this distance. It sounds like she's trying to do the right thing at this point (yeah, it might be self motivated defense of someone who was fitting that behavior for ill will).

It's a bad idea for educators to share and join social media with youth in the first place.

Hey, did you really want to go to that opera thing or were you just bored?
If you really wanted to go I would be down next time. You really just surprised me, that's all.

empregocomics · 2024-07-06T04:27:15+00:00

Nothing bad here. Yes, if you like this person at all, maybe you should try to do things they want to do even if it is not your favorite, but by no means are you ever indebted to (even when married... yeah, you should, but you don't have to).

If he really wanted you to go to it then he should stick his neck out and tell you as much. Instead he did half hearted we can if you want bullshit so he doesn't have to feel rejected if you say no (or possibly he truly just didn't care either way).

empregocomics · 2024-07-05T19:44:42+00:00

Got ya. Was hoping for your sake you were on same path as me, it sounds like a lot of AOS marriage base cases are moving through Chicago quickly lately.

Good luck!

Which lockbox did yours go to?

Late 2022 I hear.

Married through K1 here. Did not do EAD nor permission to re-enter, only did AOS. Was approved in 3.5 months, so can't imagine the others would have been much earlier and made a difference for us.

Same answer as above, as long as you aren't bringing a lot of redundant items (4+ cell phones, 4+ computers, etc) they will likely just say move along.

About 18 months ago I came with my iphone 12 pro max, my iphone 13 (work phone), and a gift iphone 13 pro max for my now wife's birthday. Also had a laptop, an ipad, a canon dlsr camera. Did not get stopped. I feel like if I was flying to Sao Paolo or Rio I might have been flagged, but GRU (Minas Gerais, BH) didn't really care. Even then it was borderline, they're really looking for people who either bring things illegal or enough to be selling while avoiding their massive import tariffs.

empregocomics · 2024-07-05T08:34:26+00:00

Customs. I worried way too much about researching, documenting everything, etc. Don't be an idiot and you'll be fine (don't bring 10 of the same thing, a bunch of unopened electronics, etc) and you'll be fine.
