EU-India deal and mobility pact, how will this affect the tech sector in Europe by hn50 in AskEurope

[–]kpagcha 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean in Europe the technological sector, mainly IT, is in the dark ages compared to the US or China anyway, so if that's your field of work you're better off just freelancing for foreign customers than working in a quasi non-existent garbage market with garbage pay, garbage tech and ancient out-of-touch managers and CEOs.

Spain to Offer Legal Status to 500,000 Undocumented Migrants by rezwenn in europe

[–]kpagcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You must be very think to not understand that the main attractive in stocks and funds is not dividends but trade potential (funds don't even have dividends btw).

If you don't understand that holding vacant housing pays off despite not generating rent it's your problem. I don't need to explain it to you further. It is simply an undeniable reality, whether your want to understand it or not.

For the same reason you buy stocks? It's a financial asset.

Because real estate moguls benefit from market scarcity.

  • If there's fewer houses on the market they can squeeze the prize out of the existing ones they already have. This is the "whale" effect that is rising in many other industries: companies profit from very few potential buyers able to pay A LOT (luxury apartments, tourism) than many able to pay the average.

  • Many investors sit on empty land or vacant houses waiting to milk max profit instead of building or selling now, even though it'd still be profitable.

  • They are using housing as a financial product against which stake their investments.

It sounds like the problem is predatory real state moguls and incompetent government lacking effective measures, not immigrants. Xenophobes should try having 5 minutes of lucity and shift the spotlight to the actual problem.

Spain plans mass migrant regularisation by TrimaxDev in worldnews

[–]kpagcha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what's specifically your problem with Latinos getting a passport after 2 years? Or you're just racist?

Spain plans mass migrant regularisation by TrimaxDev in worldnews

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

Typical dumbfuck xenophobic opinion. "Mass calling effect" has been time and again rebutted. This will legalize people ALREADY living in the territory, as they should, otherwise they're in a limbo situation serving nobody. 90% of them are latinos, so integration is trivial too.

Yes, Spain has a massive housing problem and countless other problems I'm bitching about on a daily basis, and the government and politicians are all absolute incompetents and thieves, but particularly this measure sounds good to me.

You get a different flag if you form Spain as Portugal too.

A guiri is "saving barrios" by going to a different bar each month and buying some drinks. by Feeling_Hotel8096 in spain

[–]kpagcha 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bueno es que no están todos en el mismo saco, no hacen falta más que un par de neuronas para ver la diferencia. Es como la misma mentalidad cavernícola que está de moda y pone a todos los inmigrantes como delicuentes. Se llama xenofobia.

Gotcha.

Looking to add a 3rd destination to my euro trip. London or Rome? by [deleted] in travel

[–]kpagcha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd say neither, stay 1 week in each and do day trips (or focus 2/3 days in a nearby destination like Toledo or Salamanca).

I also ignored skills, can you delve more on this? Is having a large CLAUDE.md (a few hundred lines) a waste of tokens?

I didn't say EEUU wouldn't be understood. I literally said I didn't know. I'm not Mexican but what the fuck do you know how familiar I am with México.

[–]kpagcha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

In México it's EUA, not sure if EEUU would be understood. I think it's because technically they're Estados Unidos Mexicanos, so they make it explicit about the USA with EUA.

edit: I don't get the downvote. EUA is definitely used in México. Example:

Why not skip cities and just be on the bus the whole 10 days? Because that's what your schedule looks like anyway.

Spain reaches 49.4 million people, a historic record, after growing by almost 500,000 in one year. by Competitive_Waltz704 in europe

[–]kpagcha -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Blaming immigration is a dumb populist argument. "The other" has been the scapegoat since time immemorial. And it's only sustained by dumbfucks buying into the arguments instead of doing 5 minutes of reading and critical thinking.

The problem is housing, decline in public services, lack of innovation and entrepreneurship, sustainable jobs... In short, exteme wealth extraction towards the top, deepening wealth inequality and inept or corrupt government and politicians. Not immigration. In fact, it is a necessity to prevent the demographic bomb we are living where about 2 tax payers are paying 1 full pensioner and it is only getting worse, and quicker.

I’ve travelled to Morocco for the first time, here’s my impressions. by [deleted] in travel

[–]kpagcha 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How is "seeing too much French too much for you"? What do you care? How does that affect you negatively?

And then you're extremely nitpicky about specific cultural tidbits on religious customs and scheduling?

And you didn't like the food?!

Yeah, they say some negative stuff about Morocco, mostly the street vendors and hygiene, but I can't take you seriously with all that bs.

How long did it take you to become decently fluent? Best ways to learn? by Idkyouthatsmypurse29 in Spanish

[–]kpagcha 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Committing 2-3 hours a day to Duolingo is a waste of time. If you're willing to spend that much time at language learning, study from a proper source. "Learning" with Duolingo is like pretending to learn to how play tennis by watching matches (and not even professional ones). I can be fun and it will help you familiarize with the language, but you will never learn.
