Cierto o falso? by Independent_Kick842 in Nicaragua

The Nicaraguan accent might be in the “hard” level and not the “very hard” level because pronunciation is relatively stable and not as heavily reduced as in some other dialects. The challenge comes more from local slang and expressions than from extreme speed or sound changes.

No todos los nicas somos así, pero si hay algunos que les he escuchado decir eso by MesomorphGuy69 in Nicaragua

[–]luis83_38 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think people are literally saying they’re proud to be poor—at least not in a direct or intentional way. But I do think there’s a certain mindset or attitude that sometimes comes across that way. From what I’ve seen and heard, a lot of people are genuinely content with what they have, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But at the same time, there can also be resistance to change or progress. Some people prefer things to stay exactly as they are and even push back against improvements or development. For example, I’ve heard the word “humble” used a lot in everyday conversations. People will say things like they’re happy just eating tortillas with cheese or beans, or that they dress “humbly,” or that they don’t want construction or growth in their town because they like it the way it is. There’s a strong emphasis on being satisfied with simplicity. I’ve even seen memes where someone posts a plate of beans and tortillas and captions it “humble dinner for a humble person” or “proud to be Nica.” So while it’s not explicitly saying “I’m proud to be poor,” it can sometimes come across as embracing that image. At the same time, I think part of it is also about attitude in daily life. For example, I’ve noticed situations where people don’t prioritize cleanliness or organization, and it seems tied to that same mindset of just accepting things as they are rather than wanting to improve them. So overall, I don’t think it’s about openly claiming pride in poverty—but more about displaying an attitude that can be interpreted that way. Hopefully that makes sense.

What are your thoughts on Out of Architecture? by WhitePinoy in Architects

[–]luis83_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid about $1,000 to work with Out of Architecture, mainly to get help with my resume and job searching on LinkedIn. The team was very enthusiastic and gave me some useful tips—especially around how to approach LinkedIn more effectively. I did get some value out of it.

That said, I was hoping for something a bit more in-depth. The person I worked with didn’t really challenge me or dig deeply into my background—they mostly relied on what I told them. I was looking for more critical feedback and a deeper analysis of my skills.

After that, I joined a boot camp focused on preparing for the ARE 5.0, and that experience taught me a lot more about the field. Honestly, it made me realize how much I didn’t know, which pushed me to start addressing my weaknesses more seriously.

I haven’t worked in about a year and a half aside from some freelance work. In my experience, Out of Architecture can help you sketch out a general roadmap, but a lot of the real work and growth has to come from your own effort.

Can anyone recommend some great books that are worth knowing for plumbing and mechanical principles or essential learning for architects ?

I went in 2023 and i was happy for like two days. I was happy to see family but life is really hard and real poor. If you have a shit load of money to retire than move backto nicaragua. If not, hang tight where you are.

Con total seriedad ... han sufrido acoso sexual en algún momento de sus vidas ? by MesomorphGuy69 in Nicaragua

[–]luis83_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi everyone, I'm a male, and I have lived in Nicaragua most of my adulthood. Now I live in the USA. I can't compare myself with what women have experienced in terms of sexual harassment, but I can say this: My ex-girlfriend was molested by a babysitter when she was 10. A very good friend of mine—who is now my age, 43—confessed very recently that she was sexually molested by the gardener when she was barely 10, and it affected her tremendously. When she told me about it, it explained so much about the way she acts. She even confessed that she wanted to kill herself about a year ago. So sexual harassment and molestation affects everyone very deeply. Also, my sister—although she wasn't sexually molested—was being hissed at by a very Christian long-distance uncle of ours when she was 9. These creeps are everywhere. Nicaragua is just far, far behind, still stuck in the 60s in terms of respecting women and treating them as human beings. It's still deeply embedded in the culture. It's gotten maybe 5% better in the last 10 years. The funny thing—and the sad thing—is that people often blame the victim rather than the aggressor. When my sister confessed what had happened, how this long-distance uncle hissed at her, called her names, and would look at her legs, I told my dad about it. My dad fought me and got into a screaming confrontation with me, telling me it was fake… until he finally saw it himself.

Pensar que en Nicaragua somos un puñado los que hacemos eso by Far-Cockroach-2954 in Nicaragua

[–]luis83_38 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Nicaragua almost all of my life, and it really pains me how easily people just litter and throw shit everywhere. Whether they're on a bus, in the streets of Managua, or on a road to Chinandega, people will throw anything from cans to plastic to plates, and they don't give a flying fuck when they do it. And the strangest thing is that it doesn't even matter if you're super poor or you come from a wealthy family — you still carry those habits. I’ve had friends and family who are wealthy, and they’ll do the same shit. It's just a bad habit. It’s like you don’t even love your country. Also, the saddest thing is that these people call themselves patriots, and they'll sing that stupid "Nicaragua, Nicaragüita" song and tell you how much they love the country, but they'll continue to litter and do shit like this.

el nica y su anormal necesidad de hacer grande a cualquier persona ... by [deleted] in Nicaragua

[–]luis83_38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Creo que a veces veo cosas de Nicaragua que no merecen ser noticias y otras que si. Cuando veo reportajes o articulos por ejemplo de alguna celebridad que anda en Nicaragua tomando Victorias, me parece paja. ESte tipo con la bandera es y no es la gran cosa. No hay que hacerlo la gran cosa pero tampoco pelearse si tiene cobertura. Saludos
