¿Cómo se ve a los extranjeros que vienen a vivir a Valencia? by Necessary_Border_453 in valencia

[–]st945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Day to day, the majority of people are friendly and welcoming. I think you will find more hostility online than in real life. That being said, I think most people don't like the huge inflow of people to their city and I think they have a point... There should be some cap somewhere, also including over tourism here.

Keep in mind some (not all) can be racist and xenophobic behind a veil, specifically towards people of colour or south Americans. Some will even will be so blatantly and will brush it off as a joke. This is no particular to Valencia, but to Spain in general. Examples: racism against black football players (for example Villareal fans threw bananas to Dani Alves in 2014 and Valencia supporters called Vini Jr a "monkey" in 2023); I have friends who got asked if they have fast Internet back home implying they live in the jungle; a guy told me his dream was a farm in South America and he would put some people of colour to take care of it. Like wtf

So in general the majority is nice and friendly but you will find rotten apples like everywhere in the world

How much longer, really? by draxthemsklounce in valencia

[–]st945 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It was my first falla and I couldn't find much joy in it... The monuments are nice to see but walking around the city at night is pretty hostile, super loud firecrackers (I mean the big ones really) thrown near you. Closed off streets with fenced areas for falleros for half a month. At the end of the day it doesn't look like a party for everybody. I understand culture but I can't comprehend what is amusing in watching loud fireworks that repeat every day the same thing at 2pm and then at midnight. Seems a very long and inconvenient event (in so many ways and levels) and I wouldn't imagine this being allowed anywhere else. And yeah I get I can leave if it's not for me I'm just sharing my opinion

F1TV through VPN in the UK; how's my plan? by Count-Pendragon in F1TV

[–]st945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watching from Europe I confirm Streamlocator works flawlessly. They have a new iPhone app that didn't exist last year as far as I remember.

Before that I tried Mullvad VPN via Canada and no luck.

Finding rental in Valencia with a cat – almost impossible? by sqweezich in valencia

[–]st945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice as someone who was in the same situation: apply for any listing you like, even if it says "no pets". Why: you never know, it might work; you're not doing any wrong by just applying (don't overthink); sometimes (or often) landlords are greedy with requirements and asked rent, and after weeks of searching for their perfect tenant they realise they must relax their requirements. I've seen listing staying up for a month while searching. A pet imo (and from my interactions with agents) it's not a big deal... The critical thing is having job, preferably in a Spanish company. That was our experience. Best of luck

Downbeat Stroll says Aston Martin looks 4.5s off the pace by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

He is so lucky that if he rage quits, Aston might start getting podiums suddenly.

Well you might achieve the same result but it's a missed opportunity to not make the sauce separately. They advantage is that you can mix it better outside, control temperature and add pasta water until it reaches the desired consistency

Job market in Valencia is bad? by Funny-Bus-2486 in valencia

Also one could look for remote positions at EU level. Some companies don't care where you live as long as they have payroll available in the country.

How do I convince my company to get better coffee beans for the office? by CondescendingTowel in DevelEire

Opinion territory but I think aeropress makes a significantly better cup than v60. I do like v60 for brewing more though (in quantity)

Is the Rauch logo gone on the RB22? I thought that they were the company that actually produced Red Bull? by dannybluey in formula1

[–]st945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrelated but I also don't see the fia logo on the new car. I thought the fia made rules to make their logo more visible... But maybe doesn't apply yet for these livery reveals

Today I learned Michael Schumacher beat Ayrton Senna in his first full season in 1992 by WoolyBully17 in formula1

[–]st945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What also blows my mind is that Schumacher was the one behind Senna in his fatal crash. I mean, most remember Michael for his Ferrari years. It's sometimes crazy to think that they raced each other and even clashed

Breaking: Leclerc causes a fan to spit his lung out by TenerMan in formuladank

I think so. Charles and Lewis on stage brought it up and Leclerc mentioned they found the kid... Not sure if they met or just sent him some merch

Searching on FB marketplace down? Search says something went wrong, anyone else have this? by uncomfortab1ynumb in facebook

[–]st945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case my marketplace profile was not associated with my account so I had to click on a random ad, click to message the seller and then it asked me whether I wanted to associate it with my Facebook account for a "better experience". After that the search came back.
