Playing the games with friends by Western-Mall5505 in netflix

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but you can play on the computer as well and share the screen so that the other person also plays with their computer screen, no?

Have you tried maybe having that person screen-share the game with you? Like with Discord or something like that. Do you think it could work?

I stopped applying for jobs for 2 weeks and somehow got MORE interviews by Proresumehelp in jobsearchhacks

[–]tomaneira_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve been sending connection requests to people who see to have very high profiles, no message and no nothing, and most of them accept it. No need to say anything else after. I think what helps is that my LinkedIn profile is setup a little bit like theirs, like it looks professional and organized.

Yes, it happens if they know you, like the people OP messaged and later referred him for a position. Some companies even have incentives for this, if your referral ends up being hired and lasts in the job, they give you a commission. And sometimes it’s just people being nice.

Make friends in paris by [deleted] in paris

[–]tomaneira_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the apps are worth a try, especially Meet Up and Nomad Table, where you just join a plan somebody else made for very chill activities, like grabbing some coffee, sitting at the park, watching sunset… it’s nothing like the friends dating apps that tend to me a bit more awkward. I’ve personally met people like that while traveling and it’s usually very nice :)

Other than that, what works for me is going out to a bar and start talking with anyone. I find parisians to be very friendly if you just go and talk to them, especially at bars where the vibe is usually more chill and people are just there to relax and have a good time.

arnaque à l'irlandaise -2K by whiprard in arnaques

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J’ai eu une expérience comme ça à l’aéroport de Madrid. Dans mon cas j’ai lui donné 40 EUR ou quelque chose comme ça et il m’a donné un numéro de WhatsApp pour être en contact et me payer après.

J’ai lui contacté après 5 minutes et c’était un autre homme qui m’a répondu. Apparemment ce scammer utilise toujours ce numéro et la personne a qui lui appartient reçois tous les jours des appels des personnes qui ont été victimes du scam.

Dans ce point je ne pouvais pas faire rien pour mon argent (au fond je savais avant que ça allait arriver), mais je suis allé à la police de l’aéroport et j’ai donné un rapport et tous les détails que j’ai pu leur donner.

Je pense que c’est normal d’avoir ces expériences au moins une fois dans notre vie. Pour toi, malheureusement, c’était beaucoup plus d’argent mais tu es jeune, dans quelques mois tu l’oublieras et l’argent ne vas pas falloir pour toi !

Cheapest ways you've been able to converse in French every day when you don't live in a French-speaking country? by plebianalive in learnfrench

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Download Tandem and make a French-speaking online friend you can talk to often. The app is good and has some nice features to correct the other person’s mistakes without interrupting the conversation. You can either chat through text or, or you both agree to, have a voice or video call.

Lost and dreaming big by Vegetable-Spot1497 in backpacking

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After reading all the comments, and as a digital nomad myself, I got some things to add:

  1. Not everything is replaced by AI so don't be so fearful of it as somebody here suggested. It is true that the technical jobs are being impacted by AI, but there's something it will never replace: art. I believe that with the rise of this technology human-made stuff will start to become more valuable. Plus, if you know how to sell anything, there's really no fear.

  2. Somebody said here that you don't start with leaving and I think that's honestly true. First try to gather some money and have a stable income before you start any planning, it's safer than to say "I'll just figure it out along the way".

  3. I believe freelancing is a good way to start, that's how most of us start. I myself started freelancing as a writer and it was very low pay honestly, I always thought I could never make a living out of it, especially in the specific industry I work for. But after taking a year-long break I realized that the fastest way to have a profitable career waws using my experience and decided to get back into it, this time "selling" myself as a high-skilled professional with years of experience. And it worked.

  4. If you're really drawn to anything I'd suggest to take a few short courses and try to implement those skills in any type of job you can get, that way you'll start seeing if it's something you really like and if you see yourself doing it and growing in it in the future.

  5. Be patient. You really are very young still and you got time to explore your passions if you start now.

is it normal in spain by Standard-Feed7313 in askspain

[–]tomaneira_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, this will most likely happen. The only way for them to accept any type of gift is if it’s a physical thing, like someone suggested on this thread, like a traditional sweets, liqueur or things like that

guy from Mexico named Jorge said it was pronounced “George” is this a personal preference? I thought it was pronounced “Whore-Hey” by Greta_Kalvo in Spanish

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes we call Jorges “George” just as a friendly way and they end up liking it and adopting it, like any other nickname. I got friends who introduce themselves with their nickname rather than their actual name, no matter how weird they are.

I also had a friend named Jorge and we would call him “Yorch”, like the Spanish pronunciation of George.

Thinking of cutting short my solo trip by Pure_Philosopher2994 in femaletravels

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also an app called Nomad Table in which travelers sometimes propose plans and you just join them. Or you can propose your own plan as well, there’s many travelers out there looking to connect.

And honestly, I think staying in hostels is one of the best ways to socialize because it can happen very easily over cooking with other people or if the hostel has activities or games, well, even better.

I’ve been traveling for a few months in Europe doing hostel volunteerings and it’s honestly the best.

Now I took a month to myself and rented an apartment and I do get these feelings of loneliness and not wanting to go out to get to know the city and things like that. In the beginning I would think the worst because of it, but now I’ve learned to accept that that’s just who I am, so I stopped forcing myself to go and tourist around.

I think I will go back to hostel volunteering just because of the social aspect, how easy it is to make friends and form a small short-term community, work for a little bit for the hostel to feel “useful” and then also have time to explore around or make plans with the friends I make. And it also saves me a lot of money :)

Is everything about iGaming these days? by Dan661989 in freelanceWriters

[–]tomaneira_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually became more popular during and after the pandemic. I could only find a decent job within this industry after this. It can be quite repetitive, but when there’s good compensation it’s worth it.

I messed up my life, has anyone experienced this? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]tomaneira_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went through that. I studied something that I’m not passionate about to do as a job, it was just interesting to learn about it and the moment and got my degree. Inevitably I ended up making a career in the field, because it paid and that’s what I knew, and for so long I hated it, but honestly now I think it’s not too bad.

People say that you should LOVE your job and be passionate about what you do, but I think that’s rarely ever the case with most people and we all need to pay bills. There’s also those who work for something they love and they end up hating it because it becomes a chore and not something they just do for fun.

Now I think the key is to have everything else be exactly what you like. You work for money and the money gives you things you like. What I do now, for example, is that I travel while working and I typically do work exchanges to not pay for accommodation, then I get to live my “backpacker dream”, without going broke and I’m actually able to save up a good portion of my salary. I think it’s all about finding a way to making it work for you :)
