haha, I wondered how they made the mistake, but then I met these guys and they were so consistently impaired on one substance or another that it’s amazing they posted the ad to Craigslist at all.
I was looking for a video game controller and a school in China accidentally posted their ad for an english teacher in the for sale video game section of craigslist.
I responded to the ad and told them I could teach English, and they invited me to China, where I taught for many years.
1·3 days agoYes, I do, that’s why I answered this post helpfully and correctly and you keep offering misinformation and insults.
13·4 days agoin Guatemala, the spicy rice tamales are probably my favorite thing here.
but today I’m getting the chipilin tamales, which have little leaves mixed into the dough and are also real good.
all the advice I’m giving is from specific knowledge and experience, not assumptions, as I mentioned above.
The very fact that you commented on my experience without asking questions or requesting clarifications for what you didn’t understand means that you making incorrect assumptions and drawing false conclusions about my experience, which yes, you should be careful of.
“It can just get sticky if you live in eu and have a job based in US.”
what can? this sounds like another vague assumption.
I know a lot of people who live in the EU and have a job based in the US, including myself, and nothing is “sticky”.
chiillllll. things would slow down a lot, but be efficiently run. interesting podcasts.
there aren’t specific Visa coaches or recruiters that specialize in expats Independent of companies, although a lot of companies are looking for expats.
but that’s kind of looking at it backwards if you really dislike America.
I really disliked America 15 years ago and so I bounced.
it was a very good decision.
you can either teach English online or in person in the country you move to, which is very easy, or you can get any remote job that pays you $500 a month or more and you can at least get out of the states while you figure out if you want more money or what you’re really looking for.
If you have any questions, ask me, I am a font of digital nomad knowledge and love to share
not for what I’m talking about.
as I said, check the country, but double taxation specifically shouldn’t be a concern since not being double taxed is part of the US tax code and most country’s tax codes.
every country, in fact, that I’m aware of.
hahah! That’s so funny, as soon as I read “homesick for american chocolate”, I was like something’s not right here.
you always have to file taxes if you are a US citizen, you rarely have to file taxes as a digital nomad in other countries, but you’d have to check depending on the country.
the taxes you pay in one country will offset the taxes you pay in the other, so you won’t be paying double taxes and you can choose the more favorable tax home for you.
If you are outside of the US for more than 330 days out of the year, you don’t pay earned income tax on the first $125,000(they update the number annually).
your employer in the US doesn’t have to do anything with the country you’re moving to.
“The food thing is BS”
are you replying to someone else? I didn’t talk about being able to find food, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
“There’s a lot of stuff you won’t be able to buy,”
that’s absurd. go ahead and give me an example of things you can’t buy in Europe that is available in the Americas.
also, since you brought up food, I should mention that you are completely wrong again.
like you couldn’t be more wrong.
especially with Mexican and Jamaican, two extremely popular cuisines.
there are immigrants everywhere, and you can find “proper”(false category anyway) mexican and jamaican food throughout Europe.
You’re obviously not a traveler, and are talking out your elbow, so sit this one out.
it’s much easier than you think it’s going to be and is practically all upside.
I’ve been an expat for a decade and a half.
the other commenters seem to be offering incorrect theories, and I’ll fact-check those
If you have a company offering you a job, they’ll be sponsoring your work visa.
If you want to open a bank account in europe, you’ll be able to with your work visa.
you will not be “on the hook” for US taxes if you are permanently relocating, living outside of the US for more than 330 days per year means that you still have to file US tax paperwork, but you don’t have to pay $125,000 USD of earned income per year.
as for American chocolate? its maybe the worst chocolate in the world. Americans have terrible chocolate.
American chocolate is to real chocolate what American cheese is to real cheese. an ersatz barnyard embarrassment.
there are no American goods you’ll want that you can’t get or find a substitute for abroad, Im half convinced that comment is satire for using American chocolate as an example.
If you have any specific questions, go ahead and ask.
Good luck! whatever the deal is, moving out of that country is the right thing to do right now.
2·6 days agoyou can figure out how to avoid the situation and fight back.
22·9 days ago20 to 30% have some form of complications, it’s particularly severe in the vulnerable, very young, very old and compromised immune systems.
I don’t think that includes the general weakened immune system that a lot of people experience after the measles, children apparently lose 12 to 73% of their antibodies following a mild measles infection.
it’s highly transmissible, 9 out of 10 people who are exposed and unvaccinated will get it.
https://www.idsociety.org/public-health/measles/know-the-facts/
there are a ton of stats and a ton of complications that can occur with measles, so it’s difficult to find one comprehensive number for everything, but everyone who is unvaccinated will probably get it after less than 90% of the population is vaccinated, 20 to 30% will develop complications, a lot of those are going to be permanent. and even the temporary complications can last for years.
We don’t have more recent data because it was eradicated so rapidly in 3 years after the vaccine was introduced, but prospects sure don’t look good for dumb families and whichever population they’re poisoning.
regardless of any amount of resources given to Ukraine, The length of time Russia has been militarily unable to successfully campaign against one of the weakest European countries was astonishing and extremely enlightening as to the state of their military readiness.
before Russia exposed itself, this sort of matchup very much seemed like if the US decided to invade Colombia, made very little progress for 3 years, and then lost territory to Colombia(imagining they bordered Colombia).
Russia losing to Ukraine would have seemed absurd until all of the weaknesses and false pretenses of Russian military power were exposed.
now it turns out Europe had a paper tiger for 40 years that world leaders were wrongly extolling the military virtues and dangers of.
it’s not to say that Russia is harmless, because they’re willing to sacrifice millions of soldiers, but they simply do not pose the legacy world-power conquering danger that everybody assumed they did for over a generation.
and to belabor the point, they are failing against a single, relatively and especially at the time, unprepared and militarily weak country the Russia had literally signed a treaty not to invade.
the lifelong disabilities will be awful
video? fine.
20 minutes video?
who are you kidding?
no, that might be why you’re confused.
objectively incorrect facts being spread are misinformation.
like your statement here:
“The world’s going down the drain.”
this is another vague, ill-informed statement that there is no evidence for and plenty of ubiquitous and obvious counter-evidence available for.
