RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•If the U.S. were to rewrite all of its laws tomorrow, what are the things that Democrats and Republicans would agree on?34·23 days agoFucking the working class
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Do some guys start humming/making noise around women to not frighten them?6·29 days agoI try to do something to make my presence known because the number of times I’ve frightened a woman by, from her perspective, appearing out of nowhere, is quite high. I’m a pretty quiet walker too.
I also make extra space on the sidewalk or I’ll cross the street at night when I’m overtaking less than 3-4 in a group.
Sure thing! Hopefully that can help with ideas I got started by doing little short trips in the US. Maybe you can change things up with some weekend road trips or something
- How do you live day to day, spend the hours, get food, hygiene, etc?
I work office hours at US central time, so things don’t really change a whole lot there. I wake up, do breakfast if it’s offered, hop on the morning meeting, and optionally find a cafe to work at.
Many places offer breakfast and lots of hostels have kitchens and refrigerators, so I’ll take one of those eco bags that I got for $0.50 in latin america and buy a few things for a meal, or I’ll eat out, which I do too much.
Hygiene is fine. Every place has showers and toilets - just wear flip flops or shower shoes in shared showers.

I’m currently in the US. My company’s policy of work abroad changed, so I’ll be back here for a while.

problems
I’ve learned to be more flexible. Sometimes places have flakey internet, but I have my phone as a hotspot. Your plans won’t always work out and its fine, there will be another way to make it happen. There’s another bus, plane, lodging around. It’ll be fine.
- What is a DN?
Your moving long term and have a digitally oriented job.
- money
I kept my job and I saved a ton of money in latin america. To give you an idea, the cost of my not out of the ordinary apartment plus utilities in Austin, TX came out to about $68 per day. My housing costs in latin america ranged from $10-$40 per day. It’s hard to spend there in a day what I was doing just for rent. And that’s eating out 2-3 times per day.
So I have way more money now.
- Best/worst
Best part is the adventure and seeing the world. Worst might be that connections are fleeting and you need to be ok with the finality of things. I think this is good overall, but what I do is I’ll travel for a while and then settle for a month or more at a CoLive arrangement. Those have the benefits of hostels in the social aspect, but you often have your own room, sometimes a dorm, and people stay for minimum amounts of time, which is often a month.
The conveniences of home can be missed a bit, but then I can rent a private room or a hotel if I want. Also, sometimes I want my me time, but then I retreat too much, so the social aspects of hostels can pull me out of that.
- Transportation
Buses in Latin America are great. I flew sometimes, but I have local transit passes for most places that I went to. Going between cities, I often took the bus.
- Sustainable
I’ve been doing it for a year and a half and don’t see myself stopping. I know people that have been doing it for 7+ years. It’s whatever fits you. You don’t have to fit a mold. You can try it for short term and go back, you can do it on and off, whatever. It’s your life. Live it. haha
I sold all of my possessions and have been traveling as a digital nomad for a year and a half. It was the best thing I’ve ever done.
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What RSS feed are you subscribed to/can recommend?2·2 months agoDaaaaaamn that’s a long list. Saved!
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Answered: cannot] How can we contribute to Lemmy code from outside github?English3·2 months agohaha fair
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Answered: cannot] How can we contribute to Lemmy code from outside github?English41·2 months agoYou should be able to mirror or fork, make contributions there, and you can probably try to do a PR back into the original. You will still have to use github somewhat since that’s where the original repo is.
Just from stepping I’d have $1,250 today. I’m fine with that.
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How to set up a computer mouse to be comfortable?61·3 months agoI use a vertical mouse, the wired version of this one. It helps a lot. I also have an ergonomic keyboard. The more natural positioning of my wrists really helps with the pain.
Oh this is actually a real thing I was rolling my eyes like “just show me the clicks and clucks in the code”
I don’t really understand people saying it’s not part of the lore. I did the expansions and everything. I got the ending, assuming that I remember correctly, where Ciri becomes a witcher. And in the expansions, Geralt just wanted to retire on a mountain vineyard in not-France.
One thing I was thinking of with the announcement is what would they do with the witcher powers, but from the electric punch in the preview, my guess is they’re going to expand her psychic powers to take the place of witcher powers.
I’m looking foward to it. It looks kick ass.
Also - are there actually as many compaints as people make it out to be? Like I’ve never met anyone in real life who didn’t like that a game featured a woman.
Oh that’s kickass! I’m saving it 😁
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•DM/Players of Lemmy, what are some silly magical items I should add to a campaign?17·5 months agoWe had one that was a jar of peanut butter you couldn’t give away or get rid of bc it’d teleport back immediately. It also gave a huge migraine and did damage if you ate it, and it refilled daily
I’ve blocked quite a bit. But mostly NSFW stuff and bot accounts. Only a few communities that don’t fit that - mostly ones I thought were annoying
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How much storage do I need and what codec should I use for large video files?English3·6 months agoAV1 also supports variable frame rate. you may be able to use settings that reduce frames when not much is happening. I don’t know how much it’ll apply to Terraria though.
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What place(s) should I visit in the Caribbean?8·6 months agoA quick stop over by Aruba would be pretty. I’ve also heard good things about Martinique. I haven’t been to either myself yet. I heard that Aruba also has a huge Carnival celebration, so that season around February would be super fun.
RagingHungryPanda@lemm.eeto Gaming@lemmy.ml•What games have relatively simple artstyles, but that are still hard to learn & reproduce?3·6 months agoMaybe Gris might fall into this category? The art is watercolor-like. https://kagi.com/proxy/49096932556_9df94050cd_k.jpg?c=ku7SFIUNyzScXcKVCiVtiLt8qp38RhQL-qpVbdZEzLDJAe5oxkuASH4KBlnRxNVbU0-UjMTnFdPJCpJGzapCh641CjuxRLLgJ1LWV6r1hqs%3D
Mine aren’t totally great as they’re both kinda negative. My top comment is https://lemm.ee/comment/16106836, which is pointing out that new jokes are old.
My top post is https://lemm.ee/post/5345101. The image associated with it is gone, but it was a screenshot of an old friend reaching out and acting friendly in a text and trying to sell me on a crypto scheme. That actually really bummed me out when he did that.
