  • You think that’s bad, you should take a gander at the official news sources in Jacksonville Florida. I don’t know if they’re still this bad, but as I recall they have not one, but at least two big news publications, both produce articles that look like they were written by grade schoolers. Anything that wasn’t copy/pasted from the AP seems to be written hastily by somebody who dropped out before understanding English. I’m sure many other cities have the same issue. The one is called news five or Jax 5 news, and the other is first coast news. They’ll hire anybody to write apparently.



  • In my area it’s like they want you to be poor. Those legitimately posted listings in my area are exclusively “scams”, in that they will technically hire some people through those listings, but in reality they’re just hiring immigrant labour for pennies on the dollar, and using state-funded labour agencies to promote these jobs which objectively could not support American citizens. I’ve seen one listing that said they wanted harvesters for crops, they were paying by the amount picked, not an hourly wage. This is a classic scam where you end up getting less than minimum wage, and the Federal government has to step in after the fact to get you up to the disgustingly low minimum wage to make up for that discrepancy.





  • I hope this doesn’t come off as unsolicited advice, I can relate to what you said and want to share my two cents if you care to receive it. During my late teens and through my whole twenties I felt that same way. It passed over time. I’m still awful concerned for the future, but not outwardly, and not anxiously. If what you’re experiencing is like that, where it affects your ability to cope with reality, or affects your motor functions, I empathize with you on that and can honestly say it gets better with time and practice. If your journey takes you to a new country, let me just say good luck and may the universe or gods or whatever you believe in bless you with safe travels.












  • ‘Friends’ was one of the biggest tv series in nearly every country, it’s not just good ol’ American hubris, nor unimportant news to people throughout the world who enjoyed his work. Artists who are known around the world make headlines all the time, no less when they die, obviously. I certainly doubt anyone would read of Patrick Stewart dying, only to rush to the comments to say how irrelevant this British actor’s passing was.
