both.

I taught in person in China at first, and then after I started traveling full-time I taught online because all you need is a smartphone.

and no, the market is not at all saturated, it is wide open. there are literally thousands of jobs available right now across dozens of countries and online.

if you have any interest in traveling, or you need money, and are a native or fluent English speaker, teaching English is such a great deal.

I'm happy to answer any other questions you have.

haha, yeah, apparently when they're skinny fellas they call them crab-eating raccoons.... or Wikipedia does anyway haha, all the locals here just say "mapaches" without any qualifiers.

they are also pretty chill.

they have the chunky ones living in the forest here apparently, but these sleek fellas just run all around along the coastline.

fucked up is also my jam, so I'll be looking all of those up.

thank you very much.

You're accessing a system meant to exrract value rather than provide care.

solution:

medical tourism means you choose which country has the medical procedure you're looking for at the price point you're looking for.

I get all of my dental work done in Thailand: same technologies, same expertise, better customer service, much lower prices, often 50% lower even at the most prominent international clinics, cheaper if you go to the local clinics instead(many still speak English)

the Thai government heavily invested in medical infrastructure, tech and education 20 years ago and it paid off for both their local economy in terms of medical tourism and for people like me and you who don't want to pay obscene amounts of money for medical care.

you can check the fees online before you go, and if you have any major dental work to be done, it'll be cheaper with a round trip ticket to Thailand than it will be in many other countries.

28 is probably my favorite zombie series, and those zombies are heavily magic.

moving super fast and uncoordinated means rapid dehydration coupled with injuries, blood loss and tissue loss and damage.

their bodies can't endure that kind of activity for more than a couple hours, and they'll rapidly render themselves immobile, deteriorate and decompose. there aren't going to be any zombies milling around inside houses or crawling around in fields 28 weeks later.

asymptomatic carriers are normally accounted for with any new pathogen, and with the rapid deterioration, incapacitation and death of any symptomatic infected, there aren't going to be major societal collapses.

asymptomatic carriers are going to be an important vector of disease to account for as soon as the disease is recognized, and they'll have to be separated from the rest of society as a vaccine is developed, but given the rapid onset, obvious symptoms, rapid deterioration of the symptomatic carriers and physical transmissibility, a short quarantine period indicates there aren't going to be many asymptomatic carriers.

rabies is a good example, because it's basically 28 days later zombies in real life.

extremely contagious, no cure, carriers become very violent but uncoordinated, they are fast for a very brief period of time but fundamentally incapacitated after a few hours because of dehydration and tissue damage, and then die.

conditions like transmissibility and natural human resistance make the 28 scenario unrealistic but for the most part, the rapid deterioration of the symptomatic carriers is the silver bullet here.

they are still great movies and I'm very excited to see 28 years later next month.

i mean the internet, or screens in general, although social media can be particularly aggravating.

"OK… could you..."

Me? Sure. Did, as far as you mean.

I don't recommend others leave everything behind when there's no want or reason for it, though.

Common misunderstandings of travel are that you can't take your life with you, and that your life is statically limited to your possessions, job and relationships.

"...worth more to me..."

great!

I appreciate it, he got back to my dm too and I've already added my RSS feed via his bot. if this works you definitely are owed a case of beer!

I had no clue where to start so I am amazed that someone has set up a simple feed infrastructure for know-nothings.

thanks, I did check that out when the developer posted it and it's definitely my backup if I can't figure out how to sync my feed.

very cool that they built and shared that.

I've been able to automate most social media posts, so I'm assuming there is a way to do it with lemmy and I'm just not technically minded enough to know how yet.

i was on a bike, so i guess he felt like he had to hustle.

"why we are suffering this shit now. "

mostly because of Citizens United, it looks like.

the Supreme Court allowing money into politics and then Congress never dealing with that is arguably the largest factor in rumps elections.
