Just tell him that he doesn’t drink real mate, and that spanish doesn’t have that many sh sounds in it.
“I took my yerba mate to yoga class in Mr Miyagis ying yang dojo” is not meant to be pronounced as “Sho shevo mi sherba mate al clase de shoga en el dosho shing shang de señor mishagi”

Well, going from having organized religion to removing it means things have to be done. with this kind of rhetoric, it’s violence.

The world is full of idiots. Save your sanity and ignore them.
yeah, by ignoring them, they’re bringing back diseases that were managed well (polio, etc) and put the US in the hands of fascism.

One NYC luxury I experienced when I visited was a cool summer breeze at night after coming back from a gig while drinking a slurpee.
Well NYC, your country sucks, but you have a good metal scene.

- Comment on Police in England brace for disorder as far right promote anti-migrant protests 4 days ago:
Now here’s some protests for the police to take their agression out on. Oh wait, they’re probably going to coddle them, not kettle them since it’s their mates.
Also, what are these would-be jackbooted thug fascists going to do about it if they get beaten up during the protests? “Oh no, I condone them using violence against the lefties, but they beat me!”
This is not an endorsement of police brutality; it is a satire.

This discussion is making me think about the number of subscriptions I have, and the amount of expendable income I waste.
yeah, I have no idea why you’re spending 343 on a watch every month. Also, this just re-validates my perspective that a car would just ruin me financially, and would have done so my entire life.

Let’s see…
16k is about 1,300 a month. I paid about 700 for rent, and 2018 was before the current inflation wave, so 1,698.95 in today’s pound sterling, leaving me with about 600 a month
I was on calorie restrictions as part of my “get/stay in shape” , and usually ate pasta, rice, eggs and protein powder, with vegetables whenever , small amounts of cheese and condiments/hot sauce. My usual goal for food budget was £10 a day.
Other expenditures were internet, electric, water and climbing gym membership. That’s it. I think I was buying CBD vapes at the time for my anxiety as well, but that was a more occasional expense. I can’t remember how much those things were, maybe 40 for internet? I can’t remember my mobile phone plan.
No car, no subscriptions, or other recurring costs. NHS for healthcare.
$20K right now, I’d live for maybe 2 months on that.
You spend 10k a month?? I currently earn somewhere between 4-5K dollars , what do you spend that money on?

Just to put it into perspective, the sabbatical isn’t meant to be frequent and usually you’re not meant to be paid, just have a job to go back to after. If it’s available, it’s somewhere where you’re quite senior and been working there for a long time.
For my sabbatical, I just straight up quit; I wasn’t even playing to stay in the same country after it was over.

Was it easy to finance?
I mean… yes and no? I earned about £35k+ per annum between between 2013 ish and 2017 ish, and didn’t spend much money on hobbies and such and being frugal. So I was saving money without trying that hard, and figured that about £16k was enough to take a year out to try to learn spanish and slightly change careers, if I spent about £1k a month.
What made your sabbatical so good?
The complete freedom, living on my own, being able to work on daily and long term goals. I lived in a town that was near london, so it was (kinda) cheaper, walkable, 1 h away from london so I could visit from time to time, and had a climbing center nearby.
I took the time to get regular exercise, work on my mental health, learn spanish and just live at my own pace. I even travelled a little (I had a holiday I booked in 2017 for 2018 that I was going on anyway to visit LATAM, and Behold The Arctopus was playing live gigs again for the first time in 5 years, and obviously they were not coming to europe, so I went to NY for like 5ish days (3 days + 1 night + 1 morning).
I’d love to but all the logistics are overwhelming for me.
What logicistics caused you issues? I stayed in the same place I was in while I was working, and all I had to do was quit my job. There’s not much to do… oh. You must be from the US? Healthcare? Good luck with that shit.
- Comment on Anon saves up 1 week ago:
as a heads up, if you can save enough money to take a sabbatical, you should. It was the greatest time of my fuckin’ life.
- Comment on Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid? 1 week ago:
It’s because Alaska has migratory patterns, that’s why it’s sometimes southwest of Texas, other times it’s right next to California.
How are you going to build a bridge that moves that far, dumbass?
