  • I'm pretty skinny, but I hate being hungry. I wish I were better about tolerating hunger, and it's something I could work on, but it's not a requisite skill. Just in case that's useful info for somebody.

    Ricecake's comment is great. Wanting to eat is also often not actually hunger, and being able to distinguish between sensations is a skill. For example, I always think I'm really hungry the days before menstruating, and I do eat more, but often it's stomach cramps and hormonal changes that food does not satisfy. You'd be surprised at how long it's taken to see that pattern.

  • Huge parts of Mexico are in a major drought right now, so there's literally not enough water to go around. There is also a housing shortage in the cities (due to a lack of building new apartments, and due to the shortage of older tree-lined neighborhoods - as elsewhere, what's being built now is not enough and not so nice), and gentrification is creating an affordability issue. It's not dissimilar to the dissatisfaction in some US cities. Some of this is exacerbated by "digital nomads" who moved during COVID, but it's also due to longer term government issues very similar to what the US is facing.

    Anyway, "Gringo go home" is not an uncommon phrase graffitied on walls. I'd love to move there, but I don't want to make life more difficult for locals, or be perceived as doing so.

  • Golly, bears where i live get into houses and trash all the time. To my knowledge none have been killed for it, it's just accepted that people need to lock up their houses.

    A bear also recently opened my car door, ate what it could find, and left with no damage to the car (other than a next level quantity of mud).

    The differences in policies between cities are interesting.

  • Fucking love Mexico. I'm not Mexican, but do speak Spanish... Hot dang it's a parade down the street literally every day, everyone is super out-of-their-way friendly, and the things they make are amazing: furniture, glass, textiles.

    I would love to live there but the cartel violence is terrifying, as is the lack of water. Also... They don't want me!
