Please don't come to Spain for that. We have too many people coming for that and they bring more bad than good :(

[–] yum@lemmy.eco.br 2 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

I'm thinking of moving to Spain. Are locals ok with immigrants?

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

If you find that they don't understand you speaking American, just repeat yourself, slower and louder, until they do.

[–] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

The answer depends on a LOT of things. Most importantly country of origin.

If you're from Latin America, most people won't even notice. Since we already have huge amount of Latin American immigrants, so we are used to it.

If you're from a "white" country, it's very important that you are respectful to the local culture and try to genuinely learn Spanish. This is mostly a problem with tourists instead of immigrants, but most Spaniards hate with passion when foreigners complain about things not being in English/German/french/whatever.

If you're from a "black" country, it depends on where you move to. In some parts of Spain you'll inevitably face a lot of racism. In others, you'll find groups of people that will try to protect you. But as always, there's always at least some racists.

And of course, don't do crime. But that goes for locals too.

And I think this is a global advice. But people will instantly judge if you are lazy or hard-working. If you help your local community without asking much in return, people will probably talk about how hard working you are, and even racists will probably say "for being for country X, he's a nice guy".

I'd say xenophobes are a reality but fortunately a minority and their xenophobia is generally low intensity. YMMV if you are poorer and/or darker, but I think in general you'll be welcome if you are coming to stay, specially if you make an effort to learn the language. If the place you want to go has a regional language (Galician, Catalan, Basque, Asturian...) nothing gets to most locals' hearts quicker than a foreigner learning that too (and the regional governments normally offer free courses).

just introduced my 9 year old to Futurama,

I fear Bender Bending Rodriguez is her new personality.

I'm glad she only asked me what blackjack is, which makes me worry that she's already aware of what hookers are

I just showed mine king of the hill, now my daughter won't stop saying "guns don't kill people, the government does" a la Dale Gribble. Futurama is next.

AI is going to replace me?

Is is going to be a disappointment for my parents?

[–] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago

well, yes. But it's also a disappointment to everyone else.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 7 points 1 day ago

It already did.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's really easy though. And without getting plastered. Just start at about 5 or 6 and have one drink an hour. Then, with a bit of self-control and go to bed before 1 in the morning and you've 2 hours to spare.

[–] Smc87@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

For a person.

He's saying having a six-pack in the morning isn't challenging. Which it isn't. But AI can't get drunk, which is the aim of drinking beer, which males the joke.

Him explaining and me now over-explaining it makes it worse. Sorry.

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 15 hours ago

I was also making a timezone joke :D

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 15 hours ago

Spain is in UTC or UTC+1. I'm on UTC-8. 11AM for Spain is 3AM for me, making it easy for me to have a not-too-crazy evening and still be in bed before 11AM UTC.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago (7 children)

gets sprayed with water gun by locals

in the hot Spanish sun, I'd appreciate that

Ai will never grow into a Sr. Software Developer they will just code worse than the worst developer at your company. Unless they magically learn how to design good architecture, they won't replace people in the long term. They are currently just creating more work overall by giving people the ability to create quick and dirty bad code. I inherited a tool vibe coded by a Jr. that will take me twice as long to fix it as it did to for them to make it. I am trying to convince my boss to let me throw it away and start fresh because it will save time but it is a hard sell.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Good luck putting AI in charge of project management, creating utterly useless teams meetings that are guaranteed to maximize the productivity wasted is a finely homed skill

Ever drink a 60 of rum, get fired and divorced the same day?

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

60 grams? 60 milliliters? 60 sizes of banana?

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

My guess is 60 oz., which doesn't make a lot of sense because even in the US that is sold as 1.75 L

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 5 points 23 hours ago

Could be Canadian, we call it a 60 here

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe he drank it in 60 seconds?

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago

"Hey man, any of that rum left?"

"Nope"

"What happened to it?"

[–] Disregard3145@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which Al? Bundy? Yankovich?

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the way things are going they will probably invent a way for ai to drink beer in our behalf instead of letting it work and do the boring shit for us.

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

OK Google, handle this social interaction as if I was inebriated.

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Google: Ok I overshared all your deepest secrets to everyone and then threwup. I think everyone hates you now

[–] RichardDegenne@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Another successful Saturday night in my book!

[–] rickdg@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

That's only because you can't find a decent breakfast, might as well get shit-faced.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Shit-faced from six beers?

[–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 22 hours ago

Can AI do balconing?

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 23 hours ago

Don't just limit yourself to Spain though!

Well, yeah, they're kind of trying to use AI to do that, but since our resources are finite, they're not doing a great job. Yeah, they'd rather run out of resources and collapse than replace us. They're completely nuts there lol.
