I think the question by itself can be understood to be innocent enough, but yeah the gf does make it a bad question with that response

Hard disagree, my daughter is 1 year old and she's pretty

Most lead intoxication in boomers comes from leaded gasoline, lead in other presentations is less bio-available

Or be interested in releasing the papers they didn't release when in charge

Have you tried ceramic? I don't know if it makes sense but just a doubt

It's inconsiderate at best to expect people to speak your foreign language and get angry that people don't speak it. That's more of my point.

And even that, after gentrifying an area no longer welcoming non-english speaking people or treating them as second class is worse

Now the good thing with humidity is that refrigeration works wonders, and in Mexico Mini Splits are super cheap, as is electricity

Luckily mexico city is not actually that hot, quite humid though

The kind of american that usually comes to Mexico is very nice, very welcome. Maybe the exceptions are the very loud and self absorbed ones that go to resort locations and act like they're better than everyone there.

As long as people want to integrate and cooperate they are more than welcome.

Now, the sad part is the gentrification that comes with a lot of people moving and outpaying rent vs the locals. Now the average cost of living in Mexico city is about 50% higher than the average salary, and about 100% higher than the median salary. Another very negative thing is that now a lot of locals have to communicate in english because American people will come and not learn spanish over multiple years living here. There are zones where everything is in english now. It's okay speaking english, it's not okay expecting english from everyone.

So a few pointers:

1. Integrate, pay taxes, consume locally
2. Try and move into already gentrified places, avoid displacing more people
3. Push for social policy, increased affordable living spaces, invest in the country where you move into to improve the locals' life

Be friendly, but that's always

Never seen mexico referred as south america before

Man, even then it was clear what it was doing, are they supposed to list every single website you visit that might track you?
