I have Canadian and Mexican citizenship. I met a woman online a few years ago and we've met up each other a few times. And were thinking about seeing what it's like living together to see if were compatible.
Im 30Yo M. I can operate some fork machines. I did some welding training but I have nearly no real experience.
In English I think "swag" is now outdated and "rizz" would have to be learned.
Everyone just runs to Google translate and says "oh it means to hesitate."
Im not believing that. Then how do you say "he hesitated to walk in when he saw me"?
For every latin american who says "yes we understand each other fairly well" there's another one saying "no no no spanish and Portuguese are not mutually intelligible at all". Im asking about proper Portuguese and proper Spanish. No portuñol.
In order.
Including foreign languages, L2, and languages that people admire even if they dont speak it.

Situation happened to me today. I'm the orange line. I was riding my bike at full speed because I was on my way to work(im the orange line) with a possibility to be late. My bad I guess.
It happened so fast. The yellow and red dots are the colors of the stop light at that point in my perspective at that point.
Anyways this lady(blue) immediately starts crossing the exact moment the light turned red for me. She didnt wait for her pedestrian light stop light to switch. Because there is a 2-3 second delay. She just immediately started walking. When she started walking the pedestrian lights were very much still red for her.
I see she starts walking so I switch to the car lane. We had a super near miss. I felt her hoodie laces on my hand.
I had my lights on and I had a high vis shirt.
Companies in science fiction and in real life do so.
In wall-E the company was all about how they are "cleaning the planet" but they actually didnt care at all. The autopilot did everything possible to prevent the humans from going back to earth to help.
In my company they are also like that but they dont care at all about it. When they decided to replace the plastic cutlery with wooden cutlery, it was to show care with the environment. But the company could not care less. They made us dump the old plastic cutlery away, even though it was still usable.
I have been learning Languages for a while and I never ever heard of it before. Now suddenly everyone is talking about it.
I have met this woman online in late 2022. She is colombian living in USA since late 2022, but as of now she's overtaying her visa. For all of 2023 we were in a relationship. We met in person twice in 2023. I was born in 96(30yo now) She was born in 92(33yo now)
In 2024 and 2025 we didnt really talk much, mostly because we just came to the conclusion that we cant really be together.
But now in 2026 we decided that maybe I could sponsor her to come to Canada.
