even with a VPN this damn thing doesn't work, nor the customer service number. Anyone know how I can contact customer service in the US from another country?

in my country amazon functions fine, in the US it looks like a nightmare.

Thanks, so incredibly frustrated.

What I mean is, having rhymes all the local kids know for counting off who is "it"; universal games they all know and play, initiated by them without adults telling them what to do; jokes they pass around that are just kids jokes, traditions, weird kids' fads and so on. Maybe also that there are older kids who guide the younger kids and teach them the games. Kind of having a world apart.

I am curious, because I believe this children's culture may have died out in some places, and recently reflected that where we live (judging from my 7 year old son) this type of childhood is still going strong. I wonder how it's going in other places. Thanks!

Tristemente me lastimé el meniscus por resbalar en estas lluvias. Vivo en Valladolid, y la doctora me dijo que tengo que hacerme una resonancia magnética. Al parecer, eso no hay en Valladolid solo en Mérida, y es super caro de 5 mil para arriba!

Tengo entendido que en el hospital O'Horan hacen la resonancia, y me pregunto si me atenderán aunque no soy mexicana? Creo que es un hospital de Bienestar y en Valla + en QR esos de Bienestar sí me han atendido. Pero no sé como es la situación allá? Alguien sabrá? O otro lugar donde hay estudios mas económicos?

Muchísimas gracias de antemano, ya que no puedo caminar y estoy bastante preocupada

Comparing collecting the World Cup stickers with my daughter in 2010, and now with my youngest son in 2026, it feels like a scam this year!

It seems there are a TON more duplicates this time around and a large proportion of stickers from more obscure (soccerwise) countries ---- going along with the general FIFA scam/ultracapitalist vibe nowadays, I guess.

But we are still collecting them...tradition....geography lessons...I guess there is a silver lining to getting so many Tunisia and Egypt stickers because now my son can find those on a map!

We are in Mexico, is it the same with the stickers sold in your country? Not sure if it's just a local fail.

I am making a small Instagram ad for a kids' sports program where some parents speak only Spanish. I want to run one ad in English and another in Spanish but I am not sure how to target Spanish-speakers in the audience settings. Can anyone help me understand how to do it?

A Google search has been surprisingly not helpful and I don't see any place in the settings to do it. Thanks so much, I really appreciate any help!

Hola a tod@s, con este anuncio de la SEP de terminar las clases 5 semanas antes 🤷🏻‍♀️ estoy buscando cursos de verano y actividades para mi niño de 7 años para que no se aburra y para que yo pueda trabajar algunas horas.

De preferencia que sea con niños simpáticos, con deportes, y no muy caro. Cualquier recomendación, se la agradezco mucho.

Muchas gracias.

I have a meeting tomorrow with a supervisor to ask for something better but I don't know what to ask for! Any part time workers who know?

The scenario:

I've freelanced for several companies for a few years. With most, it's by project, like, create this book chapter or infographic, and we will pay you x amount. So, typical freelancing.

But with one person, really I've become their part time assistant. I'm paid by the hour, have to fill out time sheets, and it's a constant pile of tasks they give me for quick turnaround, from emailing and filling out forms for them, to creating materials, updating websites, investigating products etc..

Since this person is paying me totally as an independent contractor (with the same hourly rate from 2022) they don't take out any taxes, pay any tax, or pay into social security for me like with a normal part time worker. Also I think in my home state, they are supposed to pay a bit of PTO after a certain number of hours worked.

What better situation could I ask for? Thanks!
