    Anybody have any experience staying in mexico for a while? I'd like to find a job and work and maybe work on staying there more permanently. Anybody familiar with that process? Is it as much a pain in the ass as we make it for people coming into the US? Either way, people do find ways to do...

    New here, started seasonal work recently and would love to travel in the off seasons

    I'm brand new to this community, Reddit sent me here earlier today. At the beginning of the year I quit the job I've been at for the last three years because I hate stagnation and wasn't happy at home. Spent one of the best summers of my life working in Yellowstone and plan on doing seasonal...

    What's your current favorite comedy film?

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395814/ Working Stiffs (1989) gave me so much information on how people that work can really devote themselves to their careers and advance in them to become winners in society. A treasure of independent film. What's your favorite comedy at the moment?

    Sex work at Slab City

    I am considering moving to slab city, and I was wondering if there was anywhere for me to set up a place for sex work, since the police don't come up as often. Would the people of slab city drive me out, or would they be more accepting? I mean no offense, I am just asking before I head up there...

    Hey y’all! Looking for trim or weed work.

    This would be my first time doing it, but I got a heart of gold, a willingness to work, a van to live out of and a beautiful puppy! Just kind of throwing it out there. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Does CBD really work?

    I've heard it relieves things like stress and anxiety, but there's so few studies done on it and so few reliable sources, it's hard to tell. I once vaped CBD oil, but it was a small percentage, and it didn't do shit to help me focus or stay calm at my old retail job. It actually made my...

    What is a good book about knife work?

    You know, I got to thinking, the knife is a fundamental tool. Not only is it a weapon, but it's also a tool. As a matter as fact, I would even argue that it is more of a tool than it is a weapon. Unless we're talking about a Bowie knife that thing's a fuckin weapon, primarily, there's no way...

    Alternatives to AA/ how to make AA work for you

    I've got a lot of problems with aa, but I'd like to make it work for me, just because anywhere you go there are meetings, and sometimes you just gotta yell at a roomful of strangers who understand the terror. I tried therapy, which I think ended up doing more harm than good. Especially...
