I have a Mexican passport and an American passport.
Passports in America are a privilege, not a right. It’s like a drivers license. If you owe child support, owe taxes or have a warrant for your arrest. Your passport gets canceled or you can’t get issued one.

I recently bought the book the subtle art of not giving a F*ck,
So far it’s a great book, and I wanted to read it at school.
I bring it into class and start reading, and my English teacher takes my book, and goes to the principal’s office to see if it’s allowed.
He comes back and it’s not allowed, so I put it away.
I go home, and I put tape over the F*ck part of it, and bring it to class again, this time, I finished math test, and my math teacher tells me to read a book.
I tell her my book isn’t allowed and I show it to her, and she asked me to take off the tape, she saw the word and shrugged her shoulders.
At this point, the class is beginning to notice, and a girl shouts out
“My dad has that book!”
That’s nice.
Yep, I agree, I found it a bit dumb, but, I can’t worry about that when it would just waste brain power.I don't understand the concept of "books that are allowed and disallowed" for schools. Aren't we supposed to be teaching the next generation something useful ... like critical thinking?
I can see how "Not giving a duck" for a school isn't a good message, you should care about your school, but to disallow it by a principal, who probably never read it... abuse of some little person power IMO.
I might get the power of now..I read it a while back, I think on one of my work trips with a long flight. It was OK, but I much prefer the works of Elkhart Tolle. Maybe this book is easier to digest than The Power of Now.
Is it as good as people hype it up to be? It's been on my reading list for eons, but I never really bought the hype around it. I also don't typically buy books that are labelled NYT best sellers, so I'm hesitant.I recently bought the book the subtle art of not giving a F*ck,

I’m only on page 50; but so far, I think it’s a nice book.Is it as good as people hype it up to be? It's been on my reading list for eons, but I never really bought the hype around it. I also don't typically buy books that are labelled NYT best sellers, so I'm hesitant.
I thought about the same thing, but I shouldn’t give a duck about something that frankly, in the long run won’t matter.What's so offensive about the book other than the F word in the title?
I wasn't really looking but only noticed Samsung S22 was about 30% off. Tried adding it to my plan with Telstra first online via chat (15 mins between msgs), then phone, then called a store, then left a msg, then wasn't allowed to make an appointment. So I guess they didn't want my money lolAnyone buy anything this Black Friday?
I have an urge to consume and I’m a little disappointed
10% off a new MacBook Pro is about the only thing that’s tempting and how boring is that as computer basically the same as the one I have already
This company has to be one of the worst around. They also have a problem called "ghosting" where it malfunctions and just keeps going forward with no one on it till it hits something (or someone).These things are popular in my neighborhood...
However I wonder if the deaths are due to the device.
I can't recall ever seeing a rider on one of these who wasn't simultaneously scrolling on his phone while navigating street traffic. It's another feather in the cap of my belief that humanity won't survive the next 50 years.

Which came out to about 11 grand.
Who can blow this kind of money on polyester clothing? I’d be willing to spend 200ish on cotton, maybe a little more but seriously!?!
Has anyone ever done a "No Contact" scenario with your family and did your own thing?
Raises hand.
Since my name has been mentioned, maybe i should offer some input.Did you ever feel like your family never supported you, but yet you supported them? Was your family full of drama over past events and never looked forward or have gotten over it? Was your real father never around, even if he tries, he disappoints you. Or is your mother focusing only on one child and not the rest of the siblings? Were you the "Self-Sufficient" style of person that you learned at an early age that you had to take care of yourself or learn everything on your own?
I basically told off my father about the abandonment I felt and thanked him for giving me life, spoke with him last night he told me that he doesn't believe that I take risks, yet he doesn't fully know me. And my mother is still in this deep state of emotion at the loss of the youngest sibling of our family going to prison, it's been 5 years now since the event happened.
I don't blame anyone for what has happened, I know my family is going through issues. But I have felt isolated and that no one wants to get to know me. So I ask why am I here close to home?
Greg mentioned something that sounds logical to me that I have an unfulfilled need for belonging and family.
What was the line in the sand or deciding factor for you to go no contact and do your own thing? As in enough is enough, my personal happiness matters, I'm going to go my way.
My sister told me over the phone the other day how I was an unwanted child because I was my father's and not my step dads old story. She had a miscarriage that day and got tipsy... gotta love it.
Too much drama, if you ask me.
