As soon as I get vaccinated, I'm moving in with my Colombian lady and investing in a clothing shop she will be managing while I continue working on my ventures as a digital nomad.

I'm excited for this next step. I've lived in Mexico and Finland, but it's been 5 years since I lived abroad.

Anybody her been in that region?

Thanks! I'm really amped! Since I'll be working with Startlink as a regional costumer advisor I'm pretty much set with high speed internet. For sure excited and to be working with a SpaceX subsidiary abroad is a dream come true.

I'm gonna be working with Startlink like I mentioned in my second post. Plus I'll be doing some networking for some Finnish and Estonian startups for some extra income.

Going to focus on building up those areas and help my girl set up her clothing shop. She's going to focus on sexy pop-culture and geeky apparel to produce and export nationally in Colombia and neighboring countries

What's a regional costumer advisor

Gonna help them set up shop, basically manage a group of operators and technical advisors as Startlink expands in that region.

It actually is. Crime has subsided in the last decades and its way below the level you get from most American cities.

They are a gift to behold. My lady comes from a somewhat religious household but she's confided in me that's she's bi curious and would like to have adventures with other women someday.

I'm not complaining. Like at all.

Indeed, they are striving to outgrow his legacy like Germany did with Hitler. They are a nice people that deserve a chance to prove themselves

They don't have to prove anything to anyone.

True but I guess its also how some Italians view the mob movies and the association to crime.. for some enough time has gone by and for others the assumption still exists

Italian mafia is much more romanticized than Latin American drug lords. Their stigma isn't as harsh.

Fer sure, you look at all the mob stuff there's still some relation to values of respect and some notion of calvalry there - having people think you're peddling or are a source of cocaine and running with only one basic association of the country (Pablo/cocaine) definitely sucks to live through

It's incredibly helpful to know that other races go through some form of pop culture stereotyping because it can allow people who have no experience of that see stereotyping how subtle and easy some stereotyping can be formed and accepted - that's my bread and butter at least when talking to people in regards to immigration and opening up heated conversations about race

the bias is real.

when people talk about all the stuff the Vikings did, even the particularly sadistic executions (like the blood eagle) people in general tend to go like thats badass! Or these dudes sure were warriors!

but when people talk about what South American cultures did and their ceremonial sacrifices people go like they were savages.

so if a Viking cuts a persons back to pull out the lungs between the ribs so they inflate and deflate out of the victims body like wings (therefore, blood eagle) its badass , but if an Inca or whatever sacrifices another guy to their sun-god its a savage thing... its obviously a cultural bias, and that has carried on to our days.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Incas, Mayans and Aztecas had wonderful engineering as well as astronomical might, but they keep getting shown as dumb violent potatoes in our pop culture
