Write down questions about specific things that interest you. Look for online communities about Vietnam, immigration, expats, etc. Once you learn the basics of the language, you can look for a language exchange partner or pen pal to get practice and also learn about their country and culture.
What in particular do you want to learn about? As I said before, a good first step would be identifying where you want to go, because the rest of the steps, opportunities, and challenges will depend heavily on that.
First, try to figure out exactly where you want to move and what options you have for long term residence. Employers will usually sponsor you for work visas if you either have skills that are in high demand, or for seasonal jobs (resorts, hotels, agriculture). Pursuing higher education or doing volunteer work can also get you a visa in some cases.
I definitely recommend learning the local language. Not only will it improve your chances of finding work, but it’s the respectful thing to do if you plan to stay somewhere for an extended period of time. You need to think about where you will live and how you will afford to cover your expenses. Some of the seasonal jobs might offer a living space, but I wouldn’t count on it. You could also try finding remote work and living as an expat before committing to moving.
As for food, keep an open mind and learn to cook. It will help if you don’t like the local food, save you money, and is simply a good skill to know in any case.
Lastly, people usually migrate to places where they have something and someone familiar. I would advise learning about the culture and getting to know people who live in the place you want to move to first so that you aren’t in for a shock.
Explore hobbies and activities. Consistency is the key to getting really good at something, so try things out to discover what you like and working on that regularly, even if it’s a little bit at a time. It will be helpful to have a foundation by the time you’re an adult and will have less free time. Cooking is a useful skill to learn.
Be mindful of what you post and share online and how it can affect you in the future.
Practice saving money and spending responsibly.
Don’t allow anyone to pressure you into things you aren’t comfortable with, especially to try to get them to like you.
It depends on the situation - did the rumor cause serious damage to my close personal relationships, career, etc? Are they willing to take responsibility for lying? Did they spread a rumor because they themselves believed it was true or with the intention of causing me harm? Have they matured as a person and is the apology sincere? I’m a forgiving person so I would most likely accept the apology if it was genuine and not too harmful.
“Are you from Mississippi? ‘Cause you’re the only miss whose piss I’d sippy”
“You must be from Iowa the way you’ve got me making these corny jokes”
“Are you from Georgia? ‘Cause you’re a peach!”
Is the problem that you don’t like the field itself (IT), that you don’t like your school, or you don’t like the way it is taught? Maybe see if there is another professor who teaches the course, or change schools if it’s possible. You can also look research IT bootcamps or certification programs if you don’t want to go the university route, and build a portfolio of projects in your spare time to add to your CV.
Good luck!
It could be because you are switching between WiFi and mobile data or are using a VPN.
Just by knowing something was created by AI makes it repelling to me. That’s not to say it can’t generate interesting material, but I so wish this technology didn’t exist in the first place. But, it’s here to stay, and refusing to adapt to it entirely it may not be in our best interest in the long run. It’s possible I have enjoyed content without knowing it was AI-generated too; it’s not always obvious. Not everything made by humans is good either, although I respect the effort the creators put into it. Luckily there is an extensive catalogue of reputable human-made literature and art to choose from that goes back centuries :)
I like how Lemmy is reminiscent of early Internet forums and how users have a choice to share as little or as much as they want about themselves. Having online status publicly displayed detracts from that experience. We shouldn’t have to justify being offline or simply not wanting to respond right away. The internet is at our fingertips but it doesn’t mean we need to be accessible all the time.
It displays a net score of the number of times you upvoted/downvoted a user beside their username. You can enable that feature under “Settings” in Voyager.
