> It reminds me a study about the perception of beauty among students of arts.

Do you know which particular study this was? I would like to read it.


Take a read about "The Euphemism Treadmill"


It's not wrong. Imo the issue isn't the treadmill - that's natural, and will always happen with or without PC police. Unacceptable words existed long before PC police (in the modern sense) existed. Communities have long self moderated acceptable words.

The real debate is about how fast the treadmill moves.


Is there a reason you are living in Tijuana and not... anywhere else in Mexico?

I did a 5 month road trip through Mexico and there are so many cheap beautiful safe spots to live.


How do you know they were safer than my neighborhood in Tijuana? Where were they?


I suppose I can't say that I know with absolutely certainty that they were safer, but we would talk with locals and got a general feel for what places are more or less safe.

One explanation was that the cartel members have families too and keep the cities their families live in free or more free of that sort of trouble.

I would look into place like San Miguel De Allende, Valladolid, Puerto Escondito, Puerta Vallarta and the small villages north of it, Todos Santos, Oaxaca, San Cristobal De Las Casa. Guanajuato.

Have you looked into Costa Rica and Panama?


I haven't really researched anything else thoroughly in South America. I was more thinking of trying to find some place reasonable in the US.

Honestly I am not sure all of those little towns in Mexico you mentioned are really safe.

The issue is Tijuana has the name recognition for the bad reputation. So really people only see that.


Eh, don't bother, some people like the person you replied to just enjoy staying in a hotspot, and it makes no sense.

As someone who is "hispanic" it amazes me that someone would do such a thing when they are constantly in danger, and there are safer places to live, but medical and other cheap entertainment in MX is probably the reason why.

If he has spent two years in Tijuana and hasn't heard of the places you mentioned, or done any true traveling, well, yeah.

They're content. That's what they want. That's all they want.


You are "hispanic"? WTH does that mean in quotation marks?? And how does that make you an expert on where it is safe?

I moved here because it was close to the border and most of the horror stories I heard were farther into Mexico. Also this way I could still visit my father before he passed away and still easily cross to buy things in the US or get US mail etc.

I live in Playas de Tijuana. People here told me it was safe. So far I have not seen any danger.

I have heard of other towns and locations in Mexico and South America.

How TF would you know how much traveling I have done?

Why do you say I am constantly in danger? Where do you think I should live and why?

I put myself out here looking for information and of course I got what I deserved which was just for people to spit in my eye.


This wasn't something your architect discussed with you? They should have, this should be an integral part of how your home is designed and functions.

Best in what way? Efficiency? Comfort? Initial Cost? Maintenance? Air quality?

If you would like a list of resources to dive into this let me know!


1. As absolutely little as possible.

2. Got FU money and was able to do nothing.


How long have you been doing "nothing"? I tried it (sort of) for a year, and found it a little dull.


That's where I'm at. Well not "FU" money, maybe "I would prefer not to" money, job off-shored so I did nothing for a while.

I had this big list of all the things I wanted to do when I stopped working, and in six months, I didn't even start doing one of them. My girlfriend said, "You're still on the computer all day, you might as well get paid for it".

I hate it when my girlfriend is right.


> "You're still on the computer all day, you might as well get paid for it".

I took a year off a while back and pretty much did the same thing. If I ever take that much time off again, I'm going to go someplace that has no internet.


Same - I was doing a bit of contract work on the side when I quit. Did some traveling (briefly) and then ended up making those gigs my job. Haven't even touched my FU/1-year-savings money yet after almost a year...


I spent a year doing nothing and it also drove me crazy, but I think a big component of that was knowing I needed to work againg eventually. If I had FU money I would probably find myself much less paralyzed and fine something I really enjoy doing.


About 12 years I believe.


Do you not feel compelled to do something? There isn't any particular cause you want to work towards? Something political, community oriented, non-profit? I feel like there's so many causes I care about that I would love to organize if I had FU money.


That seems sad. I'd probably just take any job to be able to do this: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlmightyJanitor


You might like the book: At Home: A Short History of Private Life, it talks about just this idea.
