I just tested and it works great! 😃

I had tried it while logged out and didn't have the problem, so I thought it was a problem specific to my account and accepted having a limit. Thank you so much for everything you do!

    Cis male here - you ever play the game celeste? Shit's so lit. Def worth sticking around at least another week to experience. It meant a lot to me and I'm not even the target audience

    Sending love to you from a stranger across the globe

    Vorrei dire 'Ciao'!

    Sto provando a imparare italiano, ma so che ci sono molto non lo so. Spero che non ti dispiaccia se provo a parlare italiano

    Vorrei leggere libri per bambini e ragazzi per migliorare. Quali libri come questi ti piacciono?

    Come ti sentono delle persone degli stati uniti? Ho applicato per cittadinanza jure sanguinis, ma ho paura che persone lì non si piacerò. Come ti senti di jure sanguinis, generalmente? (actually I just saw that you already answered this when Fondots asked it, scusami)

    Sai qualcosa di scalata in Italia? O delle rocce lì? Vivi in Piemonte, sì? Penso a Finale Ligure - la conosci?

    (annnnd because I'm certain I made mistakes, in english)

    spoilerI just want to say 'Hi'!

    I'm trying to learn Italian, but I know there's a lot I don't know. I hope you won't mind if I try to speak it :) I'm still a beginner

    I would like to read children's books to improve my speaking. Which ones do you like? (Which ones did you like when you were a kid / for your kids?)

    How do you feel about americans? I applied for citizenship via jure sanguinis, but I'm afraid that people there won't like me. How do you feel about jure sanguinis, in general? (and my apologies if you don't like it or us. I get it)

    Do you know anything about rock climbing in Italy? Or the rocks there? I think of Finale Liguria for that - are you familiar with it? Since you live in Piedmont?

    Oh and in bocca al lupo per la tua gara! Grazie per il tuo tempo :)

    Hey again, I recognize you! Hey, I met a gal recently who shared a lot of her life story with me, and it was eerie how much it rhymed with what I've seen you say about yourself. Her parents were from Hong Kong, she went through a lot growing up, had a really rough relationship with her parents, especially her mom.

    I don't think I have a cogent point to make here, but I wanted to say I thought of you while she was telling me about it. It was a story I think you would have liked to be there for. I think you two would have related on a lot of stuff

    You write it very well!

    I admit I'm not familiar with this world of teaching, but it seems like getting TEFL certified is a requirement for some places. I looked a bit at postings online, and from a quick glance it seems most of the UK postings require the CELTA certification? And the cost of this could be a deterrent for you

    There's this posting which doesn't require any certification, but this review of the company had a specific complaint at the end that would scare me away, personally.

    Here's someone from Russia last year asking for advice. The commenters there suggest Vietnam, and I've seen elsewhere that east Asian countries have more demand. I have no idea if that would appeal to you - could you imagine yourself living there? This person has a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field, so their path may be different than yours. Still, the non-native speaker wiki mentioned there could be a good read for you

    I haven't looked at the possibility of teaching russian, but I imagine you would also do well at that if the demand is there

    If you're serious about wanting out, the folks on the subreddit IWantOut will have better advice than mine 😅

    For what it's worth, I've struggled to get on a solid path too, and it always bothered me when people would give advice that sounded nice but was realistically never viable. I apologize if I'm doing the same now. I'm sorry your situation is so hard. You don't deserve to cry when your only crimes were the circumstances of your birth. I'm glad you come here to vent, and I hope you continue to do so as long as it continues to help. Be well <3

    You speak english fluently, and I assume you speak russian as well. That's an impressive skill to me! What about getting a TEFL certificate? I've known a few people who did that while living nomadically in vans. Is that viable for russian citizens?

    I appreciate your presence on this website a lot and that's a genuine sentiment. Most of your other posts are pretty bleak (and I appreciate them too) but this one got a good giggle out of me xD "Why" lol
