Knowing that in other parts of the world, 20 dollars worth of food is gonna be enough to last you days, or knowing that 70 dollars is the cost of a plane ticket, as opposed to a bus ticket. I don't spend money like I used to
Not denying that high prices are a serious issue, everything is expensive as **** here. Just saying it how it is.

Well yeah, I wouldnt be surprised if some of the anti-immigration posters here are exaggerating the danger in their country. The POC board on here is full of people who make it sound like the US is full of cartels and Central American gangs. In actuality, immigrants both legal and illegal commit crime at rates lower than the US-born

I've been having almost daily headaches/pain around the eye for at least a month, but I don't know if I can afford to visit a doctor right now.

Lmao, well we have had an increase in crime from immigrants, which is well documented. I think it's more of an issue that we are welcoming people from another country only for them to turn to crime which is why people are p*ssed off, because we are already flat chat with our own crime problems.

Might be too much caffeine? I remember a couple of years ago I was getting a twitch around my eye and it was due to that.

Possible anxiety issues as well. I don't want to alarm but I always got weird headaches due to it.

Could be that, caffeine can trigger anxiety attacks at times, which two years ago I thought it I was having a heart attack.

Anxiety is partially why I need to take breaks from coffee. If I'm nervous or dealing with a lot of stress, I try to avoid caffeine. Definitely don't drink coffee before a job interview.

You just can't see the truth because of your own political alignment. Everything I said is true and you know it but admitting it would mean conceding that your socialist far-left hero Victorian Gubbermunt is not the puppies and sunshine that you think it is.
