- Comment on how do I stop being a sucker for alcoholic stuff on sale? 6 days ago:
There are more detailed answers here and I don’t have any personal experience to add but just based on your question I would suggest you stop drinking entirely.
It doesn’t sound like you have a good relationship with alcohol. It isn’t something you share with friends or a “hobby” like wine or whiskey tasting. It sounds like something you just do kind of as a habit.
You aren’t an alcoholic… yet. If you could afford beer when it wasn’t on sale would you drink a lot more? If you had free access to infinite beer how much would you drink? It kind of sounds like the answer to those questions might be “A lot” which is bad.
It sounds like alcohol is already having a negative impact on your life. Do you agree with that statement generally? Skipping positive healthy things for a beer is pretty objectively bad.
Honestly just stop now while you can. Just stop buying beer. Even on sale it’s a waste of money. Nothing against you but this does read like a post someone would look back on and say “I was right and I should have stopped while I could.”
You have the freedom to do whatever you want but if you’re asking random internet strangers if you have a drinking problem the answer is almost certainly yes. Not a big problem but why take the chance? Alcohol just isn’t that great.
- Comment on i want to visit the u.s because the person i love lives there, what can i do to get money and get a visa?? 2 months ago:
Hello!
As an American I would strongly recommend against visiting here from Mexico especially if you have never done so before. I have no deep knowledge of the visa system so I can’t help with specifics.
Here is an article about recent detentions of legitimate visa holders.

I read through your post history and I don’t think you are trolling. You apparently represent almost everything being villainized here in the US. A gay Mexican furry is not someone I would recommend interacts with American law enforcement.
As part of entering the US law enforcement will demand to see your social media. They will search your electronics. They will look into your background. American law enforcement and especially our border officers will almost certainly not be friendly to someone like you. If you feel safe visiting the US right now being who you are then you shouldn’t trust your own judgement on this. Talk to you friends about this. Talk to anyone who is telling you it is a bad idea and really listen to them.
Personally I also have concerns about your reason for travel. I can’t believe someone who loves you would encourage this travel. I can’t believe someone living in the US right now would tell you it’s a good place. There are many wonderful, amazing things about the US. There are also terrible things and right now at this moment those bad things are far more important.
I don’t know this person you want to visit. I don’t know you. I’m just a random person on the internet. However, reading some of your posts I would urge caution in this sort of distant relationship. How are your feelings clouding your judgement? Please talk to your friends and if available supportive family about this whole situation. Do not dismiss their concerns if they have any.
Tell him to come visit you or pick a foreign convention to attend together. If he isn’t willing to do that for you then you should be considering what you mean to him.
Please be safe.
