If you can't see the upside in spending a few months working a highly-paid poo poo job with your buddies then maybe you should have tried using your twenties to travel somewhere other than Azeroth. Fair point, I'm soured from how Busch Gardens used/uses them and kneejerked.

Are you new? Don't applaud me, you're suppose to launch a multi-year posting grudge and squat on offsites plotting to kill my dog.

J1s should work at bars in fun cities and get laid a lot. I ran with the aforementioned Chicago Irish crew and one of the hidden benefits of the program is it let's LGBT guest workers try out life in an openly queer community

Firing random broadsides at passing dogs as you cruise the streets hoping to get the dog that belongs to someone you disagree with on the internet. Sounds like an Upright Citizens Brigade sketch.

Also look like, cleaning is a terrible job. No one deserves to do it, but short-term, with your friends, for much more money than you'd usually make, that might be just about the most humane way to get the job done. If all our society's scutwork was handled in rotation like that we might have a better world.

I see tons of J-1 workers in the summer and they all seem absolutely thrilled to be so far away from home, with spending money, and able to live in a different culture for awhile. Makes me wish I had done something like that when I was young.

Are J-1 visas the reason I see so many Israeli people working those little kiosks at the mall? It's nice because I can just be like "no thanks" in Hebrew and they don't try to press the sale.

I'm actually Israeli too but I've lived in the US since I was a kid so my English is flawless but my Hebrew is slightly accented (although the real dead giveaway to locals is that my Hebrew slang is outdated as gently caress, because 99% of the people I speak the language to are my parents). It'd be like going to China and meeting someone who speaks fluent English but unironically uses words like "groovy" or "far out"  If I'm in a good mood I like to respond creatively, I've gotten laughs from reactions like "you really think even Dead Sea salts will clean up this ugly mug?"

My sister went on a J1 the last two years and had a great time, she worked with my older brother's girlfriend's family each year though so she was lucky she got a nice job in that respect. They are a good idea and a cool way to spend some time in another country for a summer.

As a kid most of the slang I used was goofball 70s lefty stuff because of my dad. I called my kindergarten teacher a "narc" once.

Back when The Great Race Space was created (a sizable chunk of Forums Drama itself), that offsite giddily mined every poster there for things they could attack, with the participation and encouragement of a prominent SA person who also namesearches. At one point they were focusing on a trans poster, and one creep got extremely excited that he had managed to doxx that person's dog and posted photos of it. Only, as the other creeps quickly figured out, it wasn't the right dog. Dog-doxxing is now my shorthand for that kind of behavior, because it is easily the funniest doxxing-related thing that has ever happened.
