I see what you mean now.

I thought you were mainly concerned about shipping things from the US, which neither I nor anyone I've known has had intercepted or interfered with en route to dozens of countries, frequently containing valuables. It must happen, but it seems very rare.

The other way though, if you're sending packages to the US from other countries, you could have that problem occasionally, which I have experienced twice and heard of from other travelers shipping things to the US.

As far as I know, that's a one-way problem, US-tagged packages seem to slip through sticky fingers.

I make my own DIY huaraches like this:

extremely comfortable, you can make it with any old slipper lying around and some paracord, lasts for 6 months to a year, depending on the quality of the sandal base.

adjust it to exactly your size that fits perfectly and then you can sew the knots so that all the dimensions stay the same.

takes me maybe 5 minutes to make each pair, and then 5 minutes for the sewing of the knots so I never have to readjust them, costs nearly nothing.

every story I've heard about them sounds like yours.

his post is factually incorrect, of course.

"homeless" is a term used to describe someone who does not live inside a domicile, 40-60% of all homeless people have and hold down jobs.

if you want to go back, then going back to college is a good move and a good investment.

Lemmy is a much nicer environment overall, so i moved here

wow that is crazy, your dad's actions were crazy I mean, I'm glad to hear you came out to him and severed that tie.
