And they bought different food too lol. You can buy clean vegetables, proteins and fresh non sugar bread in America. (Not that sliced sugar wonder bread shit). They just apparently chose the junk food (which is wildly available no question about that) when it was put in front of them.

When in a grocery with less of the junk (theres still junk in UK and EU Groceries), they chose better stuff.

Unless they want to make a claim that something like raw broccoli, raw grass fed beef, raw beans are substantially different in the eu. That wasn’t my experience, it’s just more prominent

Like, if you eat processed chips and cookies in America or the EU it’s still junk

You still can. It’s just a different confirmation now

The thing is they see christian values as the default. As the historical, centuries old standard. It can’t possibly be brainwashing to live to the values of your forefathers right?

So they see everything new as suspicious by default. And if it’s new and counter to the historical values they espouse, it’s deviant and “indoctrination” by new, inauthentic standards.

Obviously this is all bogus, but it’s the dance they do.

Edit, phrasing.

I hate Abrahamic origin religious systems en masse, especially when states use them to justify bullshit. Goes for western countries too.

Some folks probably think I’m targeting

So does that align with Mohammad 's second wife?

All religion is just a framework to be shitty.

I’ve seen that term used for folks who go to a place seeking work in a large industry that will just accept all comers in the right season. An expat is sent on appointment, same company, different country, fixed time duration.

Perception is absolutely a thing though, I expect expats or similar wouldn’t describe themselves as migrant workers.

This is all ive ever seen in my career which includes lots of overseas work.

Where there was once Tupperware, and makeup, there is now temu

Sweet I’d say automate the boring stuff is excellent.

My meaning was python plus those things is an awesome world of hobby and professional development, that’s all. Lots of great projects can be even greater with python

Absolutely not. I’m in line with others.

I suggested a basic python book, then listed topics to get into next. They didn’t discount they already work in gis, it acknowledges they said they want to learn how to code and apply it to GIS.

Did not, I’m describing things you can do with gis across the spectrum, ESRI or not, preferably once you have a decent python foundation. Edit I and others are saying “do some non GIS projects in python FIRST, then explore these GIS related things.” Because jumping to scripting in arc pro alone isn’t advised.

Why are you being combative? I’m not hating on them at all. I literally just rattled off common file formats, libraries, and projects to consider. The original comment says they scraped a few things together from tutorials, and I and other comments are discussing how to build a strong foundation, then extend it.

I’ve got no ill will for OP.

Knowing how to script a bit in arc pro does not really mean you know anything about python, or programming for GIS at even a basic professional level. That’s ok, no hate, everyone starts out. Checking out various software, formats and libraries, in addition to getting the python basics down will open a huge world of projects and even work opportunities

Agree, I don’t think I went against that. I certainly didn’t say it’s JUST geojson and web map. That was just a list of keywords. I opened by saying these are more things to get excited about.

If it’s just esri (they said q too), but if it’s just esri, automate the boring stuff + arcpy and you’ll be a happy camper.

Cartographic stuff is super simple in any framework. Data processing and network topology are great things to study that aren’t web map. Remote sensing is the coolest shit and you can literally get free imagery and use free tools to make surface analysis and identification…not as a super raw beginner, but not long after.

Learning about the common open source file formats, storage strategies, and processing libraries is attainable (and desirable) by a beginner who has automate the boring stuff under their belt

Jumping straight into esri and staying there, without getting some general education, is a good way to end up not knowing much about python, and generally developing weaker workflows.and automations, in my professional experience.

Like I said, learn some python basics and good habits, then consider gis.

So did you click a link to go to a source, or, what?

Get the basics locked.in before dipping into GIS.

Edit, because someone misunderstood me… You’ll have an easier time extending your existing GIS work by getting a nice foundation of non GIS python skills.

There’s a lot of odd patterns and domain specific requirements in the spatial data world, not even mentioning the nasty beast that esri is.

Provided you listen to my above advice, here are some other keywords that will help excite the home-gis dev: geopandas, (pandas), geojson, geopackage, QGIS, leaflet (not python but easy to connect a leaflet frontend with a python backend), openstreermaps, map box, earthexplorer (USGS free aerial imagery of lots of imagery types)

If it must be esri based, arcpy is a popular library.

3 is the way.

Have your goals. Feel your feelings. But don’t expect to jump to the other side of the ocean. Set small goals and revel in your daily/weekly wins.

For example, I wanted to eat better and save money, when I was young and had no money. It was harder then, but I tallied up all the fast food money I was spending, and realized if I didnt buy fastfood I could afford more and better groceries including more fresh vegetables and meats. And STILL saved some money.

So I watched my grocery bill and stopped eating fast food, ended up with some extra cash each month, and even lost a few pounds.

This is a small thing, but I felt more in control of my life, and it made me happy.

Modern banking apps have search features to make tallying your spending easy

They offered to pay on the gamble you’d say no and look like the bad guy to your kid.

If you go, arrange for it to be just you and your kid, for YOUR week, then fly home

Checks out, I’ve seen a baby duck there, I don’t think it flew in

I’d say don’t think to much. Get some thin sport material ones and see how you do. If you’re still cold, get thicker ones.

It’s not a waste, you’ll find a time to wear the thin ones
