It was bound to happen. When the pressure became too great, it backfired and had the opposite effect. I mean, I call it pressure, but of course, you can always refuse to tip. I read last year about how tipping culture in America changed. The question “Does everything require a tip?” kept popping up, and I really think all that led to where we are now.
I had no idea either. And I like to think I read as often as I have a chance.
Learn the language as soon as possible, at least basic level. Bureaucracy is going to be hell, there’s no nicer way to put it. But I think you’ll enjoy living in Italy. You are not happy where you are now, so it’s great you’re doing something about it. Best of luck!
Wish I could help with the strategy. I don’t deal with this in any way, I genuinely don’t care if someone likes me or not. I actually don’t think about it.

I use the ChatGPT Google Sheets extension pretty much every day to create tables, charts, and all kinds of lists for various clients and projects. The results are excellent, and it saves me a significant amount of time.
I agree, people don’t really pay attention or bother to read about stuff like How to check if a QR code is safe. Honestly, I’ve been dealing with QR codes for quite a while, and I still occasionally spend time looking things up, reading about quishing, and whatever new scam/term appears.
Just make sure that busy comes with money and that it ends at some point.
Excellent point.
Thank you for sharing this list, it’s awesome! I see a couple of good options for me.
