if I surrounded myself with the right people, I'd become the average of those people.

Hi, I'm a grad student in the USA. I'm working on improving my GRE verbal.
Does anyone have any interesting cultural traditions you want to share? I'm up for a Skype.
If you are planning to take GRE or IELTS, I'm happy to listen and share the study plan.

Watch out for a scammer. ESL students tend to be super friendly. We are open to new people to learn the language, and scammer takes advantage of that.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably a scam.

Hi,
I’m a grad student in USA
My subject is strategic communication.
English is my 2nd language. So I spent my free time on Italki to improve my communication.
I’ve found a lot of bargain teachers on Italki during the pandemic. Some of them were too good for the price so I told them to raise the price and they did. Now I couldn’t afford them anymore😭. Some cut down the schedule to get back to real life I couldn’t fit my time in their slot. So I’m here.
Shout out to anyone If the subjects of your interest are
-curiosity
-human behavior
-psychology
-Product design
-Netflix
-culture
-travel
-yoga
-photography
-academic writing would be nice.
Plus, if you have a deep student discount price will be helpful. My stimulus check is not a lot.
If you offer me a free lesson I promise I will say you name in my speech when I graduate (if there is one)
if you are good worth my kidney I would sell it to afford your class.
I’m nice and kind. I raise my hand before I ask a question. I wear tie and long sleeve to attend your class. Pants is up on request.
Please, Offer/invite me a session. I will see you in your lesson.
Ronnie.

Asian humor vs American humor. Cultural differences in humor perception.
I grew up in Thailand and I've moved to the USA after I finished my BA. I have been living here for 15 years. I have been told by my American friends that I have a different sense of humor. The way I said things, The perspective I looked and laughed at things seem a little different from my American friends. Some people said American jokes are sarcastic, deadpan. Well, a lot of Asian jokes do that as well.
My question is anyone's experience or has anything to share about the subject?
I'm listing the TV shows and Movies that remember I laughed out loud and the list that I didn't
Friends
That's 70s show
Simpson
Balls Fury
Shaolin Soccer (pretty much all Stephen Chow's movies)
Mister Bean
The Good Place. (Pillboi, the Asian guy, Jason's friend is the best part)
A lot of Thai commercials.
No for me
The BigBang Theory.
How I Met Your Mother.
2 and Half Men (some no, some yes)
All Eddy Murphy's movies
Barbershop
There are more but these lists are off the top of my head.
Note: I don't mean to insult your favorite TV shows. I just want to ask for an opinion about what do you think about how cultural and experience differences influence humor perception.
In my opinion, Age also plays a part in our humor perception. Things in 90's that I laughed. Such as joking about Fat, how people look, physical appearance. I don't feel it is that funny anymore(Perhaps experience and education?) When I realize that. I'm kind of question myself, Is it the older you get the less things in life to laugh?
P.S.
1. Any teacher or friend would like to talk about humor perception subject. A show, part of the show, when is funny, when is not, suggest a show, Please invite me to your lesson or add me as a friend. I would love to share my experience more.
2. Please correct my writing, I'm here to learn.
