  • I’m half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.

    I understand the hardship

    Random people do not think my father is my father.

    I’ve been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.

    Edit: It’s also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.



  • I’m a white hotel towel Mexican

    Always thought it was strange to mark “White, Hispanic” on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don’t you.

    If you didn’t know my last name you’d never guess I wasn’t “American”



  • I remember watching a show called deadliest warrior. They had a Spartan on it. Their shield would fuck everyone up.

    Unless you’re using a two handed weapon having a defensive weapon on your non dominant hand was extremely powerful

    If I remember right the shield was a better weapon than their sword.

    Sure going against a weapon designed to beat a shield is a different scenario

    Two Spartans, one with a shield other with a sword. I’d put my money on the Spartan with the shield.

    The swordman has to get a clean strike or they are just going to get bashed to death








  • Minimum wage shouldn’t have to exist

    If everyone had a universal basic income then people wouldn’t be forced to take a job that doesn’t pay them what they feel like they deserve.

    Let the market set the price

    If I am willing to do a job for $10 dollars to make extra cash, I should be able to.

    If no one is willing to do the job for $10, the company will have to offer more.

    Minimum wage is a bandage to a problem of capitalism. Wound being poor people suffering without “minimum”. If you make sure everyone has the “minimum” you fix the problem and don’t need the bandage.

    Capitalism doesn’t take into account people have basic needs. It assumes everyone is like a robot waiting for the perfect job to pop up.





  • You’re assuming people who are forced to buy into the suburban hell have a choice.

    If a person had a choice between a 100k house in a suburban hell or a 100k house in secluded heaven. That they pick the suburban hell.

    Have you seen the housing market in the US?

    It’s also funny how “Suburban” meaning has changed. It’s supposed to be non-urban.

    But with these “suburban” neighborhoods in cities. It has basically became a word for a neighborhood with houses built next to each other and less about where it’s located.

    Suburbs use to be an inexpensive option as opposed to urban living.



  • I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.

    Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.

    I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.

    I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.
