  • 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








  • You can’t cheat sound placement

    If you want the T-rex to roar to the back left of you and then run around and roar to the very right of you. You need two speakers placed exactly in those spots.

    With just a sound bar under the TV the roar is always going to be in front of you

    Does a sound bar ruin the Jurassic Park movie? Of course not.

    But 7.1 gives you front middle, front left, front right, middle left, middle right, back right, and back left.

    12.1 goes a step further with ceiling speakers for each speaker creating more atmosphere

    If you want good full sound then a sound bar is fine. And most people would be really happy with that.

    But if you want directional surround sound you have to place speakers in locations where the noise needs to come from. No other way around that.




  • 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.
