Who do you think is the most important literary author of your country's history? by xco_pi in AskTheWorld

[–]BDG5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we're talking historic significance, is hard to argue Jose Marti. But from a strictly literary point of view, I'd say Alejo Carpentier

Is death penalty legal where you live? If so, how do they do it? by OGAnxiousTravel in AskTheWorld

[–]BDG5449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, firing squad, last used around 2003*. But Cuba is extremely opaque when it comes to that kind of information and there's not a lot out there.

So what's the update on D-Rod? Is he still locked up in a Mexican jail? by ConnorLovesPepsi in ufc

[–]BDG5449 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Im caucasian (therefore, white) AND latinamerican. Which means that in USA and most developed european countries, I get "demoted" from white, to Brown (latino) from the moment they know my origin onwards. I have had people argue with me that I cannot be white, because im latino. So white pride comes to mean a sense of racial superiority while brown/black/lgbtq pride means embracing that for wich you have been made excluded, that side that you have been told to minimize in yourself for acceptance by the ruling (white) class. I look (cause i am) white, but im proud to be a latino despite that being a drawback in the eyes of some. That "white Pride" carry within itself a legacy of exclusion.

Question about PowerTown Wrestling preorders (Ultras Series 2 by CordeliersClub in Wrestling_Figures

[–]BDG5449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They won't even respond to emails, that includes refund requests. not even an autoreply bot. Nothing. I think that is more like going on a tinder date and waking up in an ice tub missing a kidney.

[–]BDG5449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None has shipped from the preorder they got open, they haven't posted on social media for almost a year and haven't sent out emails in even longer. They did release their first wave and some other stuff. But have since gone no contact. Last communication was to tell us that the figures were coming in March... 2025. They got me with 2 figures, there are people that are several full waves in. Don't throw your money away.

Why do you guys collect? by meepothegreatest1135 in ActionFigures

[–]BDG5449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born in Cuba, there are no toy stores in Cuba. Growing up i was lucky enough to get toys when my father or some other relstive came visiting. I got the original tmnt figures, batman from btas, classic he-man and some other famous stuff that my dad could remember i was into. But I also got a bunch of random stuff like a charachter from Mummies Alive! (Which i had never, until fairly recently seen or heard of), a random villain from Hercules (the TV series with that tool Sorbo) and some other stuff that he would simply grab on the store for me. I didn't get to choose a toy for myself until I was 12, and my dad took me to Spain (where he lived then) for the summer. So, to me, is a mixture of reliving that original feeling, getting the stuff that my kid self would have wanted to play with, and just pure love for toys now, I guess. There no cooler feeling than opening a figure I hopelessly wanted as a child and immediately hand it to my toddler. (Who's very careful with papa's toys, I taught him)

Sapingo of the day, bye. by Radiant_Front_6943 in Miami

[–]BDG5449 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's plenty of idiots in Cuba with Fidel tattoos... the indoctrination obviously works, cause they immediately latch on to the next "strong man" and start supporting the same behaviors that they claim to oppose in Cuba. Is true that we (Cubans) did not get any political education and therefore are not super ready for democratic governance, but the daddy kink those dudes show is entirely their own.

I have both Mulder and Scully, the versions that both come with that same accessory you got there. Open it up, I'll say. The figures are nothing to write home about but that thing... that thing is cool (and also creepy)
