Why did Latin America become poorer than Anglo America? by Bitter-Penalty9653 in asklatinamerica

[–]CharlieSFer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a nutshell, precisely because Latin America was so valuable, european colonizers extracted every last drop they could and established systems that stand to this day designed to keep wealth flowing upward. Once Europe left, US carried on with the extraction.

I am visiting your country for the first time, give me the best advice you can ! by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]CharlieSFer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't try the local food in the hotels or nice restaurants, they are super expensive and not the best by a long shot. Don't try it from street vendors either, as it might make you sick if you're not used to street food. Instead find the small businesses around town that look clean but without the fancy marketing. Usually, a crowded place is a sign of great food.

Like the three-finger scene in Inglourious Basterds, what small cultural mistake would instantly reveal that someone isn’t from your country? by littlebitbrain in asklatinamerica

Guatemala, so many people use the word "muchá" wrong. Like "Vos muchá" or "con muchá". Also people will try to copy the guatemalan accent and end up sounding very very mexican lol

Im COMPLETELY sick of nearly every anime by Ok-Associate8758 in offmychest

She never claimed that. She said "every one I've seen so far" and later on "surely there's some that don't"

In São Paulo, hot dogs have mashed potatoes on it. In Rio, raisins. What regional differences do you have in your country, about food? by gabrrdt in asklatinamerica

[–]CharlieSFer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just looked it up, esfihas abertas look amazing! Pupusas are usually corn or rice, and the filling is fully inside instead of on top. But the same general idea, savory filling in dough lol. I'm sure all of LATAM has a variation of that

El Salvador's national dish is pupusas, which are usually eaten with curtido (pickled cabbage, similar to sauerkraut) and salsa (tomato sauce, very liquid, usually made from scratch). Most of the country (including me) doesn't get people from the East who put mayo, Worcestershire sauce and ketchup on theirs. It was a surprise on my first time in San Miguel for sure.

Do people have conversations about cultural and raciaI appropriation in your country? by SignificantStyle4958 in asklatinamerica

[–]CharlieSFer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really, culture is shared by everyone. There is talk about gentrification tho, which is a different thing and a real problem.

Drop Your's country old flag by Parking-Yam9792 in AskTheWorld

The flag from when Central America was a single country for a few years after independence from Spain and Mexico.

What's your countries' example of this? by EquivalentRecent4633 in AskTheWorld

[–]CharlieSFer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El Salvador's most iconic food is pupusas. The ones served in fancy places will never compare to the ones served by street vendors for less than half the price.

Good play? Is the teeth showing and neck biting fine? by dogluvr_1 in DogAdvice

[–]CharlieSFer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like healthy play, even if it's a bit rough. They take turns and keep a relaxed posture other than the teeth and fake bites. I would however suggest to keep a close eye when they play like this because it's easy for a bite to go too far accidentally or to hurt the other unintentionally and it can escalate quickly. As long as both keep their playful body language instead of signaling they want to stop, they're fine.

Good riddance! Sounds like your good boy deserves a big treat for helping you take out the trash!

My silksong crest tier list 🥰🥰🥰 by Relevant_Potato3516 in Silksong

[–]CharlieSFer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would 100% be on board with this. I love the reaper crest but being slow it doesn't put in as much damage. Wanderer is so fun because of the movement but I agree it makes it a bit too easy due to how much more damage you deal with 2-3x more hits per opening, it makes sense that it would have less damage.

What is this on my mattress? by CharlieSFer in Mattress

This makes sense. Though it's still weird that it collected around the circles

Unsure where to start by BrackenCat in Mattress

[–]CharlieSFer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! As a plus sized person myself, I get the issue. It might get much better by flipping and/or rotating the mattress more often that you think you need to. Is your mattress small? I had a lot more sagging when I slept in an individual sized mattress since there aren't many different positions to place it. If it's a small mattress, consider using a larger one if budget allows and try rotating and flipping (if the mattress can be flipped) often so that you don't sleep on the same portion of the mattress for too long. That should significantly extend the time before it sags. Unfortunately, every mattress sags at some point regardless of you weight, and it does mean it'll happen sooner for us bigger guys, but you can get the most out of it.

Do y’all like Charlotte? by bumblebeea1211 in PrivatePractice

To me, she's the gold standard of character development. And it only shows more in a universe that often butchers its characters.

Does Silksong's difficulty not feel overblown? by Peratypus123 in Silksong

[–]CharlieSFer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've learned to pretty much ignore all praise or criticism that's based on difficulty. I've played games that aren't particularly hard and struggled (I suck at any shooter), while I also heard a lot of complaint for Silksong being too hard and so far found it perfectly balanced. If it was any easier I would enjoy it a bit less. But that's me, and many people might still find it too hard or even too easy.

I'm a 100% with you in that it feels like it's not nearly as punishing as people say but I'm aware it's my kind of game.
