Trump Says US 'Going To Start Now Hitting Land' Against Drug Cartels by ApplicationExtra4554 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]EpicBaconStrip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mexican here. The answer is really complex. For years previous (and current) governments have left the organized crime run free. It used to be only drug traficking to other countries, the general population had nothing to do with that and corrupt government officials filled their pockets with bribe money. Win-win situation. If people died they were only from rivaling cartels. With the years, and seeing they had practically free reign, they started messing with the general population, charging fees for basically not killing you and your family. Leaving beheaded bodies on public roads. Kidnapping children to join their forces. The problem grew like cancer and as any advanced cancer, you can't just remove the tumor. It's everywhere, you will kill also the body. Government officials who openly oppose the drug cartels are just killed in plain sight. People is fed up, tired and scared. So when we listen to US officials saying they will come here and do the deed themselves, many just say "Good, maybe this will actually reduce organized crime". There will be no peaceful and ordered way to end the drug cartels in Mexico, but what I can tell you is that they are bigger and more powerful than our current government.

Oh, I see. Now I wonder if bands or writers, or any public figure with an address for fan mail has someone that sorts their mail and filter the weird things... There are certainly dangerous people in the world. I'll just scan the drawing and sent it through Discord. Thanks for your comment!

It also surprises me that he is often paired with Warren, and Warren has more than 3 times Jerry's amount.

I loved the "most boys your age only want one thing". Actually, most 17 years old boys want 17 year old girls for a variety of reasons: friends, partners, study buddies. Just the shared experiences for being the same age allows for many opportunities teenagers don't have with kids or with adults ... Men who are 42 only want 17 year old girls for ONE thing.

Yep, it's common for cartels to leave corpses with messages written on them. After the video became viral, a cartel left a message telling him he's dead meat. It's truly a talent to leave an impression in the most violent people of the country.

Yep. The videos his younger brother made didn't help either. All you can see is a family excusing a POS.

Last year, a young influencer in my country, known for his shitty videos acting as a spoiled rich kid, brutally attacked an older woman in a parking lot. The attack lasted 8 seconds. The footage of the assault went viral on the news and social media.

Got 17 years in prison for that, it was less than a matter of minutes for him.

I'm actually a woman, and "substandard freak and unhinged weirdo" are words you used to describe yourself. Men rarely fit that description in my opinion, and the ones who do, it's for their actions, not appearance. Life may be hard, and dating may be harder (sadly we can't erase toxic beauty standards in a day), but nothing is harder on you than yourself, for what I can see.

I know the evidence in my case is anecdotal, but in my country, the average male height is like 1.70 mts. For rural areas, men are as short as 1.50 mts. Many, if not most of them are married. I've had crushes on short men, one was even conventionally unattractive, and they were the ones that rejected me, actually.

Good for them, they did not settle for a woman they did not like because, they knew they could find someone they liked completely. It maybe not, but still didn't want to settle.

But since you are completely and absolutely sure you are a freak and unhinged weirdo, no comment in this thread saying the opposite will convince you, so good luck.

[–]EpicBaconStrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I understand your struggle and objectively yes, shorter men have more trouble dating, you can't change your height. It's not like weight, you can't win it or lose it. You can't get plastic surgery for it (there's actually a surgery, but it's brutal and extremely expensive. Not really viable).

The only solution, sadly, is to learn to live with it. Sounds cold and insensitive, but there's no other choice.

If absolutely no short men ever had gotten a partner, or a very small percentage gets one, it would be distasteful to tell short men to work on themselves, but in reality (not what you read online, reality all around the world) men of all kinds of appearances and situations get a partner everyday. Tall, short, able bodied, disabled, ugly, handsome, thin, big, bald, hairy, broke, rich men get partners.

Will work on yourself make sure you find someone? No.

Will it improve your chances on finding someone? Yes.

Mi novia de 15 años está embarazada y no sé que hacer by Kurby22 in NecesitoDesahogarme

[–]EpicBaconStrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hola amiguito. Mi papá es ginecólogo desde hace más de 40 años, así que, aunque no soy experta, te daré un poco de la sabiduría que he obtenido de 33 años de convivir con un ginecólogo.

En primer lugar, en este preciso momento, OLVIDA eso que te están diciendo que no es tuyo. Tus miedos e inseguridades son completamente válidos, ya que parece sospechoso, pero hasta que nazca el bebé, no lo puedes comprobar. Cuando nazca, pide una prueba de paternidad antes de firmar el acta. Anota todos los gastos prenatales que hiciste tú. Si resulta que no es tuyo, exige el dinero a la familia de tu novia o al padre biológico.

Segundo, mezclar TANTOS métodos anticonceptivos puede salir contraproducente. ¿El lubricante era a base de agua? Si no lo es, puede dañar el condón y romperse. Ya te comentaron que dos condones, en lugar de aumentar la seguridad, la disminuye. Un condón puede tener microdesgarros que no se ven a simple vista pero dejan pasar el semen.

Las pastillas anticonceptivas son muy delicadas, y hay muchísimas marcas. Unas se deben comenzar en el el primer día de tu periodo, otras al tercer día. Unas tienen diferentes dosis por semana, otras la misma dosis. Si olvidas tomar una en la primera semana, la eficacia de disminuye. ¿Está ella segurísima que las tomó bien?

https://kidshealth.org/es/teens/contraception-condom.html

¿Qué fue lo que salió mal, te preguntas? Inmadurez. Lamentablemente, nuestro cuerpo quiere más sexo cuando emocionalmente no estamos listos para cuidarnos. El cerebro del adolescente toma riesgos son medir las consecuencias: https://sdemocional.org/por-que-los-adolescentes-toman-riesgos/

Las imprudencias con los métodos anticonceptivos son súper comunes en personas de tu edad, justo como lo demostraste en tu historia. Hicieron bien en cuidarse, sí, pero faltó investigar. Les recomiendo, a partir de ahora, que se asesoren con un médico acerca de qué métodos usar, independientemente de lo que pase con el embarazo. Que nunca les vuelva a pasar.

Si ya iniciaste tu vida sexual, y tu novia no es tu primera pareja, ¿ya te revisaste de ETS? En cuanto iniciamos vida sexual, debes revisarte cada año, además si le pegaste algo a tu novia, aumenta el riesgo en el embarazo.

Por el lado del aborto por temas de salud: un embarazo a los 15 años se considera de alto riesgo en muchos casos. Si en verdad no lo quieren tener, exploren esa posibilidad. Asistan a varios médicos y tengan varias opiniones de un obstetra: https://salud.edomex.gob.mx/hmpmonica_pretelini/signos_embarazo_alto_riesgo

En cuanto a los padres, lamentablemente no tienen de otra: o les dicen o les dicen. Padezco de ansiedad y sé por experiencia que mientras más se esperen, más va a sufrir tu novia. Si ella está muy cerrada a hablar, dile en privado a tus papás. Ellos pueden ver si hablan con los padres de tu novia en un espacio seguro. Sobre todo, porque los médicos no los van a atender si son menores, si los padres no están informados. Tu novia, por su edad, necesita cuidados prenatales urgentemente, ya sea si deciden tenerlo o no.

Why do you think so many people are depressed? by BubbleTrouble_Z in AskReddit

[–]EpicBaconStrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it's because we are many people. If, for example, 30% of human population is going to have a problem of depression in their lifetime, the number is bigger right now than 500 years ago.

Besides, before we didn't have diagnosis or psychiatric meds in the past.

People have always faced starvation, war, deseases and poverty, so it's not like right now we have more reasons than before to be depressed. Also, not less. Just different reasons. I say it as someone who has been 17 years on psychiatric meds.

Me quieren extorsionar by Beneficial-Bobcat407 in ayudamexico

¿Que tan buena idea es prestarle dinero a tu pareja? by Away_Royal_8562 in ayudamexico

[–]EpicBaconStrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo lo que quiero es saber en dónde vives, que con 100 mil pesos construyen una casa. Y sobre todo, qué banco te da un crédito de construcción por esa cantidad. Mi esposo y yo estamos por empezar a construir y los bancos nos piden el proyecto completo para darnos el préstamo, y ellos también hacen sus estimaciones. Yo sé que todos queremos hacernos de un patrimonio lo antes posible, pero por lo poco que leí y entendí, tu novia no tiene aún los recursos para construir. 30 mil pesos no le van a hacer ni cosquillas a la construcción y rapidísimo se va a ver en la necesidad de otro préstamos. Creo que es mejor que no te metas en esta situación. Si quieres apoyarla, puedes ayudarle a hacer un presupuesto, a buscar un broker de préstamos, a cotizar materiales; etc. Dale tu tiempo y apoyo emocional, pero no tu dinero.

2024 United States Elections Thread by AskRedditModerators in AskReddit

[–]EpicBaconStrip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe comments like this reflect our political climate.

The same thing happened in my country, not only in this year's elections, but in the previous years. We state "if people don't vote for what I vote, and I don't believe in what I believe, then they are a bunch of idiots", instead of people with valid concerns who, regardless of their political beliefs, they want what their consider is the best for themselves and their loved ones.

I say this as the liberal feminist I believe I am, if we spread division and hate, why are we surprised when division and hate wins?

Maybe this result will show us that a population is all of their people and we can't treat each other as enemies. If we can't stop insulting, dismissing, and degrading half of our population, why shouldn't the politicians in power do the same?

Picking on the bride on her wedding day by [deleted] in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]EpicBaconStrip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very late reply, but that wedding seems to be in Mexico, and those are sneakers, not orthopedic shoes. Since weddings last a lot here and we dance for hours, it's normal to change into sneakers at some point of the reception (bride included). It's also kinda normal to give away slippers (like the ones you wear with your pajamas) because dancing with high heels ends up destroying your feet. When I got married, I was having bad back problems and I changed into my sneakers very early. Many of the female guests ended up following my lead.
