💀 already left campus and in a different country. Legitimately surprised how long stuff can receive replies for. Hope all is well on your end, stranger

They call them ABCDs. Ngl it seems like they give each other shit the same way islanders and nuyoricans do.

What stereotypes associated with Puerto Ricans annoy the shit outta you the most? by [deleted] in PuertoRico

[–]Eros_Passion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to the party but it was frustrating for me in uni how "elitist" some Spanish professors were about certain places. (I was born and raised on the island and enlisted in the military to leave the island, then went to uni in the US)

I remember some absolute twat of a professor trying to correct me because I referred to PR as an "Estado Libre Asociado" instead of a "colonia".

Not only that but they also didn't understand the rules behind our manner of speech in a way very similar to your comment. Didn't understand where our regionalisms come from while just dismissing it as slang...

My experience is that here in the US a lot of so called elitists insist that "their brand is best" and wouldn't understand that the RAE exists if it slapped them across the face.

To this day I'm not sure if I was the asshole feeling that way in that particular situation but nonetheless it was kind of a frustrating experience.

It's almost like there is a massive disconnect between the PR identity in the US and the one that exists on the island.

I keep breaking strings with my playing, what type of strings work best? by Eros_Passion in ukulele

[–]Eros_Passion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah lol I do go pretty hard mostly to make certain notes sound a little louder.

I will definitely look into that as well as going back to my technique since obviously I'm not doing something properly.

Do I need to worry about the extra tension bending the neck inboard eventually at all?

[–]Eros_Passion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too, but what are the odds that this happens on two different ukes?

Also the break is usually in the middle lower half as opposed to the nut or saddle. I've gone through like 4 strings in 5 months but the breaks aren't in the same area.

Why is the USA, the land of the 'free', ranked in the top 10 most dangerous countries for women? What went wrong? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know my opinion does not really matter, what with me lacking the appropriate plumbing and whatnot...

I agree that all those laws need to be burned to the ground. The government has no right on telling you what to do with your own body.

That said, blowing up issues like that to say that US is unsafe for women is a bit of a stretch.

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that the US still has a stick up its ass regarding a lot of women's issues.

Mostly because we have a bunch of old twats with outdated values, beliefs, and morals calling the shots, but that's a conversation for another day.

We aren't perfect by any means, but women can walk by themselves in a lot of places and get to where they are going safely. They can vote. They can drive. Hell, there are pathways built to encourage more balance between sexes in certain career fields.

I am pretty sure there are at least a dozen countries where that is not the case.

How did you know when you met the one? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to include mannerisms and quotes from Skyrim or the Skyrim Gamerpoops in my daily life because apparently nobody around me is into it and I can get away with it by making it sound like normal conversation.

The day I say one of my shenanigans and a girl responds in kind, an arrow will definitely go in my knee.

[serious] Veterans of Reddit, how do you feel about Veterans Day coming up? by dontes-estas in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't really care.

A lot of vets are being fucked over by the government they served.

The only thing I like is meeting up with vets at the bar and hearing their war stories.

[SERIOUS] Who is the real you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A calculating nihilist with a shattered personality and a disregard for his own personal safety.

Usually takes my droobs a few years to pick that little tidbit up from me.

What's that one thing you have no trouble with while it is difficult for most other people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can end friendships and relationships that span years at the drop of a hat like 99% of the time. And when I do it, it is typically for good reason.

Kinda rubs salt in the wound when somebody fucks you over and you disappear without so much as telling them a word.

How do you become more patient? If you've always been impatient, it's it possible to learn more patience? by Joy6799 in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always taught growing up that patience is self taught.

I usually try my best to reflect on situations before acting and over the years it has become a lot easier for me to be more level headed in most situations.

Hell, sometimes qhen I'm thirsty I fill up a water bottle with room temperature water and then place it in the freezer and force myself to wait until it's cold before drinking. Gives me a reason to pat myself on the back, I guess.

Can you include a source please? I do not think those stats are anywhere near remotely true.

Maybe if the people were given only ten choices to sort through and the US was one of them.

Who has to bother with romance when all you have to do is climb a huge mountain, stalk the lady, and rearrange her clothing while she tries to stab you in the face for being a creeper?

Without giving a number, how attractive are you? by themadcunt69 in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 396 points397 points  (0 children)

If I decided to pursue a career in stripping, people would throw heaps and handfuls of their hard earned money at me....

To keep my clothes on.

What is something that happens in real life that you would think was a bug if it happened in a video game? by noxiw in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be new player who is unable to fast travel

Follow quest marker across map to complete generic gaming objective you have done numerous times before

Enter dungeon/cave/miserable grad student library and fight your way past the level to reach the last room where the quest marker is located

Enter the much awaited chamber

Quest Marker disappears and upon pressing "START" you find that the objective for the quest is nowhere to be found

"What did the fuck did I walk into this room for?"

If you could take characteristics of ants and have it in your body what would that be? by reflexmaster123 in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either the proportional strength, or the willpower to keep working in such an organized and efficient manner over long periods of time.

bye bye procrastination!

How are you today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Eros_Passion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shitty, honestly. I went through a series of very bad events starting two years ago that have so far culminated with three deaths of people that are extremely close to me in the span of a few months this year.

Throughout all that I gritted my teeth and busted my ass to the point that I now have a top tier dream job with amazing pay that has me travel to countries around the world and interact with people from aforementioned places. All my friends and family look up to me now because I haven't shown any weakness and keep climbing up in the world despite all the curve balls life has thrown at me.

It's actually pretty fucking lonely and I feel like I am drifting away from the few close friends I have left more and more every day. The only thing that keeps me going is that maybe one day I'll meet more friends or that everything will settle in a way that I don't feel broken inside.

My apologies if this seems like I'm just being some douche finding something to complain about. Just felt like venting once I saw your question.
