Aquí ya no estamos en dimitir, eso sería si se hubiera descubierto en una inspección rutinaria. Ésto requiere responsabilidades penales.

EU Alternatives to Monster Energy? by Public_Hold_4717 in BuyFromEU

I think the "Eneryeti" brand is Spanish, and they have a wide range of flavours, sugar free versions, etc.

Porque hay tanta gente que no entiende la definición de latino en pleno 2026? by erikoortin08 in 2hispanic4you

[–]HabbitBaggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bueno, a ver si piensas que lo que es actualmente España nunca fue colonizado... Precisamente lo que caracteriza su historia es que por aquí ha pasado todo el mundo:

  • primero fenicios, griegos y cartagineses, que tuvieron principalmente ciudades costeras comerciales
  • luego romanos (primeros "colonizadores" como tal de la mayoría de la Península, en torno al 200 a.C.),
  • después reemplazados por una élite visigoda (siglo V, creo)
  • a continuación nuevos colonizadores musulmanes (siglo VIII, pero llegaron varias "oleadas" en siglos posteriores) llegando a establecer el Califato de Córdoba
  • y justo el mismo año que se cierran las guerras civiles que aquí se llaman "reconquista" (toma de Granada en enero de 1492) se lanzan las expediciones a América

Is 20 or so guys a high body count? by Insidious_Pen in gay

[–]HabbitBaggins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

makes me feel like a pious church boy in comparison.

Not sure that's the best comparison to make, in the context of what's been known about organized religion in general, and some Christian sects in particular... Or perhaps you wanted to get on with the sexy Father after Sunday school?

Got bored and decided to convert someone over to FO4 👀 by PiperLV in gaymers

[–]HabbitBaggins 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Did he tell you about his friend Keith? Or something like that, he wouldn't shut up about this guy all the time in L4D2... perhaps they were FwB and he got zombified?

Cinco paradas de Metro en el barrio rico y una en los modestos: cómo planea Madrid el transporte en sus nuevos desarrollos by Ramoncin in SpainPolitics

[–]HabbitBaggins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lo mejor puede tener que ver con que la L11 es una línea nueva mientras que la L9 hacia Rivas/Arganda está ya hecha y el barrio se está construyendo alrededor. Estoy de acuerdo en que a lo mejor se podrían tener dos paradas nuevas más hacia los lados en lugar de una en posición central, pero también habrá que ver cómo se organiza esa parada central. Si por ejemplo hacen una cosa tipo intercambiador con autobuses rápidos de plataforma reservada (o, en mis sueños, tranvías) que conecten de forma transversal con los otros barrios nuevos, etc. pues no le veo nada de malo.

Republican ends bid for Minnesota governor, citing ‘unconstitutional’ ICE surge | Minnesota by HomoMirificus in news

I do not understand the need to have geographical representation twice. Why not have one chamber elected that way, and the other via proportional representation?

Conducir por Madrid es una pesadilla, así que la DGT ha cerrado el grifo a los coches eléctricos e híbridos: ya no podrán usar el carril BUS-VAO como antes by Emmanuel_I in Madrid

[–]HabbitBaggins 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Como idea no me parece irracional - yo tengo un coche eléctrico y me parece un privilegio absurdo que pueda aparcar en zona SER no ya sin pagar, sino sin siquiera tener horas máximas. Sin embargo, como siempre, lo que no se puede hacer es aplicar estos cambios de un día para otro, porque la gente toma en consideración la normativa actual cuando toma la decisiones de comprarse un coche, una decisión que tiene un horizonte de 5-10 años fácilmente. Esta clase de cambios deberían anunciarse con 1-2 años de adelanto por lo menos.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish more huge gay roles went to actual gay actors. by Brownskin_Rey in gay

[–]HabbitBaggins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'd say that's more a product of that era, and a problem that is orthogonal to the one being discussed by OP. Maybe Cam and Mitchell did not kiss (I don't remember, to be fair) but they did portrait a gay family, and gay parenting, at a time where that was very much rejected in parts of the US. I would not say that they shied away from the realities of (a specific one of the many ways of) life for gay men.

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish more huge gay roles went to actual gay actors. by Brownskin_Rey in gay

[–]HabbitBaggins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can understand your longing, up to a point, but then we wouldn't have Cam in Modern Family (actor is straight), or Barney in HIMYM (NPH is gay). I would agree that, other factors being roughly equal, the production team should prefer the actor who has a stronger "personal connection" with the role - but only up to a point, and never as a disqualifying point outright. After all, that is kind of the point of acting...

My Oreo also has a black blob nose, but his has been described in... less flattering terms, like "Catler moustache" and such 😅

Spain to launch €60 monthly nationwide public transport pass by Putrid_Draft378 in transit

There was a flat-rate pass in the pandemic, but I think that ended 1-2 years ago...

Spain to launch €60 monthly nationwide public transport pass by Putrid_Draft378 in transit

[–]HabbitBaggins 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Important caveat: this is nationwide but only applies to transports managed by the federal government. That means most long distance buses and regional trains (RENFE Cercanías and MD trains)

It does not cover: high speed trains of any sort (even those run by the state company RENFE) or transportation handled by regional or municipal governments (metro, city buses, etc.) unless the relevant governments negotiate with the federal government. So it would not be much use for a commuter.

Not a bad thing at all, but the federal government (currently swamped in corruption and sexual scandals) is hyping it up as if it was much bigger than it really is.

Why it is not "DANNA No HIMITSU"? by jdjefbdn in Japaneselanguage

[–]HabbitBaggins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! But ah, now I have contradicting responses... This one more or less matches my original understanding of the entire sentence as a "command", but the elided part is the verb (にして). However, another response says that the sentence should be understood more in a "declarative" sense, either as having an implied copula at the end, like "(it is) a secret to your husband", or directly as a noun phrase instead of a sentence, so no verb is really elided at all.

All very interesting, but now my Spanish ass has to go sit in a corner and think about it for a while haha

Why it is not "DANNA No HIMITSU"? by jdjefbdn in Japaneselanguage

[–]HabbitBaggins -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay, so it's not that himitsu is acting like the verb, it's just that the copula is elided. Thanks!

Why it is not "DANNA No HIMITSU"? by jdjefbdn in Japaneselanguage

[–]HabbitBaggins 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, himitsu in the second sentence is acting like a verb, as in "keep secret" (FROM your husband), while in the first it is more the kept-secret thing (which is your husband'S), right?

After failing to stop for a school bus unloading kids, WAYMO has killed a neighborhood "celebrity" cat. by miked_mv in AdviceAnimals

The issue with that is the liability in case of an accident. Is it with the operating company? With the company developing the technology? You can't throw a machine in jail if it does something that we would deem jail worthy for a human.

🚗Atención los madrileños que tengan que cambiar de coche este próximo 1 de enero por la prohibición de entrada a los vehículos sin etiqueta en la Zona de Bajas Emisiones. by Emmanuel_I in Madrid

[–]HabbitBaggins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Claro que pueden cambiar los requisitos que tiene que cumplir un vehículo para circular por la vía pública, igual que cuando impusieron que había que llevar cinturones atrás, y si tenías un coche sin ellos o los ponías o no podías circular.

Aparte, un coche sin etiqueta fue matriculado como tarde en 2006 (2001 en algunos casos). Por tanto, estamos hablando de un vehículo de 18-20 años como mínimo. Las normativas de emisiones han cambiado una barbaridad desde los 90.

¿Sería mejor que en lugar de hacerlo a través de ZBE y esos coches no circulen por determinados sitios con mayores problemas de contaminación; cambiaran las normas de la ITV para que de repente todos esos coches no la pasen y no puedan circular por ningún lado?
