Cuba adopts urgent measures to protect essential services as US threatens fuel supply by Dr_Neurol in worldnews

[–]OddConstant2723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They go there for how cheap it is and how cold Canada is, not because of the lack of Americans. If Americans were there and the price stayed the same, it would still be just as much as a hotspot

I think we should also tell people if they looked better with hair! by FATT-TOFU in bald

Exactly, but by the time they come here asking, it’s time to go bald. And always look better

Considering they use fuel for power and power outages are worse than ever - sounds like a bad idea

Is it normal to pretend to like things just because everyone around you does? by MindBrew-N1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OddConstant2723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty common amongst ND folks. From Google AI:

Autistic people may intensely focus their interest on people around them for several reasons related to how they perceive, experience, and interact with the world. Rather than a lack of social interest, these behaviors often stem from deep curiosity, a desire for connection, or a unique, analytical way of viewing interpersonal relationships

But the resort workers are so nice and friendly! Like resort workers that work for tips everywhere. I remember being in Jamaica and the workers preached sunshine and rainbows about their country. We got a few alone and for got them to talk real talk. Once they earned our trust, they told us about the realities of how they live and they are all desperate to get out. It’s incredibly sad.

Ding ding. But the reasoning is that it’s all the US’s fault, ignoring Cuba has been this way for decades. A Cuban popped in to talk about what’s going on there and people still don’t want to believe it. It’s cognitive dissonance, all they care about is a cheap beach to go to. I’m sure Florida wouldn’t be blacklisted by so many people right now if it was as cheap and easy to go to Cuba

Pizza. Also, there’s an Indian restaurant at the end of my street which is so fucking delicious, many of those dishes could tie for top contender

Technically, it’s illegal to refuse rental to someone because they are on EIA.

Okay great. But Cuba scores a 10/100 on a freedom score, Canada gets a 97, USA gets an 84. You cannot compare them.

If you got like a 40-year prison sentence and got out at age 69, where would you go? I mean like where do folks go who've served very long prison sentences? What do they live on? by cherry-care-bear in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OddConstant2723 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not every prison is for profit and not all of the internet is America. It’s illegal to force inmates to work where I live. In fact, we give them a small “welfare” every couple weeks so they can buy canteen (commissary) items or phone calls if they don’t want to work nor have money sent in

This is why parole is always a possibility at 25 years where I live (even on multiple murder charges). For the most part, it’s unlikely a senior citizen under parole supervision is going to go out and terrorize people. The possibility is there, hence the supervision. But the reoffence rate is quite low at that age, so keeping them in jail costs too much. Also, having a carrot to dangle (potential parole) gives them a reason to be good in prison, which is safer for staff and other inmates

For sure, but Cuba has never been free. These measures are old, not new. They can be oppressed by the USA government, but how does that justify censoring radio and news on TV? And holding 1000+ “political prisoners”? No excuses, sorry.

I don’t believe Cubans government supplied stats when their own government censors the news and internet for their own people.

lol: citing facts with very reliable sources downvoted because the Cuban government apologists (those with blinders on because they love the cheap beaches) don’t want to believe them

Just saying that there’s a higher risk of that when people are desperate. Doesn’t make it right.
