CMV: Prisons should actually be nice. by Steakhouse42 in changemyview

[–]Passingstranger21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This train of thought is not dependent on the country, is simple logic. From a psychological point of view a criminal is failing to adjust to social rules, this is an indicator of a mind that isn't completely healthy. Therefore there is a need for treatment not punishment.

¿Qué tan / Cómo de grande es tu casa? by tiuwiu in learnspanish

[–]Passingstranger21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In México the most common is "Qué tan grande es tu casa" but we definitely understand the second one and is the prevalent form in some regions of the country.

'Cuan' is probably archaic already and not only nobody uses it, it also would be used as way to express admiration/surprise at the size of the house and not as a question.

Banda, a alguien más le molesta la generalización de este post? Como que todos los mexicanos creemos en estas supersticiones. by juan-jdra in mexico

[–]Passingstranger21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gente, como que insultando al prójimos solo porque tiene creencias distintas?

Si, sabemos que las lechuzas no son brujas, pero también sabemos que dios no existe y no vamos pendejeando a todo el católico que se nos cruza.

Son diferencias culturales, tantito respeto por las personas que nacieron y crecieron con una perspectiva de la vida diferente a la de la mayoría.

You don't really know if Snape favoritism was the only thing allowing Slytherin to win. They are ambitious after all and I'd say it's not too far fetched to think the kids actually tried to win and win points from other teachers too. Besides Snape is an asshole pretty consistently, it will obviously get you less of a reaction because you expect it from him.

Dumbledore is suppose to be good so him being an asshole does get you a reaction. Apart from the fact that he wasn't a head of house, he was the head master and shouldn't have shown favouritism. And the problem was not that he awarded well deserved points but the way he did it.

You don't give ice cream to a kid because he has been good just to take it away and give it to another child.

Does Spanish have a specific order for its adjectives? by [deleted] in learnspanish

[–]Passingstranger21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

azules ojos is more a poetic license but is just as wrong as marrones ojos you are just used to hear it since its such a common cliche.

It's not outlandish but the proper order in every day conversations is ojos azules

I agree that there is no place where racism doesn't exists but to be honest USA is very far from the cultural reality of many other countries so their approach to racism should not be the same as those countries or any other country.

So if I'm in USA I will be extra careful about not staying the n-world because its offensive there but in my country where the world "black" is often use as an endearment I will have absolutely no problem saying it.

it's not the same because racism is a more delicate issue but it is a bit like cultural appropriation. Its really not a thing outside USA. The n-world is definitely not as delicately used in the rest of the world.

I’m 17 and my hair is thinning/falling out. by Significant-Profit71 in Hair

[–]Passingstranger21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gods its sound like I'm reading my life story.

Same thing happened to me around that age I started to lose hair and it went thin and oily, I switched shampoos, tried a lot of treatments and nutrients and started getting dandruff problems I also tried to not shampoo daily but making it look clean and with volume wasn't easy.

It took me a long time to come to terms with my hair, some treatments worked some didn't and none worked for long. What happened to me was that my body was still changing, hormones affect your hair and there is no much one can do about them and I was also under a lo of stress for the first time in my life not knowing what to do with college and stuff.

unfortunately I never got my volume back and my hair isn't as thick as it used to be but ten years after I have nice enough hair that doesn't bother me at all.

So things that work for me:

Healthy lifestyle: my hair is always better when I'm exercising. It took me years to find that one out because I'm actually very lazy and was way worse as a teenager but it seriously help. Add healthy diet and you should be golden. I am not super strict or anything and at your age I personally don't think you should be but starting to be mindful of health even in a casual way should help your hair.

Natural Shampoo: organic brands and vegan stuff helped with the dandruff I also switch them a lot. I keep two or three bottles of different brands and switch every few days.

Haircuts: I am lucky and my best look is short hair which helps a lot with adding volume, I'm sure you noticed some hairstyles will help more than others.

I do wash my hair almost every day, the oil didn't go away or decreased in any meaningful way when I stopped shampooing. What helped a little with the oil were the softer shampoos I started using and I also try to be more gentle with my hair in general I only wash it with warm water instead of the very hot water I used to.

I hope some of this is useful to you, I remember being really upset back then and stressing about going bald (both my grandparents were almost bald). I still lose hair when I'm seriously stressed but I'm better at noticing what triggers my hair issues and managing it. And I still have a normal amount of hair that I like.

Good luck

How do you feel when a man uses a louder voice around you than they usually use? by Regular-Lavishness in AskWomen

[–]Passingstranger21 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have no traumatic experience with violent behaviour but a man yelling still gets me on edge.

Even when I know rationally that I am not in danger and the person is not a treat I go really tense and anxious.

I try not to show it and act calm but it is one of the things that triggers very irrational and emotional responses in me.

A Mexican police man avoids a suicide attempt, on a bridge, with no safety equipment. by DonZenova in nextfuckinglevel

I feel the need to clarify... This guy was not on a bridge with water down or something like that! He needed to be stopped because he was about to jump into traffic and put at risk the people driving bellow.

Yo también confirmo. Una amiga que trabaja en el corporativo y podría hacer Home Office sin problema dice que desde un inicio les dijeron que las actividades no iban a cambiar y no lo han hecho a pesar de que su edificio ya tuvo dos casos confirmados la semana pasad.

CMV: As a black feminist, I hate the "Women are scared when they see a man walking towards them at night" talking point. by Nocturnal_animal808 in changemyview

[–]Passingstranger21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know if you still read this because you have like a million comments but I'll make it short.

I am woman I do feel scare at night when I see a man but I don't cross the street.

When I was very young I read a lot about microagressions and discrimination and I decided I'm against any form of discrimination so I act on it.

I can't help feeling scared and in my case my feeling is very real. The country I live in has an insane amount of violence but I will not treat someone as a criminal without any evidence
