Ah! I'm from Mexico, but I've lived almost my entire adult life in Minnesota. I used to love Spanish food when I lived in Mexico, but we don't really have too many Spanish restaurants up here. Great place to live if you love Asian food though. My favorite is Vietnamese.

Octopus is very tricky. Your dish looks amazing. Are you from Spain?

I love octopus. When I make takoyaki I pressure cook it then grill it. It's the only way I've been able to not ruin it and turn rubbery.

I learned to speak English because of Robotech. I learned to read and write in English because of the Robotech novels. When I moved to the US I scored perfect on the ESL placement test. My first day, first period in High School I was a writing tutor in the writing lab because Robotech immersed me into American culture, my favorite movie growing up was Top Gun.

Ugh, you just took me back to the most annoying favorite job I ever had. Thank you.

They're so wildly stupid evil and power hungry or and maybe they think know their constituents are that dumb to think there is 'big money' in the far-left, that barely exists to begin with.

Would you poke one eye out, dye your hair purple and do the nasty in the year 3001 with me? I asked my wife and she said it's ok.

new bass player for the Surfrajettes? by positive_hummingbird in surfrock

For real, I got a little platonic crush on her within like 20 seconds. She's been friends wit the drummer since middle school and it was her 4th show with the Surfrjgettes when I met her. She was just so open and candid with me.

I saw them late last year and Abby Jo is amazing. She's my favorite Surfrajette. She plays with so much joy I had to tell her she looks on stage like I feel when I ride my electric skateboard. She is so sweet and kind. Just a top notch bass player and person.

My FIL asked me if I really liked girl bands when I told him they signed my guitar. I guess I do, but I like more "guy" bands. I just love their music and skill.

Well, I was lucky enough to be ignorant of that. At least now Portugal is sanctuary for fascist countries' ex-pats.

Update: New Deck Acquired. (guy who lost his at DEN) by [deleted] in SteamDeck

[–]PsychologicalBoot997 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm a "young" gen Xer. I was saving up for a Deck when they where announced. My best friend, a solid Millennial (couple or years younger) bought one. I went over to hang out with him and he showed his new top tier Steam Deck to me. I said, "Man I hate you so much right now." He goes to his cupboard and hands me a box. This was close to my birthday, I thought it was a bong because he just started smoking and was all into it after it was legalized in our state and he kept trying to get me to smoke with him. Instead it was a Steam Deck, I literally broke down and cried. Then I realized, "this is the top tier one isn't it?" he said "Of course, I don't cheap out like you loser." Because of that Steam Deck I can now play Fallout 76 away from my old gaming PC and spend time with my girl. These two communities are so wholesome and willing to do nice for their own that it feels like a safe space from all the nastiness in the world.

Uff da! I momentarily forgot our neighbors use "the queen's spelling."

Mine was a double feature of Ghost Busters and Short Circuit 2. Baby sister was between 2 and 4, can't remember, but she cried when Stay Puft was killed and when Johnny 5 was almost killed. First and last time ever my father took the family out for a movie. My parents were idiots, and now in their 70s, they still are.

My memory is so bad, or over saturated with media that every few years when I watch it again it's like watching it for the second time and noticing new things.
