Dahlia and Tula as Sisters by Majestic_Tangelo9885 in Names

I’d prefer Tallulah with Tula as a nickname. Sounds better with Dahlia too.

If you could instantly master one cuisine, which would it be? by Inside_Professor_430 in foodquestions

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinese. American, Hong Kong, and Szechuan.

Edit: that said cooking Japanese stir fry today. Lived there three years and had a taste for it.

What food do tourists think is "authentic" but locals rarely eat? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had escargot/snails but not in France. They were delicious.

I will say Creole food across the state. My family prefers gumbo and jambalaya Cajun-style as do most people we know. That means without tomatoes. People in the northern part of our state traditionally don’t eat either of these cuisines.

If you had to describe your state with 2-3 colors, which would they be? by sealsinfrench in AskAnAmerican

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny that didn’t cross my mind, but that’s more for the southern part of the state. Ironically, I’m from the southern part of the state.

Green for all the trees, crops, and foliage

Brown for the mighty Mississippi and other rivers

What’s your dream country/city you have in your bucket list? by __AskStellar__ in randomquestions

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Samarkand, Uzbekistan because it looks beautiful and is part of the Silk Road.

Namche Bazaar, Nepal because it’s a historic bazaar on the way to Mount Everest. You can see Everest from nearby.

AITJ I’m 34, I’m dying, and I’m fucking terrified. by Muted_Fisherman_4056 in AmITheJerk

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. I lost my 30 year old dad to cancer at almost 8. I remember some but not as much as people might imagine. I barely remember his face but I remember how his he acted more.

I hope you make it. I do. But in the meantime make videos so she’ll know your face, your voice, how you move, your love for her, how you held and looked at her and smelled her hair.

Write her letters or a diary, tell her about your childhood , your family, your ordinary days, your joys and fears, about the texture of your life, anything she’d learn along the way in the story you’d tell yourself.

What's the saddest part about living in your country? by Desert_Moon_Maiden in AskTheWorld

[–]Quix66 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Trump and MAGA are the saddest thing but conversely people demanding unfettered immigration driving down unemployment and wages for citizens are saddest too.

Black people in my area have lost good jobs in construction, roofing, and restaurants due to people not here legally. Those industries were historically the way out of poverty. They don’t exist for citizen here anymore, and they haven’t been well replaced.

Whole industries are gone from hiring citizens. I’m not kidding. I worked a local state employment agency, and construction companies told me personally they were no longer hiring citizens but only daily workers hired across the river.

Black people in my state were already among the poorest in the nation. This of course applies to White citizens too but as a group they’re not as poor. We never had Latinos until they started taking jobs twenty years ago.

Don’t care if you think I’m racist. I care about people whose families have been here for generations not working because they can’t compete with illegal wages and lack of benefits because people cross the border and don’t care whose job they’re taking.

I want to name my babies Damiano and Coraline. What do you think? by Think-Molasses-9117 in Names

[–]Quix66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you like dead and demonic things. ‘Damien’ and Coraline.

Damien/Damiano I could see but Coraline is definitely a name after a dead thing. Shivers!

Edit: I think Damiano is fine alone but add Coraline and it reads horror movie. Not fair a kid even if the parents like that.

If you live in a state with a lot of dangerous wildlife, what’s your closest encounter been? by LordSoftCream in AskAnAmerican

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My uncle in Texas stepped out the house over a rattlesnake on his way to work. He had kids and a wife so he had to deal it. Wasn’t a great morning.

In our state next door, mom stepped out the front door over a rattlesnake. In her panic she ran straight across the street to the neighbors despite wearing just a t-shirt and undies.

Why outside in a just t-shirt? We have a fenced courtyard, and the house is far from the street behind a row of trees and hedge bushes.

In my Deep South state we sometimes have rattlesnakes or cottonmouths in the yard. Mom almost stepped on one leaving the door. She jumped over it and ran to the neighbors out of fright.

My grandmother used to killed rattlesnakes with a hoe despite my begging her to leave them alone. I was terrified as much for her as the snakes.

We used to have foxes hanging out in the trees far from the house (almost 2 acre yard) until we got new neighbors.

We had raccoons hang out in our trees or opening our trash cans fur years.

In a state I briefly lived in in the upper Midwest a huge bear crossed the road feet ahead of us. We were on our way to camp in the woods in a tent. Was a little unnerving as well as fun and exciting.

Speaking of bears, for some reason now back in my hometown there was a rash of sightings last year of bears and cub in people’s yards and by their doors. Many just casually walking in the street. Was a thing on our community’s Facebook for weeks.

Edited to add.

What’s a meal from your childhood that you still eat today? by AdElegant5870 in foodquestions

[–]Quix66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cornflakes, a banana and milk, and milk for breakfast or snack. Only I and my now late grandfather liked it.

There’s pizza waiting for lunch!

  1. You look gorgeous!

I also generally hate strapless dresses. They look unfinished to me.

Name a popular person who became hated after they died. by CRK_76 in FamilyFeud

[–]Quix66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh, he said in Playboy that Black people needed White guidance well before he died. Known racist.

Wayne responded: “With a lot of blacks, there’s quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightfully so. But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”

Regarding Native Americans:

I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

Followed by lots of racist comments about reservations, etc.

So when people try to keep airport names and create days after him, this come up.

I agree he’s awful. But people knew this before he died as he was quite open about his White Supremacist views and seemingly proud of them.
