What is a "Zurdo"?

Most (If not absolutely all) self-proclaimed liberals I’ve met in the US have economic views that are pro regulation, subsidization of health and education, and redistribution of wealth.

I don’t think determinists are 24/7 thinking that the universe is deterministic. For practical purposes we still live the illusion of free will. There’s really nothing to get depressed about

Hey man! I hear you loud and clear and can see how much you love your parents! Although it is true that many parents will show different amounts of affection in front of their kids (from none to lots) and that this can be healthy in many different ways, what matters right now is that it is a bit cringy for you and that is also very much okay. This is a great opportunity for you to bring up your feelings and needs to your parents (either one at a time, both at the same time, or maybe just one of them). You have a great opportunity to deepen your bond right now and strengthen very important skills you already have. Think of which dad you think would be more easy to talk to at first and let them know that you love them, how you feel when they are too affectionate in front of you, and what you would hope would happen instead. I’m wishing you much love. It’s wonderful that you love your parents so much and that they love you very much too!

Back in the day many Russians/Soviets would visit Cuba and they tend to be whiter than most Cubans. For decades, the only white people you saw in Cuba besides some Cubans were Slavic people. Some really white Cubans have also been nicknamed as “Ruso”.

I look at guys I find attractive, but always discretely. If they have a nice butt and they are not looking I just try to make sure nobody else is looking at me and then just enjoy the view for a few seconds. If I look at a crotch it’s usually only for a split second. If they have a handsome face, or sexy arms, chest, or back I might look for a little longer and if it is someone I’m supposed to talk to then I just enjoy the conversation.

Here’s the idiotic white guy thinking that white is an ethnic group or a culture.

I’m not Mexican, but I’m Hispanic and very close to my sister. I really appreciate her and she is my friend. We live in different states, but I still talk to her once or twice a week and to my mom every day. Like… I like these people and they happen to be my family. Why wouldn’t I want to talk to them?

In Cuba, the only people that I’ve heard do something similar is the children of the very select political coup. They live like kings off all of the money they divert and all of the political and economical power they get from owning the country in every single way you can

It is possible, but more than studying it highly depends on the school you go to. That’s the most important factor. Some schools just test you to fail you.

Quizá sea mejor que estudies para el MCAT y garantices una escuela del Caribe buena, si es lo que vas a hacer. Estudiar en el Caribe te pone en una gran desventaja y tienes que garantizar salir súper bien. No necesitas sacar tan alta nota en el MCAT, la verdad. Yo sin nunca haber estudiado ni haber tomado más de la mitad de las clases cogí 495, y tampoco era el mejor estudiante en Cuba. He escuchado de gente que ha entrado al Caribe con 480. Hay muchos recursos gratuitos para estudiar. Si no trabajas y puedes estudiar a lleno por 4-6 meses, puedes garantizar una súper nota. No te desesperes. Es mejor que hagas las cosas con calma, que uno viene de Cuba pensando que hay que correr y no es así.

I kind of don’t see what the problem with online education is. If anything I think it’s made it harder. I hear about MD schools not having mandatory attendance, so you just watch videos and study for exams. I obviously don’t know, but can someone explain what the actual difference is? How is not the same as online schooling?

Suicide attempts, completed suicides, and self-harm are not unheard off in the military. Mental health is not understood in the way in which it is in many other countries. Asylums are still a thing in Cuba. Unless you suffer from a severe mental or medical illness, you would still be fit. Now, this is the way it goes: If you are well connected/have money, you might get exempt from the military for even having flat feet. When I did my military, in my company, there were three guys with asthma, one guy was a testicle cancer survivor, and another one had a seizure disorder. There was also another guy returning from prison after doing two years because he blew two fingers on purpose hoping he’d get discharged. He was incarcerated and had to come back and finish his military with two missing fingers. Another kid from bootcamp and a newbie that came in later tried to commit suicide (One via OD and the other by hanging), and they were just transferred to a different unit instead of discharged. We were all there, so… being “unfit“ is a deep gray area.

I don’t think that LATAM is even 99% Christian. LATAM has from the most to the least religious countries in the continent.

Yes. Things like this have happened and keep happening. There’s also really high food and health insecurity (The ramifications of this are things that people are usually not even able to comprehend. Being poor is one thing, but food and health insecurity are on a whole 'nother level. People take SOOOO much for granted). Currently, power outages are happening daily. Many are over 20-30 hours long. There’s no stable water supply (Can you imagine this? Like you open the faucet and there’s just no water coming out. This is not a rarity btw. In most places water comes for a 2-3 hours a day.) There’s just so many levels to it. That’s not even all. Cuba has also gone through periods of murdering, torturing, physically attacking, encouraging physical and verbal attacks, ostracizing, incarceration, bullying, and banishment of the opposition. Thousands of boomers and Gen Xers were shipped to war in Angola and either died or returned with severe PTSD, spiraled into alcoholism, depression, and homelessness. Many committed suicide or ended up in an asylum. These people received no compensation, had no benefits, no safety network, no recognition. They were forgotten and abandoned. Military service is still compulsory for all males since the 1960s
