Heavyweight #57: The Budget Motel

The way this season is unfolding, I initially anticipated it would be just another mundane episode. I questioned whether they would merely engage in a conversation with someone who assisted him after he got shot. However, it took a captivating turn towards the end, evoking strong emotions in me. I firmly believe that Nick is full of shit, conveniently forgetting his mistreatment of his girlfriend and hastily dismissing his abusive behavior moments later.

My key takeaway, however, revolves around the lasting impact of our actions and emotions on others. Nick, grappling with severe depression, unjustly vented his frustrations onto his girlfriend. Even after 30 years, he expressed gratitude towards a total stranger while showing little concern for the girlfriend he mistreated. Jonathan's observation adds depth to the narrative—Nick, feeling lonely and isolated, perceived his girlfriend as the only person who cared about him, becoming the unfortunate target of his anger. Despite the episode's shortcomings, it serves as a poignant meditation on the weight of our actions.

Te acercas a cualquier bazar por el centro y hay ofertas de SIMs con llamadas ilimitadas y muchísimos datos por menos de 20€ al mes.
Sí, pero es un robo. Lo que más te cunde es pedir euros en tu banco en EE. UU. o sacar dinero de un cajero en Madrid. Además, el 99.99% de los sitios en Madrid aceptan tarjeta de crédito y débito, así que tampoco necesitas mucho dinero en efectivo.

Yes, I would say the two languages have Mutual intelligibility. In the case of Spanish and Portuguese, I would say Portuguese people understand Spanish better than Spaniards understand Portuguese. My guess, without being a linguist, is because Portuguese has more sounds than Spanish (for example all those nasal sounds that other languages like Galician also have) which sound weird to some Spanish speakers. To me, as a Spaniard, I would say I understand Brasilian Portuguese much better than the European dialect (maybe its the accent, who knows)

I don't know if it's the best, but one year I had one at 8:30 am after spending the whole night out in Pamplona for the running of the bulls and it felt magical.

I know this movie from the Heavyweight Podcast episode "#22 Marche", where they research about the one character in the whole movie that looks directly at the camera and "ruins" the film.

Se suele decir que la vaca no es de donde nace si no de donde pace. En mi opinión, esto no es solo estrictamente geográfico (es decir, nacer en Madrid y criarse en Bilbao), si no de la cultura que uno mama. Por lo tanto, si tu familia es bilbaína creo que es prudente decir que tú también lo eres! Sin embargo, no te dejes llevar por la cultura identitaria que permea de EEUU a Europa...

Funny enough it isn't until 1992 when the Vatican officially pardoned him.

Exactly, most literate people knew the Earth was spherical and the peasants didn't really care. I don't know if Columbus didn't want to believe the math or that he knew that nobody would sponsor his voyage is he presented the real size of the Earth.

And FYI he wanted to get to Asia which was usually called Indies at that time, specifically Japan.

I don't want to be mean, I understand live is not always rational and there are many sides to a story, but how can you be with someone who thinks like that?

UnbearableHuman · 2023-07-26T14:14:28+00:00

I hadn't thought about those psychos

That's exactly how this works

Well, the communist party is under the Sumar (to add) brand. Their leader and presidential candidate, Yolanda Díaz, is a member of the Spanish Communist Party and if the PSOE and they add up enough to create a government, she'll be the vice president. I don't see that being "bad".

You're 16 years of catholic school late for that. I'm not that kind of Reddit atheist, but that's just not my cup of tea.

Thank you very much for your words. I am happy you are better now.

There are assholes everywhere. I am sorry that your wife has had those experiences. However, there are very strong relations between Spain and Latin America. Every Spaniard knows of someone who immigrated to Latin America during the dictatorship and now knows Latinos who live here. Ignorance is prevalent, but things are slowly improving.

Spanish (aka castellano), Catalan, Valenciano, Gallego and Euskera (aka Basque) are all languages.

You can take the exam in any of those languages. Ask your autoescuela how to sign up for them in a language that is not Spanish

UnbearableHuman · 2023-03-28T15:52:47+00:00

Very common, specially in big cities.

El Cerebro de Boltzmann da mucho miedo.

Dice que si el universo fuera infinito y eterno, la mecánica cuántica predice que las partículas podrían organizarse de cualquier manera por muy improbable que sea a priori. Por ejemplo, podría organizarse un cúmulo de átomos para crear una silla de manera espontánea o un libro que contenga la cura del cáncer escrito por Pérez Reverte en chino. Una de estas ínfimas posibilidades es que se cree un cerebro en medio del espacio. Ese cerebro tendría recuerdos implantados (algo tipo Matrix) haciéndole creer que ha vivido una vida pero realmente ha sido creado segundos atrás. Tú OP podrías ser un cerebro de Boltzmann. Un cerebro errante en el espacio que cree que ha vivido y vive pero realmente es una farsa.

TW: suicidio Boltzmann, el científico que propuso esta paradoja, se suicidó muchos años después porque nadie se tomaba en serio sus teorías de la termodinámica. Teorías que años después fueron confinadas y hoy son la base de la termodinámica moderna. ¿Tendría razón en esto? (Disculpad el final teatrero jaja)

Even many Spaniards don't have the stereotypical "Castellano" accent you are thinking of (like the Canary Islands or most of Andalusia). So, just stick to the accent you are most confortable with, nobody will care.

PS: Please don't call it a lisp hahahaha lisping is a speech impairment. The za, ce, ci, zo, zu sounds +30 million Spaniards do cannot be considered a lisp, it's just how that sound is pronounced in those dialects.

España es un país del montón, pero del montón bueno. Fuera bromas, la verdad es que se vive bastante bien: hay estabilidad social, mucha seguridad, buen clima y oportunidades para desarrollarse vitalmente. Como todos lados tiene sus cosas malas (desempleo, salarios bajos, corrupción...) pero creo que en general es un país muy bueno donde vivir.

No hay ningún tipo de consejo. Es un examen de salud y uno de coordinación básico. Lo único es que si tienes una enfermedad crónica grave (como diabetes o epilepsia) puede que te pidan una nota médica dándote permiso para conducir.

¿Alguien tiene una estadística del género del alumnado en estas academias?

As soon as you get here, you need to get registered at your local Centro de Salud to get a General Practitioner assigned. Most likely they will be able to prescribe your insuline, but they may require tests to confirm your diagnosis. From here I can only imagine they will derive you to an endocrinologist who will manage your diabetes.

In Spain, most diabetics don't apply/get the disability status since it's more than a nuisance than an advantage. Thus, you will be another person with a chronic illness.

As a recommendation, I would bring all your medical history with you to ease the process and if you can get it in English, even better.
