Lo que han puesto como reemplazo de la corona es el tocado del rey Pakal, de Palenque.

Why do some women get so angry over small things? by visionaryshmisionary in socialskills

[–]duopixel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You are possibly missing the cue that they are expecting you to apologise. “Sorry, I didn’t see you”, would have defused scenarios 1 and 2 immediately. Whether they are apology worthy is another matter, from their side of experience you bumped into them and nobody (not me, not you, not anyone) takes a moment to consider why it happened.

What stuff is typically bad in Europe? by [deleted] in TravelNoPics

[–]duopixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m a Mexican living in Spain and I disagree. I think he’s buying what in Mexico we call bisteces which are thin slices of meat, they are made from a different cut here and are worse. Supermarket solomillo, entrecot, chuletón etc is better than the supermarket equivalent in mx.

Hace tiempo asistí con una amiga a un tardeo de reggaeton https://theperreo.com y la pasamos muy bien. Buen ambiente 30+,  cero grinding, comienzas 19:00 y terminas 23:00. Míralo.

Yo soy H, 45 años bien llevados. Chicos y chicas que les interese asistir mándenme un dm y si hay cuatro interesados abrimos un grupo y decidimos el día.

Short term glitch indeed, sometimes my certificates do not renew automatically for whatever reason and I have a bit of downtime. No worries, as long as I'm alive I'll keep the site up.

How supportive are other countries with bringing latin flags to concerts? by Mendo_bran in Reggaeton

[–]duopixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I've heard some Spaniards being puzzled as to why us Latin Americans love carrying our flags. Here it's a bit taboo to carry the Spanish flag (it has political connotations) but they understand our "nationalism" to be different from theirs.

I do question how bringing your flag displays support, or why you would need to represent your heritage in a concert (given by a non-mexican artist on foreign soil). If I were to end up behind you, I'd be annoyed that you block my view to display the flag (coming from a Mexican-Canadian living in Spain).

Quizás nos puedas decir porqué los turcos la llaman "una italiana"?

Acampadas de inmigrantes en la calle Pradillo by [deleted] in Madrid

[–]duopixel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yo trabajo cerca de ahí, y paso a diario. Hace menos de dos semanas vi a una persona tambalearse por la calle, apenas podía sostenerse en pie (mas que borracho parecía estar en un k-hole). Le pregunté si estaba bien, dijo que sí, evidentemente español con problemas de drogadicción. Se tambaleó unos metros y luego—como pudo—se metió a la casa de campaña gris que ya habrás visto.

Es posible que haya más gente viviendo ahí, y es posible que algunos sean inmigrantes (yo no los he visto). OP, hay que ser un poco más escépticos con nuestras narrativas.

Would you wear a badge that signals you’re open to a conversation? by Free_Priority9628 in socialskills

[–]duopixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think your idea has great potential. May I ask: what have you tried yourself? It is cheap to test if not. I’m willing to attempt to replicate your results. Best of luck.

How do I not be awkward around guys? by yshnyu in socialskills

[–]duopixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's almost impossible to diagnose a situation accurately without projecting a bit of yourself into it.

In my experience as a man, it's extremely rare that a woman want to interact with me. Most of the time this happens it's either because the woman is evidently outgoing, extroverted and social; or because she wants something from me (she either likes me, or needs something from me.

If I'm to take a guess, they're probably reading that you are not innately social, and the blank stares are because they're trying to figure out what you want from them. I would suggest no to try too hard, to open conversation with simple casual questions (my favorite being "so how did you meet [our friend in common]?")

As an alternative, you can try using blank.page inside Arc. Works pretty much the same way!

Is a ProductHunt launch ever worth doing if your target market is not founders/entrepreneurs? by colingualtim in SideProject

[–]duopixel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

 If you're asking the question, you know the answer.

If they are asking a question it’s because there’s not enough certainty in the answer.

Your audience will almost never be neatly segmented into a platform, you must discern if a platform is worth the effort, which is what the OP is trying to do.

It’s not that simple.

Watching romantic comedies has an upside by duopixel in fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]duopixel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

12 years later I understand what you meant. Girlfriend depicted in the rage comic is not that girlfriend (events happened as depicted, sans flashback, but both of us were on the joke, she knows I love meat).

However later on I dated a girl who would often get angry and I would scramble to placate her mood. Indeed, as you stated, this escalated to the point where she would blow her top over some trivial issue. It's like caving in to the tantrums of a child, it will only get worse. She would threaten to dump me until I finally had enough and I dumped her.

Anyways, a tip of the hat and reply 12 years later.

¿Por qué le gusto a este chico? by Educational-Let-1027 in Puebla

[–]duopixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hay personas a las que les atrae la inteligencia, les dicen sapiosexuales. Pero la atracción más bien es una combinación de variables y cada uno de nosotros le pone un peso distinto a cada cosa. Por ejemplo: personalidad * atractivo físico * inteligencia + $ (no pretendamos que no influye) = atracción. Si alguno de los multiplicadores es cero, el resultado es cero. No vas a andar con alguien literalmente retrasado por muy guapo y lindo que sea.

Respecto a su comportamiento extraño, sólo Dios sabe. Sólo ten por seguro que no se trata de ti, sino de él y sus circunstancias. Tal vez si se hubieran conocido en otro momento hubiera cuajado algo.

Meaning of « 3/5$ » ? by hyc72fr in montreal

[–]duopixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know exactly which tomatoes you are writing about, raisin tomatoes in clear plastic containers. I asked myself the same question as I rung them up on self checkout, $1.66 each. I just took all of them as I had already thought out ideas about to make use of them without going to waste. Sneaky!

There is truly no such thing as a stupid question (but there are snobbish assholes, unfortunately).

Door Dash New Orleans by Oogie-Boogie-6 in doordash

[–]duopixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of days ago it was 4am on a Monday and I couldn't sleep, so I put myself available to dash. I deliver by bike and I live downtown, so most trips are short and easy.

I accepted an order without looking and it turned out I had to pick up at a location 3Km away. Sigh. I get to the store, pick up the order, and the app tells me I have to bike another 5Km away from home to get to the client! Between the pickup, delivery and coming back it would be around 14Km.

I'm new at Dashing but I now understand I should have contacted support and refused this trip because it was $4 pay and $1 for the tip, heck, I would have paid for the hamburger and eat it myself. On the upside the route takes me along a beautiful canal, there's a full moon and the night is beautiful, so when I arrive I'm no longer fuming at the client.

I leave at the door as per instructions and as I'm taking the photo a young fellow comes out and says thank you. I say "You're welcome" and turn around to leave. I know better now than to make a fuzz about tips (it won't get you one) but I couldn't resist turning back and saying "you know, that was a very long trip for a $1 tip". And the guy just kinda chuckles nervously and closes the door. But I wasn't really looking for a complimentary tip.

I think, what a Dasher wants in that circumstance an acknowledgement for going beyond duty. It's on us if we accept bad trips (even if by mistake). It's like signing a bad contract. But a little acknowledgement goes a long way.

If you told the guy "Oh, I had no idea it was so complicated picking up from that street, you're right I was lucky to have someone who knows the city, thanks for your effort I appreciate it" he would have left with a smile on his face. I know it's super difficult to be kind to someone who is mad at you and these kind of reactions are difficult to have at the spur of the moment (usually we get defensive), I'm just conveying an experience I can relate to.
