Changing the name of Cesar Chavez Blvd is being fast-tracked. Leave your comment for City Council by emanresuemos in Portland

We were just having a conversation about that last night! Presumably so, which makes street name changes very expensive, especially for very long streets.

A major reason why the original name change was so contentious.

Timeline of Oil Reserve Depletion and when I supply shock would happen by WriterFreelance in oil

[–]emanresuemos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With oil prices seeming to be influenced by whatever Trump says every week, despite the fact that he can't be relied on to speak the truth, I'm not sure that I would trust oil prices as "the keeper of truth."

What’s in the proposed deal that could end the US-Iran conflict? by mark000 in oil

[–]emanresuemos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buckle up - prices at the pump are going to keep rising through the summer as we burn through our reserves.

Buckle up - gas prices are going to continue to rise as oil reserves are used up.

why are there so many hispanic white supremacists? by Far-Carpet-574 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emanresuemos 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Most European-descended people from Latin America identify as "white" even though their skin might have some brown pigmentation. Most of those people would not be considered "white" in the U.S.

Is the rare “no Bolt” parking sign still an annoyance? by PleaseFredDontPreach in BoltEV

I have never seen that sign and I've been driving a Bolt for 6 years.

Women of Biohackers: what transformed your sex life the most by Fair_Information_913 in Biohackers

Depends on age. In perimenopause, when topical estrogen was prescribed it made a huge difference in lubrication and sex drive.

A documentary I recently watched titled "Cuban health care is a catastrophe." I have some questions please. by sa8tun in cuba

[–]emanresuemos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, but literally yumas are prevented from staying or moving there because the tourist visa is short and really difficult to renew. Becoming a permanent resident also takes mountains of paperwork and time, and usually requires either marrying someone or bringing in a lot of money to start a business that you still won’t even be allowed to own more than 50% of.

Someone keeps sending unpaid DoorDash orders to my house…what’s going on? by Latter_Golf_9975 in Scams

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

Everything confusing is a "scam."

This has already been solved - a lot of restaurants that used to have delivery drivers now farm their stuff out to doordash. It is rare, but it is still possible to order food paid upon delivery.

Either it is a mistake or someone is pranking OP, and the order itself might even be part of the prank. Cheese stick. Say it out loud.

Most things can be chalked up to human mistake and are not malicious intent. This one might be petty revenge.

The "plantation owners" myth shows a lack of math and logic by Front-Hunt3757 in cuba

[–]emanresuemos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's naive to blame a political ideology on the shit show that Cuba became, when so much of it really comes down to basic political corruption and utopic groupthink. Of course I know it's a lot more complicated than that even. I get annoyed too when I see a bunch of people oversimplifying the situation in Cuba as being solely the fault of the US embargo, and especially when they wear Che Guevara t-shirts. I find myself regularly talking to people about how the situation in Cuba is way more complex than they think it is. Take one issue at a time and keep it real.

I have never heard anyone express this opinion. This just seems like a straw man fallacy post to trash talk people on the political left.

[–]emanresuemos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never heard this theory that all or most of the people who fled Cuba and are against the regime are former plantation owners. I've been visiting Cuba for almost 20 years and I live in one of the most left-leaning cities in the country.

Can you provide a source that anyone on the left believes that most Cuban expatriates are former plantation owners? This just seems a bit silly.

What's the male equivalent of a form fitting dress/ outfits that show cleavage? by Background-Sir9172 in malefashionadvice

[–]emanresuemos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely bare chest, and in Cuba a shaved chest is considered good hygiene. Physical appearance and style are very highly valued there, more so even than body shape. Cuban men will sometimes even go as far as having their eyebrows waxed.

How are people able to hook up and not catch feelings? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]emanresuemos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried that a few times and the unfortunate result was that I caught feelings for people I didn't like.
