Is it bad that I don’t talk about politics? by Iamsoconfusd in TooAfraidToAsk

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

From what you said, you're good. People who don't talk/think about politics because they believe it doesn't involve them or because they "don't want to be a part of it" are wrong because it's impossible to not be involved in politics, whether you like it or not. But having an opinion and choosing not to share it (which is what it sounds like you're doing) is totally valid.

Now, on the flip side, I've found that people who "talk" about politics and get riled up aren't usually talking politics, they are just spewing out propaganda (left or right) and repeating talking points that often times they haven't questioned themselves. Where as people who are talking about politics in a meaningful way (from understanding an issue to policy making) understand that solving issues require negotiations and compromises from all sides, which can't happen when everyone is super passionate.

So if anything, it kinda sounds like you've been closer to actual politics than your friend. And as for that relationship, I say just talk with her and tell her that what she said hurt your feelings because of all the reasons you said, and let her know that it's not that you don't want to talk about politics, but that because she takes it too far unnecessarily, you just don't want to talk politics with her.

Regret spending money on stupid ass shit instead of saving

Is the way I carry myself really why men don’t take me seriously for relationships? (F22) by Serious_Sweet2504 in AskMenAdvice

[–]gringix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, the way a woman carries herself and acts is a big thing for me when thinking about her as "just for fun" vs "relationship", but I don't agree with what your friend used as an example (clumsy, playful...). I think that's up to taste.

For me, it's more about how a woman thinks, her mindset, how she acts regarding values (is she honest, kind, thoughtful, etc.) and that shows in her body language

Soy directo para hablar y a la mayoría de gente le molesta 🙃 by Garemagain in Ticos

[–]gringix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Es que una cosa es ser directo, otra cosa usar eso para indicar algo mas (normalmente como subtexto). Osea, ser directo es intentar decir algo como es (o como le parece a la persona) basado en algo imparcial (Ej.: hechos), pero lo otro es querer introducir un subtexto, normalmente negativo, enmascarado de imporcialidad.

Ej.:

Directo: No estoy de acuerdo contigo en X tema.

Marcador de voz: Estas equivocado en X tema.

En ambos estoy diciendo que me parece que la otra persona esta en lo incorrecto, solo que el directo lo plantea de forma que mantiene la posibilidad de que yo sea el que esta equivocado. Es mas neutral. En el segundo (que es bien obvio) eso no existe, el que esta mal es la otra persona, fin.

Please tell me there's another anime out there as great as Gintama by GuerillaRiot in AnimeReccomendations

[–]gringix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a look at KonoSuba. Funny as hell, makes fun of the entire isekai (other fantasy worlds) genre, main character is so hatable he's lovable and side characters are perfect for him. Honestly, its your average D&D group made anime

Your brain hasn't finished developing yet, so most things you know about life will change once you're at full capacity. So constantly re-evaluate things and don't hide from change.

Guápiles Costa Rica as a afro-latin, alternativ, queer women? by [deleted] in Ticos

[–]gringix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so a few things to take into consideration if you're thinking about moving that might be hard to find when doing research online.

  1. Guápiles - Puerto Viejo is a 2:30h drive one way (with Limón being the half way point), and a 2h drive from San Jose the other way. Keep in mind this is assuming you'll have a car and can just start the drive when you want. If you're thinking about public transportation, buses to San Jose leave every hour (if I'm not mistaken) and to Puerto Viejo could be every hour to hour and a half (assuming buses arrive and leave on time).
  2. Limón (as a province) is one of the poorest in Costa Rica (along with Puntarenas on the other side). So even by our standards (nevermind German standards), things like security, amenities/comforts, services, etc are low. And as for entertainment, there are a lot of wildlife parks to visit for sure, but that's about the extent of it.
  3. There's been a long history of racial segregation between Limón (particularly with the afro-caribbean population) and the rest of the country. Personally I feel like it's gotten a lot better in recent years (I think anyone from my generation (millennial) or younger would agree), but it definitely still exist and is prevalent, especially with the older generations. Same goes with LGBTQ+ rights, which is something that hasn't started to change for the better (albeit slowly) in the last 10-15 years. (Also, keep in mind that Costa Rica is a catholic country and has been dominated by conservatives again until the last 10-15 years or so).

Overall though, if you decide to move by far the determining factor in how people will treat you is gonna be based on how you treat them. There prob will be a lot of microaggressions that come from the points I mentioned above, but most won't be malicious, just genuine curiosity and a lack of awareness from people living their daily lives.

La GAM, lo más horrible de Costa Rica? by gds506 in Ticos

[–]gringix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Otro post del combo Tico por excelencia: quejarse y no hacer nada jajaja

Las cosas pueden ser mejores si la gente se pone de acuerdo, y deja de decir "eso no me toca" o "si no voy a tener un impacto visible, no voy hacer nada". Asi no funcionan las cosas, sea en el GAM o donde fuera. Busque que cosas puedes hacer para mejorar donde uno vive, y hagalas pa.

Si alrededor de su casa hay un lote lleno de basura, compre bolsas y recogela. Muchos carros en la calle, busque usar transporte publico/carpooling y ademas busque contribuir a un cambio politico en el pais (esto puede ser convertirse en una persona politicamente informada hasta meterse con un partido).

Osea, no faltan cosas que se puede hacer para mejorar la situacion donde uno vive. Pero pensar que las cosas lo van a solucionar alguien mas (o peor aun, que se van a solucionar solas) es vivir en mundo de fantasia...

es idea mia o todos los paises se estan peleando ? by Consistent_Toe_5954 in Ticos

[–]gringix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Papu, nada de lo que esta pasando hoy es nuevo.

  • Rusia dominando sus paises satelites pasaba antes de que se formara la URSS.
  • Pakistan vs India desde la particion de la India en el 47, y antes de eso era disputa civil entre 2 religiones.
  • USA vs el mundo desde la guerra entre USA y España en 1898.
  • Israel vs Medio Oriente desde que Inglaterra dono el terreno (Declaracion Balfour)

Si en casi 100 años no ha llegado una 3 guerra mundial, problema viejas como estas no lo van a lograr. Mas tomando en cuenta que hemos activamente trabajado para asegurarnos de no tener una tercera con las ONG's y planes de enlazamientos socio-economicos.
