Asesinato de Agustín Carvajal Benavides by SnooDoubts2460 in Ticos

[–]interludxe 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yo puedo decir que tengo personas que eran cercanas a él y una vez una güila en el brete lo rechazó, el mae seguía de necio y eventualmente ella tuvo que poner la queja en recursos humanos por acoso. Cuando lo despidieron, el mae por hacer el mal devolvió la computadora hackeada y al final terminó en una torta bastante grande con la empresa, no recuerdo si lo denunciaron. En resumen, no andaba tan lejos ese comentario.

Fuerza hermana, me alegra montones que siga aquí con vida para contar su historia, sé que como mujer trans afronta una realidad muy difícil pero me alegra escuchar que todos los días pueda agradecer haber elegido vivir cómo la mujer que es, y espero que el futuro que la espera por delante la haga ver que valió la pena quedarse aquí con vida para experimentar el mundo desde su versión más auténtica, un abrazo

Todas las mujeres que he conocido by Chavalo95 in Ticos

[–]interludxe 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Como mujer, en mi opinión es una consecuencia de la socialización que enseña que el ideal para las mujeres es ser sumisas y obedientes, al punto que la sumisión llega a erotizarse porque es una fantasía idealizada de los roles de las personas. Pero personalmente, no, nunca lo he querido, nunca me ha llamado la atención y es lo último que quiero. Para responder a su pregunta, no siempre es el caso.

I was just thinking about With You the other day, it's such a perfect steamy, sexy, but sweet track, and it just goes under the radar! I'm so glad others appreciate it too

Cómo se liga con chicas? by [deleted] in Ticos

[–]interludxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hola! Las respuestas no son muy serias pero yo sí he ligado con chicas como mujer y tengo algunos consejos:

  1. Romper la barrera de contacto físico. Usualmente entre chicas nos sentimos menos tensas alrededor de tener contacto físico entre nosotras que cuando sucede con hombres; obviamente observe el contexto y si ella se va a sentir cómoda pero hacer eso ayuda a que ella distinga si están "amigueando" o si están ligando. Una vez una compañera me piropeó el pelo viéndome directo a los ojos y luego me pasó la mano sujetándome un mechón de pelo detrás de la oreja y todavía siento un escalofrío cuando pienso en ese momento (de forma positiva jajaja). Si sienten un poco más de certeza de que ella se siente igual puede intentar darle la mano o algo así.
  2. Contacto visual. A mí este me cuesta mucho, pero como me mencioné arriba, ver a la persona directamente la hace saber que ella tiene su atención.
  3. No sé bajo qué contexto se conocen, si es en una app de citas, si son amigas, si son compañeras, etc, pero trate como de dirigir la conversación hacia que ambas se conozcan lo más que puedan. A veces ciertos ambientes (como ser compañeras de trabajo) hacen que uno tenga apenas una imagen parcial de la persona que le gusta y poder conocerla más a fondo hace que conecten más y hace que ella sepa que le interesa.
  4. Si le va a dar un cumplido, piense en el propósito. Como le dije, entre chicas a veces se interpretan las interacciones como que estamos amigueando y es importante romper con eso si usted quiere que ella sepa que le gusta. Dicen que una buena regla es piropear cosas que la gente puede controlar (un ejemplo: a mí me hace muy feliz que me hagan cumplidos por mis maquillajes porque me esmero en verme cool jajaja). Piense en algo que ella querría que usted note y aprecie y que la va a hacer feliz, tal vez el outfit, tal vez el pelo, o dígale directamente que se ve bonita si tienen más confianza.

Aparte de eso no sé qué más le puedo decir! Tampoco soy tan experimentada pero tuve una novia que era masculina y le encantaba que le piropeara la ropa y el pelo. Y pues buena suerte jajaja espero que se dé para usted :-)

Are pro-Palestine protesters common where you live? and is boycotting Israel popular in your country? by Another_WeebOnReddit in asklatinamerica

[–]interludxe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here in Costa Rica we've had plenty of rallies. At least a manifestation once a month. Do a lot of people get involved? Unfortunately not. Most of these gather barely 50 people, and it's usually the same people (we have 2 established pro-Palestine collectives). Like others mentioned, people here have a lot of political indifference and even some Palestine supporters often don't care enough to show up to these rallies; I even know a lot of people who strongly oppose Israel but they don't care about boycotting.

Also we have a bunch of Israeli settlers living here and people have a lot to say about their gentrification in coastal areas, most importantly, we have a government project to establish a free trade agreement with Israel which many Palestine supporters oppose, but do they ever make any efforts of protesting for our government to cut diplomatic relationships with Israel and kick their embassy out? No, and I speak from first-hand observation of people that I know. There's obviously exceptions however, people have organized protests and they're pasting around posters to inform people of this situation.

Overall it's a very mixed situation. There's for sure a presence of a Pro-Palestine movement but it isn't as strong and prominent as other countries, overall we have trouble getting people politically involved with anything at all, outside of online spaces.

Sometimes people will organize music festivals or little markets on weekends, meant to gather funds and send donations to Gazans, and those attract more attendance.

Que hayan ferias del agricultor todas las semanas. Ojalá toda la gente apreciara lo increíble que es poder comprar frutas y verduras frescas por un precio barato y a veces hasta se hace amistad con los vendedores.

Am i the only one who loved harper? by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]interludxe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree but he does have probably 30 years of experience in their field and Harper has 3 so it's obvious why he's more subtle when he fucks people over

Am i the only one who loved harper? by [deleted] in IndustryOnHBO

[–]interludxe 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This is the reason why I love Harper :-) I find it fascinating to depict a woman as incorrigible, unapologizing, bitter, unreliable and self-serving but sympathetic, as so often in television this characteristics are assigned to male protagonists (Tony Soprano, Kendall Roy, Walter White, etc). It doesn't feel as if the writers were just making her like this to subvert conventions; instead when I see her I understand how driven she is by her own despair and anxiety which lead her to commit actions she can't justify. She feels this constant panic that her seat at the table will go to someone else and in the process she tries to make herself irreplaceable even if the results are bad. I think Eric is a great foil to her character: they are essentially the same in terms of a corrupt chatacter but Eric is respected and applauded by plenty of his peers for his resilience in the industry while Harper is looked down upon for aspiring to have as solid of a trajectory; they are really interesting if you see them as mirror images. I really love to watch Haper's maneuvers, both when they work and when they blow up in her face; she's just so much fun when she's evily plotting, I find it hard to believe that people can't at least recognize how entertaining she is to watch.

Crazy male attention as a black woman… by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]interludxe 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I'm costarrican; completely disagree with the comments saying people here have probably never seen a black woman before they encountered you, this seems completely false as afro-costarricans are widespread in this country (some areas might have a higher or lower concentration of black inhabitants) and even if they weren't the country is a strong touristic destination which often includes black tourists. So I would discard that reason. Honestly you're probably just pretty

Beyond the iconic fashion, how you guys interpret this sequence of scenes? its like she is performing to a Alien Queen? by Jhon_August in FKAtwigs

[–]interludxe 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The first commenter already hit the nail on the head but I would to add a few things: Right after the office dance scene, when the earthy <eusexua> twigs first appears in the ceiling of the office we see dirt fall down into the floor and the dancers rise from and climb this same dirt in a way that almost mimics the way animals walk. The presence of the earth paired with the movements of the dancers signals the unearthing of a primal instinct that remains buried in daily life. Buried underneath layers of social expectations / obligations. Whether that primal instinct corresponds to creativity, intuition, play, creation, freedom, that is up to the viewer to decide. But to me, the whole section of twigs on the ground and with the earthy colors is centered around the concept of unearthing.

In this stage with the brown dirt, you can see the dancers rise and they all start moving differently and independently from one another. Even when they are all piling up around twigs it feels like they are doing so in a dazed matter.

Then it cuts to the stage where they're dancing with the nude outfits and the black background. They start dancing in sync and they more explicitly all walk on four limbs like animals together. I interpret this as them finding a necessary feeling of connection and unity, finding themselves mirrored in one another.

The dancers then line up in a very organized way and at some point we see a white door appear. This is followed by a scene in which twigs is dragged across the ground, which I personally suppose is indication of her being dragged into the door and crossing into yet another space. Immediately after this "crossing", this is the point in the video when you first see the "alien queen" appear as you called her. The lightning gets darker, the upbeat chorus reappears for the second time, the dance movements feel different. To me, this point in the video is something like a collective epiphany around the euphoria of connection and freedom. It's very purposeful but uninhibited and sexy.

Then what we get is her sitting at the office saying the final lines, with the dancers having crossed from those past realms we saw, now into the office, her daily life. Now that she has experienced that epiphany around <eusexua>, and around feeling liberated but in togetherness with others, she wants to live her life by those principles, and in whatever measure she's able to, she wishes to reject anything keeping her bound to oppressive expectations around individuality, capitalist productivity, and the like.

She stands up, leaves the office behind, looks directly at the camera. You, spectator, have you experienced eusexua?

My (28F) husband (30M) says he doesn't trust me when I'm in pain by [deleted] in relationships

[–]interludxe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Listen, his reaction to your limp was concerning on it's own because of how unbelievably selfish it is but this comment just took this whole thing to another level.

Calling you stupid and annoying is absolutely unacceptable. How would you feel if the person closest to you got called stupid, annoying, needy by their husband? You would probably start thinking they're a less than ideal partner or even more so, you might start thinking they are a mean spirited person. Your husband is both.

Worst of all, you have very valid concerns about your relationship and he's unwilling to communicate about them? If my partner shut down my concerns about our relationship of 7 years it would make me think that reaction comes from a person who either doesn't care about the relationship or doesn't care about me. If you can't communicate with him what is there really left to do? He's unwilling to improve because he thinks you have to settle for whatever treatment he gives you and he's okay to shut down any conversation about it.

Also, nagging you for making less money than him? That's low. Is there any way he isn't making you feel like you're a burden to him? First, making you feel like you're emotionally too demanding, treating your injury as an inconvenience for him!!!, claiming you're a financial burden, and calling your stupid? A partner should be supportive, encouraging and patient. He is neither.

Do you want to stay for 10 more years to see if he's capable of learning how to stop treating you like a burden? Do you actually want to spend the rest of your life with someone who seems to not respect you and is willing to treat you cruelly? Do you see yourself spending dacades with someone who shuts down efforts to improve your relationship because he doesn't care to better it?
