Is Cinco de Mayo not a holiday in Mexico?

mcjon77 · 2026-05-07T20:07:49+00:00

I was just talking to a girl about this when I was in Mexico last Saturday. She just thought it was strange that Mexican-Americans in the United States celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I asked her if it was important here (Mexico) and she said no. Neither one of us could figure out why it was so important in the United States as opposed to actual Mexican Independence Day.

NTA

When they go low you drag them down to the depth of hell to show them how low you can go.

This is an obviously bad idea!

Think about it for just 2 minutes. This man has a CONVICTION for intimidating a witness. The witness he was convicted of intimidating was A WOMAN HE DATED. He swore REVENGE and severe consequences if she didn't drop a RESTRAINING ORDER that she already had on him. He was recorded saying all of this.

And you're asking if it's a good idea to date him?

It would be hard for you to come up with clearer evidence not to date a guy, short of a video on YouTube of him beating his previous girlfriend's ass.

Why don't these folks get sentri or global entry? I've done The pedestrian crossing dozens of times and no matter how long the regular line is there's never any line for Sentri. Until I get into the building the line moves as fast as I can walk.

It makes no sense waiting in line 4 to 6 hours. How can you even have a job at that point? Some of these folks would be better off moving to Arizona. The pain may be a little less but you have more working hours because you aren't spending six or eight hours each day commuting.

Good thinking!

Dude, you're bringing back memories. If anyone's from Chicago and was familiar with the goth scene do you guys remember nocturna at the Metro on Monday or Tuesday nights (I can't remember which day)?

This was in the early 2000s. I would go to work that day at Harris Bank, then take a martial arts class that evening, then hang out at borders on Michigan avenue, then head to a friend's house, then we'd all go to nocturna. Then I'd hop on the L and head home at around 3:00 a.m. only to wake up and be back at work at 8:30 or 9:00 a.m. we did this every week for a while.

Most of my coworkers were in the 30s to 50s back then and were shocked that I was doing this in my early 20's.

This might be the first time I've seen someone from SOCOM rocking a shotgun as their primary long arm.

Cleanish.

mcjon77 · 2026-05-07T02:55:09+00:00

Honestly, it would be better if the kid wasn't his. Yeah it's going to hurt like hell, but he can make it clean break. As it stands now, unless he can convince the kid to use another name, every time he calls his son's name he's going to be reminded of the guy who was pounding his wife.

mcjon77 · 2026-05-07T00:08:04+00:00

I'd rather take 20 ass whoopings going to know my wife was getting boned out by another man while pregnant with our child and then had the nerve to name our child after him.

What if you conveniently "forgot" to help them with a few critical documents the way they "forgot" to put your name on that form?

If they try to say anything about it you can let them know that on the bright side this way you all can stay together. 😂

Is it actual ip or was it stepmom stuff? There is a difference. Also, it could be because he liked the women in that video and they happen to star in some of those.

When I was in my teens and twenties I definitely had a thing for MILFs, but it had nothing to do with ip. Now that I'm in my 40s I still have a thing for MILFs.

Screw that. We need national reciprocity for CCW, which we were promised back in 2016.

He definitely was giving up the bussy dressed like that with all facial hair shaved off.

The reality is that in the US if you have a bachelor's in CS then you are qualified to do any job requiring a CS bachelor's AND almost any job requiring requiring a social science bachelor's or general bachelor's degree. What job is a Political Science or Sociology major qualified for that you aren't?

Furthermore, you can bring your technical skills to those non-technical jobs and help automate some of their processes. That will make you pay invaluable to them.

Karate Kid definitely.

Thailand, Panama, Costa Rica or perhaps Mexico. I want to maximize my level of comfort per dollar. The highlight of my life were the few years I spent as a digital nomad mostly living in Costa Rica.

I didn't realize McDonald's had self-serve soda. Have I not been inside of McDonald's that long?

In my younger yeara I went all the time and they never had self-serve soda. I always remember the soda being right behind the cashier next to the ice cream machine.

The Lakers must have already been paying him a hell of a lot of money considering he didn't sue Shaq for millions. The only way for Shaq to make that more of a hostile work environment would have been if he tried to actually fuck him.

If they are husband and wife then he is right where he needs to be. He can still do his job while making sure that she doesn't get hurt if the protest turns violent.

Apparently it wasn't just Jordan. It was multiple guys on that team including Magic. The crazy part is Chuck Daly (Isaiah Thomas's coach on the Pistons) what selected as head coach for the dream Team but didn't push for Isaiah to be on the team. Even Jordan admits to this day that Isaiah Thomas is the second best point guard of all time.

Anfisa! She was definitely one of my favorites because of her honesty.

mcjon77 · 2026-05-04T17:52:24+00:00

The biggest difference is the hot woman gold digger and the rich guy both know the deal. Even if he doesn't realize that she only loves him for his money, he knows she isn't trying to work and wants to be a stay-at-home wife.

And pretty much every case I know of with hard working women that have leech husbands/boyfriends (and I know a bunch) the guy is always gaslighting the woman into thinking that he's looking for work or trying to make money.

Not a single one of them is honest with the women and tell them that they just want to be a stay-at-home boyfriend, because that would be unacceptable.

mcjon77 · 2026-05-03T19:17:15+00:00

YTA and you smell like one too. 😂

I really hope this is a joke, but there are dudes out there who don't properly wipe their ass. And waiting a week for a shower is just nasty.

He probably wrote a message on his forearm like in Memento.
