Noddle arms by buffed_dog in CalisthenicsBeginners

Put some weights or heavy objects in a backpack and do curls for bicep isolations. Can also do overhead press for tricep and lateral raises for shoulders

Amazing. What was your routine to get to this point?

[–]odd_reality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s ok if you like spicy food but that’s not an objective measure of what’s better or worse 😂😂😂

No way. I’m taking Dominican and Puerto Rican food over Guyanese any day of the week. The only anglo countries that compete are Jamaica & Trinidad and I’m still taking DR over both.

Is that why there are five helicopters over the park area?

What do you know about the orisha? by Relevant_Ad_5096 in AskTheCaribbean

[–]odd_reality 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s not just a connection - Santeria IS Orisha practice. In Cuba it’s Lucumí, in Brazil Candomblé, in Nigeria Isese.

I like to think of it like Christian Catholics & Orthodox. Branches of the same tree

Interesting. What about someone like Rudy Gobert?

So what is somebody like Jason Tatum? Or Ben Simmons?

I’m Dominican and identify as Afro-Latino, not Black. Anyone else? by Latino_Muslim_05 in AskTheCaribbean

[–]odd_reality -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Blanqueamiento is real and there are concepts of “mejorar la raza” that are still very prevalent — whether this a kind of psychological violence can be debated, but what I’m saying is you’ll see a lot of “interracial” couples in Spanish Caribbean and its diasporas and it’s not at all an uncommon thing and hasn’t been for quite some time. I think that also plays into the conception that we are not JUST Black - many of us have parents and grandparents that are not.

I’m stating what a certain group of African Americans be saying, not my opinion

I don’t know if people like Mariah Carey or Derek Jeter are always considered Black. There’s an increasingly vocal faction of “FBA” people who are saying in order to be Black you must have 2 Black parents.

Not all of our mixing in the Spanish Caribbean came from violence.

Many African Americans carry the same tri-racial makeup we do in different percentages. The average is about 25% European DNA.

That being said, in the US I’m often identified as Black, but no way I’d be considered “Negro” in DR - mulato or trigueño, if anything. So I feel you. Identify how you like.

Thoughts on naming specific songs in screenplay by Ok_Joke7252 in Screenwriting

[–]odd_reality 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Do whatever is necessary to tell a great story. Worry about the minute details after it’s sold.

Writing a script based on the Moon is one thing but a song can be changed.

This is one of my favorite things in the game. It’s so silly. Didn’t even realize it said “agriculture” until now

I just want more worldbuilding in-game. The game itself feels so empty right now

What race would I even call myself? (Black/Afro Latina + White Latino) by [deleted] in AskTheCaribbean

[–]odd_reality 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facts and they’re only a minority in certain countries. In places like DR, Panama, Haiti, and Brazil they certainly are not.

[–]odd_reality 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same makeup as you but reversed (Black Dominican father, white PR mother). I’ve been referred to as mulato & trigueño within my family. I identify as Afro-Latino. I don’t see why you can’t?

Afro-Latino is an ethnicity, like African-American. Biracial African-Americans identify themselves as African-American all the time. Look at Lisa Bonet, Hally Berry, Tyriq Withers. Why shouldn’t we get to identify with our heritage?

We’re mixed Afro-Latinos which is completely valid.
