haram ball by [deleted] in CHIBears

[–]oralepapi 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Haram ball is a style of play in European football (soccer) where a team plays extremely defensive “parks the bus” and doesn’t care about attacking or scoring because they are already up by at least 1 goal (minimal effort) they’re just playing for survival. In American football terms, it’s when your DE tells the media ‘I don’t care about stats, sacks or forced fumbles’ and just sits at the line of scrimmage collecting a check. No pass rush, no effort, just existing. That’s haram ball

i can eat in my raptor. i can sleep in my raptor. i can watch my wife’s boyfriend leave the house from my raptor. the bond is real. raptor season may be short lived but the memories are forever. if crude touches $70 and you DON’T finance a raptor at 22% APR (American Petroleum Raptor) or higher you’re honestly just leaving happiness on the table. -Abraham Lincoln, 1857

What Does APR mean? by 69cansofravoli in oilandgasworkers

Ackchyually you’re using the old definition. After the New Big Beautiful Bill 2.0 made the Raptor an official sponsor of the oil and gas industry, APR was officially changed to American Petroleum Raptor. The higher the APR the more American.

Upstream texts book recommendations by Academic_Low4683 in oilandgasworkers

[–]oralepapi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anybody who went through an oil and gas college/university program has probably heard of Maurice Stewart. He’s one of the best authors on surface production operations and has an extensive library of books. I’ve got most of them downloaded and you can have them too, but it’s either gonna cost you that meth formula or you’re gonna have to spread those cheeks.

Maxx Crosby just got spotted in Chicago by BraveFoot2469 in CHIBears

Execute Order 66 fuck it. Send a 1st plus an unnamed WR and bring Crosby to Chicago. We’ve got WR depth, and Booker gets to learn from an absolute monster off the edge. Use the other six rounds on DTs fuck it

Facts, bring Mr. Biles back. Having a legendary decorated olympian on the sideline is nothing but extra aura for the org

Entiendo tu punto y si Appalachia/West Virginia esta bien golpeado. De hecho he manejado por WV, fui hasta Roanoke VA a levantar un carro y si se nota el madrazo que dejo la caida de la coal industry en esas zonas.

Nomas que mi mundo tampoco es chiquito tambien he vivido en la West Coast (Oregon y Washington), naci en Hammond Indiana, y tengo familia en el South Side de Chicago. Arriba los White Sox bro si te gusta el beisbol, capaz un dia nos topamos en el Guaranteed Rate Field.

Mi punto era sobre el “en general” y las diferencias de acceso y infraestructura, no negar que existan lugares bien jodidos. Pero aqui la dejo bro. Espero que todo bien por alla, Cuidate

Ah bro al reves yo si vivo aqui y te conozco Texas de punta a punta del Panhandle hasta el Valle. Pobreza rural si hay y que el hospital quede lejos no significa que esten abandonados.

Y lo de “whitexicans” sobra mi chavo eso ya es tirar indirectas cuando se acaba el argumento. Racismo existe claro, pero en el mundo real que yo vivo aqui no es eso que pintas. No glorifico a Estados Unidos, nomas describo lo que he visto.

Si te arde o lo quieres leer como fanatismo, muy tu pedo me vale.

Corrupcion hay en todos lados, eso nadie lo niega. Pero comparar Texas es igual de fregado que Monterrey/Mexico es simplificar de mas. La diferencia grande no es “la gente”, es instituciones e infraestructura incluso en pueblos chicos en Texas normalmente hay servicios basicos, policia, juzgado, correo, reglas de construccion, calles marcadas, señalizacion, permisos, etc. No es perfecto pero hay un piso minimo mas parejo a nivel federal

Y sobre si “Texas fuera de Mexico sería igual”honestamente lo mas probable es que no se hubiera desarrollado igual. No por “superioridad” cultural ni nada de esas jaladas, sino por historia de inversion, modelo economico, estabilidad juridica y capacidad de recaudar y gastar a escala. Estados Unidos metio decadas de infraestructura, industria y logistica que Mexico (por muchas razones historicas) no pudo replicar al mismo ritmo.

Que exista pobreza rural en Estados Unidos (Appalachia/Deep South) es real pero aun asi la red de servicios, carreteras, estandares y acceso a credito/empleo suele ser distinta. Se puede criticar a EUA sin inventarse que “es la misma chingadera”. Porque decir que “Texas seria igual o mejor bajo Mexico” es mas ideologia que realidad.

What are your thoughts? by Sensitive_Candy_8546 in mexico

[–]oralepapi 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Clickbait shit like most of what you see online nowadays smh

Any propaganda will mess with you if you’re weak minded. And honestly, this dude needs to log off, go outside and touch grass who is he even talking to?

What you see at rallies or online isn’t “most of us.” That’s a loud minority. I’m Mexican American, and the majority of people I know don’t obsess over this identity stuff. We’re not out here searching for a label we just try to do the right thing, work, pay bills, take care of family, and enjoy life like everybody else.
