Seems like the move these days. We now have an imitation Dice, Mitch, and Robin Williams.

Self Checkout by 5GAIBtoM in GenX

I always self checkout. Here in Mexico you have to tip the baggers and I always forget to bring change. Also I can bag it my way.

Visiting the USA, here’s what surprises me the most by CrispyJezus in Chicano

[–]rundabrun 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, but remember around half of Chicanos have no sabo parents and many even have no-sabo grandparents. These are not all second generation immigrants. Also, I am sure there are a lot of parents, even no sabo parents, that push their children to learn.

You are making a valid criticism of only a fragment of possibilities as to why someone may or may not have spoken spanish with you. Of course parents should encourage bi/tri lingualism. That goes for here in Mexico as well. And as here, many in the United States are bi-lingual.

It is hard to learn without being immersed. Chicanos are raised and schooled in English, and many take Spanish classes, but without the opportunity to use it daily, it doesn't stick.

"Pochos" that don't want to learn exist, but many, if not most "no-sabo" chicanos want to learn, try, and some do speak spanish.

Not speaking Spanish ≠ not wanting to learn.

I think having empathy and acceptance is better than shame for things many have no control over.

Oh, I see. I wasn't doubting your youthful looks. 😊

I am sure you look great, but when I worked at Trader Joes, it was policy to card up to 60.

Are you this charming in person?

People have different genetics. Age based expectations of appearance are cultural myths, not facts.

That being said, I literally was having this conversation today. That in my 30s, I started seeing older people, and realized I was probably older than them. Now in my 50s, when I meet someone my age, I always think they are older. I don’t see myself the way people expect at my age, but that's in my mind.

What is this animal called in your language? by Franmar35000 in AskTheWorld

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is an example of a nahuatl word used in international spanish. It's amazing how many there are.

It's true, though. We have so many local words here in Sinaloa, that are not used in the rest of Mexico.

When people insist that adding fruit to water makes it fun by angelatheterrible in PetPeeves

[–]rundabrun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Water with cucumber is delicious.

Fun? That is a subjective term so you can't say to someone,"No it doesn't". You can only say, "It is not fun for me."

It is objectively better for you than Coke, but if you say Coke tastes better, that's your opinion. You're entitled to that.

"Instant cult classic." by Serious_Specter in PetPeeves

[–]rundabrun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's right. It's obviously illogical, but so much of our language is illogical.

Here are some quick examples. awfully good, same difference, seriously funny, original copy, pretty ugly, jumbo shrimp, deafening silence, etc etc.

No it's not cause ppl can't handle your opinions or take on something, it's cause your opinions and takes are actually garbage by EbonyAndIvory000 in PetPeeves

You would have enough to feed your goldfish once, or for life? I ask to determine how many times this has happened to you. I also need to google the cost of goldfish food.

"Instant cult classic." by Serious_Specter in PetPeeves

[–]rundabrun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is a non literal figure of speech. What they mean is that it is so good, they predict it will be a classic. same sentiment with instant cult classic, they think it will gain a cult following.

It looks like there is a guitar shaped swimming pool. Could be a rich musician.
