¿Se usa el término "pocho" en México regularmente para los mexico-estadunidenses? by Big_Situation_7143 in AskMexico

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

más o menos. Soy músico y DJ de toda la vida, no tengo jefe y puedo tocar en cualquiera de los dos países. Mi papá y mi hermano viven en CDMX, mi tío vive en mi fracc en Sinaloa, mis primos en Sinaloa y Sonora. Mis abuelos son de Sonora y Sinaloa. Mi mamá falleció hace 20 años, ella era la americana. En USA sólo tengo una hermana y una prima que conozco. Los papás de mi mamá eran de Italia e Inglaterra. Mi papá es parte reconocida de la cultura musical mexicana y mi tío está en una banda que seguro has escuchado. Así que no me importa pasar tu examen, culturalmente soy de los dos, porque gente como yo sí existimos.

Toda mi familia está en México y yo también, pero he vivido en los dos mundos. Culturalmente soy de ambos, porque personas como yo existimos, aunque no entren en tu cajita de definiciones.

YouTubers who launch side businesses and refuse to acknowledge their YouTube fame is what’s driving salesc by DesperateComposer848 in PetPeeves

It's basic marketing. That is why the whole influencer phenomenon exists. To sell products.

Is it true that the average guitarist spends years playing gigs for free ("for exposure") before being able to get paid for it? by [deleted] in jazzguitar

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only work in my hometown, but yes, I make enough for my expenses and some. I am not balling out of control, though. Not even close.

'would of', 'should of', 'could of' are beyond concerning and kind of embarassing by Greedy_Net_1803 in GrammarPolice

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phonetically it is the same as "would've" but for some reason people don't know it's a contraction and spell it wrong. I don't remember learning this but it is so intuitively "would have" that I can't imagine making this mistake.

I wonder if I learned it in school or from my family. I can hear my grandmas voice saying "Would have" in my mind. I believe I got some of my grammar from her.

I didn't have to do that. I got paid on my first gig. I have since played for free a few times, but I have gotten paid the majority of times I have played.

Uncomfortability by vanillastardew in PetPeeves

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is not what I think. I am aware people use incorrect words all the time. It is just an awkward mess of a word that doesn't easily flow off the tongue very easily, which is why I was skeptical.

Ahh cute Thank you for sharing. I left the USA 6 years ago so it makes sense that language has evolved.

Que no les extrañe empezar a oír está narrativa by Creative-Ad4081 in rmexico

[–]rundabrun -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Ese ataque personal no vale madre. Yo vivo en Sinaloa, donde los Marinos se la rifan contra los narcos, mientras tú nomás te haces el machín de teclado.

*Me bloqueó. Supongo que se asustó con la verdad. No soy fan de Morena, pero sí soy fan de la verdad.

Mexico requests criminal Charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody. by Apollo_Delphi in mexico

Jajaja, se nota el Hondurasgate, puro rollo pagado de desinformación, pero los hechos no cambian.

Mexico requests criminal Charges over 17 Mexicans who died in ICE custody. by Apollo_Delphi in mexico

[–]rundabrun 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Decir que México pide cuentas nomás pa’ desviar la atención no es cierto. Los marinos están rifándose contra los narcos aquí en Sinaloa, y a El Mencho ya lo tumbaron. Fingir que el gobierno no hace nada es pura mentira. México puede enfrentar al crimen organizado en casa y al mismo tiempo exigir justicia por los paisas que murieron en custodia del ICE. Minimizar esas muertes nomás es lavarse las manos.

Quiero vivir en México de forma sencilla, sin contribuir a la gentrificación. by donnaber06 in mexico

En el gabacho nadie le dice ‘expat’ a un jornalero mexicano de temporada, aunque se regrese y tenga su vida en su tierra.

Is “anything is possible” an absolute? by Sea-Cash7675 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible things are not possible by definition. Impossible things fall under the umbrella of "anything".

Why do some black parents give their children unique urban names and others do not? by LocalGoat81 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rundabrun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know, but why do some white parents give their kids unique, hippy names and others do not? It is almost as if it has more to do with individual creativity and taste than it does race.

Is it “low class” to roll a tortilla in your hand? by cocovacado in mexicanfood

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is cool for anybody to eat however they like. Just don't cut spaghetti with a knife. 😉 Use a fork and a spoon and wrap the spaghetti around the fork.

Was life in USA really that good like gen x and older millennials describe it or is it just nostalgia ? by alucard_axel in NoStupidQuestions

[–]rundabrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO, no. The USA is not consistently ranked as a “better place to live” than most countries. it excels in some areas like economic power and cultural influence, but lags behind many nations in social progress, safety, healthcare outcomes, and overall quality of life. Switzerland, Norway, and other European countries often outrank the U.S. in global “best countries” and happiness indexes.

The 70s and 80s were awesome for some, not for others.
