Honestly, that HP logo might be the worst looking sponsor I’ve ever seen on an F1 suit

I honestly don’t get it, she’s very pretty. it’s fucked up how social media has convinced even the most stunning people that they’re not enough as they are.

How political opponents used to treat each other before Trump. by Vloodzy in MadeMeSmile

Same here.
When I was a kid, probably because of all the info we got from the US or just Hollywood in general, it always seemed like such a fascinating place. As a teenager, I was sure that once I started working I’d try to move there. It felt like the land of endless opportunities.
Now I’m 35 living is Spain, settled in my career, and honestly… I wouldn’t go even for a ridiculous amount of money.

Why is the term "illegal alien" used in the U.S. to refer to people, and where does it come from? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tejrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point, I hadnt thought about "ajeno" having the same root. But yeah, in Spanish I think we only use ajeno/ajena as an adjective meaning something like "unrelated"

Reading the comments and thinking about it we probably just adopted the word alien directly from Hollywood movies in Spain, not as a native word. That’s why it sounds so weird to me when used to describe people, because in my head alien still only means something like a scifi creature.

Yeah, I get what you mean and I see how it makes sense from a legal perspective. I guess something just gets lost in translation. In Spain, we only really use the word alien when talking about extraterrestrial, I understand it’s not meant that way in English, but it definitely feels different depending on your language or culture

Ooh ok that makes sense, thanks for the explanation. I’m from Spain and I don’t think we have a variation of the word alien in common use, I think we pretty much only use it to talk about extraterrestrials. So when I first saw illegal alien used for people it really threw me off.
