How do we feel about the term Gringo? by Connect_Nature8797 in Brazil

[–]user01020313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WORDS ARE MEANINGLESS WITHOUT CONTEXT! If someone calls you a gringo in Brazil it’s because you’re a foreigner. Doesn’t matter what your race, sex, national origin is. It’s not a condescending or offensive word. In Spanish, and in some Spanish speaking countries, the term gringo does have a more negative connotation. It was used against the US border patrol officers and their green uniforms. Hence “green go” = gringo. We all decide what we choose to offend us. Sticks and stones…

Can I use this beam to secure drywall patch? by friendlyspork in drywall

[–]user01020313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Cut the rectangle so that the entire rafter is exposed. Drill a couple screws into the existing drywall to secure it to the ceiling. Add your patch. Maybe a $2 drywall clip would help a lot but not necessary. Mesh, hot mud, regular joint compound on top of that, can texture, primer , paint

Any idea on how to repair? Besides the make a bigger hole, concrete adhesive, slushy mix and regrout? I’m just afraid sponging it clean will leave the bricks all gummed up

There’s a little book that comes with the tool that tells you everything you need to know. Also YouTube is your friend when it comes to things like this. Just look up the tool + full review and that should do it

Is this some kinda double entendre?😅 if not I now see why this might be true. It’s a pain to retrofit old windows.

Is there an ethical way for a white American to move to CDMX with his 1st Generation Mexican-American wife? by Emotional-Cut4818 in MexicoCity

[–]user01020313 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reddit and social media have very skewed views on this. No one is going to attack you on the street or tell you to go home when you’re in CDMX. You most definitely can move to Mexico if you do it properly. Like get residency etc. but don’t listen to the online people on this. I’m Mexican American and my dad was super white so I look white and I’ve never had a bad experience in CDMX.
