  • Hmmm, I’ll try, but most probably I’ll be wrong. Also, I have watched the Latin American dub so I may be wrong about some words:

    There is one episode where there is a new girl at the school, and near the end she organizes a dance. Same episode when Homer started selling fat/lard/whatever. Near the end Marge tries to convince Lisa to attend the dance, and says something along the lines of “we can organize a dance here at home” and Lisa is like “nope, I’ll go to the dance at school”.




  • I feel like I’m the least Mexican dude in Mexico:

    • I don’t drink any alcohol, at all.
    • I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
    • I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
    • I can’t eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
    • I don’t watch football at all.
    • I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
    • I’m not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
    • I hate big family gatherings, while it’s a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
    • I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I’m far from average.
    • I’m not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.

    I guess some of the differences are because I’m autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I’m completely average.









  • You are exactly the type of person I’m talking about 🤦‍♂️.

    The technology of GMOs is awesome, it will help us solve several problems, some related to food supplies, and other problems in different areas like healthcare. We can develop food with more nutrients. Crops resistant to most common plagues. We use it to create insulin without needing to harvest tons of pig’s pancreas. The technology itself is completely safe and full of potential.

    But most uneducated people think that “GMOs = mOnSaNtO” and want to ban all of them only by the actions of a company that no longer exists (yeah, now owned by Bayer, but whatever). And even most of that bad reputation was caused by myths and defamation. Just because one company that developed GMOs was a dickhead doesn’t mean that GMOs are bad, in the same way that electric cars should not be banned because of Elon Musk.

    Edit to add: like with any technology, it needs to be extensively regulated to prevent monopolies or other abuses.
