Hispanic here, I grew up using “gringo” specifically for people from the U.S. despite skin tone.

Canadians are “Canadiense”, English are “Ingles” but United States? “Estadounidense”? It’s sort of like saying “United Statian” but arguably more “correct/proper”

Gringo is just much faster/easier to say.

That being said this can vary a little from one Latin-American country to another.

Sold to consumers as “immersion” but likely makes money on the back end from advertising.

I also imagine it creates a game preservation issue if there was some sort of disagreement or failure to extend contract. I believe that’s what happened with music licenses so I’m imagining it may be similar with in game advertising?

Full disclosure this is mostly speculation, I’m not entirely sure how all of it truly works.

Great observation and excellent point!

Lacuna Coil, Otep, and Arch Enemy immediately come to mind, but you are correct - feminine representation is a small minority in metal.

As an average person in the U.S. who feels like they’re also struggling a bit after losing their mother, do you have any recommendations on where someone like me can start to seek support / methods for getting better?

I watched the first two Deadpool films but skipped out on the rest of the Marvel films.

Was also lost AS FUCK. Not a great film in my opinion.

I think they were specifically referring to “CD” account, which generally speaking pays more interest than a standard savings account but requires a commitment where you cannot access the funds for a fixed amount of time 6 months, 12 months, etc)

My debian machines usually only have their uptime interrupted by power outages or the like. They’re not my daily drivers, but very stable and reliable.

I have Linux mint on my “daily driver” (used for work and gaming) desktop and I’m also very pleased with it - most updates can be installed without rebooting and it’s over-all a pretty trouble-free experience!

Hope this helps!

To the best of my knowledge, although the U.S. makes “lease payments” on the land the prison sits on, they do not have the authorization of the Cuban government, which in turn has not cashed those checks.

I appreciate your recommendations and sharing the essay!

This is where oligopolies and monoplies REALLY fuck us.

Two out of three parcel carriers most Americans use are on this list.

Nevermind that most people in the U.S. don’t have a say in their internet provider, leaving CenturyLink and Charter laughing all the way to the bank.

As much as I want to believe they subtly put the trans flag in there, shades of blue/green and pink are in line with Floridian aesthetics, which is probably what they were going for.

Just taking a guess though.
