  • Oh, just to clarify, I didn’t go to South Korea, LOL.

    Somehow one of those busses made its way here[1]. We import a lot of trash, like literally, vehicles with too high of a mileage to sell in your local market? We got you, we’ll take them and use them for another 20 years. Lately we’ve been importing a lot from South Korea, you could stick your head out of the window at any given moment and see a couple of Hyundai Sonatas.

    1. The Dominican Republic.








  • A lot of people saying white + male, I’m not white but I’m light skinned in a country where colourism is a social plague, random people literally call me “whitey” and “blondy” despite me literally having a black mother, when I tell them I’m not white they reply “yes, you are”, and I’m like “OK, mfer, apparently you know better than me to what ethnic group I belong”. Can’t say I haven’t benefited from it, the police has almost never given me shit (they did once to be exact). I’m also a heterosexual cis man, and even tho I was born and raised in the poorest district of a big city my father always told me to cultivate my intellect, so I learned multiple languages (English being one of those), went to community college, taught myself software development, etc. I didn’t have the biggest head start in life, but compared to my friends in the hood, and women and immigrants across the whole country I simply cannot complain.



  • Most comic fans do take the piss out of everything, I don’t even read that many comics and after seeing Captain America Civil War was disappointed AF, it was not only a water down version of the storyline, it was so different and the stakes were so low that made me ask myself why would they even call it Civil War to begin with.

    Why I’m trying to say is that reading the comics will only make you hate more this adaptations, they rarely do justice to the characters and storyline, although that’s kinda OK since they are two different mediums.
