  1. Disingenuous? There is nothing insincere in my comments. The term "coconut" literally is "brown on the outside, white on the inside". It's a term that's loaded and does not have one meaning. I understand well the histories of Spain, Mexico and Texas; and the various injustices that have been visited upon populations of the "new world" for hundreds of years. I'm not the one claiming to speak for "my people" and the disparate identities of such. Ethnic groups are not homogeneous blocs. You want to use the words pinche coconut with those you know closely. Hey, go for it. You can use it whenever you want. From my point of view, it's ignorant. From your point of view, my thoughts are disingenuous. We'll have to agree to disagree.
  2. Where do you draw the line on ancestral culture? 10 years? 100 years? 500 years? 1000 years? Or is it arbitrary to boost narrative. Please define "identity" and does this view apply across approx. 40 million people that it could potentially apply to in the US. "Betrayal" of what? The term "coconut" has a major component as skin tone prejudice. It also has undertones of racism where in fact there are none (they're all the same race). Anglo-American "white" cultural hegemony is a very close cousin of the Spanish/Mexican "white" caste system. As an American whose parents were born/raised in Mexico (very humble lives) and came to this country in the late 40s, I thoroughly understand Mexican "ancestral culture". I find terms like "coconut" ignorant. It is especially amusing when you hear it from Mexican-Americans who can't speak spanish. Also see, "pocho", as it relates to our shared "ancestral culture". Unfortunately, these types of discussions are better in person as there are many nuances.
  3. Some don't know their own history. Education is a good thing.
  4. 1970-2021 says hello. I'm sorry this comes as a surprise to many of you. Lack of Championships out front shoulda told you.
  5. How about NFTs ese, that's all I got
  6. She cleaned up nicely.
  7. So, you're saying from four to treefiddy?.... If you are in this space (I suspect most are who post or lurk here), we should hope crude stays $70-80 for a while instead of $90-?. Geo, US, and inside oil players politics/decisions will get more chaotic with oil approaching $100.
  8. Biden comments are a big meh. They're not aimed at people (myself included) that have major positions in companies like XOM, MPC, DEV, SLB, HAL, BKR, LPI, CPE, ET and other private O&G enterprises. Most Americans don't have a clue what's happening in this space beyond pump prices. You can easily find windbag comments from every administration in the last 60 years about how they're for cheap oil. Last Prez said he was gonna make $20 crude permanent.
  9. Correct. Portland talked a lotta noise against the merger. Playoff games were insane in the 70s; especially against Boston, Washington and LA. Sorry for derail.
  10. Last game at Convention Center Arena. If you look closely you can spot me. I forgive you, Chuck.
  11. What you are looking for isn't Hobbes or Locke. It's PeeWee Herman.
  12. This was/is an 8-4, 7-5 team from the start. Anybody who thought differently doesn't understand what's in the locker room. Is Sark the answer? We'll see. Shit hasn't played out yet.
  13. Oblig: Pepper your anus.
  14. Yep. Aggy sealed the deal with this over Akron.
  15. "FUCK your Grackle!"
  16. For shizzle, my bizzle!
