      "copyright infringement" is part of everybody's culture, capitalism has simply taken that from westoids

      Well, yes.

      Anyone remember Taringa! ? I haven't visited that site in a long time, and Pelispedia (which had the latest movie releases, sometimes you could smell the popcorn off the screen and hear kids cry in the theater). And I watch all my anime on either animeflv or jkanime.

      And in Mexico, don't know about other countries, they tried to curb the sell of pirate media in the tianguis... they sicked the AFI against humble media pirates selling their humble wares: mainly mix CDs with a long-ass intro track that spliced every song between explosions, airhorns, and a don with a booming voice announcing the artists. Now they've gone partially digital and fill up USB/SD cards so the old people can listen to their mix with a small USB speaker.

      Edit: no, I haven't listened to Cumtown.

        This is my favorite part of Mexican culture

            Based

            Man I really ought to visit Mexico, but I heard the violence is pretty bad in the North where my parents are from. I wanted to go with my dad in January but I have college lol, and I'm also very obviously American and would stick out like a sore thumb in rural Mexico

            :sadness:

            Not even sure I want to have anything to do with the USA sometimes :sadness-abysmal:

              Yeah, that's the sad part. Violence has gotten bad, specially near the border. I'm gonna head back soon tho, with the wave of femicides I've become worried for my wife and family, and my job (here in the US) fucking blows.

              I’m also very obviously American and would stick out like a sore thumb in rural Mexico.

              That happened to my 2nd-cousin-once-removed's son, they went down to visit grandma. scrawny cholo look, and we were at first like "No mames..." But he grew on us, he'd mainly gesture or tell me in English, after about a year he started talking in Spanish.

              You'd fit in, eventually tho.

              Not even sure I want to have anything to do with the USA sometimes.

              Yeah, I know. Are you feeling better now? A while back, in one of your longer comments (not stalking, eh, I just remember usernames) I noticed a lot sadness.

              Take care.

                in no small part because the corrupt US border patrol agents side hustle by selling guns (which are easy to get in America) to cartel gangsters

    I was daydreaming today about getting my own shawarma machine to make shawarma and al pastor.
