From the outside looking in it’s funny but also not uncommon for US-born (or residing) Hispanics to be called that when visiting their home/ancestral country (as an insult) or within the US when someone else doesn’t feel your living up to some made up standard or Hispanic-ness (also as an insult).

My 7 year-old does not like being alone to a degree that I worry a bit about it. He doesn’t like going to his classroom without his teacher or other adult present. Sometimes he won’t close the door when going to the bathroom at home (it’s gotten better recently, though). When he’s in soccer practice he’s constantly…

Now I don’t like conspiracy theories but none of this makes any sense. Is it possible Ortiz was in some illegal stuff, was in fact the intended target, but the police and Dominican government are sweeping that under the rug to keep up his image?

More of an Aol kinda guy I think.

All he has to do is own some libs on Twitter and we just found the next US Attorney General.

My childhood Burger King made the news! It’s across from Woodhull Hospital... I wouldn’t be surprised if the burgers also didn’t have beef in them.

Drake’s the kid in HS that would happily wear the winning team’s jersey once the series is over, even though they just beat his team.

Brazil had Hulk. Norway has Thor.

I don’t understand the Mexican food stereotype for NYC. I guess if you’re expecting Tex-Mex, you’ll hate it. I hate Tex Mex food. I ate Mexican food in Texas and it was about the same as in NYC. Mexican food in NYC is fine. Will never be as good as my mom makes, but NYC Mexican food is fine. Get your tamales from a…

Not really a hack, but on the NYC subway, the faster you swipe your MetroCard the more likely it is to ask you to swipe again. I notice this whenever I find myself in a touristy area, there is a line of tourists who just seem to have difficulty swiping. 9 times out of 10 they’re doing it too fast. Getting this right…

Clearly Brady sees Kraft as his father-figure. 

Not from New England but I agree. Polar has the right balance of price, bubble amount/size and taste.

Do the Australian commentators always mention that he used to play basketball?

Elon tried but couldn’t appear cooler than a 78-year-old.

Ironic because it was actually after Bin Laden that we started to say “never forget”. 

Not quite the same thing, but any recommendations on kid-level explanations of special effects/CGI? My kids are having a hard time wrapping their heads around special effects in some movies and YouTube videos, and I have a habit of either over-explaining or over-dumbing down.
