It's a small taqueria in a strip mall. Not a glamorous place but the food is excellent.

Thank you for your answers. My comment about Germany was too general and I've edited it to say that I've only heard that from friends of my cousins who live there. Can't speak for an entire nation, obviously.

I have a personal policy that I only drink when I'm in a good mood. Using alcohol to numb pain is the first step toward alcoholism.

Haven't had lunch yet, but I'm going to order two carne asada tacos and a sope at one of my favorite taquerias in a couple hours.

In Germany, for example, I have heard from some acquaintances there that there is no sanitization of history. Students there learn about the Holocaust and Germany's role in WWII. Japan is a more complicated matter; they have had trouble reckoning with their brutal activities in China during the run up to WWII. It's important that kids have a narrative to identify with. No one can deny the role white Americans had in oppressing black Americans. But it's also important to highlight the white Ameri…

Depending on where you live, your answer may be different. I am approaching this from am American perspective, but feel free to add a perspective from your own country. The teaching of history is controversial in the United States, particularly when it comes to topics like race, slavery, and institutional segregation (Jim Crow). What should be taught about these topics in American public schools? At what ages? Should the negative aspects of history be toned down so students don't feel guilt? How…

Body is often the reason for the initial attraction, but that attraction fades if the brains don't back it up. A relationship is not sustainable if you don't connect on a non-superficial level.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting a relationship. The problem is that the "community" is often more about misogyny than making a personal choice. There's a fine line between "I don't need a woman" and "woman are the reason men are pussies" or whatever. These things quickly become more about resentment and anger than community. People often say "why does being gay/bi have to be your identity? It's nobody's business" and I can't disagree with that. I feel the same about this. Don't pursue a g…

I wouldn’t know how to quantify that. I am uncircumcised and never switched to boxers. I would think that after a certain point, the glans loses some sensitivity in circumcised men. Mine is so sensitive if it touches fabric it can be painful. Obviously circumcised men aren’t walking around wincing all day. Lol

That would freak me out, I won’t lie, but it sounds like it’s been for the best so far.

I’ve only dated three people and they’ve been white, but there’d be no reaction to a mixed race couple from my family or friends. It’s not a concern. I do have an Asian friend (her parents are Taiwanese immigrants) whose parents were upset she was dating someone who was not Taiwanese.

In some ways, the Cold War did not end in 1991…

In French: Je t'aime (pronounced like zhuh-TEM)

I think it’s normal for people in new relationships to try to avoid those things as much as possible, but if something does happen and they like you, it shouldn’t matter.

I don't see the gender being relevant here. Having a crush on two people is having a crush on two people, whether they're both of the same gender or of different genders. Yes, it does mean the relationships will be a bit different from each other, but a bisexual can choose between two people the same way a "monosexual" can.

I mean, yeah, we've been together for over a year and a half now, and spent considerable time together (short of actually officially living together, she has stayed over at my place many times). That's part of getting close to someone; can't always hide things that are embarrassing. Doesn't mean you can't have any boundaries, but some are inevitably going to be broken when you bring someone into your life to that extent.
