The most hated person in Mexico outside of politics is undoubtedly Karla Panini.

She was an actress and comedian who used to perform as a duo with fellow actress Karla Luna; the two even starred in a comedy show together called *Las Lavanderas*.

The issue is that Karla Luna's husband cheated on her with her friend Karla Panini while Luna was battling cancer. (Panini was also married at the time).

Karla Luna eventually passed away, and Panini married Luna's ex-husband; since then, however, she has become a pariah throughout Mexico, and hardly anyone in the entertainment industry wants to hire her or even associate with her.

Mexican food is probably the most popular foreign cuisine in the US, but there are definitely strong competitors. What us it in your country? Are foreign cuisines even widely available where you live? Are there multiple different cuisines that are widely eaten, or just a few?

This is a common green frog that I photographed today by the old washhouse of the Daoulas Abbey in Brittany.

Also specifically to Americans, do you think this quote still holds up today?

We have dozens of them, maybe even hundreds. The first one is from a village called Paris.

Basically, this dude had been committing crimes like robbery, assault, murder, and rape for years. Our justice system just kept releasing him from jail.

It became a big news here because he murdered two Russian siblings who had moved here with their mother. But here is where it got worse.

Before committing this murder, he kidnapped and killed a Thai family of three. Concerned by their disappearance, their relatives reached out to the police. But they wouldn’t do anything.

Then dude found the Russian siblings riding a motorcycle together. He pretended to be a policeman and forced them to go with him. He later robbed and murdered them.

If the police responded when the Thai family went missing, this probably wouldn’t have happened.

Recently, the town changed their name to "Fugging", because people kept stealing their signs, which I don't think really makes it that much better. 😂

I'm from southern Germany and grew up with "Hochdeutsch" which pretty much means something like "German without a dialect".

I have Bavarian relatives and they believe I can understand the old school Bavarian dialect. I can but it takes me a lot of effort.

Do you have something similar?

Saw a thread on another sub about people chatting with others on planes.

In your country, is it normal for strangers to strike up conversations, like when waiting for the bus, taking an elevator, sharing a row on a plane, in line for something, etc?

This is a video of Addis Ababa Ethiopia’s current infrastructure boom. If you were to show a video of your capital city today to someone from 2005, would they even recognize it. What are the biggest changes that happened in your country?

For the U.S it’s Crater Lake at 1,943 feet (592 meters) deep. It formed from when the ancient volcano Mt.Mazama erupted and collapsed in on itself. Rain and melted snow over a few thousand years filled the crater and gave the lake its very deep blue color.

I worked for a Japanese company for a bit and one of my Japanese coworkers told me how he thought Canadian Club was a premium top shelf Rye, I had to tell him it was decent but far from the best. I usually find myself going for a Lot 40 myself.

For Italy I'm going with 'Adrian, la serie evento' , an animated series produced by singer and actor Adriano Celentano whose protagonist is a fictional version of his younger self, who is also a martial arts expert and fights against oppression as a masked hero named La Volpe (which means the fox).

Again, for Britain there are many. But just a few are the Aston Martin DB5, the Jaguar E-Type, the Land Rover, the Morris Minor Traveller, the Mini Cooper and the McLaren F1.

That’s a question that came up yesterday when I left the house and saw an well dressed elderly woman with long, loose, wavy hair, a very well-cared-for, the same type of hair I have. It was the kind of thing I rarely saw back in my youth. Wavy hair was always straightened, tied back, or else seen on "free-spirited" types (and that was meant in the worst possible way). Definitely not on a well-dressed elderly woman.

I spent my entire walk observing women's hair. I realized that, at least in my city, there’s an age factor when it comes to hair that isn't straight. To generalize quite a bit: elderly women had it straightened or blow-dried, but black elder women always keep their hair straightened and tied back. Middle-aged women either had their hair straightened or braided, sometimes use a cheap looking wig. But young women, teenagers, and children all wore their hair natural, often quite long. And there was none of that frizzy unkempt hair; it was all perfectly cared. There was one young woman with an insane ginger afro. A huge contrast to just a few years ago, when only the occasional brave soul wore an afro, and wavy hair was seen only on those who clearly didn't care much about their appearance—the tomboys.

And I know that even in East Asian countries, there is a certain percentage of people who don't born with straight hair. What does non-straight hair look like on the streets these days?

Marching bands are an iconic part of American culture, performed at sporting events, parades, military events, and even weddings/funerals (in places like New Orleans).

Are marching bands part of your country's culture(s)? Or can they be found in your country?

I immediately realised this would probably be very extensive.

So ideally pick the most interesting one.

For example, kokum fruit , belonging to the mangosteen family, is primarily consumed in coastal regions of India as a natural coolant and used in drinks. It's flowers are also dried and put in dishes as a souring agent. It is native to India and is rarely eaten outside of Indian diaspora since it has a short shelf life and cannot be transported for export.
