Already did, but will do again tomorrow for you!

All that big middle part with Madrid in the middle? No one lives there basically. Rural life has almost completely died, we even have a name for it ("the empty Spain"). Meanwhile in the Northwest (Galicia and to a similar extent Asturias) there are ten million of tiny villages where people still live and need transportation. I'm surprised by Cantabria ans Euskadi because o would have expected them to be similar.

Mmmhm. All that big empty part is flat, but then if you look at Asturias (hilly af) it's super full of train lines. I really think the lack of lines in the centre is because no one lives there.

There are no mountains at all until 110kms before Gijón, then it gets mountainous af for a while but there are tunnels. The centre of Spain is elevated, but plain. The reason there aren't more railways there is because it's basically empty.

Source: I'm literally on the Madrid-Valladolid-Gijon route right now.

But Switzerland is tiny.

Because if they did no doubt it would work as advertising and some idiot would go "so that's how I lose weight quick! Of course the bad stuff won't happen to me..."

Maybe you should not be sticking a toxin that kills people everywhere unsupervised. Mind you, I know it has great results for stuff like TMJ but it shouldn't be something you can get on sale injected by any random person.

What are those numbers? I doubt there is only 600something songs called Intro...

Went there in 2021 and I remember it being super black and full of ladybugs.

Well. That's sort of what I mean. I know The Yellow Wallpaper is considered horror, per instance, but I see it as historical. Kinda same with The Handmaid's Tale (novel, not tv show). If it's going to be about a woman living what some people might consider a normal life I'd rather not expose myself to it.

I don't know why, but grape and torture are easier on me that things that I know happen every day and are considered routine like genital mutilation.

Ah, thanks. I was afraid the whole story was "sex was painful after childbirth and then I found out they had given me the husband stitch". If it's something more elaborate than that, like "my husband asked and here are the repercussions" I would love to read it.

I have to ask if The Husband Stitch has any twist or if it is just a portrayal of the practice, because I find it happening too often that someone writes about a real, documented thing as if it was some obscure urban legand.

I, too, want to be part of an artist community and for tourists to feed me.

Yeah, but what was the question in Spanish? I wouldn't know how to properly translate that question tbh.

Pretty sure that the people were responding with what they're missing, not with the needs they have fulfilled. Spain is 10x more family orientated than the US.

¿Bebé? La única vez que lo he oído que no fuera a latinos es en el horror ese del bebito fiu fiu. Soy de Asturias y he vivido 11 años en Madrid y 6 en Salamanca...

Papi and Mami are 100% Latin American. It's more normal today because of the high immigration, but anyone would have been grossed out by it 20 years ago (execpt people with a mommy/daddy kink).

Nena for your girlfriend is sort of old fashioned, honestly I've only ever been called that by older relatives and female friends. Bebé for a lover, I've only ever heard it from Latin Americans.

Maybe because it's different enough from Spanish to be memorable? In Spain Spanish you would never call someone "baby" unless you're talking about an actual baby (or a pet). Calling your romantic/sexual partner that has some gross connotations.
