No solo es acosador, ahora también salió ratero.
Aquí Stephen Nothum explica como un conocido influencer de cine mexicano le robó su análisis sobre Hereditary.
Pero ni se preocupen, como lo dije cuando el caso de acoso: en 5 días esto se olvidará también, porque el número de followers siempre importa más sobre cualquier otra cosa.
Cuando estás manipulando a 4 mujeres, ilusionando a 3 y ghosteando a 2.. pero recuerdas que antes eras ese hombre enamorado que hacía todo por 1 sola mujer
"Mexicans are inefficient AF"
I agree 💯
As much as I like Mexico after 8 years and counting living here, it is one of the main problems you notice
You get to a point living here where mentally you need to be at a place where you think to yourself:
"If I let someone with down syndrome handle this task, how would he likely fuck it up?"
That's how it sometimes be when paying a local in Mexico to do something for you
Where you get used to thinking ahead of time how exactly is he going to mess things up and what can you do now to either help him not fuck things up or navigate around the stupidity or laziness you're going to face
And even after 8 years here, there's still occasionally a new way the locals surprise me in what stupid shit they did
As to why people are like this?
It comes down mostly to the following (though not every Mexican is like this):
1) A lot of people are poor and have a poverty mindset and will try to save a few pesos at the expense of offering such a shitty service that they lose customers
2) A lot of people aren't smart enough to think long term or that actions have consequences
Sometimes they don't even seem smart enough to know how to respond to a customer inquiry about a product
You send a message on WhatsApp complete with name and what you want.
They respond with "hola" and won't respond again until you do and then they'll ask you "what do you want?" despite you already having explained
3) A lot of people here half ass everything. Many don't take pride in what they do
4) A lot of people are overworked (especially when you factor in commute time) so naturally they're slower at doing things from being tired
There is a correlation between how many hours someone has worked and how they become less productive per hour over time
5) There's more scammers and less protection for those scammed
6) Much of the consumer base has lower expectations and are tolerant of shitty results. They're used to nothing happening if you complain or, in worst case scenario, things getting violent if you complain
Though the amount of tolerance a Mexican has for shitty results is pretty well correlated to how wealthy they are
But given most Mexicans are kinda poor, you'll see high tolerance of stupid shit more commonly than not.
This reminds me too of how on occasion gringos will visit Mexico and be appalled by how classist and aggressive the wealthy Mexicans are to those working for them
Yes, there is classism and at times it's not justified. Quite often locals take it way too far
But when you live here long enough, you start to understand the aggressive behavior of the wealthy Mexican and why he treats his employees like slaves
Why is he such a hard ass to his cleaning lady or whoever works for him?
Because if you aren't checking and double checking their work and even pestering them a little, they'll simply not do the job properly or at all
It's like you got to whip these people to stay on their ass because if you stop checking up on them for even 5 minutes, they'll try to spend an hour on Whatsapp
And look, I just want to clarify again that I don't hate Mexico or Mexicans. Not all Mexicans are inefficient
And every country on the planet has problems. Even the USA. No place is perfect
But there's nothing wrong with pointing out the faults of a place, especially when giving advice to others on how to live there and what to expect (such as when trying to plan a wedding)
And in fact, Mexico and especially CDMX are not as bad when it comes to inefficiency as what you find in most Latin American countries in my experience
It's one reason why I loved CDMX so much when I first arrived here
The average local doesn't LITERALLY have down syndrome (unlike in places such as Bolivia or Nicaragua) and the average local is more efficient than what you find in most of the region
Mexicans aren't as great as Chileans for example but they could be worse: they could be fucking Guatemalans. It's MALA for a reason!
So going back to the main point:
Want to live in or do business in Mexico or Latin America?
Get into the habit of learning how most commonly people screw things up here and learn how to navigate around it in advance
Always expect the worst. Because sometimes the third world will fuck you harder than how Mia Khalifa gets fucked if you don't
Jajajajajajaja se ardió el generación de concreto. Rianse todos de él. Larga vida a Selmx. Y por cierto, no fue ayer, fue hace dos semanas, o sea que le caló durísimo que no ha podido dejar de pensar en ello.
