I feel like I’m the least Mexican dude in Mexico:

• I don’t drink any alcohol, at all.
• I hate to eat hot sauce on snacks. Everybody pours Valentina sauce on everything, but I hate it.
• I hate most common forms of Mexican food (nopales, tunas, etc)
• I can’t eat Chile or spicy things (like mole, or spicy chilaquiles/enchiladas) because of stomach issues.
• I don’t watch football at all.
• I hate most Mexican music (corridos, banda, mariachis, reggaeton, etc)
• I’m not religious at all, while most of the country is catholic.
• I hate big family gatherings, while it’s a common tradition to make big family parties to celebrate everything.
• I have a PHD. Unfortunately the average education level for Mexicans is low, so I’m far from average.
• I’m not a fan of tv shows that people on my age group grew up with them, like Dragon Ball or el Chavo del 8.

I guess some of the differences are because I’m autistic? Also, this deviation from the mean is only mentally. Physically I’m completely average.

That can get violent very easily. “Guess what, you’ll be in the middle of the most interesting war in history because it was the one that caused the most bloodied carnage and most suffering, ever.”

Exercise and diet. That allowed me to lose 15 kg.

For exercise: I bought Ring Fit Adventure for the Nintendo Switch at the start of 2020. That’s the only thing that has motivated me to exercise. Now I even do some additional weight lifting and cardio exercises. This has helped me the most to lose weight.

For diet: I have gastrointestinal issues. Since 2022 I started a diet to alleviate those problems. This helped only a little for losing weight.

Some of the most recent examples: recently there has been a critical shortage of psychiatric medicines. Lots of people didn’t have access to their antidepressants, antipsychotics, and lots of other medicines you can’t skip without disastrous effects. While I don’t use public health care, I still had trouble finding some of my prescriptions. The equipment and buildings are in disrepair, because of lack of funding and corruption. This year there was a scandal because a girl died crushed by a elevator in a clinic. Then they found lots of corruption with the company that installed the elevators. Some weird things have happened, for example, a woman went for abdominal pain and when she woke up, the doctors had amputated both of her legs. Also, it’s common that women deliver their babies outside the hospital because it is over capacity. Etc, etc…

Unfortunately that healthcare is shitty and way over capacity. But still, at least we have something we can improve, instead of just nothing at all.
