What age is too young...
When I was 5 I would walk "alone" a couple of blocks to Kindergarten, while my mom stayed in our yard and confirmed that I was stopping and looking both ways at streets. They were very un-busy streets but good training. Elementary school I either walked or rode bike about 2/10s of a mile, cop at crossing, no big whoop. By age 9 for sure I was walking alone to Mr. Griffin's store, about 1/2 mile away by road, but I'd cut that in half by ducking down the railroad tracks. Savagery.

What age is too young...
I figured once my boy was strong enough to break the chain keeping him in the pit out back, then there weren't no harm in him wanderin because he was likely the meanest cuss in the neighborhood.

Elonia Trump - how does this all play out?
So all the billionaires suddenly become millionaires?

Gold bug / silver bug / numismatic / metals thread
Since nobody would spend their gold or silver before they spend their fiat money, isn't this just another stab at letting people liquidate their stack without paying capital gains?

Elonia Trump - how does this all play out?
Elon reminds me of one time I went down a rabbit-hole of watching youtube videos about people building life-size stuff with giant Lego blocks. Young trustafarians building houses, functioning cars... sort of interesting but vaguely sickening, I think it was their high-pitched squeals. They squealed. Once heard it could not be unheard.

The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
A Man of Culture such as yourself should have easily recognized the Non-Southern Theater Kids Doing Cat on a Hot Tin Roof accent. I swanee.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread Part 2
I see a real shortage of childhood memories about getting to ride on top of the tool box in the back of the truck. Good times. I'm surprised Daddy didn't give me a cigarette to smoke while I was back there.

San Antonio
I need to take a week and just hang out in San Antonio. Or Mexico City. Dunno.

If this is the direction of MTG's evolution, I wish her a long congressional career.

Paris/Europe in late January?
Paris/North-Central France are quite pleasant in winter compared to the NE US. Maybe a dusting of snow, except by saying that probably I've doomed you to freakish Arctic blasts. Dress like you're going to a mildly cold San Francisco, multiple warm layers, waterproof shoes with soles that don't slip on wet surfaces, a windbreaker, and a thick wooly scarf. If you don't have a scarf on you might as well be wearing a bone in your nose. The climate rewards wearing scarves. Avoid berets with monogrammed names. I saw one beret in a year in France, and that was on a guy who ran a comic book store. But he was bald and the store was not warm. Maybe you can buy one of those tiny French baseball hats with tight-fitting skulls and long bills, giving the impression that one is a baby bird, or perhaps interested in trying Zima. Enjoy!

Seems like that'd be the best reason to depart.

Preparation. If you do even one psychotically violent thing in your youth, you can live the rest of your life being that easy-going friendly guy that nobody fucks with.

I heard they're switching to giant Lego blocks. Let kids do all the work.

Maybe we need an Argentina thread too
We have a small colony here. One lady has a gallery where I show some stuff. If even the tiniest thing sells she'll text me all excited over a few bucks, but I guess that's Real Money back home. Knowing that, I feel obligated to show appreciation for it. I was talking to this other woman, her uncle is a heart surgeon back in Argentina, she says he makes a buck-fifty an hour.

Plastic modeling
I have kept busy doing art and going to shows, and I'm blessed that people buy what I make. But I do find myself missing weekends when I could just kick back and, I dunno, assemble little sailing ships then meet up with friends at a hobby shop and push them around on a table top pretending to be Master and Commander. Of course, weekends came with Real Jobs during the week. Hell with that.

Plastic modeling
Only for 4 1/2 years. I've had 13 tedious things to sort out, so instead of doing that, I reverted to 7th grade and ignored them all while finally adding some red to the seats and curtains on the Vampire Van. And not nice painting either. Sorta blobbed it on like a kid, with just a smidge of shading. But Priming? Sealing? For the cost of primer and sealer I could buy a drink, a candy bar, and 3 or 4 comic books. I forgot why I stopped on it. Maybe something about it taking too many steps. Now I crave taking pointless extra steps on it. Prolly give the red one more coat on the raised areas.

The trick is to do 1,000 drawings. Or watercolors, or whatever. 999 to go!

His wikipedia shows no mention of birthplace or early life. He's hiding something.
