  1. I may have misunderstood what you were saying. If so, mea culpa.
  2. I lived a couple blocks from a seedy strip joint. When I was about 12, my buddy and I would park our bikes behind a dumpster across the street from the back door of the club and throw big rocks at the back door hoping they would open the door and we'd get a glimpse inside. After doing this for 10 minutes the back door flew open before we could hide behind the dumpster and a big pissed off bouncer dude came out and spotted us. I went back behind the dumpster while my buddy got on his bike and made a run for it back to my house. The bouncer got in his car and caught up to my buddy and cut him. He told him he'd beat the shit out of him if he ever came back. Once my buddy took off and the dude chased him I took off in the opposite direction. We still laugh about it to this day.
  3. One of these traitors getting shot and killed was one of the only silver linings for me on January 6th. I remember screaming at the TV for the officers to shoot more.
  4. Solid both sides there.
  5. It's good to be a man. Kickees boxer briefs ftw.
  6. I got that sense too. She set up a go fund me to hire an attorney for some vague reason and raised $18k already?
  7. NYT story this morning saying Schumer to introduce legislation soon decriminalizing marijuana at the federal level. There are some libertarian Republican senators who would support it but it's unknown yet if they're enough to get to 60 votes.
  8. Where does Cuba get what little petroleum, food, and other resources the government has now that Venezuela is a failed state?
  9. That dude couldn't be more closeted if he tried.
  10. I kind of agree and kind of disagree. I agree that white collar criminals should be sentenced much more harshly at least in regards to drug offenses. Whether that applies to Avenatti's stupid scheme here I don't really have a strong opinion about. He didn't actually obtain any proceeds and he wasn't trying to extort an old lady but rather a multi-billion dollar corporation that just laughed at his hamhandedness. All that said, I think mandatory minimum sentences for many and maybe most crimes, especially drug crimes, are immorally excessive. So I think pushing for shorter sentences across the board for non-violent offenses is a good thing, even if it means douche nozzles like Avenatti get off with relatively light sentences.
  11. I wonder where he ranks in all NCAA sports for number of championships? I'm sure there's someone who's won 20 quidditch championships or something like that out there.

  13. SMDH. I think the prohibition of cannabis is one of the dumbest public policies in world history. But I also really abhor stupid.
  14. I would have told them to GTFO. Seriously. If they don't give a shit about your family's health, why allow them to spend time with your family?
  15. Yep. Both sides in this are morons. She couldn't refrain for a couple months for the biggest competition of her life?
  16. I live and travel from Hawaii so it might be different because of the large numbers of families traveling.
  17. Outside of Argentina/Uruguay parrilladas, I found Peru to have the most interesting food. I spent a couple weeks in Colombia last year and found the food generally good and filling, but not especially interesting. They have some good base campesino soups and plates that most latin countries have some version of, but not exactly exciting. I usually had to salt the hell out of my food and add hot sauce to spice it up enough.
  18. It's a good experience if you're not flying their economy for the poor section in which case they don't assign a seat until you're at the gate. They don't even let you pay for a desired seat if you're poor economy like most airlines do. It's my own fault for choosing the cheapest fares, but at least other airlines usually let economy poors like me pay extra for a better seat.
  19. Those conditions can be prevented with two vaccine shots that literally take a minute? Cool!
  20. Just my opinion, but four nights might be a bit long for Naples unless you're just using it as a base for day trips to Pompei, Almafi Coast, etc... I saw most of the interesting sites in town in a day. It's a rough place so be mindful where you're at at night.
  21. I went to some amazing parrilladas in BA and Montevideo that would blow away American steakhouses for a third of the price.
  22. Agreed on BA and would like to move there for a few months once they open up again. I enjoyed Miraflores and Barranco in Lima, but it's a bit rough outside of those neighborhoods. I went there mostly as a base for visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu. Chile is amazingly beautiful. I went to Patagonia a couple years ago and it blew my mind. Santiago has some cool neighborhoods but is mostly boring compared to a dynamic place like BA. It's a good base for seeing the rest of the country but not a place to linger. Valparaiso is very cool with beautiful old houses. Ecuador has beautiful landscapes worth seeing. I stayed in Cuenca and really enjoyed the colonial architecture. Lots of expats.
  23. Fair nuff.
