  1. Whole families or groups waiting together with their luggage to pick up a single food order at a crowded airport. You only need one person there goddammit!
  2. I was in a somewhat similar boat. I used Twitter pretty intensively for a few years beginning with the 2020 election. Early last year I deleted it along with Reddit and Instagram. I felt a bit naked (no pics) without the constant barrage of the newest news and opining. After a couple of weeks, though, I completely forgot I had ever used Twitter or any of the social media sites (I'll never quit Surly, fight me!). All that negativity and obsessive need to be in the know took a mental/emotional toll on me. I feel much more at ease not having been on social media, particularly Twitter, for the last couple of years. I'm not saying you should the same, but you should definitely do the same.
  3. Spoiler that shit!
  4. Just a heard a bunch of horns honking and people yelling down on the street next to my apartment in Palermo, BA. I guessed Argentina scored.
  5. What a weird forum. Are they not allowed to say fuck? Every other post has "frick" in it. Fucking weird.
  6. Haleiwa Joe's and Maya's Tapas & Wine in Haleiwa are both really good. Haleiwa Joe's has a really nice view of the water and mountains. There are a ton of food trucks in Haleiwa and close to Turtle Bay in Kahuku if you want something more casual. Seven Brother's at the Kahuku food truck park (it's more of a sit down place with outdoor seating) has great burgers. The poolside bar at the Turtle Bay hotel (it's open to the public) has an amazing view of the water and solid food.
  7. Anyone done a longer cycling tour in the Northeast? I'm exploring a two week scenic ride somewhere in the NH, Vermont, Maine area in September camping where I can. I'm looking at different routes here https://cyclingnewengland.wordpress.com/bicycle-touring/.
  8. Didn't see a topic on the city. I went a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a really fun city with good to great food, friendly people, and some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen in an urban setting anywhere in the world. I stayed in the tourist section of the city where Copacabana and Ipanema beaches converge. Despite being winter, the weather was high 70's to low 80's throughout the week and the beaches were packed everyday. I avoided the favelas and never felt unsafe, though I didn't explore the nightlife. The prices for most things were pretty inexpensive by American standards. The highlights for me were a sailboat cruise with spectacular views of the city and lots of beach time. It was a 9 hour overnight flight from Houston, so not too bad a trek to get there. The trip was a last second add-on to my current month long stay in Buenos Aires where I'm working remotely, but I'd definitely recommend Rio as a stand alone trip.
  9. I ain't going down there. Cold as shit right now.
  10. I'm in Buenos Aires and just heard a bunch of yelling on the street beneath my apartment. I forgot the game was going on. /CSB
  11. I mean, the thumb is superfluous when you think about it.
  12. Poor Ravindra.
  13. This is just Waikiki. There's little to no risk of theft on the Windward and North Shore beaches.
  14. What's the significance for the economy?
  15. Dad?
  16. I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, but why do you think the U.S. probably needs some form of austerity? I'm not being snarky, I'm just curious of that thinking at least in regards to the U.S. economy.
  17. I assume prisons have a detox unit of some kind?
  18. Orale

    LBGTQ

    They sure know how to appeal to Colorado voters.
  19. With all due respect, you're a moron. Biden has been one of the best Presidents of all time. If your "both sides" syphilitic mind can't comprehend why, that's on you.
  20. I drove around Ireland in late November, so off season-ish, years ago. I busted every hubcap on the narrow roads and ended up owing 400 euros. I don't know about credit card car primary/secondary insurance coverage, but I'd imagine it's worth the extra 15 euros a day, or whatever it is, for the body damage coverage at least.
  21. Why isn't there a jerk off neg rep emoji?
