I will attend

Wednesday is also half price day at the Palermo Cinemark. Since I'm a goy, I may treat myself to some fried chicken at the mall and an estadunidense movie some time... Get it all over with at once 😜😆

Oh no I meant the other guy with the numbered lists. He seemed quite specific about the exact ways in which he *wasn't* using it... I always appreciated the human-ness of this forum, but it may be no place is free of 'robot text'. So you wouldn't want your own children to have access, if they...

My friend in new York ran a research lab and one Of his assistants ordered too many rats. He tried to talk me into adopting one and said the were a genetic type bred for friendliness. Who knew you could order different personalities? I thought about it a few minutes before remembering I had a...

So you're not using AI at all in these responses?

Is this AI assisted writing? It's so weird to me to have the numbers embedded in 'list form' within a paragraph (as in your first paragraph). Or is that a punctuation style borrowed from another country, or was this auto translated, or dictated? What's you process here? Just curious, it may just...

Aren't most foreign students from Mercosur countries? I thought it was trivial for them to become residents. Or would you make it free only for citizens? I personally don't think the free universities are the cause of the failed economy, but on Reddit there was a spate of anti-university posts...

In the period Argentina has gone from economic powerhouse to 'quilombo', China has gone the opposite way. I thought they'd restrict informal employment and tax evasion but...it seems 50% of China's economy is informal too? That surprised me.

I noticed the timing on that as well.

" In Honduras, ZEDEs are being developed as privately managed, chartered areas with their own laws, police, and courts, backed by figures like Thiel" Seems like Thiel bought a $12.5M mansion in the fancy part of Palermo. Normally that would indicate a desire to stick around, but if you're...

I'm not rich enough for this route (jaja) but it seems the bid to find a company to administer the operation is kind of... well, left to die by the side of the road? This article is above my head in terms of legaleze (and bureaucratic -eze), but it sounds like the government can't even manage...

So why doesn't Edesur (or whoever) do anything about it? Are they not for profit companies?

So how is it that only 10% pays their bills? Are they 'behind on the payment' of an official account, getting subsidies from the government, or splicing a public line somehow? That seems like something the electric company would look into, if it concerned them. When I say 'small potatoes', I'm...

"An Ipsos poll in 2025 found that just 4 percent of respondents in Argentina cited immigration control among their top three concerns, much lower than the 17 percent figure globally." I meet so many people with a nephew in new York or a son in Madrid, etc.. I can't find the graph at the moment...

I asked my spanish teacher years back about the guys who sleep on mattresses, and how neighbors here don't throw them out (which is different than what would happen if a property owner found a mattress on their property in the USA). She said that not all of those guys are homeless, some of them...
