    Tucker Carlson in Buenos Aires

    The cult of Fox News? The cult of Trump? Which one?

    Meeting Americans

    I once had the pleasure of saying to a stereotypical Ugly American in BAires, "You really don't get it...I come here to get away from people like you."

    Only at home. ;)

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    True, but I saw a couple that specifically said no card info was required. In any case, sounds to me like the poster quite possibly deserved whatever treatment he received.

    Argentina's continued collapse by another Redditor in June 2023

    If you have to pay with cash after arrival, how can the payment be "deposited automatically"? And who wouldn't prefer payment in dollars anyway?

    Argentinian women vs English women on a night out

    If you don't care for that comment, you should probably just forget about Argentine women altogether

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco

    The title is accurate - data are given for the Bay Area, in a direct response to your comment. ("...SF bay is mostly men at any rate.") And, FFS...less than four percent male population dominance in the City? Not very significant in a population over 800K.

    What would you bring to Argentina with you?

    Fascinating - I take Tetralgin to the US from Argentina for mine. The most effective OTC remedy I've found.

    And now a judge (in TX, of course) has determined that free preventative medical exams and procedures are, somehow, "unconstitutional". God bless Amerikkka!

    Ah, the wonderful Daily Mail. Never mentioned that it was determined that Bob Lee was acquainted with his killer. Better to just put it off as yet another random act.

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco

    The climate is definitely a factor - let's talk about the homeless in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, Albuquerque, LA, NOLA, etc.

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco

    I had a sidewalk lunch in SF last week (at Tony's), and had my iPhone sitting on the table the whole time. Never worried once.

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco

    I live ten minutes from the city, and go there regularly. I would not wear a Rolex, because I have better taste, but I'm also not stupid enough to leave valuables in the car in any major city. In BAires, public transit is rife with pickpockets. In BAires, criminals are coddled when they steal...

    What is more “third world” - Buenos Aires or San Francisco

    Yep, God knows no great architecture or restaurants in SF, and no incredible scenic beauty. The weather sucks, because it's rarely too hot or too cold, and only 18% of the city's area is devoted to public green space. On the up side, I never worry about wearing an Omega watch, using my iPhone...

    Rat coming up the toilet! Common in Buenos Aires?

    Except that a rat can crawl through the space between the bowl and the seat - but one would probably have some difficulty getting up the side of the bowl.

    Spanish Influencer Blasts Argentina Roads

    "Influencers" are intolerable, never mind the subject matter. Influence this.
