    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    I just asked Google, "Who constitutes an evil cartel of billionaires?" And here's the AI answer; "The concept of an "evil cartel of billionaires" is largely a subject of, or reference to, conspiracy theories, fictional narratives, or, from some perspectives, critique of extreme wealth...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    How does anyone here "deserve to be relieved (perhaps more precisely "shielded") of (from) even a glance at these comments" (especially this one)? PS: please forgive me if I come across as young and brash. As of tomorrow I will only be 75.666 years old (exactly).

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    I wonder if you bothered to watch any of the YouTube videos that I included in my previous posts. What's happening in Minneapolis is not a grass roots movement. It's a very well planned and well funded movement with one goal in mind: get control of the US Congress in the mid-term elections and...

    I need to vent. Fatal shootings in Minnesota

    Some threads are occasionally "closed to further replies" especially when some members start making personal comments directed at other members. Anyone who doesn't want to discuss this issue is free to ignore it. Even though the first post began with a false equivalence, I find the comments...

    Western Union money transfer

    I have been using WU since 2019. I recently was asked to provide a declaracion jurada for the recipient (me), but I don't think I was ever asked for my US passport number, with the possible exception when I first opened the account. I only remember providing my DNI. All of my transfers to myself...

    Anything new with IRS stuff?

    Here's what Google AI has to say about this: "Foreigners (specifically defined as U.S. citizens, green card holders, or resident aliens living outside the U.S.) are required to file Form 8938 in accordance with FATCA each year if they meet specific, higher reporting thresholds for their foreign...

    Student Visa vs Rentistsa Visa

    As far as I know, the biggest difference is that the visa rentista and pensionada require steady and passive monthly foreign income, while the student visa only requires "proof" that you have enough funds to support yourself while you are a student in Argentina... ...and the visa rentista is...

    Visa Runs vs Rentista Visa 2026?

    The reason it would not be a good idea is because border agents cannot "overide" a prorroga and grant a new 90 day permit. The extension from migraciones would remain valid until it expires.

    Visa Runs vs Rentista Visa 2026?

    I'm not sure if the rules regarding tourists have recently changed. The 90 day tourist permit for individuals from "visa free" countries can be renewed once at the office of migraciones. Without already having been granted an extension, a"visa run" to Uruguay or a trip to Chile, Paraguay, or...

    Visa Runs vs Rentista Visa 2026?

    You can probably wait to apply for the visa rentista closer to the time your 90 extension expires. If, for some reason, the temporary residency is not granted, you may only have whatever time is left on the extension before you have an overstay, and making a "visa run" at that point would not be...

    Visa Runs vs Rentista Visa 2026?

    The lawyer who told you that you can qualify for the visa rentista didn't tell you that you only become a tax resident after the first full year of temporary residency? If I understand correctly, if you don't apply for a second year of temporary residency, you will not be "too immersed" in the...
