Just breaking free from the monetary chains of capitalism, traveling to socialist realms without a cent to our names. It’s pure romance 😍

Amanda Evans2 said:It gives me a particular sense of satisfaction when, after a few well-placed slaps, the narrative suddenly flips and everything starts looking upside down.
When you transition from spiritual transcendence into pure physical reality, even the most stubborn elements of matter quickly find themselves submitting to the laws of physics.

A superior force, there’s simply no other way to put it.

The strength of an argument 🙂

I agree with my colleague in principle with what was written and that sentiment... live and let live.

Though his specific comparison isn't quite accurate since Samsung produces garbage phones, while Xiaomi outperforms them across a much wider range of models.
The same goes for cars; for instance, I drive an Audi, but that doesn't mean I should consider someone else stupid just because they drive a Kia. It's mindless chatter.

The point is different: if you tell a user that they are embarrassing to read or that they are an idiot simply because they hold a different opinion than yours on various topics, then I don't see why you're whining when someone calls you an idiot for buying a sandwich from $23, purely for the sake of petty amusement and small satisfaction. ☕

Do you understand now, or do you need further clarification? ☕

Just give me some Pampa, crackers, and bananas. 😍

It’s actually pretty nice when you can just forget about the virus for half the day and focus on things that truly matter.

Yes, absolutely.
I really need to demonstrate exactly where I called my colleague an idiot and tried to impose my own code of conduct as if it were some kind of universal standard...
Through convergence, we’re going to strip away everything that doesn't serve a purpose. Go ahead—send me the specific packet where I called you or your client an idiot...

When we can't seem to find any common ground through conversation, perhaps this reductive method might finally bridge the gap... and who knows, it might actually prove to be quite functional...

Forget about self-reflection for a moment, no matter how unsettling that might feel...

restlesssurfer97 said:Come on, Paul Martinez73, quit whining already, you're acting like such a total drama queen. Just take it like a man when someone talks back to you the exact same way you talk to everyone else. Bark bark bark.

If you can handle taking thirty cents in some shady underground deal without shedding a single tear, you should be able to handle a few slaps on this forum.

Where exactly was I whining? Find me one post where I did. 🤷

Look, I enjoy a good debate, and I don't cry when I get insulted, nor do I try to bail out of an argument with cheap provocations. Kmectivo was the one who started throwing shade first, which is why I’m talking down to him... 🙂

My point was that burgers in America are pretty much mediocre everywhere, so if someone tries to sell you a burger for $9 in Washington, D.C., and you fall for it, that’s just pure stupidity. Some of the best burger joints in the World have prices two to five times higher than that. Maybe it'll click for you now... 🤷
Besides, any actual chef would agree with me on this burger thing, but if Amanda Evans2 thinks she's somehow smarter or better than everyone else, that's her own issue. She accuses me of being condescending, yet every single one of her posts feels that way—plus, she adds insults on top of it. It doesn't bother me when people do that to me, but the second it happens to her, she starts crying and calling people out here.

Yeah, as long as you have gold to flex with, everything is fine, but once that runs out, you're straight into survival mode🤣. Food isn't really my priority—I usually just grab something on the go whenever I can—but I didn't even get a chance to check out Boca (looks like a ticket from a street vendor is about 20 euros), which was one of the main reasons I came, let alone venturing much outside of Buenos Aires where things actually feel like authentic Argentina.

So we'll probably need a redo in a year or so, maybe a bit more organized next time, but honestly, it’s cool just to head out when the stars align—when the right group, the right timing, and a little cash all hit at once.

Anthony Wright30 said:To be perfectly honest, it doesn't seem like anything particularly special that we don't already have back home, or perhaps that's just my own biased perspective.🤣

Their wines are excellent and quite affordable... whenever we were in Buenos Aires, we would indulge in meat almost every time, usually paying for two or three bottles of wine and ending up with a bill of roughly 50 dollars.🤣

In terms of the balance between quality, quantity, and price, I think the gauchos might actually be number one.
The women, however, were somewhat disappointing to me; they seemed rather difficult to connect with.

It’s a tough realization to find out that Keyra Agustin isn't exactly the embodiment of the typical Argentinian woman.😁

Though, personally, I think Argentinians are actually quite alright. They have spirit, and I love their accent—definitely one of the best in the world. It’s actually quite stimulating when I start trying to speak the language.🤣

Did you manage to get out of Buenos Aires, Mendoza, or Cordoba?

It's like five bucks for a subscription, you get the basics on here. Missing LL and NN, but whatever, they obviously don't have everything.

Don't mess with me 🙏

It’s almost a chore having to hunt down your "brilliant" posts. From the very start of this crisis, your narrative turned incredibly aggressive and disrespectful toward certain users, acting as if you could dictate exactly what they should write or think. In fact, just a page ago, Paul Martinez73 addressed you with these exact words...

Paul Martinez73 said:You clearly don't grasp the concept of private property, nor do you understand a single word I’m saying.
Your issue is that you take offense like a total coward and start whining the second someone disagrees with you. Then you try to talk down to me with insults like "well, why don't you explain this," while crying about things that everyone else is doing on an even worse level.

The guy above is basically saying he'll head over to Steven's underground sandwich shop, but when I call him out, he'll be right back here sobbing about how I'm lecturing him... Just look at the posts from people like you and the others who just love to whine.

Everything seems pretty clear now. We’re giving you a pass because this situation was clearly caused by outside factors. If there is anything else you need to get back on your feet, just say the word. Despite our differences, we are all comrades here—former Americans, now Catholics and Americans—and we have to stick together. ☕

As a staunch liberal, I am simply appealing for a universal standard of accountability applied equally to everyone, coupled with mutual respect; that is the entire essence of my argument.

The way Jankovic shut down those Q&A questions in the podcast yesterday was something else. And if you do just a little bit of digging online, it becomes pretty obvious that not every single chef is the big deal that Paul Martinez73 claims they are.

I can already hear you, Paul Martinez73, trying to argue that Michelin is just some pretentious, overhyped trend and that "real" chefs are only the ones who agree with your nonsense about burgers being garbage. It’s honestly no different than how lawyers try to twist the law to suit their own narrative.

Oh, and while you're at it, take a good look at those prices too...

To the users at Sportivo, I hope you’re all keeping your hands tucked firmly in your gloves, just as Stopper suggested ☕

Of course, it's behind plexiglass.

Why isn't VB16 under quarantine?

Amoebas are immune to COVID😂

🤦

I'm not even going to bother responding; there's really no point in arguing with you. Yet here you are, trying to lecture everyone and act smug, only to end up crying when someone uses your own logic against you to pull a fast one...

I'm just going to go ahead and block you. You're an incredibly irritating debater, probably using those cheap provocations to compensate for having zero clue about how the world works, and then you wonder why McDonald's parking lots are always full. Just my two cents. Peace.

What’s the standard for social distancing at VB16?

One station 😂

Where did that whole "covidiot" term even come from? It’s basically just a virus that crawled into some tiny little VB16 and mutated into something else entirely.

ruggedjackal46 is being asked which he would prefer: catching COVID or looking like a monkey?

COVID😂

A transcendental force when the spiritual aspect finally merges with the physical realm.

Where is the most likely place for a Barca Fan to catch it?

At the bottom of the curve, 😂

User Amanda Evans2 saw a packed McDonald's parking lot and stood there looking just as bewildered as Lionel Messi staring at the pyramids in Egypt. 😁
