C'mon, I am adorable!

Do you think he is wearing a sign?

I may need to apologize to my neighbor for calling them homophobe after they told me they would drop some fa--ots on a fire.

That is precisely why I highlight this challenge. It is easy to say that we should separate facts from opinions, but not so easy to actually do it.

I have no doubts about offensive language. But the challenges of regulating freedom of speech are complicated, specially in the global cloud era. I think most people would agree that inciting to physical violence or crimes should not be allowed. But how do we manage disinformation? So I am also an ardent defender of the 1st amendment, depending on how much it hurts.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I totally agree. Of course, the change in the business model would be just the consequence of what actually shocks me: this has happened only once, and @Tony_tx has apparently lost faith in humanity. Perhaps it is just the frustration speaking. What happened to you, @Tony_tx is sad and I hope you will not have to experience this again. However, I think you should cool down, think, read carefully this thread where several friends offer you very good advise, and then make a decision about whether or not you should change your business model.

What an eloquence to make clear that you do not understand what sexual assault is.

I find interesting that the same guys whining about woke intolerance, cannot accept that some of us may understand queer not like them.

I have mixed feelings about this proliferation of identities. On the one hand I share some friends' concerns about the potencial divisiveness, if we understand these labels as rigid identities with conflicting interests and needs. On the other hand, I find much to celebrate in this diversity if we move away from the rigid mindset. Many of these labels, rather than frozen identities, describe options many of us navigate.

LOL. And you think that you are speaking of them.

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS

That's why I would love if we move away from the alphabetic acronym system and we just switch to the simpler and more inclusive Queer. But then again, the issue is not the flag, but the fact that too often we seem to hate and discriminate against each other.

THANK YOU! I always wonder about that. Do you have a more reliable source?

Any migration plan is challenging, many people fail and return to their country of origin or remain unhappily surviving/thriving in their new country. If you plan the move for after retiring, I guess the challenge is even greater as you are old and less flexible and able/willing to learn. At any age, transitioning to a new culture is difficult and requires a special character and personality, imagine once you are older. By the way, there is a resource for expatriate that I am not sur you all know: Cost of Living Comparisons, 2024 data. WWW.EXPATISTAN.COM Cost of Living comparisons for thousands of cities. Fully up-to-date cost of living comparisons, including prices of 52 products and services. I specially like their cities rank: Cost of Living Index. Updated Jun 2024 WWW.EXPATISTAN.COM Jun 2024 Cost Of Living Index. What are the most expensive, and the cheapest, cities in the World?

Really? You do seem interested in the soap opera.

I am right now starting this transition. I will work for sure one more year in the US, I just signed my new contract. This year, I will be teleworking from Argentina from mid November 2024 to mid January 2025. After June 2025, my future is blurred, but my goal is to switch to a full teleworking contract to work from South America all year long. Otherwise, I will be retiring earlier (I turn 62 this October) and moving back to Argentina. My home base would be in Corrientes (Argentine NE), and would be much closer to Brazil and Colombia to spend part of the year in those countries.

I still do it! not bcause I m a niggard but bcause m la-c

If you were able to stay focus on that issue, instead of using it as an excuse to discredit an entire civil rights movement and to spread your distaste for other people's bodies, perhaps we could have a conversation. If your children witnessed sexual acts (actual sexual acts, no "ugly"people insulting you with their ability to be joyful "despite" their bodies), you have a legitimate concern.

My apologies. You do know what you hate the most. I am sorry, it was difficult to discern among all the florid adjectives. Perhaps you should move to Texas or Florida. This is America, we can move if we do not like where we live.

It sounds like you would feel differently if they were hot men and women and not saggy lesbians and hairy fat men. Clearly, you hate something/somebody. But you hate so many things/people that it seems not even clear for you which one you hate the most.

I would go for him without hesitations if he was at reach.

I adore Eric. Would you share the fee you paid, please?

Read carefully my sentence. It is a conditional sentence. If the conditional clause does not apply to you, I am not talking about you. Have you heard of the "impersonal you?" I am not triggered, darling. Thicken your skin, not everyone disagreeing with you is triggered.

Drug abuse is a serious issue in the circuit party, but not only in the circuit party. It is out of control not only in the US, it is even worse in Europe, and unfortunately South American big cities are also catching up.
