I was talking to myself and we decided that we really like @mike carey's contributions in this thread. But we wonder whether everyone is understanding them.

The demise of kindness and respect? What the fuck are you talking about?

Everything is at that level. If you are following my travel log, in my last post I mention a meal at Alto da Sé, in Olinda. This is a touristic hot spot, so of course the restaurants there are overpriced, specially the one I chose, with an astonishing view of Olinda and Recife. I had a spring water, a huge chicken dish, a generous dessert and one of the best coctels I have tried over here, and my bill was less than 20 bucks.

The ones playing the victim card are the ones complaining about wokism. Women who cannot command on their own bodies, or who cannot even travel to another state where their rights are respected are not playing the victim card. They are victims and they are oppressed. The hypocrisy of stating that different values should live together in a diverse country when you are actually imposing your values on others is obvious. No one forces a woman to practice an abortion if she is a Christian, but Christians in government are forcing their values into everyone. But it is OK, of course you do not see the threat of Christian theocracy when you agree with it.

Respectfuly, I think you are the one living in a fantasy. That women have lost fundamental rights is a fact. That adults cannot freely access porn in many US locations is a fact. That books are being banned in K-12 libraries is a fact. That the government is attacking educational institutions and operating in their curriculums is a fact. That history is being rewritten and museums intervened is a fact. That freedom of press and expression are under attack are also facts, although those rights are still surviving. That all these attacks, some successful some not yet, are inspired by Christian values and organizations is a fact. Praying is coming back to American schools. That you do not see the advance of Christian Theocracy is also a fact, but I do not think mines are fantasies.

Dear Americans, after whining for so many years about Muslim bigotry, get ready to suffer the consequences of Christian theocracy. Women already lost the right to choose over their own bodies in many states, not only them are under siege but also anyone who would help them to get an abortion. Pornography, freedom of speech, and gay marriage are next.

An intelligent Christian is like a sober drunk, theoretically possible. 😇

I am not a friend of religions, of any of them, not even of any kind of non racional beliefs system. However... do you not think that we all are complex and contradictory, and we all have behaviors that conflict with our values and beliefs?

I never liked Maddox, but after all those plastic surgeries my dislike has devolved into disgust. Of course you did not recognize him, who would?

You think? I thought I was a forgetful slut, but you made me feel in good company.

I continue my post-retirement slow traveling journey. Today, I am starting my third week in Recife, my first time in the Brazilian NE. By the way, I just realized I did not open here a thread for Salvador. You can check that travel log in this thread in Gayguides. I am having a great time, and you can check more in detail my adventures and misadventures in this thread in Gayguides. So far, I love the city but I am longing for the saunas and the men from Rio and Salvador. My apologies to everyone and to the moderators for not duplicating the threads here, but hopefully we all are sisters and there is no issue on sharing traffic. If there is any, please let me know. I am impressed with Termas Boa Vista, the biggest local sauna and reportedly the best gay sauna in Brazil. I just published a full report in my new substack. The venues are amazing, and you can hardly find a better place to have non transactional sex. However, the GPs scene is not my favorite and in general I find men here far less attractive than men in Salvador, Rio, and São Paulo. Prices are ridiculously low. Drinks are cheaper than in a regular bar, and the best suites are only 40R and you have them for a full hour (in the other cities you have the suites for only 40 minutes). GPs' prices are similar than in Salvador, slightly cheaper than Rio. Locals pay between 50 and 100R. I could get a programa for 100, but I am paying 150 and the guys are extra happy and engaged. I will be here until November 6th, and then I have to leave Brazil or ask for an extension for my visa. I will be moving to Medellín, where I will stay until December 15th. My original plan was slow traveling for 2 or three years, but I do not think this is the life style for me. At the moment (I may change my mind), I am planning to travel until June 2026. In June I may return to DC to attend graduation at my last school if the World Cup allows me to. And then I would return to South America to find my new home. Right now, there are two contenders left: Rio de Janeiro and Medellin. I think I want Rio to win.

Always from LPSG, I thought this one was more appropriate for this thread.

I got a five.

You should ask in the proper subform at Gayguides.com. You'll have better chances to find someone who hired these guys.

I use cash to pay the boys, CC for everything else. I recommend a chain of ATMs called Banco 24 Horas. You can withdraw 1000R and pay a 24R fee. Just remember to reject their exchange rate when the ATM asks you.

Humanizing Luigi

Fuck yeah

Unfortunately, we cannot create surveys in this subform. So if you want to have a little bit of fun, reply stating which one is your fav picture. Mine is #4. I feel like he is looking at me with admiration.

Well, I only imported the image, but of course in the LPSG thread it came with a prompt asking you to choose your favorite one. You just gave me an idea, I will open a new thread.

The poster in LPSG rightfully observes he now looks buff.

Of course, from the infamous LPSG's thread.
