All you have to do is to walk in a legit Casa de Cambios, and tell them that you want to sell your dollars at Blue price. You may fail once or twice, but I bet you will get it at first try.

Ok, that's the point. You were talking about Ezeiza. The recommendations in my original post refer to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery, not to Ezeiza. From Ezeiza, in your situation, I would have hired a car from one of the kiosks at arrivals, or the Tienda de Leon bus that drops you in Plaza San Martin, from where it is easy to call an Uber.

Most Casas de Cambio will buy your dollars at blue price behind the desk. And if they don't, as you said, the gap between the official and the blue price is insignificant for small amounts. The chances to get scammed in a Casa de Cambio are near zero. PS> there is something that does not sound right in your taxi story. If you took the taxi in Aeroparque, you should have received an estimate. You probably hope into a taxi without making the line and following the process. Right?

I am unsure about the situation right now, after the last policy changes. If I were you, I would go to any regular exchange service. Not a cueva but instead a legit and open exchange office with signs and prices on the screen. Try a walk through calle San Martín in the City (start from Plaza de Mayo and explore the first 5 to 6 blocks).

I will always wonder what kind of mental health suffer the friends who think that their preferences are somehow the standard for everyone, and are compelled to belittle others' tastes trolling the threads they open to celebrate the guys they like.

To show my respect for this thread's topic I just went to my profile and shove 30 years out of ny age. I am 32 now.

Of course, I fully agree with you. I was mocking others' simple generalizations.

LOL. A little biased statement. From "my observation" to "the consensus" there is a huge jump. "Most gay men"? I guess you have stats. But it is true, this topic has been discussed up to exhaustion. To my observation, the consensus is that most gay men who are against dropping condoms when on PrEP are suffering from post traumatic disorder after the HIV pandemic back in the 80s.

Vero, ma i pettegolezzi trapelano sempre. I read in the Argentinean newspapers that Prevost was very popular since the first round of votes, and won the last one with 89. The gossip speaks of a very smooth process.

2012 is a long time. People (d)evolve. Even priests. It is too soon to tell, but I think it is good news. We should not expect the CC to become pro gay and pro women, but it looks like this guy may be more moderate than Francis, but singing the same tune. We may see the continuation of the tendency towards a more open and inclusive church. Plus, I am not a one issue guy. His history and his first words seem to be aligned with a socially committed church. I think I was right. Francis was politically skilled enough to build support to his policies within the cardinals.

Recommended reading for the friends who think that human behavior is determined by "Nature".

I am not 100% sure, but I think Re will be in the Conclave despite his age.

If you are interested in the topic of uncertainty vs faith, and the ethical dilemmas raised by the lack of faith in a priest, you may enjoy reading one of my favorite short novels, by Miguel de Unamuno, "San Manuel Bueno, Mártir". I read it in the original Spanish and cannot recommend a good translation, but I would assume there should be good ones as this is a major classic on Spanish Literature. Reading this book was one of the experiences that helped me to be more tolerant and understanding of the religious experience.

When I said "supportive of his policies" I did not mean to"as progressive as he was". I bet you some are less and some more progressive than he was. Bottom line, you are right on one thing. Time will tell.

Are we on synch? I finished 30 minutes ago. I liked it a lot. I've been criticizing the dark side of the Catholic Church and of religion for decades now. This movie hit me like a reminder of the other side. There are many men and women who live the religious experience with depth and sincerity. Now that I am growing older I am starting to be more appreciative of them.

I think this is the right thread for this, also taken from LPSG.

Bergoglio was born in Buenos Aires. Anyway, place of birth is meaningless, what matters is life experience. I addressed that in a post that was deleted and I am not in the mood for self censoring a rewrite.

Of course, right now everything is just speculation, but history proves you are right. However, one of Bergoglio's strong points was his political wisdom. Without outstanding political skills, he would have failed on confronting Vatican corrupted traditional elite. Part of his wisdom is leaving a Collegium Cardinalium with 70% of Cardinals supportive of his policies. There is a very strong chance the next pope will be less progressive than Bergoglio, but there is also a very strong chance he will not undo his reforms.

We are transitioning.

According to a poster in LPSG, this is a cardboard image in yesterday's anti-Trump protest in NYC.

I want to believe you, but quite often you make it hard to believe. Sure. Everyone finds facts to support their stand. I thought you knew that how we interpret those facts is equally important. I am not emotional, I thought I was stating a fact without drama. I think you are too concerned about explaing that you are not a racist. My apologies for triggering you. I was just pointing to what I think was a racist statement. Do you think you do not have racist prejudices? Oh. I do, and that awareness empowers me to fight my prejudices and become more tolerant. I do think that no one would bring "some people" to a conversation without somehow endorsing their views. But I praise you for being so understanding of their intolerance. Uffff, too many assumptions that have nothing to do with my point, and a not very creative way to justify a closed, racist, culture.

Take a look at the LPSG thread. Rather than volunteers to execute him, it is plenty of volunteers to be murdered by being dicked down. There are even offers to smell his farts. But the suicides have a good point. If someone wants to fuck him to death, how do they know that they will be actually the ones passing away thanks to Lulu's superpowers?

IDK whether or not you are racist, but this statement is racist in so many levels. I have to leave it there, as we cannot discuss these topics.

LPSG infamous thread never dies. ARTIST: Alex

why are you wasting our time with this thread?
