  1. Based on your experience, what would be the best time of year to visit Buenos Aires? I know very little Spanish, so would it be a challenge getting around, visiting museums (any English translations for exhibits?), or eating out? I don't want to be a tourist that is disrespectful by having an expectation that things need to be catered to my ignorance
  2. I agree that some things are more challenging today than they might have been in the past. Much of it can probably be linked to the pervasive use of social media to measure one's worth and value. One big issue that GenZ has to struggle with is that they will generally need to pay a larger portion of their income for basics like housing, compared to past generations. Though part of the problem is that many young people are not wanting to start out low on the property ladder - a lot of young people think they should be able to enter on a higher rung just because a young celebrity lives in a $10m house. Or they expect to live in the most desirable and least affordable parts of their city from the get-go. Older generations know how to make sacrifices and patiently work for a goal without any guarantee that it will be achieved. I rarely see people in their 70s and 80s trying to hang on to their job - in fact, most of the people I know are trying to retire by 55. GenZ people have good qualities like every generation, but their propensity to give up easily when confronted by challenges (because they are used to being labeled 'winners' for simply showing up in life) makes it hard for them to use the positive qualities they have in a meaningful and lasting way. It's not that they are inherently different than previous generations, it's that many were raised with kid gloves and with unrealistic expectations of life outside their comfort bubble.
  3. Could be the same person, but one ad says he's 5'7" and the other says 4-inches taller... not that such inconsistencies haven't been seen before.
  4. Wow, that's pretty advanced for a first time. Was he even able to walk afterwards?
  5. Was this one of those airport massages? lol
  6. What does boyfriend-sized mean? Excuse my ignorance...
  7. It shows he knows at least one of the cardinal directions...
  8. Isn't OF just one more way to be a social media influencer?
  9. I see the name 'ConnectedBodies' and I naturally assume these are the guys that will show up...
  10. Great photos - thanks for sharing your fur and feather family!
  11. A less well-known quote from the great man... "Success consists of going from massage to massage without loss of enthusiasm."
  12. The Humboldt Broncos crash - 16 dead if I recall correctly. Horrible, horrible tragedy.
  13. Sounds like he gives you an extra Lomi, rather than just one.
  14. He seems to be in Brazil, so maybe the name will change to Carlos Capybara? His profile has a number of photos of his anaconda.
  15. I thought you might choose Ronald McDonald
  16. @Vegas_Millennial at least we know you're not tongue-tied. Some of those were on the tip of my tongue, but you beat me to it.
  17. No desire for the three Bears?
  18. That is worrisome. It's concerning when someone doesn't know their own name.
  19. I wonder if he does 4-hand massages with a provider named Meet?
  20. A further issue that I've encountered is that Gen Z people seem to lack respect for authority compared to previous generations. This makes it much harder to have any positive influence in their lives because they tend to disregard opinions and guidance that challenge them. If there is any chance they may be triggered or offended by an employers constructive criticism, then the employer's efforts will likely be for nothing. It's quite pathetic.
  21. I was really only making a play on words with my comment, but I guess it came across as more serious than I meant it to be. I've publicly exposed myself with this admission.
  22. Hmmm. I don't see it that way. If I was an employer, the last thing I would want to do is re-parent a young adult whose parents raised them to be spoilt, self-consumed, and completely unrealistic about their expectations of the real world. A manager can help train a person for the position they are working, but things like respecting others, learning to live with failure, and keeping one's head out of one's own ass, are things that need to be taught at home.
  23. I wonder if his private gallery has pictures of his trident?
