lol first thing I do when getting a computer is wiping the disk and installing Linux.

Is it me or does she look like the Slitheen lady from Doctor who?

Yeah going to go ahead and block you. Your anger has nothing to do with me.

Yes they think that I’m racist but don’t want to say it directly. When I ask why they think that, I’m told that it’s cultural. None of this is very convincing. Honestly wouldn’t it be easier to be direct instead of acting like the bad gf/bf who is mad at you for not divining what they that really wanted for their birthday?

Looking through your 17 day comment history, you do seem to like being confrontational so I’m going to not pay too much attention.

It’s still unclear what you’re accusing me of.

Never seen it but think it came out in the 90s?

Not sure what you’re trying to say.

Those articles are archaic. Very strange to assume that everyone will have seen those and then use them as a vehicle of attack.

This also bothers me.

Asia was never brought up in the conversation. Unsure why you feel the need to misrepresent my words.

Based on username I presume you are speaking from experience and didn’t like it. In any case it was more the giving of money to a genocidal maniac that bothered me.

The air in Buenos Aires aside, It’s really a very clean country.

You deduce that I’m racist based on one single post that indicates that they may want to avoid future attacks from Russia?

This was not really clear in your previous comments where you zoned in on a specific product rather than population growth.

They privatized many of the highways and you have to pass through toll booths every so often as ownership changes. These people provide no service, there are just taking the money. Same with much of the transit—many buses and trains are privately (mafia) owned.

You just reminded me of an art display that went up in a park in Buenos Aires when I lived there. Basically the park is oriented around a fountain with a large circular area of brick around that, then pathways that go to the corners and sides of the square (ie to the sidewalks).

They put up a series of walls in that outer circle that told the story of the Malvinas conflict. What stood out to me was that they referred to the UK not by any name or country reference, they were just called “The Enemy”.

People remember and they don’t forgive.

I didn’t know that this was a thing and a now horrified.

This is the standard political cycle in Argentina, like a giant pendulum. Someone starts screaming about how they will fix everything and gets voted in. Their incompetence makes things worse and the cycle repeats with someone new.

I lived in Argentina for five years. I’ve spent much time since then trying to convince people in the US that you have more rights and freedoms in Argentina. This might be changing now.

This has always surprised me honestly. The global north seems to underestimate just what a huge market that India could be for any product or service based on population size alone.

I was also disappointed in the decision from India to start purchases after the war began, but I suspect that it was more of an economic than a political decision.

More like stopping that from ever happening again.
