mp_en_viaje: never
tried in ro, i don'
tsee
the point of subway-less "public
transportation". i can bus about in my car as well as
they can.
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, in civilised world
there's automated machinery, stuff in bills get day or 3 day pass.

tha
tthing was supposed
to be a

spyked: it gets extra lulzy in
the slums, where once in a while
they bring cops/gendarmes for security, otherwise impossible
to fine 'em
spyked: course, use
the same strategy) on fire

the notion of 'members only'
tram, is so preposterous,
that i suspect outright sabotage, a la 1960s usa (where various skulduggery resulted in
the complete disappearance of
the
tram -- and in certain places , of ~all public
transport --
to prop up 'auto industry' )
spyked:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-13#1913111 <-- in ro it's mostly stupidity,
the
thing's publicly subsidized anyway.
the way local orcs in bucharest circumvent
the member-only
thing is by not paying for it, even
tho it's about a quarter $ per
trip.
then when
the dumbass "controlori" arrive,
they play dumb and complain
that "nothing ever changes in
this country", which sets other frustrated
travelers (who, of

the 'hinterlands' (where imho
the most interesting oddities)
spyked: (also, might only apply
to packages sent from and
to individuals etc.)
a111: Logged on 2019-05-12 17:43 asciilifeform: btw spyked , outta curiosity, didja have
to pay eurotax on
that
thing ? how much ?
BingoBoingo: I assume
the chickens are for some sorta fly god.
BingoBoingo: They
throw
trashin in
the river for
the water one. Leave out chickens for another.
BingoBoingo: They say
they have a pantheon of afro comics characters hey worship.
BingoBoingo: Seriously. If you are sacrificing
to a diety, use fire
to
teleport
the offering
to
the diety's chosed realm. Otherwise Imma have
to assume
the
thing being worshipped is
the flies.
BingoBoingo: Finally figured out who's been leaving dead chickens on
the street corners. Apparently
there's a local Afro-cult
that likes giving flies places
to breed.
BingoBoingo: Saw very few of
them in old country. Fairly common
thing here.
mp_en_viaje: yeah,
this one has a respectable beard
too. kinda funny,
the dog beard.
BingoBoingo: Saw a herd of
three old black dogs in a park
today. But all
three had
the whitest old dog beards I have ever seen.
mp_en_viaje: who could have predicted captivity may
turn out
to be anything but comfortable.
mp_en_viaje: dog was indescribably fucking happy ; and for once in life,
the roles were reversed.
the ingfangdog dun eat as good, who
the fuck has
the sense
to get his pet boiled lamb bones. shop
treats ftw, "civilised"!!!!
mp_en_viaje: except yest, hanbot made an excellent lamb soup ; and nicoleci
took him
the... boiled lamb bones.
mp_en_viaje: after all, happiness in
this world requires one knows his place.
mp_en_viaje: so he's, basically,
the poo relative, dog-socially speaking. but he waits patiently
there, chats up with his friend in dogbark occasionally, it's not
that bad a life.
mp_en_viaje: speaking of which,
there's a very cute old dog a few houses down. he has a friend who lives on
the property, inside
the fence ; but he lives outside, in
this one perma-dry spot under a
tree.
BingoBoingo: Could be
that
the dog doesn't graze
the grass and instead grazes for handouts
mp_en_viaje: maybe
they complain dog doesn't eat oats and hay ?
BingoBoingo: With
the slogan is an image
that's supposed
to be dog face on one side cow face on
the other
mp_en_viaje: what did
they imagine ? it's incomprehensible.
mp_en_viaje: i confess i don't get
the hipster pantsuits derping about "double standards". holy shit, of course yes ? wtf,
the whole fucking point of society is double standards.
the policeman beats him up, not me ;
the cute
teen spreads her legs for me, not him,
the whole fucking point of life altogether is
the double standard.
BingoBoingo: But
then
there's
these retarded animal non-eaters stenciling "Doble Moral" on
the
temples of beef
BingoBoingo: We've got a bit of
that
too here on
the metal roll down gates in
the main drags.
mp_en_viaje: truth is, it's mostly fake grafitti ; after
the original works some [usually small rural]
towns started giving money
to kids
to "grafitti".
BingoBoingo: Romania appears
to have some pretty good graffiti game
though
☟︎ mp_en_viaje: fucking fugly bronzes
the romanians made. possibly
the least
talented statuary, ro bronzes are like anglo-american cuisine.
mp_en_viaje: spyked, shit, i didn't even realise
tha
tthing was supposed
to be a
tv.

This being a republic of men, not law...
The integrity of your privates is important

mp_en_viaje: do me
the courtesy and invite
the fellow over ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i wanted
to leave a "Dear Mr Minor,

to pay, it's however inconvenient for me
to do so at
this moment, i'll hafta ask you folk
to kindly carry me for a little while.

the easiest way
to achieve it is
to just kill everyone"
a111: Logged on 2014-07-07 11:23 mircea_popescu: mola wanted his sons
to go riding in a field where pretty girls labored with
their hands forever.
a111: Logged on 2014-07-07 11:21 mircea_popescu: ay by
the industries of Catalonia and
the Basque Country. For Spain
to be made healthy,
they have
to be destroyed.
The German Chief of Staff Wolfram von Richthofen listened
thunderstruck
then recited
to Mola all
the reasons why it was madness
to destroy a country’s industrial base,
telling him
that ‘I have never in my life heard such idiocy’
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, you gotta get a gram by prescription, feedlot can get literal
tonne.
BingoBoingo: "Chicken in every pot" What
the fuck did
the pot do
to deserve a chicken
BingoBoingo: Brazil is roughly on par with
the US when it comes
to such agricrimes.
BingoBoingo: Supposedly
the imported cattle are going
to be sold domestic market only, but
the fact it so very obviously sounds like a cattle laundering scheme makes
the idea retarded.
mp_en_viaje: get veals, feedlot in brazil, export
to uruguay, keep 3-6 months, bucher and sell as uy non-feedlot.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo,
tbh sounds like cattle laundering scheme.
BingoBoingo: A number of
the policy wank locals find it "problematic" Uruguay's beef is more expensive
than Brazil et al's beef completely neglecting Uruguay's beef sells as
the premium product since Argentina fucked
theirs up.
BingoBoingo: The Indian kind
that
takes
the heat up
there better
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: unsure about
the feedlot part, but Brasil does
the Zebu cattle.
diana_coman: well, Romanians basically had
the germans imported precisely
to build some
towns finally so in
those
terms ruins other
than
the roman ones are relatively recent anyway.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 17:40 asciilifeform: diana_coman: did
they have
this in your corner of ro ? ( when in bucharest, asciilifeform saw also ruins, and gigantic dead factories, but no
torch d00dz , instead all overgrown with vines,
trees
through roof etc )
a111: Logged on 2019-05-02 18:07 whaack: I picked
Tamarindo mostly because of
the convenience of it being near Liberia and having what I initially wanted: a decent nightlife, surf spots, gringo friendly atmosphere
mp_en_viaje: who was
talking about living off
tourist cunny anyways ?
lobbes: growing up near beaches, I got bored of
them fast; can
take em or leave em. and with my pale complexion
the idea of visiting uruguay in
the cooler months actually sounds nice
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Well, if you want beaches November
to Early December is
the
time. Late January on into
the summer heat makes
the cyanobacteria bloom. Late December
to Mid January is
the
tourist high season.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> luzliest
thing in latam, all sorta mini-super << I believe
the sight
that most excited ben_vulpes down here was "Supermercado Winn-Dixie"
lobbes: I may indeed
take some
time in
the next months
to make a
trip down
there at least. If anything
to clear my head and sort some
things out (plus, I've never met another Republican in
the meat, so
there is also
that plus)
