Everyone clapped. Someone handed over a hundred dollar bill. The name of that Bill? (Bill Clinton/Benjamin Franklin/Albert Einstein)

  • Depends if they can get good work. A few years ago I would have said "hell yeah, if you're on the left come on down", but at the moment with the software industry in the shitter, I'm stuck in my current job which is putting a damper on my perspective.

    As a country, it's great. the political atmosphere goes between center right and mainstream left, we're (hopefully) getting over the bump in the rise of hard right ideals when the center right party was supported by the small fascist party (read more about cabildo abierto) , there is a VERY strong protest and union culture here, and migration is a fairly standardised and easy process compared to other places. You don't need to be a citizen or resident to get a job; the tax system is more than happy to take your money just with your passport.

    I recommend he make some uruguayan friends online and come visit During summer (dec-feb). It's not all sunshine and roses, especially in montevideo (there are homeless people in the city, and it does get called "Mugrevideo", but part of that is that the public constantly expects better.)

  • He’s going to be a byword for “an unfathomably evil guy” soon, if he isn’t already. I would’ve thought “Trump” would be the 21st Century’s version of “Hitler,” but it honestly might turn out to be “Epstein.”

    there's plenty of Nazis to pick for to draw parallels, Goebbels, Mengele, etc.

  • Machu Pichu’s terraces are collapsing from the foot traffic, Venice is full of trash and it’s streets are often impassible due to cruise ship crowds, Mount Everest is covered in poop, Maya Bay had to be closed for years to let the ecosystem recover, the Maldives coral reefs have suffered extensive damage from boat anchors being dropped on them, the list is exhausting.

    I have been a tourist basically once : because my wife wanted to see italy/vatican city. I have been to about 7-9 countries (depends if you count countries I lived in for over a year, or for crossings) . Not only are they robbing themselves of authentic, surprising, unknown experiences, they are, as you point out, ruining existing places or going to places in a state of decay, to which they are contributing.

    I travelled for pleasure, but it usually had a purpouse : visit friends I've met, see musicians I couldn't elsewhere, get paperwork done, scope out possible migration targets. Some of those places were more touristic, but I wasn't there to do that in particular.

    I totally visited my own touristic location(s), or was taken there by my friends though; I took a photo outside of Menegroth thousand caves before it moved from new york (my friend made me go to times square), went to the old center of town in Lyon (I refuse to shut up about seeing secret chiefs 3 live at the best gig I have been to), I saw the little mermaid statue in Copenhagen (and gave 0 fucks, but I STILL bang on about the kartoffelkage)

    My favourite thing to do in london is to get lost. I fucking love the underground.
