I guess it’s inevitable that the USA must copy China’s approach to managing the internet… the existential crises are reaching a breaking point

I wonder how many Americans, while believing they are a sophisticated culture, understand this is a test of their common existential narrative… which is backward and evidence of an inability to scale given modernity

also, possibly a username problem …

yes indeed, glad you’re attempting to overcome the struggle of life like us all … good luck to you

Sure, it’s always at least accompanied by a good spicy salsa. It’s definitely different from the food further north though. Tacos are there but they’re not as good as Mexico City, for the most part. My absolute favorite thing to eat there are the tlayudas especially from the vendors on the street which you, conversely, won’t find up north … at least not good ones. The mezcal is also awesome and I love a good mole … I’ve still never found one as good as an ex girlfriend’s mom once made me 😅 but what I had in Oaxaca came pretty close

yeah it’s called la calle de los paraguas next to the witch’s market…I suppose they provide a modicum of shelter as well ☺️

yeah good way of putting it 👍

happy to be your hell, good citizen ☺️ I wish you the best

do we have to be burdened by western existential narratives vis a vis Orwellianism that don’t scale? seemingly, yes! society seemingly doesn’t scale gracefully … though China looks better-adapted to present reality

ah, and the challenges to scale once again hit the wall … they’ll have to use AI to police maintainers to keep them from using AI 😂

you have such tact ☺️ I’ll make sure to remember these specifics for the future. I’ll wash my feet and think of you, thanks!

well I’m not sure how making them wetter would have helped. it’s not a bacterial infection… drying would have done the trick

odd looking dumpling, I thought

piss with honor

I think that’s a good way of putting it. Apparently, there are at least six places called “Copacabana” around the world. This is the original one and derives from an Aymara phrase meaning “view of the lake.” Almost all other locations trace their name back to the Bolivian town via devotion to the Virgin of Copacabana … as per what Wikipedia and Wikitravel tell me

yeah I remember that specifically when I was i dunno maybe 7 years old and I did this same thing at a waterpark in TX… it hurts, shocked me

all fun and games until you have trench-foot at the park later in the day (happened to me) … looks like the kid has Crocs on so maybe he’s ok

You’re welcome! 😅 I’m glad you’re enjoying them. I’m from the States, but I’ve been traveling in South America for a little over a year now. I realized that I had all these pics sitting around that I’ve collected and thought this would be a good way to get them seen by somebody. ☺️

Indeed, they’ll take on the flavor of whatever you add to them just like potato chips. Otherwise, it’s just a different crunchy texture.
