What happens there in Argentina should be interesting in the near future. If it is what I think it is, the world will soon find out.

Would you care to elaborate?

He's hinting that since the new Argentine president holds certain political views often attributed to a failed Austrian painter, he thinks there could be parallels between Argentina 2023 and Germany 1933.

And Argentina 1945.

And back to Argentina 70s-80s because this new President denies that all that bad stuff was that bad.

Also, I am not sure you folks know, but having lived in Brazil during the military dictatorship, next to Argentina's military dictatorship, shit happened. A lot.

For example, Argentina Death Flights, where the military would torture and drug prisoners, then fly over the ocean dumping a few of them.

In Brazil there was some in the army who staged false flag operations to blame the left, like the Riocentro bombing. Bolsonaro was a big supporter of these tactics.

Of course the right wants to deny shit they've been doing.

Why is it so (Insert expletive) hard to find and read the recycling number on some bottles?

Some are ridiculously small compared to the bottle real estate available!

The same people who make the list of ingredients so small, who make the tags on bread and print them as black on dark brown, who print best before in brown on purple curry etc sauces, who make prices and sizes and everything else so small on supermarket shelves, the people who reduce prices (complete with new barcode) and nicely position them over the use by date...

To be fair that is a rain radar image not a picture of cloud intensity.

On gold coast on holiday and at the beach yesterday.

Saw a young guy with multiple suture marks over back from recent skin lesion removal at the beach, from the look of things he suffers from a mole condition.

FFS put a rash shirt on mate.

Oh true, but still managed to live under the (more or less) only bit of rain on North Island though.

I lived in Brasil in late 1970s at a kid and I saw some frightening things, parents also took us traveling around argentina...I remember being in a restaurant when a riot broke out outside, gun fire tear gas etc. Owner closed the shutters and turned out the lights so we all ate by candlelight. At about 2am the owner let us out and I remember the sting of tear gas and walking passed burnout buses and cars.

My parents were much braver than I was at the same age. Didnt live in a democracy til moved to NZ where upon my parents were quite relaxed about us walking to school alone strangely enough. (ie Nigerian civil war, Indonesia in Sohato yrs)

One of the things that always annoys me is ppl in nz claiming we are a third world nation (You dont know how lucky you are!). Those who claim thins havent lived in a third world country..

Blimey ! Who gets their lesions removed at the beach? Some people .....

Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

When the digital price tags at the supermarket get updated to show "Sorry, out of stock", except that's not true, evident by the blatant stock I am holding, and now I don't know how much it is because the tag replaces the price with the "helpful" message...

In Palmy we had a recycling bin where you just threw anything recycling into it. Glass was in another container. Here in Whangas however you have to sort everything yourself into the bins at the recycling station for each plastic. I’ve learned to write the number on the item with a vivid before adding it to our stash.

Supposed to be getting a recycling bin next year I believe
