Well, I think maybe that’s a reason I like this picture. It makes Lima look so cozy like a beach town. It is a big, crazy city but it has lots of really lovely nooks and crannies.

God bless her 🙏 this is how we build Americans

I wish I understood … the second amendment has been completely defanged as it was intended for militia groups. since the government is so effective at squashing solidarity at scale, we’re left with idiot kids shooting up our schools lone-wolf style … and that doesn’t take into consideration the gap in technological prowess vis a vis the US military. I suppose it’s effective propaganda to have such a narrow perspective.

In case we’re not aware already, these companies are building faster and bigger than the market can keep up with. They’re expecting a tremendous fallout likely within the next several years. The companies that remain will dominate this market indefinitely… for better or worse

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

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

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 ☺️

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

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. ☺️

grotesquely apathetic, actually

The people who avoided drinking water in favor of beer? No, I doubt they envisioned widespread government-sponsored clean water systems in the first place let alone the society we’ve since become unable to maintain such systems. Enjoy your obscenely expensive bottled dead water.

I’ll be happy for the day people stop believing foss is a story of ethical philanthropy and instead understand its macroeconomic value to consortiums who need technology that isn’t owned by a monopoly.

That’s the old cyclic karma of the Abrahamic, no? … It’s always the end times
