@MarcLobliner A rare time I disagree with Marc. This attitude is why our cuckolded society produces vile women, OF girls, etc. For almost all of human history men have told women that they should be modest. Now we tell them "Sex sells". We've turned into degenerates with no moral compass.
@Llazi_91@Cernovich The referenced exchange involves the Odyssey Book 11 scene where Achilles tells Odysseus he would prefer life as a living servant over ruling the dead, contradicting claims of unalloyed eternal glory."
@ScriptureSays__@needGod_net Yes, if Paul spent 18 months in Corinth imagine how many words he spoke in that time, compared to the written word. Polycarp and others taught directly from the apostles.
@PanSeikilos@yonann I guess you missed the part where she said she invested the money. Do a table with AI 15% * 60 years is millions of dollars even if it's in some basic stuff like an index fund
Nobody tells you this about moving to Latin America long-term...
You stop absorbing your home country's political chaos 24/7/365
โ You're probably not voting
โ Not protesting
โ Not arguing at Thanksgiving
โ Not doomscrolling headlines at 2am

Every news cycle, every family dinner, every group chat, the same garbage
Down south gives you the distance to ignore it all
Fill the time and mind with stuff that actually matters to you and your family:
โ Your kid's school pickup
โ Whether the butcher has good cuts today
โ Sunday asado plans
โ The plumber's ETA
โ Beach or no beach next weekend
Six months in, your sleep gets better
Maybe you start reading books again, taking afternoon naps, your stress keeps dropping
Friends back home think you're escaping something, but they're only half right
You didn't escape a country...
You escaped the propaganda machine built on top of it
