@s_chiriac There is a literal Billing button.
The directory still gets SEO traffic and return visitors who enjoy browsing it.
I can't market it like I used to for personal reasons ATM.
So giving coffee to kids was part of the culture all along?
In the 90s, I was given 'cortado' to flavor the milk. Kids in Cuba still drink cortado. I later concluded that the reason must have been a shortage of chocolate powder, because no other country I've been to gives coffee to kids.
@monasterioR@el_pais Thatโs the most naive take possible. They collaborated with the jailers until it no longer was feasible. Cuba needs to look to the US and distance itself from Spain, the leftist gene runs deep there.
That's the dumbest take possible. That single paragraph shows he knows nothing about Cuba:
"Imagine what $100 million in unconditional aid to the Cuban people could buy. Not regime change. Something better: goodwill, gratitude, and eventually a generation of Cubans who love America and associate it with their own prosperity, rather than an embargo. Empathy isnโt a sign of weakness. Itโs the most ruthlessly effective weapon in the American arsenal."
1) It has to be conditional, not via the government, exactly because the Cuban government resells the aid via state controlled stores in hard currency to Cubans with family abroad.
2) Cubans already love America and hate the Cuban government, with the exception of a few elderly people who are too brainwashed to change. Almost nobody in Cuba buys the embargo argument anymore, only the Western left still does.
I know what you mean and I would never go to Scandinavia for vacation either, but Tromsรธ is just clean, pure wilderness. Good for the soul.
Restaurant food here is terrible but on the other hand, you can buy some of the best eggs in the world and make the tortilla yourself. Meat is also higher quality (and always tenderized) and then there is "reindeer ham".
@DanielDiMartino He is getting what he wants by you talking about him tho. If you guys stopped posting about him, weโd never hear about him again on this platform. His opinions belong in the Middle East and have no relevance in the Americas, just dragging the quality of discourse down.
I get your point, but the simpler explanation is that heโs just a grifter and Cuba was just a way to get more views and attention. He probably calculated the legality of it all and concluded that being investigated by the feds would increase his revenue. Heโs never gotten this much attention before. There are some people in that crazy pink group who truly believe what they say, but Piker seems like a simple narcissistic media personality to me.
@maxwellbuck33@Kadennn12321 Youโre right. Most Hispanics, with the exception of Cubans, lean left. Theyโre brainwashed beyond repair. But Hispanics, being socially conservative, are repelled by the trans/WOKE Democrats. Thatโs how Republicans won the male Hispanic vote. The messaging just has to be right.
@EYakoby This is most likely a Chinese op trying to LARP as a Mexican. Easier to fake location vs the US.
The account doesn't automatically distinguish between rats and mice. Only the Chinese do that.
@MailynSpeaks These people are the worst of the worst narcissists. Cubans abroad literally send aid every single day without ever stepping foot on the island. He flew in for the clout.
@hasanthehun You went clout chasing, not to deliver medical supplies you know make no difference. Cuban-Americans have been sending aid to their relatives in Cuba for decades without ever stepping foot on the island.
@ReynierDeLaTor1 Sadly, a lot of migrants are bringing the typical Latin American left-wing mindset with them that we know too well, with AOC being the most famous example. It sucks because it lowers the quality of US politics.
There is a childlike ignorance among some people about what it is like to live in a communist country. People cannot freely trade with each other. Targeted sanctions don't work against a regime that controls the entire economy. Any money that flows in ends up in the hands of the regime. You'd simply be subsidising the jailers. If your thesis is that being nice to the regime will make it change its mind, I have a bridge to sell you.
