@tommyswriting TBH a “raw” experience is bs. Palermo is as valid as any other neighbourhood experience. They’re all different but still ba.
And you got robbed bc it’s a low Trust society, not bc they really need money.
Maybe you still know nothing

A lot of my recent posts reflect the very bright side of Argentina and Buenos Aires.
The geography, the people, the passion, the mate, the soccer, etc.
But there's a darker side that I'm starting to see.
I have a Spanish teacher. She's amazing. She's lived in BA for a long time. But, she's moving away from Argentina for the next 3 months to hang out in a beach town in Brazil bc the prices of BA have gotten so out of hand for her.
She has a nice business as a Spanish teacher, but can barely manage things here with her wages.
I live a life of privilege and am blessed to earn in US dollars. For me, the prices of BA aren't that bad. I live in the "bubble" of Palermo. It's Buenos Aires, but it's culturally isolated from a lot of this area.
It's the tourist zone. A zone full of different languages, nationalities, races. A zone for upper-middle-class Porteños. I'll be the first to admit that for a TRUE, raw BA experience...this isn't it.
I say all this just to let people know...this country isn't all sunshine, mate, and rainbows. There's real economic strife and pain beneath the passionate, friendly, lovely surface.
For example:
I've been scammed here. Had my wallet taken out of my pocket. Even had someone try to rob me late at night. Some of it I brought on myself — but not all of it.
Let me be clear. I fucking love this place. But, some desperate people are really scraping by to make it.
Wages just aren't improving to keep up with the inflation and rising prices.
Don't come here thinking it's a fairyland.
Come here knowing what you're getting yourself into:
A flawed, beautiful, passionate, melancholic, crazy, life-affirming chunk of tierra.

n=1 but it really seems like the 2nd trimester is the only good trimester.
1st trimester:
physically - nauseous, tired
emotionally - worried about genetic testing, miscarriage
2nd trimester
physically - not nauseous, not tired, not in pain yet
emotionally - ❤️❤️feeling baby kick❤️❤️
3rd trimester
physically - tired, in pain, can't sleep
emotionally - worried about pre-term labor, baby's positioning, baby's growth progress

@kayakestable Te están dando información valiosa de quiénes son. Si lo pensas bien al final te salió barato

Esto es exactamente por lo que estoy harto de ser el “amigo amable”.
Gasté mi propio dinero, mi propio tiempo y mi propia energía armando una caja completa de comestibles para alguien que me dijo que estaba pasando apuros. Comida fresca, snacks, agua, salsas, carne, fruta, todo lo que podrían necesitar posiblemente para la semana. No pedí nada a cambio. Solo quería hacer algo amable porque en realidad me importan las personas.
La dejé justo en su puerta, envié un mensaje para avisarles, y pensé que les alegraría el día. Me respondieron con “gracias”, lo cual aprecié… hasta unos minutos después cuando me siguieron preguntando si la próxima vez podía “conseguir cosas diferentes” porque “no comen realmente estas marcas”. Tuve que leerlo dos veces porque no podía creerlo. ¿Estás recibiendo comestibles gratis y tu primera respuesta es quejarte del tipo de jamón o salsa para pasta?
Es honestamente triste lo ingratos que se han vuelto las personas. Nadie valora el esfuerzo ya. Intentas ayudar y aun así encuentran una razón para criticarlo. No estaba buscando elogios, pero tampoco esperaba una actitud así. Es agotador intentar hacer lo correcto por personas que solo notan lo que no hiciste perfectamente.
En este punto, ser amable se siente como un juego perdedor. ¿Ese mensaje te habría molestado también, o la gente realmente piensa que este tipo de comportamiento es normal ahora?

He wants one logical answer. Here it is. Stop renting and buy. We did it on $41,500 combined in 1983. The median Australian earns double that now. Twice the income and somehow worse off? I'd be looking at the lifestyle before I blamed the system 🏡
BroBro🇦🇺🏇🏻@realRick_AUS
The median Australian earns between 80-90k a year, Someone tell me how they’re suppose to afford a home, an electric car and installation equipment required? Not including all the other bills they have to pay. Just one logical answer would be nice.

A guy from India arrived in Australia on PR a few years back, went back to India to marry, and brought his wife to Australia on a Partner PR. Both had a child (an Australian citizen by birth). Two years later, the lady started missing her parents and wanted to shift back to India. The husband doesn’t want to, as they don’t have a future or job there. The lady went to India to meet her parents for 15 days, took the child with her, hasn’t come back for 8 months, and has refused to return. She filed a DV case against him in India. The child, an Australian citizen, is being held over there. Now the father is busy shopping for lawyers in both countries and has spent almost all his savings, can’t earn in Australia with this mental health, and can’t go to India because of the court case.

@MrsCMFrancis Selsun Gold is the only thing that worked for me. Can also try MooGoo’s flake free. Not sure where you live and if they’re available to you though.

Tonight I took all 3 of my kids (10,5,5) to the park & had them do obstacle courses & compete for the choice of where I took them to dinner.
At dinner I got up to go get my son a couple napkins & as I walked by two sweet old ladies stopped me & said,
WOW, YOU'RE A BRAVE DAD HERE ALL BY YOURSELF!
I said,
"Thanks, it's not a big deal they are great kids & it's fun hanging with them."
They remarked that they were watching & my kids were WELL BEHAVED & said IT WAS IMPRESSIVE SEEING ME ALONE WITH ALL THREE.
I'll be honest. It was kind of them to say that to me, but also CRAZY!!!!
Why would I be incapable of watching & hanging with MY KIDS?!?!
Are other dads unable to take their 3 kids a few hours by themself?!!
If so, WHY????

Siempre recuerdo a una amiga que me hacía comentarios tipo: “Te admiro porque eres mamá soltera y te sientes orgullosa de eso. Yo nunca podría ser como tú, yo sí me planifico”.
Bueno, ella planificó casarse, lo hizo, se embarazó porque el esposo la presionaba con ser papá y, en pleno embarazo, la abandonó. Crió a sus hijos sola (porque tuvo dos).
Creo que entendió que ser mamá soltera no tiene que ver con tu responsabilidad, sino con la de un padre que decidió no asumir la suya.

@JohnnyCakes22 @UziCryptoo In NSW, Australia I pay fees even for coffee with debit. At least 0.5%

@bonfis @UziCryptoo Restaurants (depending on the state) are not legally allowed to charge transactions fees on debit cards

CALLER: I put $3,000 worth of monthly expenses on my credit card and pay off in full. I get 2% cash back, so that's $60 back every month.
DAVE RAMSEY: Get rid of the card. You're telling me that you spend $3,000 on a high interest credit card, just to get $60? That's not how you get rich!
CALLER: I don't pay interest, I pay it off every month and get $60.
DAVE RAMSEY: Get rid the card, use debit cards ONLY!
CALLER: So give up the $60 I get back monthly?
DAVE RAMSEY: That's not how you get rich!
In reality, if you are resposible, USE credit cards. It's not just cash back. It's also liability protection.
Every dollar matters.

Yesterday was the worst day of my life and then the best day of my life… Worst because I thought I might lose my pregnant wife. Best because Carla and the baby survived and are stable.
Thank you to everyone who sent their thoughts and prayers for Carla. It’s been an insane 24 hours…
Carla is stable now and both she and the baby are okay, but it got really fucking bad really fast… Scariest day/night of my life…
Carla is an absolute badass and at the beginning of the slow road to recovery, and I am so damn thankful.
Posting this here for those who’ve been asking what happened:
Carla started feeling weird yesterday afternoon after a nap. We were up all night with our son and had to take him to urgent care in the morning, so we were all resting before going to meet up with the family for Easter Sunday.
When Carla woke up she had some back pain and was very clammy. She was a bit disoriented but still totally coherent. Within 10 minutes she was almost completely unresponsive. Barely conscious. Crazy disoriented. Hardly able to respond even with single words. Zero control of her body. Totally limp in my arms. Vomited.
I called 911 immediately. Paramedics arrived and she was still barely responding and could barely open her eyes. When she did open her eyes she said she couldn’t see, her vision was black. They got her in an ambulance to the hospital. Her BP was insanely low in initial readings, like 55/38… got her to the hospital and BP remained dangerously low. About an hour she appeared to improve a little after multiple rounds of fluids. BP still super low but higher than before. She became lucid and ER staff thought she was stabilizing. She was shivering from the IV and had a bit of back and abdominal pain but it was manageable. They said we’d have to stay the night for monitoring but would be fine to go home tomorrow.
But then she started having severe abdominal and back pain around her shoulder blades. Pain got to the point where she was screaming like crazy. “Worst pain of my life” (and she has an extremely high baseline pain tolerance). I’ve never seen her in such unrelenting agony like that…
The pain kept getting worse and they did additional scans. The ultrasound showed a lot of fluid in her abdomen, likely blood. They started giving her massive blood transfusions and shortly said she needed surgery immediately. They thought it might be a ruptured ovarian cyst but wouldn’t know for sure until they opened her up. Got her into the OR about an hour after that. Doctor said surgery would take an hour…
2.5 hours in the OR the later the doctor finally came out and said Carla and baby were both OK, thank god… longest 2.5 hours of my life...
It turns out they had to do a giant incision down her entire abdomen from too to bottom to find the source of the bleeding (because it was NOT her ovaries or uterus) and bring in a third surgeon who was on call.
They removed **2+ liters** of blood from her abdominal cavity. For context, the average adult woman has about 4.5 liters of blood in their entire body…
They had to remove her spleen because it had ruptured and was the source of the bleeding… the doctors described it as “battlefield medicine” because of the amount of blood in and out and how dicey things got… but thank god both she and the baby are ok.
The doctor’s still don’t know why the spleen ruptured… it was a “non-traumatic” rupture, meaning there was no physical injury to the spleen which caused the rupture (~1 cm). It was a “spontaneous” rupture, which is quite rare apparently. They did note that the spleen was slightly enlarged but also not sure why yet. Waiting for pathology to see if that provides any answers. May have been contributing physiological/mechanical factors from pregnancy but we just don’t know yet.
The reason her shoulder blades were in such intense pain was because blood from the spleen was pooling under her diaphragm, blood is an irritant, and apparently that triggers the phrenic nerve which the brain interprets as pain between and around the shoulder blades.
Multiple surgeons said she was “this close”…thank god we didn’t waste any time. When one of the surgeons checked in on her today, he said she would have been “dead by midnight” without the emergency surgery and splenectomy…
The doctors also all said this combination of circumstances is very rare. Spleens obviously burst all the time, but usually it’s directly related to intense trauma, which was absent here. They said this case is probably going to be in medical journals because it’s so strange.
Carla is still in a lot of pain (we’re not even 24 hours out from the end of the surgery yet), but she’s handling it like an absolute champ. She was sedated and intubated with a ventilator until about 5AM this morning. This afternoon she was already able to get up and go walking multiple times. The pain is really bad, but should hopefully start lessening with each passing day.
It’s going to be a long road to recovery, especially with pregnancy on top of it, but she and the baby are both OK and right now that’s all that matters. One step at a time.
In typical @carlabitcoin fashion, she’s already been cracking jokes and trying to bribe the nurses. She even fired off a tweet while still a bit loopy from the sedatives but now she’s just trying to manage the pain.
Thankful for the great doctors, nurses, and paramedics who saved her life and our baby.
Thanks again to everyone who has reached out and sent their thoughts and prayers. I’m passing along your messages to Carla and they’re very much appreciated.
This still doesn’t seem real. A normal day turned into a nightmare so damn fast…
Hug your loved ones tight. Life is a gift. Don’t take it for granted.
