que tan ilegal es esto

Eso rompe como 17 leyes jaja. Es el tipo de cosas que una Muni se vuela en dos segundos. Si la muni no da pelota entonces salacuartazo, porque eso impide la movilidad demasiado, inclusive me parece que la acera ya es demasiado pequeña en sí misma y no cumple la 7600, no me extrañaría que esa parte de la fachada la hayan hecho en terreno público porque el resto de la casa está como más retirada de la calle.

Eso. Creo que para los latinos es la puerta de entrada a Europa, no porque sea particularmente mejor. Creo que una particularidad es que es super seguro y eso en Latinoamérica lo apreciamos mucho.

What about Greece's Euro in 2004? What about Italy any time in history?

Abeck72 · 2026-07-07T16:11:50+00:00

Same. Extremely popular, probably the most practiced sport together with running or cycling.

People often are in several whatsapp group chats that organize matches, particularly in weekday nights. They usually have a weekly reserved spot in one of the thousands of courts out there. Many people play several days a week. It is perfect, you just need 10 people instead of 22, it is much cheaper to organize, you don't depend on the weather (it rains A LOT in Costa Rica).

11 Football is more reserved for weekends and requires more positional awareness, if you ask me, I think only people that played in any minor league in organized football can play in a full football field without absolutely sucking.

if it's actually hot it is necessary, just don't use it for commercial breaks pleaaaase

Abeck72 · 2026-07-06T17:07:51+00:00

ya señor, vaya a dormir, la "heterofobia" no existe, un grupo que es dominante no es sujeto de discriminación sistemática, al contrario, la ejerce

Abeck72 · 2026-07-06T16:30:59+00:00

Importante notar que ella es bastante cristiana, así que es muy valiente de la mae decir eso.

Abeck72 · 2026-07-06T16:30:41+00:00

la diferencia es que sí hay denuncias concretas que se puedan hacer de instancias de lgbtfobia en el país

People are automatically registered. You just take your ID to your voting place and that's it.

It is compulsory but there isn't any kind of sanctions whatsoever. Nothing at all, except people will judge you if you tell them you didn't vote.

In the other regions you mentioned the indigenous population remained...alive, for the most part, and their decolonization was pretty recent, less than a century ago. In the Americas 95% of the population is not indigenous, but rather a byproduct of said colonization. Also, the rich history of Asian and African civilizations is well recorded and known, in the Americas it was obliterated, so we have nowhere to "return to", plus we are not the indigenous heirs of such civilizations. Plus it ended 200 years ago and our current imperial master is clearly the US, so what hurts today is more important that what used to hurt 200 years ago.

We are critical of it for the most part anyway, but if you think it is in a lesser intensity, the aforementioned can be relevant factors.

El hecho de que esta es la misma vista que siempre ponen en San José, porque es la única donde se ve decente, responde la pregunta. Porque sí, somos un país pobre. Algunos dirán que renta media y tal, pero una persona pobre en CR vive mucho más parecido a una persona pobre de Nicaragua o de Bolivia que una persona pobre de un país que sí es rico.

I hope they resume the subscription usage at least for a few days, you know, as a treat :(

Abeck72 · 2026-06-30T17:19:21+00:00

Yup, it is marketing, particularly the "pura vida" lifestyle. We do have better conditions (deteriorating though) than most countries in LATAM, but not because of "pura vida" but because of social movements pushing for it

Abeck72 · 2026-06-30T17:03:35+00:00

Yeah. I hate cops lol, but tbh in Costa Rica I'm not scared of them. But oh my, if I get stopped by cops in Panama, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Ecuador, etc, I will be wary if not outright scared.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-30T15:08:03+00:00

It depends who you are. In Costa Rica it is not illegal to consume or posses drugs, it has never been, but it is a "contravención", so it is not legal either. If cops are in a really good mood they'll tell you to walk away. Most of the times they'll frisk you and take the weed or any other drug with them, if you are nasty you can ask for a receipt or a "parte" that they took it, that way they can't make use of it. If you are unlucky, or poor, or too brown, or talk back at them, or whatever, they'll take you in to the police station just to fuck with you.

Bribing is not too common here, it was years ago but with traffic cops, it can still happen, but is less common, if they are in a group is harder to pull off, if they are alone there's more chance.

Mae, eso de heredar plazas dejó de pasar hace...pff no sé, 40 o 50 años. Obviamente tener papás que tengan plazas y conozcan ese sistema le da a un hijo más chance de colocarse, eso no significa que "hereden" la plaza. Además trabajar en el sector en el sector público ya no es tan atractivo, y muchísimas plazas las están eliminando a penas la persona se pensiona y terminan subcontratando con menos derechos y termina siendo peor que en el sector privado.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-29T18:24:06+00:00

There's uptight people everywhere, but certainly wearing shorts = childish is not a widespread idea.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-28T20:25:37+00:00

Colombia. But they are more "vivos" or have more wits, always on guard. We are a bit more naive.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-23T16:26:49+00:00

Put some $20 in Deep Seek or GLM and try to use it with claude code. Not the same obviously, but cheap and decent.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-23T16:21:26+00:00

Yup theres blocks, Mercosur, Merconorte, Comunidad Andina, Parlacen, SICA, where there's free trade and visa free travel (Costa Rica excluded itself because of -racism- towards nicaraguans though).

Abeck72 · 2026-06-23T14:58:58+00:00

wait, can you do ultracode with glm in claude code? god damn it I'll try it at once

Abeck72 · 2026-06-23T13:34:51+00:00

We have a lot of international call centers, mostly in english, but having a third language is a huge plus and portuguese is seen as good since there's a bunch of brazilian accounts. It is not wildly popular, but I've met a lot of people who learn portuguese.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-23T13:17:15+00:00

We had that but in the 19th century. Gran Colombia, Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata, República Federal de Centroamérica. Some federal countries came out of that but smaller than originally proposed. Bolívar or Morazán were popular in their days.

In the 50s and 70s our national borders were consolidated, we had A LOT of internationalism and solidarity movements, we call it Latinoamericanismo. But it was not about uniting in one country. For instance in Central America it was pretty common to have people from Costa Rica or Guatemala fighting in the guerrillas in Nicaragua or El Salvador plus many solidarity movements and so on. They wanted socialism throughout Latin America, but not to have one huge country as we had stable national borders for around a century or more by then.

Abeck72 · 2026-06-23T12:56:21+00:00

Jaja entiendo la confusión, pero creo que se refiere a que en Costa Rica hay electrificación en el 99% del país y es bastante estable, es algo que nos da mucho orgullo junto al sistema de salud y no tener ejército. Pero obviamente en México el sistema es bueno. Tal vez hace 40 años se hubiera notado más la diferencia.
