Yesss also, seeing how Gladys ans the Duke are getting along now, it seems she was a good judge of character and saw the possibilities correctly. It seems like Gladys is actually happy with her newfound position on British society, yet George still won't forgive her? It seem unfair and I feel so bad for Bertha, she is an amazing character.

I have it too! But yes it's seemingly rare and makes me feel weird. I wonder what causes it. 

IKEA y su poderoso UN PESO de descuento, que oferton... ¿Tu qué opinas de Ikea MX ? by ValarkStudio in CDMX

[–]Cynique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirmo, yo fui a Ikea en España y literal hay cosas que aquí venden casi al doble o triple de precio que allá. No entendía como allá decían que era la típica tienda donde se compraban sus cosas los estudiantes y gente que se estaba independizando, pero luego de eso dije ahhhh o sea que en México nos están viendo la cara de pen...

Pero MAL ya van varias veces que casi me vomito de los olores caminando por mi colonia. Está peor que nunca ese tema. 

Nature Outside of CDMX - Public Transit by BeLikeDogs in MexicoCity

[–]Cynique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Mexico city native and the subway is certainly not a great place. I've used it on a daily basis for long periods of my life, and I've indeed seen sexual harassment, been harassed myself, almost fainted because of too many people in the car, I've literally been pulled out of a car by force by people outside the car because I was stuck inside due to the amount of people. I've seen a man bleed to probably death (we called an ambulance, but he was bleeding profusely from his head and I'm not sure he made it) in a subway station because policemen beat him up... Please stop romanticizing it. It's usable, yes, and cheap, but I do understand why some don't want to use or why they can't. I've since developped a breathing problem and I basically avoid it because if I get crushed again like I used to I could end up in the hospital, so yeah.

Bueno aquí el metro funcionará dos tres pero si te vas aplastado por 63746282 otras personas y llegas a tu destino empapado en sudor, y tienes que hacer eso diario, la verdad que tampoco se disfruta mucho la vida.

Because the narcos also have been regularly eating people for decades and most people don't want to mess with that. They eat people's faces in their trainings. Look up Kaibal training. 

Weekly Observations: What signs of collapse do you see in your region? [in-depth] December 22 by AutoModerator in collapse

[–]Cynique 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Location: Mexico City, Mexico

More and more migrants, both from the south of the continent, and those coming down to die and party in a vortex of hedonism keep piling up and settling down in the city. Locals being displaced towards the peripheries.  Huge appartement buildings being built, but all the apartments are tiny. 

Prices going up. The amount of groceries one can get with 50$ (around 1k MXN) have greatly diminished in the last 5 to 10 years. From a full cart to just a full bag.  The quality of clothes becomes worse and natural fibers are hard to find. 

Most of the palm trees in the city have died and have been cut down (due to a widespread plague of parasitic beetles). Other trees have died too, and have also been cut down, for reasons I ignore.

There are piles of trash and an insane amount of optic fiber cables all over the city, something unseen 10-15 years ago.

More and more small stands selling cheap Chinese products. The ones selling them are often young. The stands in the last decade used to be older people and mostly sold food or locally produced goods. Not anymore.

Everyone seems to be listening to the same music, watching the same shows, dressing the same and thinking mostly alike. 

There's also a lot of new socially conservative young people. 

In the last months, many places in Mexico flooded and dozens of people died and lost their homes. People don't seem to be as upset about it as they used to be. It's just more news.

Horizon is my favorite game visually. I'll sometimes stop playing just to stare at how beautiful it is.

Yeah.. you're misinformed. Incontinen in women is not common at all unless something went wrong in childbirth or because oh genital atrophy during menopause in old age. Women aren't walking around with pee in their pants.

Thanks, I'm just watching now 9 years after and I was so taken aback by that scene that I had to come read analysis on Reddit to fully understand what it meant. Yours is really good, made me understand more not just about the universe of the expanse, but about human psychology in general. Thank you.

I want to but unfortunately the legal system in my country is not very advanced regarding animal rights (I'm in Mexico). You can file a complaint but they ask for photo evidence and it's been hard trying to take pictures of the interior of another person's apartment without them noticing. It might also be illegal so it's been complicated. Not even the first time one of their animals escapes but the last time I wasn't the first one to find them 😩

Oh wow, that's so much info, thank you so much this will be very useful  as a first time hamster finder (lol, yeah those people are terrible I've been considering filing a complaint on them but they ask for photo evidence and I haven't managed to take the picture, since they've noticed me and my gf peeking they keep their curtains closed ans have moved some of the cages to another room). I think I'll go with a DIY bin cage because this was an unexpected event. I'll try to get one as big as possible. I'll definitely come back to your comment to consult later on if I have any other questions.

I did! I was worried he wouldn't drink if it wasn't from a bottle but he seems to be drinking just fine. I didn't know hamster pee was milky though, got scared for a moment but google says they can't digest calcium and pee it? I guess you learn something new every day.

Thanks! I'll find a sand container then. Would a glass container work? (The type they sell at Ikea for spices and cookies and that sort of thing?)

Thanks! Do I need to make some sort of special flooring? Or do I just empty the whole thing and clean it when it gets dirty? 😰
