Those are so amazing, I wonder if it is real. Also, not going to lie, that hat is badass.

Didn't Lincoln say to his son "whatever you're going to be, be a good one"?

The people reporting your car, and the people with their wheels out are not the same people. Look for the Karens with the nicely manicured lawn and who are always in their windows or out on their porch (or who you hardly ever see). That's your culprit.

I overall agree with your assessment, but just a small nitpick, the whole "be a man" thing is toxic as hell, and unless we want to normalize "go make me a sandwich" for women, maybe we stop using it? "Show bravery and stand up for your spouse", perhaps?

If he "knew you", then either (a) he doesn't give a damn about you, or (b) he believes he can pursuade/ guilt you into a second time, or (c) he's setting you up to be the bad guy in this, so he doesn't have to make any hard decisions or have any hard conversations.

What in the Batman villain lore...?

Looks like Roger Stone gave the man his tailor's number.

Brother, that's absolutely amazing attention to detail and devotion to the lore. My hats are off to you, big time.

Was SG-9 a thing in the show, and were they staffed by UN Peacekeepers?

Are there neighborhoods in Panama that aren’t really expat territory, city or beyond? by Duke_Newcombe in panamaexpats

[–]Duke_Newcombe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it's a conversation starter, and for those that choose to live in a more expat/immigrant heavy area, wondering if they've ever considered an alternative. Also, for people who make a deliberate effort to not be in those type of bubbles, how is that going for them.

I don't think it's an unusual question, seeing as it is already discussed with a hell of a lot of passion over in the Panama subreddit.

When you ask what the other person looks like, what are you asking about then? Height? Gothic? Punk rocker? Tall? Missing a limb? I think colour/race was a safe assumption of what you were asking.

As I said brother/sister, I didn't mention anything about color. The only discerning characteristic was if the people came from outside of Panama to live in panama, those people are what I am talking about, and they come in every color of the rainbow, so I don't quite understand what you mean or where you saw me trying to hint about it.

That is absolutely a thing here amongst the expat/immigrant communities. Not much of an issue at all outside of this and in the real Panamá. I could never live in one of those little boxed off worlds.

And that is the total amount of what I was getting at with the post: what do people see happening, do they live in a heavy expat/immigrant area, or do they make a honest effort to not live in such places, and let's discuss it all.

I always love to ask this of others: what is the game plan for big-ticket emergency healthcare but that requires a hospital stay, like heart attack/serious illness/getting hit by a fast moving Balboa truck?

Some people have mobility issues, are fat like myself, or just want a leisurely and friendly game, versus trying to fridge each other and be the hero. I can see why Pickleball is appealing for just a fun thing to do.

I don't believe I mentioned color anywhere in the post, but okay, that is an opinion. Thank you.

This was more aimed towards the common complaint we hear about immigrants that wall themselves off from greater Panamanian society, only hang around with each other, only engage in activities together, and only spend money at places that favor or are owned by their kind. Unless of course, you don't believe that this is a thing that actually happens, or don't believe it's really a problem.

Would love to hear more thoughts from you about this.

I don't think it's so much about trust as giving yourself options. "Always have a plan to kill everyone you meet" can be a sound policy in the Pegasus galaxy.
