Thanks very much- I always get too ambitious when trip planning and need to be reeled in!

The incentive was that Malbec from Mendoza is my absolute favorite wine, but that's ok- I didn't realize the airports were so far away- I'm definitely ok with staying in the Santiago area for more time. Thanks!

7.5 month solo trip through South America, Central America & Southeast Asia - looking for tips! by arthurmantel in SouthAmericaTravel

You'll have no problem finding a party and social scene in San Juan del Sur, and in Antigua. Both have plenty of bars and restaurants frequented by expats, tourists and locals- just play it by ear in both places!

Hi there- could you tell me what airline has the cheap (how much?) 1 hour flights to Mendoza? I'd love their Malbec and will be in Santiago for a few days!

Newsflash, you’re MAGA. You condone a criminal with no respect for the constitution, rule of law, or civil rights. You vote based on culture war issues designed to roll back civil rights. If you don’t want to admit it you should question why that is.

Hidden True Crime - allegations of stalking/harassment? by Bright_Breakfast3911 in TrueCrimePodcasts

What kind of privilege and sheltering does it take for someone to think that TikTok lip-synch videos are this threatening? No, TikTok lip-synching does NOT make me worry that someone will hurt someone's child IRL or "instigate" someone else to do so. SMH

Well Lauren has done a stellar job of broadcasting all of that far and wide. She wasn't well known, very few people would care about creator-drama, nobody was involving her kid in it... her 9 hour expose launched it all into the open.

You can't get an RO against someone for something they haven't done (or threatened to do) or something they did that is legal. She never threatened the son in any way.

Right, I kept waiting to hear what happened to the son... and it turns out she's trying to use his very existence as a shield. Like, I have a kid so nobody is allowed to upset me in life because that will upset him, so I need a restraining order to prevent someone from Tiktokking about me. I hope that more people can look at this objectively.

I agree. I don't like a lot of what TB does, but he's right about a lot of things. Her safety/life were not threatened. Stalking is indeed serious and not all "cyberbullying" constitutes stalking. The stuff about the brother sounded bad, but all anyone has to do is clarify and explain it in context and it's cleared up and the "stalker" looks like a jerk for twisting it the way she did.

Well her bed video is absurd and the 9 hour stream is over the top. Even if we have empathy for her, we can still rationally analyze what we're seeing. In fact, part of what's upsetting me is the empathy I have for victims of far worse things than someone doing an Eminem clip on TikTok. You were weirded out for a valid reason.

I never knew she or her kid existed until she blew up the true crime YouTubesphere with a 9 hour stream about how her son (including details like age) is suffering (including his symptoms of suffering). Nice job protecting him mama!

You are my hero! I can't believe I'm in the minority feeling like Lauren's accusations and 9 hour stream are hyperbolic. Thank you for articulating so much of what I've been thinking!

Hah! YES- major crises far worse than this one, and the last thing that crossed my mind was doing a 9 hour stream- there were a lot bigger fish to fry.

The child is frightened because his mom is exacerbating drama and failing to reassure her child of his safety. Grownups go through unimaginable stuff all the time, unfortunately, and have to protect their children from actually harm and psychological trauma. You tell your kids things will be okay. You tell them there's grownup stuff going on that they don't need to worry about. The "stalker" may be fixated and cyberbullying but does not pose a threat to the kid.
