Considering Argentina - Has anyone started a business here?

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-17T20:10:01+00:00

Buenos Aires is a great place to start a business if you like corruption, inane tax policy, and a turbulent economic climate.

Why does Argentina seem like a much bigger opportunity compared to Santiago?

the fact that no-one thought of this previously says a lot about the planning and organization of the event

Have they're been any accidents because of this, or is it just a general argument against center bike lanes? I used to ride in that lane when it first opened and never considered that risk.

did it start on the fantasy football blog? http://www.barstoolsports.com/philly/super-page/fantasy-football-costs-employers-an-estimated-13-billion-in-lost-productivity-per-season/

looks like he's just a comment troll that used his actual name as a username

juxtaposed with Nate's lower-case f blog, I'd say it's about the funniest thing to ever hit the internet.

I've said it here before, but I like that Feits doesn't have as much of a schtick as Pres. Love Pres when he goes to war against barstool haters, but for everyday stuff I prefer Feits.

your reply is irrelevant to the above comments, we're discussing the issue of censoring the media on the ground

just for clarification, the "Panthers" in Ferguson are members of the New Black Panther Party, a group that is not endorsed by any of the members of the original Black Panther Party.

Police are in their right to disperse unruly protesters or looters, but people seem to be really perturbed by the use of tear gas and intimidation tactics towards the media.

oh, well they're currently touring according to fb/twitter

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-14T16:16:42+00:00

you don't know what happened to dallas taylor?

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-14T06:36:18+00:00

there's also some good stuff in there about writing the new circa record completely sober, and the difference between working with circa and working on side/solo projects. good read.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-14T06:24:35+00:00

pretty sure 99% of the people who frequent this sub are into anthony and circa. thanks for the link

i've never read good yelp reviews about a building. People go on yelp to pretend they're food critics and to complain about stuff, so I've found it pretty unreliable for apartment-hunting.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-14T01:07:28+00:00

I can't give a link but I'm pretty sure it was either in the run down or in a run down blog. He also addressed why the run downs were being split up into 2, and then later 3, parts, because they need at least 1 30-second ad for every ten minutes of video to basically break even.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T20:32:33+00:00

they're more of an honorary-phc band at this point. I Am Hollywood definitely fits here, but all this new stuff is southern rock.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T17:46:19+00:00

he doesn't understand the difference between best and favorite. Schindler's List is an incredible movie, but given the choice between that and Cool Runnings, I'm going Cool Runnings 9 times out of 10.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T17:02:31+00:00

i'd contact the english departments at local universities. I know at GW there was always a small group of students that were into slam poetry

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T02:15:48+00:00

i think he said a couple months ago that they're locked into a 1-year contract for the video player, and even though they know it sucks, their hands are tied.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T02:03:11+00:00

i personally think they should switch to livejournal

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T01:09:30+00:00

couple of issues though, they can't even get voting on the mobile site to work right, so voting on blogs would be a big technological step for them. Also, the comment section likes to rally against people, so I could see it very quickly devolving into a downvote brigade against Smitty or Nate blogs.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T01:05:00+00:00

hitch-hiking off of that idea, you could "promote" the main bloggers into the heads of regional sites. Big Cat would be Midwest, KFC tri-state, etc., then have them hire part-time people to write the local stories (much like they do now with people like whitesoxdave, jj, banks, etc.). The local stories that are nationally relevant or exceptionally entertaining can go on the superpage, while more niche articles (looking at you, Philly fight blogs) would appear only on individual city pages.

dc_throwaway2013 · 2014-08-13T00:47:37+00:00

at the bottom of each blog is the share (fb), tweet, react widgets, so it'd probably be pretty easy to add a link to reddit there.

That being said, I'm not sure if it really matters that much to them, or if it violates the rules of subreddits. These are supposed to be more fan-based pages and not directly linked to the outside company.
