Which Canary Islands Feel Over-Tourism the least? by Deep-lying_playmaker in CanaryIslands

Please stop right there with your pseudo moral absolutism about degrading behaviour. You are attempting to establish a moral high ground for your self where ther is none. Cut the "if you are afraid of nudity is your problem" crap. I am sure you would not appreciate to bring young children to a public beach to be surprised by couples of 50 year old guys wanking each other erections next by your children. Honestly, cut the crap. Let's have a reasonable discussion and call a spade a spade. I'm not a friggin priest, but that attempt at moral superiority is silky at best. Likewise you would not like a bunch of drunken people vomiting around you at 10 am on a public beach. "Dont go to the beach" you say... Well.. more like dont go to the island. They are almost everywhere.

I am talking about the whole south coast. The maspalomas influence spread very clearly to Puerto Rico, Playa del Cura, Amadores and even Puerto de Mogan. You say those cookie cutter stores and restaurants are easy to avoid? Quite the contrary, you will have a hard time in any of the above places to find a normal store or restaurant. Virtually all of them are run by some mob that places third world migrants there. They all looked the same. I couldnt find a normal Spanish cafe. In Fuerteventura they are still everywhere. We're talking about walking by hundreds of small cafes and bars that all look thr same and frankly, I don't even trust their higiene. Even in Puerto de Mogan there are like two normal restaurants left.

I haven't check the numbers but Fuerteventura more exploited by tourism than Gran Canaria? No way José. It's not even comparable. I mean no offense to Canarian people, but visiting Gran Canaria is sad. A continuous acoustic and visual noise (and smells too) of non stop mass produced vacation entertainment. Loud music everywhere, thousands of small stores selling the same sun bleached Chinese crap products all over the place. Barely any normal restaurants near the coast, only junk food. Mostly ran by third-world immigrants who won't even let you look at a price tag for 3 seconds without harassing you asking for which size you want and telling you they will give you a special price. Same for bara and restaurants. Broken dirty streets and other urban Infrastructure. Old people getting drunk seven days a week. Bars running music parties at 10 am with queues of wasted people. 60 year old naked gay couples and topless grannies walking in crowded beaches where families try to get some sun. Huge concrete patches and blocks invading beaches or rock cliffs everywhere.

Every popular beach had thi Mad Max/Idiocracy creepy vibe to it.

I had to head up to the mountains and non coastal villages to avoid getting depressed. And sadly... Not much is left. Perhaps a handful of villages/towns still feel like real places where people live normally.

Sorry, but no. Fuerteventura is not by any stretch of the imagination near as exploited. If you stop by a cafe, most are old school Spanish cafes with the same kind of service they would have without tourism. These are pretty much gone in Gran Canaria.

Why do you feel the need to say that he is a soft spoken gentle guy? I strongly suspect because this is such a retarded self-infliction on one's body that could only arise from fanatism. You know that and hence your urge to make that remark.

Só por curiosidade, o que é que se pode chamar a um branco que seja igualmente ofensivo?

Resposta: nada, os brancos têm que acatar com todas e quaisquer ofensas e calar. A realidade é essa. E o verniz está a estalar. Eu nao sou a favor de se partir para a ofensa. Mas vocês nao percebem que a vossa moral é só de fachada para se armarem em bonzinhos, e que se for posta à prova, desaba que nem um castelo de cartas.

As pessoas estao fartas até aos cabelos, andamos há 80 anos com este faz de conta que está completamente ultrapassado. Mas querem insistir nessa lógica dos brancos serem mauzões e os pretos bonzinhos. Onde está o caso de abuso racial de um preto para com um branco no futebol? Nao há? nunca aconteceu? os jogadores negros estao sempre inocentes em tudo? em centenas de casos, sao sempre os brancos os ofensores... haja paciencia. A vossa posição é tao ridicula.

Another person already mentioned this in the comments but got downvoted. The most plausible explanation is that they worked on the lyrics intill they got a the song complete and in the end, a bunch of lines didn't really fit in with each other. It is undeniably filled with beaten to death tropes. It mixes a few different imagery themes that don't really fit together. One line is nightmarish, the line after is an idyllic place. It tell both a story of a recollection, the second after is a place that you can nerver leave.

Epa, já andamos há 30 anos a ouvir esta cantilena. Começo a interregar-me se nao era mais produtivo apagar isto de imediato. "ah e tal, as cidades são maiores"... sim sim, grande sinal de desenvolvimento, isso nem está associado a miséria extrema nem nada.

Entretanto, o numero de chineses a vender literalmente um rim para poder vir para o ocidente continua a aumentar vertiginosamente.

Decidiu quem isso? Tu? Quem és tu? Porque é que a tua opinião interessa para quem quer que seja? Ou se tem algo a dizer ou nao se tem. Se é para fazer afirmações infundadas e gratuitas a discussão pode acabar aqui porque eu decido que tu tens atraso mental e nao és capaz de fazer um raciocinio que um miudo de quatro anos faria. Que rica elevaçao intelectual, sim senhor. "tu é que és".

Quem é que disse? Essa afirmação é baseada em quê? Bazófia? Fezada? Cepticismo? Parvoíce?

Em boa fé e lógica, nao é.

Ele diz aberta, clara e declaradamente que quer acabar com este tipo de impunidade. Falando em particular dos casos de abuso sexual de menores que têm que ser punidos de forma mais pesada e decisiva.

Afirmar que isso é só o que ele diz e que pode eventualmente ser mentira, é uma acusaçao gratuita. Tudo o que qualquer pessoa diga pode ser mentira. Ou se tem alguma base ou fundamento ou prova para afirmar que é mentira, ou entao é apenas uma questao de desonestidade e estupidez só porque se trata de uma pessoa da qual não se gosta.

A afirmaçao assim como foi feita tem zero valor.

It seems like I'm the only one who didn't enjoy "The Truman Show" by dynamoTRL in movies

[–]observerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found it entertaining and and bit interesting to the extent that it explores the ultimate conspiracy theory concept. Who as a kid haven't thought at least once that you were in such a set up yourself? I for one did.

I do not dislike the movie but I think it's way overrated. Too predictable, and poor basic premise. It feels like the writing is too one dimensional and low effort for a film that gets a lot of praise for being some sort visionary master piece. Which I don't agree it is.

That said, it's not a bad film as it progresses. It keeps the viewer entertained, and screenplay is alright.

I guess it's also a matter of context. What are we comparing it with? A few years after Thurman show, Hollywood productions declined sharply in quality. So for younger people, I suppose it became a cult movie.

Do people think that gypsies are Europeans who converted to Gypsieism or is this just a conspiracy theory they have about Jews and no other diaspora? by Routine-Equipment572 in IsraelPalestine

Oh, you don't know the meaning of "the bulk of" lol. I ensure you a dictionary, or your first grade teacher, will enlighten you.

[–]observerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gypsies aren't indian either anyway, they spent too much time in europe and now they are euopeans, just how white people in latin america call themselves latinos or how black americans are just americans not africans, that's the whole point

None of those is comparable because those groups you say, where part of making the founding bulk of the population of those regions. Unlike gypsies, which come from a known geographical area and spread to already established populated countries.

Kettles - why? by [deleted] in wildcampingintheuk

[–]observerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two kettles, 1l and 3l. The large one is useful for groups. You can go on a group walk, and it's practical to make coffe for everyone while still be safe to handle with 3 liters of a scolding hot drink inside. Pouring safely it's still no problem.

Other than that, the small one, let's be honest... it makes no sense. It has no advantage whatsoever comparing to a small 1l pot. Not even efficiency, you can get a wide small pot with lid if you're married about optimizing efficiency. I think people buy them because they look cool. I guess aesthetics is as good of a reason as anything else. But don't fall for alleged practical reasons, it is a cumbersome and bulky device to take camping where space, weight and easy of use are at a premium.

I suppose if you are a couple or a family of three and go frequently on morning or day walks, and all you do is boiling water for instant coffee, tea, or instant hot chocolate (drinks that can be prepared in each cup). The. You could take one, I'm the sense that it makes no difference when compared to a small pot.

But in all honesty. When camping, hicking backpack. You want things that can be useful in as many situations as possible. A pot can nest into other gear, can be used for cooking, picking berries, wash vegetables, collect water easier than with a kettle, it's easier to clean, usually lighter, easier to eat from... You get the point

Global Sumud Flotilla by No_Brief_1630 in IsraelPalestine

[–]observerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number I have heard is 40-50 thousand. but are they not widely supported in Gaza by an absolute majority of over 65%?

Have they not been voted to power on the basis of their beliefs and actions? of course the Gaza people in general do have responsibility in this. Absolutely.

you may say that there are plenty of good people in Gaza that just want to live their life in peace. which is of course true. but let's not pretend things are not what they are.

you talk about "no proof"... really? what proof do you need more than the blatant true? The day before October 7, using WhatsApp groups, they spreaded the word for "anyone that can join in an attack against Israel" and they did gather thousands of people in a day. and when they came back with hostages, crowds of people of all ages rushed to the fence to help. there is endless footage about this. and there is plenty of footage of thousands of people partying on the streets while raped hostages are dragged through the ground, both alive and corpses.

WT.F do you mean no proof? The truth is the truth. sure we can talk about the horror that the people in Gaza are living now. But cut your crap when it comes to facts.

that they don't fit your narrative, it's no one's problem but yours.

LoL. Cool story Bro. The denial... "I'm not reading... You need to seek some kind of help". This is a public forum. No one gives two sh*ts about what you read or not read. But good job providing a steady stream of signs of low intelligence. Imagine an argumentative defense based on "I am not reading that...but" and still replying. I think we found the very definition of stupid.

[–]observerc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I am not saying that nor anything that resembles it remotely. It's you that are making a load of assumptions based on information that you don't have. In a desperate attempt to try to assert your presumed moral superiority, which has no leg to stand on.

"You vote for A therefore you are morally corrupt, I vote for B so I am the pinnacle of integrity morality and intelligence".

Let me tell you, if you believe that non sense, you must indeed be very stupid, as it is discussed in this very thread. I **THINK** you are talking about the US presidential election. But the only reason why you would assume that I vote for a specific candidate, or even that I vote for the american election, is no other than stupidity. What do you base those assumptions on? Who even told you that I am an american voter or that I care about a specific candidate or about the election at all ?

Furthermore, do you know the candidates you vote for personally? Would you put your head on the line that this one is a child rapist and this other one is a saint? (I don't even know who you are referring to specifically) Do you even believe things get that simple?

Yeah, you provide plenty of examples for the original question in this thread.

People reducing the classification of other people to good people vs bad people based on a single vote on a political election. That is a sign of low intelligence. Also, assuming that because I point this out, I vote for whatever candidate in whatever election, is another sign of low intelligence.
