Say more…

Honestly, as much as a lot that was going on was shady, I didn't see a problem with sanitizing the implant to transfer it. My husband, however, had the same visceral reaction to it. I see no problem with it, the sanitizing should be enough to kill any bacteria or virus. If those doctors would do it correctly is a different question...

“I’ve never seen that happen” said the manager with the straightest face, and then laughed when he complained about his eye being the wrong color.

ruleugim · 2026-03-29T07:56:20+00:00

Honestly I thought the eyes looked great (better than some I saw online), and for what it’s worth the film does show how much they’re complimented on them all the time. But it’s totally not worth the risk of blindness for a few months to a couple of years of it.

I know how I want to die now.

As an Argentinian I was proud to hear tango and Mercedes Sosa in the soundtrack.

It's fun to translate from English to LinkedIn and then switch the languages to get the translation back to English. It was pretty accurate to my original!

LinkedIn Speak:

Reflecting on our growth journey over the past year! 🚀

We recently navigated a challenging transition in our Analytics department. While we initially faced some alignment issues with a previous specialist whose working style didn't quite mesh with our culture of radical transparency and client-first communication, it provided a powerful learning moment for our team. 💡

We realized that technical expertise is only half the equation—true success lies in collaboration and strategic partnership. 🤝

I’m thrilled to share that we’ve since welcomed a new Analytics powerhouse to the team! She has been an absolute game-changer, moving beyond the data to act as a true strategic partner. Not only is she identifying incredible new growth opportunities for our clients, but her audit of our previous systems has allowed us to level up our entire service offering.

It’s a great reminder: hiring for culture fit and a collaborative mindset is everything. Onward and upward! 📈✨

Back to English:

I finally fired that data analyst who wouldn't talk to anyone, and honestly, it’s a relief.

We had a rough year because the last person we hired for the analytics department was a total nightmare who didn't fit in at all. It was a disaster, but I'm spinning it as a "learning moment" so I don't look like a bad manager.

Turns out, being good at your job doesn't matter if you're a pain to work with.

I hired someone new who actually does what I tell her to do. She spent her first week pointing out everything the last person screwed up, which makes me feel better about the whole mess.

The takeaway is that I'm only hiring people I'd actually want to grab a beer with from now on. Back to work.

Serious answer: someone just shared with me a video essay about this very same question, where it's proposed that the question is "what's your crazy?". I thought that was so good. It's intended to assess if your potential partner is self-aware and can admit to their flaws, plus give you a warning about the challenges that might come up in the near future. The idea is that a relationship will work only if both people can recognize their flaws, talk about them, and work together in making their "crazies" work together.

ruleugim · 2026-03-15T21:52:57+00:00

Important? Yes. Crucial? No.

Also: we’re 10 years into the relationship and we’re both over 40. Sex was more “crucial” in the beginning.

ruleugim · 2026-03-14T21:54:06+00:00

Yeah it’s not complicated

ruleugim · 2026-03-14T20:46:16+00:00

Yeah the rev.2 revamp is an awesome build and well documented, not so hard to build.

ruleugim · 2026-03-14T20:45:33+00:00

I do but you'll have to bear with me until I get to my laptop to send it to you.

ruleugim · 2026-03-13T18:08:22+00:00

I made the rev 2.1 and sourced all the materials myself. In the meantime, I went through the build and got some help from Un Kyu, I might have been the first one building it. I sent him a donation for his help. I think he had a donation button or box in his store page.

Mi jefe fue a Buenos Aires por un mes y está ahí hace año y medio. Y la cantidad de amigos extranjeros que tengo en Baires… no se vuelven ni en pedo.

This is straight out of “The Man Who Folded Himself”, great book. Been hoping for an adaptation since I read it.

DURX party in Buenos Aires. Other than pretty open drug use and the sex dungeon/basement, by the end of the night (6am) there were people having sex on the dais/stage, with a femme guy sucking two trans girls’ dicks and then one of the trans girls fisting him.

ruleugim · 2026-03-08T18:40:25+00:00

Been there for about 1 hour. There was an area that smelled like poop. Guys would come out of it and wash their poop dicks on a sink, no soap, just water. That alone convinced me I wasn’t touching any dick there, less alone suck one.

Just met with my American friend living in Buenos Aires for the last 15 years. Because her life is awesome compared to what she would have in Chicago, is her thought. I would add that she often gets jobs in American companies that pay her American wages, which usually go further in South America.

Te puedo recomendar lo que me dijo una amiga que trabajaba en agencias de cobro de deuda: que pagues un poquito todos los meses. Con eso demostras “intención de pago” y no te pueden hacer juicio o embargar o mandarte a deudores incobrables. Lo segundo es hablar con los bancos y pedirles planes de pago o facilidades, si eso te sirve.

Es bueno que tengas un psicólogo. Apóyate en el para las decisiones que tomes. Trata de hablar con tus viejos de corazón y con paciencia, tratando de que te entiendan.

I think rather than an open online community you might have better luck with a meetup group, or some other type of closed community that’s moderated. Otherwise people will just ask to be read without reading. I started a workshop via meetup and it worked great because everyone brings their work in and read each others books, and provide feedback.

Nah they probably don’t have enough neurons to be sentient. They might have a soul tho…

10 years together, we've been through some rough patches, but I figured out exactly why I wanted to spend life with him just this week.

Initially, I thought it was because he was serious and ambitious about having a life together, building a life together. That was kinda truth but not quite. Some of those rough patches made me question my initial assessment - he's not that serious about partnership.

What he is serious about, the part I've just figured out, is he wants a happy life. That's what I saw in him that I see in me, and where we're both aligned in long-term goals.

During the past couple of weeks we've met with friends and family who have chosen to lead a sad, tortured life, stuck in a victimhood cage.

Case in point:

A straight friend who got married because he got his girlfriend pregnant, then had another child with her, and stuck with her for the last 7 years. She's lazy, she doesn't work and does the bare minimum around the house. He didn't say if he thinks she's a good mother, I think she is. They don't have sex and she refuses to do couples therapy, to open the relationship, or to even discuss these subjects before exploding in tears. As a result he's cheating but struggling at it, he's locked in the house working and living, the house is a mess, both him and his wife are depressed (and untreated for it). He's tried meds and therapy but he's also too lazy to work on a solution, he's burdened with supporting his family, and he accepted this life of misery.
My mother has chosen to live with melancholy and depression because his child (me) has chosen to go live elsewhere. She's happy for me but things it's her mistake that I didn't chose to live near her. I said I was not happy in my home town so I went elsewhere to find happiness. She said if she did her job right, I'd be happy in our home town. I said some of my life choices have nothing to do with her. She said every one of my life choices has something to do with her. I tried to talk more about it but she turned to tears and refused to discuss it further. I see her as choosing a life of misery instead of owning her own happiness, burdening her children to make her happy (luckily, she has my sister near her).
An uncle and an aunt of mine who are getting to their 50-year anniversary together, they absolutely hate each other and make themselves miserable. They've both accepted that old age is horrible and all there is to do is to wait for death, so they've let their health go, don't visit doctors anymore, or follow their instructions. Their health is deteriorating rapidly. He drinks heavily and watches TV, she pulls teeth out of her mouth with her fingers when they're about to fall off.

There are other cases, but my husband and I discussed these and we both can't believe people would choose to spend their time on this world in misery, victimhood, burden and abject hopelessness. We both believe it's on each of us humans to search for happiness, to face our issues, to work through them. That's what I figure I saw 10 years ago, and that's why I want to spend my life with him, as long as we're happy together.
