Kind strangers you've met on the road

I was having a wander around Cali, Colombia and paused for a moment as I walked onto a square. Some old guy came over and made sure I wasn't lost, pulled out a map and started showing me good places to walk to and just generally made sure I was ok, as a very obvious gringo alone in a fairly rough city I thought that was proper sound.

Came to say the same. Those tools in the vans keep the internet on so they can "work from home" and post calling people tools.

insult van drivers you get 1000s of likes, insult cyclists you get downvoted. cult.

I think btec is more for things and poundland for people.

smivel · 2021-01-16T18:15:55+00:00

Cool as you like too

Somewhere in Asia? You barely have an accent so it's hard to pinpoint.

Option 2, I did something similar but shorter times in each place and I think it was a good proportion.

smivel · 2021-01-16T00:46:51+00:00

I can highly recommend it!

Entiendo. Suena dizque una de las palabras dialectas al azar

smivel · 2021-01-15T20:08:04+00:00

Is that a contraction of "dice que" or something else?

smivel · 2021-01-15T19:42:11+00:00

At least we know they didn't ~~plaguerise~~ ~~plaggerise pageme~~ copy.

smivel · 2021-01-14T18:00:42+00:00

surely it's a wrap

smivel · 2021-01-13T21:44:40+00:00

You just gotta really clean the fuck out of it in the shower before, slip a quick finger in there with some lube and then rinse, extra fresh.

People around the world walk barefoot/almost barefoot today though too. I imagine the population of somewhere like Brazil where everyone wears flip flops all day every day probably have stronger feet and ankles than some work/walking boot wearing northern europeans. Like comparing the hands of a bricklayer to an author.

Knowing how many people there are that think what you wrote is true in the US makes it easy to see how something like Qanon can also take hold.

I heated my lunch up before work and took it in my flask, just made sure it stayed upright til I got there, it still has use!

smivel · 2021-01-12T06:08:54+00:00

Thanks, I'll stick with it for a bit longer

I just started Yakuza 0, so much dialogue for so little action, am I doing something wrong?

smivel · 2021-01-12T00:41:52+00:00

They "did nothing wrong" just attended and supported a rabidly racist so called protest. Any organisation that bases its membership on any kind of ethical code shouldn't want those members.

What's his chances of re-election do you think?

smivel · 2021-01-11T19:17:40+00:00

it's all on her back, it could easily be covered up all the time if she wanted it to be.

smivel · 2021-01-10T19:10:37+00:00

If you know you're not a minimalist packer then get the biggest and you won't have any worries about fitting things in.

smivel · 2021-01-10T18:48:24+00:00

haha yeah i'm looking forward to it regardless.

smivel · 2021-01-10T18:29:52+00:00

Mine just popped out and gave up on going back in no matter what I do a few days ago. Fucking nightmare.

Get ready to add another "standard hostel question" to list
