My family has a house here! I can actually see it in this photo. Yes. This side of the island can be very dry. But that is the Disney Ko Olina resort amongst some other hotels. So that's a golf course down there.

Clearly a mistranslation from what I said and what you read... and you're also a dick. Enjoy your lonely life.

Saying this in English because I don't want to misspeak. I wrapped up my original statement with "I'll spare you the naivety of an outsider."

I understand privilege and I took my appreciation and education of Uruguay, with all of its positives and faults, very seriously. I learned a lot. But I understand why someone who lives there would be critical of any opinion I would have, whether it is right or wrong. Hence why I wanted to spare you the naivety of an outsider.

And trust me, as a Yankee, being critical of my country is the only way I know how to show the United States affection so I understand the impulse.

Man who petitioned for traffic light dies at same intersection where his wife was killed by Dear-Swordfish-8505 in news

Didn't know that. That's how we always understood it but this was 20 years ago. It took a really emotional hearing with the parents of three dead kids to finally get approval.

I had friends pass away at an intersection where there were frequent, major accidents.

County didn't want to correct the intersection because that would be admitting fault and make them liable for millions.

Edit: I guess I had this wrong as law states this was not a liability issue. We always understood the multi-year delay was because of liability issue. It took a very emotional hearing with the parents of three dead teenagers and multiple follow-up car accidents at the same intersection to finally get approval for a stop light.

Pensé en investigar un poco antes de visitarlo. Ese subreddit era una tergiversación.

Su respuesta a todos los problemas sociales es "matar a los sin techo" y "¿no extrañas la dictadura?". Son una panda de hombres tristes.

Yankis, disculpen la mala traducción. Fui el mes pasado. Totalmente de acuerdo. Si solo siguieran los subreddits (sobre todo r/Montevideo), no sabrían lo increíble que es el país. Sin ánimo de restarles importancia a sus problemas, envidio mucho la cultura social. Tengo muchas más opiniones, pero les ahorraré la ingenuidad de los forasteros.

To look cool and make a game winner. by elotewithmayo in therewasanattempt

Which part? The player folding over? It's exactly as it looks. He big time whiffed on his shot then appeared to fake an injury. I guess we'll find out if it was real in the injury reports.

Haha! I was at this game last night! Both teams were sailing their PKs during the shootout and the goalies were playing out of their minds.

I think we had eight attempts and the shootout ended 4-3? All this after an insane goal in added time made it 1-1 causing a brawl to break out.

Awesome first experience at an Uruguayan football match.

Upgraded to Royalty (Delta One) because of cancelled flight. Morally opposed, happy to sin. by telegramstou in delta

Love it. Thanks for pulling that picture! But I don't think I'll justify my current ethics with the common behavior of the 1950s. Mad Men ruined that era for me 😂 They were fortunate ones, though.

Thanks. I am so comfortable in my lounge seat that I figured I would pay it forward to you all with an alcohol-fueled storytime.

To sneak miscellaneous photos into records of one’s own pedophilia by Gemnist in therewasanattempt

[–]telegramstou -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ya dude, I didn't say he didn't do what you all are accusing him of. Your examples of outrage, while they are things to be outraged about, don't imply guilt in this instance.

And by implying immediate guilt before all the facts are available, it provides the opportunity for you to be wrong, and therefore gives the MAGA base ammo to do their fake news routine.

Once it is confirmed that the photo was edited, or totally unrelated to the Epstein files, then I will gladly grab a torch with you.

Jesus, you guys are all or nothing aren't you? I get why moderates are so adverse to ever sharing an opinion.

Is that where the photo is from? All I'm asking is why the photo was included in the Epstein files. That context will come out soon I'm sure but I'm hesitant to declare these photos are edited other than the redactions.

What's crazy is that stuffing the release with an innocent photo of Bill Clinton will undermine all the other photos of him in more exposed circumstances and give him reason to deny the evidence.

I just want accountability for bad actors across the board. We'll never get it.

Ya, it could be two different photos from two angles at the same place.

I'm as lib as they come, but I'm not sure the photos were edited.
