Stupid shit in Medellin

[PigSavinBoy]

So, how often do the Medellin working women actually work, aka fuck?

My fucks per month guestimates:

Centro SW: 15-40.

Centro casa girl: 15-50.

Centro stripper: 10-20.

FB chica: 5-15.

One Centro SW once told me (out of the blue) that she slept with 120 men (and was extremely curious how many women did I sleep with; told her she was my first of course).

Knowing women, the real number is probably x2 or more, though I was surprised she was even counting at that point.

She was 21 at the time, worked every day 2 pm until 6 pm except Sunday and seemed to have at least one client every day. So that is at least 26 fucks per month, which, assuming 40 mil per fuck, adds up to the minimum wage of 1 k mil, for the total of 13 hours time spent on the back.

Did you also send him something saying how bad the making of lithium batteries is for the environment? We got talked into fossil fuels because they convinced everyone how the horse shit all over the place was bad for the environment. Now we are being talked into lithium because the fossil fuel is bad for the environment. We just go from one bad thing to another bad thing. Just a matter of convincing people (first worlders) how bad the current bad thing is.

At least electric is cheaper. I heard from a friend, gas is up to 8. 00 $ a gallon in some parts of California. Charge times still suck though.

No. And no, we didn't get talked into fossil fuels as a replacement for horses because of horseshit.

Quantitatively, which is worse for the environment, making lithium-ion batteries, or burning about 3 trillion gallons of gas and diesel each year? Don't forget that, once a battery is made, it's environmental impact is negligible until it needs to be disposed.

I'm surprised you didn't mention that our current electric grid can't handle charging 150 million electric vehicles.

It's how progress works. It's also how capitalism works. Choose which one you want to get rid of.

Progress finds a better way, without considering there's always a downside to change. Often we make things worse to make things better. Think of the impact of building a national network of highways. Was it worth it? In 1919 the Army sent a convoy from Washington DC to San Francisco, to test cross country travel capabilities. It took 62 days. Today I could do the trip in 3 days by car, or 4 days by truck (legally). In 1927 it took 33 hours for 1 man to fly from NYC to Paris. Today it takes 7 hours and costs less than $500 and thousands make the trip daily. If you're going to throw out the environmental impact of making lithium-ion batteries, I expect you to throw away your cellphones, laptops and tablets. While you're at it, you shouldn't be flying anywhere from now on. Yeah. Them damn aircraft manufacturers have been busy switching to Lithium-ion batteries, because they're lighter and more cost effective.

Capitalism then? The reason cars replaced horses is because some smart capitalists quickly realized there was a lot more profit opportunities in automobiles. Same reason trains replaced barges on canals. Same reason why every auto manufacturer is advertising their electric vehicles. Profit. We've had the technology to build electric vehicles for 60 years. Now there's a market. Toyota proved there was money in the hybrid market 25 years ago. It had nothing to do with a bunch of tree huggers singing "Kumbayah" and handing out flowers. It all came from a bunch of rich Japanese guys who realized they could make more money by adding a hybrid.

Progress goes nowhere if there's no profit in it.

It's always been the same strategy. It's disappointing so few people can see through it. Sure making batteries isn't environmentally friendly. Neither is drilling, transporting, refining and burning oil.

It pains me to no end to agree with Elvis. But when we want your opinion MB1 & CL. we'll give it to you.

Thanks for the kind offer V but no thanks. However it's nice to see you two agree on something even if it's painful, It's progress.

Its not just about any public place. Its not Calle 10. Its the freaking immigration line for extranjeros!!

I do believe weekend millionaires do have an effect. Roughly about 2 k active profiles (logged within the past 2 months) on SA Med, therefore, as more tourists come so will the price move, both PPM and overnights. What I found fascinating was sheer number of students / office chicas on monthly or weekly support and showing off expensive gifts like phones and bikes. SA gringos are burning cash in style. Hehehe.

Sure. But SA makes up a tiny percentage of the available women. Same thing with Gusto girls. If you go on SA, you'll probably be paying SA prices. If you go to Gusto, you'll probably be paying Gusto prices. If you go to Botero Plaza, what someone spent in Gusto last night has no effect on the price you'll pay.

At the family Thanksgiving dinner one of my relatives, after another relative arrived to provide moral support, started on a rant about electric vehicles and alternative energy.
I sent him that information along with an excellent article on the subject from ExxonMobil (who are thrilled about the future of wind energy). No reply.

Why don't you end your never ending battle that has nothing to do with mongering or Medellin or keep fighting via PM?

This is not a freaking investment forum, jeez. Nobody gives a fuck about your investment strategies

You read my mind and that of many others here MB1! I think they should kiss and makeup. That could be a whole new topic of discussion.

I feel sorry for you Miami Boy. You must have had one of your so called sugar babies tape you to the monitor and force you to read this thread. If not, then what are you mouthing off about it? Maybe you can join one of those cancel culture outlets and scroll around all day and read something that offends you and pisses you off and gets someone cancelled. Maybe you can get paid for your bitching then.

This is called the stupid shit thread, junior, and this is some of the stupidest shit there is.

I got my balls out for Medellin.

What type of crusade are you on?

Showing pictures of girls and talking loudly about paying for sex in a public place isn't mongering. It's just someone without a clue behaving badly.

It was a joke! The "idiots" part was the clue like a double negative. You say showing pix of girls and talking about sex in public is not mongering. Disagree because he could be indirectly trying to chat a guy up to find a fellow monger to get info on women or hoping some girl who needs money will overhear him and approach him. Slim and not likely so I give you that. But his public stupidity and the more and more guys showing this behavior affects ALL us mongers in a negative way even if we are simple tourists. Locals will stereotype all foreigners as sex tourists. Whether he was mongering or not was not the main point. The main point was he was announcing he was a monger to an audience that was I am sure a very high majority of non-mongers. That is a huge problem for everyone on this site.

SankarShetty's post is another example that there is in fact bad ways to monger (and / or be a monger) and overpaying does effect others. I have posted about it several times using others tourist reports as proof per their observations.

Your second comment is just as silly as the first one. Two week millionaires and sugar daddies do have an effect on prices, of individual women. If a girl has a guy paying her 500 k and up every day, she's probably not interested in taking 30 k from someone else. It's exactly the same as what happened when my boss gave me a 40% pay raise early this year. He changed the amount of money it will cost another employer to gain my services, but he didn't change the pay scale for everyone else.

There might be 100,000 women in Medellin who will accept some form of payment for sex. A handful of gringos who visit a few times per year won't cause all of them to double or triple their prices.

I'll simplify it.

If a girl is making enough money to support herself and her family, she doesn't need to fuck every random asshole who waves a few dollars at her. If a girl has no money for food and the kids need medicine, then she's going to do whatever it takes to get the money she needs.

How many times can I say it. You can't read and your analytical skills are similar to those of a 5th grader.

You know why I didn't get killed, in fact am up nicely for the year?? It would take too much analytical skill from someone like you. So I'll just tell you.

A. I don't own the REIT index, I own specific REITs that I think were oversold and have great businesses.

B. I didn't own the 9 REITs I currently hold at the beginning of the year. I had only 1 to begin the year. The other 8 I bought mostly in the 2nd and 3rd quarter after I had seen them drop far more than was warranted.

C. Every one of the REITs I own have raised their dividend since I bought them and none have lowered their dividend.

So why not Loan Participation Funds? I don't think rates are going to continue to increase very far into the future. The brunt of the rate increases are behind us. Sure there are going to be a few more Fed funds rate increases but I see them stopping early to mid-year 2023 at the latest. The market is anticipatory and that is why you've seen a serious rally the last few weeks.

No, Elvis. I'm sorry you still need to get your GED and then take a few college courses. Bonds have suffered for years when rates have increased. I don't just mean that their value has dropped (that is a given since rates and price have an inverse relationship). I'm talking about redemptions first and defaults second.

One of the considerations I evaluated prior to investing in one of the REITs I own was the quality of their tenants. So you see, the tenants in my REITs are high quality / high rated businesses. They don't take out variable rate loans and on the few occasions when they do. They pay them back immediately as rates start to drift upwards. So we just aren't talking about the same types of borrowers.

I have to guess that he wouldn't think very much of your predictions on interest rates either. Especially if he knew what a analytical joke you were when it came to predicting the number of CoVid cases.

If I were a lot younger I might indeed go that route. But I'm retired, I was delighted, no exhilarated to cash in some of my long held winners and start converting them into long-term quality dividend payers. Unlike you, I can read and I am certain that the individual REITs and dividend payers I selected will be increasing in value and raising their dividends irrespective of what happens to the economy in 2023 or beyond.

You just discovered it so it must be new?? The Fed has been announcing their rate decisions and publishing their reasoning for at least a decade.

No, Elvis. I criticized you because you didn't make any of the trades you claim. It was all Monday morning quarterback blather. Just like the 2500% winner you claimed that you picked a while back.

Where is the evidence? It would be easy to prove you actually did what you said?? No. It is just all made up. Everyone knows you are, well, undereducated. You try your hardest to post rehashed articles that you read or saw to try to impress people. You did the same thing consistently during the CoVid pandemic. Now you are doing the same thing with investing. You're just a windbag.

Oh and by the way, if you think I am SO wrong in my investment selections, I would be glad, no delighted to list them for you so that you could short every single one of them.

This is completely unrelated, topically, but there's an essential similarity you might appreciate.

At the family Thanksgiving dinner one of my relatives, after another relative arrived to provide moral support, started on a rant about electric vehicles and alternative energy. I ignored it, because it's not worth trying to explain the concept of incremental change to someone who can't grasp the concept.

Then he guaranteed that "every one of those wind turbines holds 30,000 gallons of oil. " I didn't say anything, just gave him a look. After he tried to argue his point, I just said, "I'm pretty sure that's not right" and reached for my phone. End of conversation.

For the record, the largest wind turbines have about 370 gallons of oil in the main gearbox. There are also a few smaller oil sumps for blade pitch control gears and bearings, and current lubricants are good for 7-10 years.

I sent him that information along with an excellent article on the subject from ExxonMobil (who are thrilled about the future of wind energy). No reply.

I'll let you get back to the financial disclosure forms and will hit you up in a few weeks for lunch.

I think you points are valid and I appreciate that you made them without calling anyone an idiot.

Baby steps, I'm trying to be less of an asshole without losing my assholish charm.
