Stupid Shit in Tijuana

[Gabacho]

You guys are insane, complaining about Tijuana. Where else are you going to go. Every where is expensive now. I was In Vegas last week, prices are totally insane. Now I am in MTY, MTY is getting extremely expensive especially for lodging. Lodging is cheaper in CDMX, but the restaurant can be very expensive. What we do takes money, sorry.

Please let us know a cheaper destination, that is safe for sex tourist, Colombia is definitely not an option, unless you have very low standards and do not mind there be. S.

Actually putting our differences aside tho, I just noticed something very strange about the USD / MXN exchange rate and the price of tacos. Mexico may actually be manipulating their exchange rate to make it be lower than it should be. For example if you look back at the USD / MXN charts and prices of tacos you will see that the price of a street taco in Tijuana has been pretty much the equivalentamount in pesos of One US Dollar.

Even going back to to the year 2013 when 1 US dollar was 12 Mexican pesos street tacos were about 10-12 pesos each. A few years later in 2015 the exchange rate was 1 usd=15 mxn and tacos in 2015 were about 15 or 16 pesos. The in 2019 and 2020 (up until covid) the exchange rate hovered around 19 or 20 pesos per dollar and the taco was sold for about 18 pesos at most street carts.

The covid hit and the exchange rate went as high as 25 pesos per dollar but tacos stayed relatively the same around 18 to 20 pesos per taco.

Now post covid all the sudden the dollar has gone back down to 16 pesos per dollar and the taco has skyrocketed to 32 pesos per taco. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The last time that the dollar was 16 pesos was back in 2015 and tacos at that time were 15 or 16 pesos per taco. So if the dollar is again at 2015 levels the so should be the taco but it's not, it's at 32 pesos. So something is wrong. Between the end of covid like 2022 and now 2024 something has screwed up either the price of the tacos or the exchange rate or both.

I think Banxico may be somehow manipulating the peso to make it artificially overvalued in comparison to the dollar and this is in turn pushing the prices of the tacos higher than they should be as well. Either the taco needs to come down or the peso needs to go up but somehow something is off in comparison to how it has always been going back over a decade.

More realistically if Banxico wasn't manipulating anything the USD / MXN exchange rate should probably be somewhere between 22 to 24 pesos per dollar right now and the price of a taco should also be around 22 pesos.

There's no competition. Colombia and specifically Medellin is a million times better than Tijuana or anywhere else in Mexico for that matter. I've been in Colombia since August and I'm perfectly satisfied.

Yea Tijuana is a ripoff now. The last time. I was passing thru I stopped to eat tacos at a taco cart by the border and they were selling tacos de asada for 32 pesos each. With the exchange rate having lowered to only 16 that makes it $2 per taco. Such a fucking ripoff. When I lived there it was always 20 pesos per dollar and 18 pesos per taco. Tijuana has become a ripoff now. It's best just to leave Tijuana in the rear view mirror as to not tarnish the memories I have in my mind.

Any updates on the website?

I was in touch with El Jefe recently but very briefly. To be honest I just think he gave up on it all. The reasons for the site being down doesn't really add up to me unless he was embarrassed that he didn't have anything backed up and wanted out without looking bad. At least that is the feeling I got from it.

Regardless even if it did come back it would take forever to get it back up to steam again and with Tijuana getting all messed up price wise it may not even be worth the effort.

On to new endeavors and a new era.

I am back in NYC anyways.

[BrotherMouzone]

Just heard from El Jefe. The ransomware attack happened on his work servers as well. He is currently negotiating with Russian hackers to get his content back.

That is the downside of technology. He is working diligently on the issue as I write this.

Well to be safe I guess I need to bring my opinions over to this thread. I mean one time I accused the captain of posting FAKE NEWS and I was put on mod. Review. But from what I can tell I guess we can pretty much say anything and not get in trouble.

So I'm very impressed with with what Sol12 posts very accurate Tijuana related info. And I love hearing Riky post his stories about dating the diablo. But the captain I get dizzy reading all the bullshit he posts. But don't worry Sol all the veterans over here know about him and his babbling. But I can see your concern for the newbees who might actually believe anything flying off his keyboard.

I'm not sure why they put up with him over maybe they find his content entertaining. But I'm sure there is a good reason those other sites dealing strictly with Tijuana have banned him.

Yeah I get confused at times as well fir that reason I don't try to insult other members in a very had way or start some immature flame war. The funny thing is that if he didn't say so much misinformation about what he thinks goes on in HK or how he thinks he knows anything about the Cartels he would have some good information to provide and I do respect than he is the ink vet that makes an effort to show new guys around. I could easily put a theory out on why he does what he does but no need to beat a man when he's down.

I know those that are familiar with Tijuana just ignore him and sometimes others call him out but he's just acts like we are picking on him and instead of addressing the issue like a man he acts like a kid and just takes his ball and goes home.

I'm not sure of his antics on the other boards I don't remember him from Chica Chica or TJA so maybe he was on the other pay sites. If the mods on this site are happy with him that's fine I don't believe on guys being banned for saying lies I met Jackson many years ago and he seems to let us post what we want for the most part. I remember Nibu Raphel and all the crazy posts he made and how hard it was to follow what he posted but it was entertainment and he didn't hurt anyone. I just don't respect people that make poor posts and when I question them on it they either ignore my question or they turn things around to make it seem like they are being picked on.

but to each his own.

Agreed. IMO, the main objective of a monger website is to get people to exchange information. Therefore, you want to minimize needless arguments and bickering, and shut down topics that are super divisive such as politics, race, or religion. Both Chicabow and Tijuana Talk failed miserably at fostering such an environment. El Jefe can turn into asshole very quickly if you disagree with him. And Tijuana Talk was good for a while, but became short-sighted. They let the site deteriorate into a shitpile of political arguments during COVID because they were concerned about retaining members.

Last but not least, thanks for the reports and info on Tijuana. I hope to contribute with some reports of my own once I get back down to Adult Disneyland.

No, it's the downside of not having proper site security and good backups.

100%. However, it's a bit surprising that El Jefe didn't have a good backup. Even though he can be a pain to deal with, he seemed on top of the technical aspects of running a website. Maybe he hired someone to build the site?

Chicabow is currently down but Jefe had some sort of "test" site up there last week where he explained that he was in the process of getting things back up and running again and that everyone might have to re-register. He explained that he was the victim of a ransomware attack. Seems he wasn't targeted by the attack specifically but all his data was impacted since it was on the server that got attacked.

Quality of site moderation is subjective. I strongly prefer the moderation on this site compared to chicabow. El Hefe is extremely opinionated, argumentative, and is literally in every thread. Here the mods let us hash things out rather than trying to control every aspect of the discussion.

Also, there's Tijuana Talk. That site is similar to chicabow.

Well yes, obviously it's subjective and I was just giving my own personal opinion. Personally don't like wading through all the BS here but to each his own. At the end of the day, ISG is decent enough to still read through.

Don't frequent the various Tijuana boards enough or pay close enough attention to be familiar with all the various personalities, though I will say I did notice El Jefe tends to be in most or all of the threads I read over at Chicabow. Never personally noticed him being "extremely opinionated", "argumentative", or over-controlling, though I'm guessing you would probably know better than me. Struck me as a nice enough guy who's given "likes" (or whatever that award system is over there) to several of my posts and never taken any posts of mine down that I can recall.

But thanks for the mention of Tijuana Talk. Checked it out last week and even registered but it seems that most of the threads are behind a paywall? Will likely pass on paying to read discussion about Tijuana hookers, thanks.

Burt told me personally that he didn't know who El Fanatico was. I always wondered who El Fanatico was. Best guess was Milkman. But that's old news. Even older is who Tijuana Hombre was. Who became Hombre and Sampson told me who Hombre's other handle is and I about shit myself because it was too obvious.

If this is all Greek. Well sorry. Indeed I am also a long long time Tijuana board member ala RedSnake days. But guess it is all Stupid Shit in the end. Would hope to meet Kendricks again before I retire.

The old days.

Many years since I have seen Milkman.

CarneChaser,

El Jefe was just a stupid loser, low life asshole. He hassled then banned me. I told him I wanted out of his stupid site and wanted all my posts deleted. He refused to do it but kept all my posts under a different name. He also copied my posts in ISG and reposts them under a different call sign without my approval.

I also thought he had no first-hand experiences in Tijuana but acted like he knew everything. Not sure how Artiste was related to him but he asked me if I wanted back in. I told him a definite no! I would never waste time dealing with that kind of stupid, lying, low life loser.

Don't know why Artiste is so impressed with that stupid ignorant loser.

I enjoy all the Captain Solo postings. But I disagree with his view on El Jefe. It's not easy running a forum. But the person running the forum has the right to censor posts.

If Captain Solo ever wants to try to build and run a forum, he'll realize that it's a major pain.

[Artisttyp]

And Captain you are right on with your assessments too. That loser would stick his nose in every single post. I guess it had more do to with the fact that no one else would post on his site except Artisttyp. The guy only tried to get into the forum field because he was obsessed with the TijuanaTalk owner and wanted to start a like forum after he was booted from that site. Well, it didn't go so well. It was pretty much com

" Hello my name is Artisttyp and I am an addict. ".

Never thought I would respond to any Stupid Shit thread. Not my style but here it is.

YES I am Sonero on the other Tijuana forums. Just to be clear I was never booted from TJTalk or Tijuana amigos. When Amigos folded I was asked to assist with what is now TJtalk by the moderators but they negged on the deal. At that point I just left and started posting on Chicbow where I was gladly welcomed. Surprisingly the moderators from TJtallk were pissed off at me for doing it. I left in peace but then they dropped the Amigos book on me which I thought was unprofessional. I had already left the building quietly. El Jefe was fair to me and was open to new ideas. I don't approve of his debate style moderating but it wasn't my place to tell him how to run his forum. I do however very much appreciate the respect he showed for me.

YES I was obsessed with TJtalk. I hated that they took a really fun website like TJA and turned it into a paid want to be corporate " pay for " website run by a female who doesn't monger and parrots all her information from other people then tries to make it her own. I was friends with Ranchero1 who had respect for me as a monger and to whom I held in high regard. He was the real deal. Once he left it wasn't the same for various reasons.

At this point in the game I prefer when mongering was just by word of mouth. A lot of my older trips to SA and such were built by just that. Talking to other mongers in the field sharing info. Boots on the ground reporting from guys who actually spend extended time in these places. My knowledge is learned through them.

I hate social media. However most mongering involves it in some way. I'd rather go old school style but that's gone for now.

Find information anyway you feel comfortable no matter what website you get it from. There are a few to choose from.

And like always I urge everyone to Live Life, Eat Ass!

PEACE.
