Stupid shit in Medellin

[Manizales911]

If you walk around with 3000 or 4000 usd in your wallet, like many of us like to do.

Anyone that walks around with 3-4000 usd in their pocket is a fucking idiot, plain and simple. In any country including the USA.

"Inflation worldwide has really made mongering more dangerous than 5 to 20 years ago. If people that didn't have much to begin had it hard before Covid, what do you think is happening to them now. I think people in Colombia Brazil Mexico are becoming more desperate. Think of how many more homeless we have compared to just 5 years ago. It's a different world now, so be safe. I would take Uber everywhere, no taxis or buses. If you take a bus you are advertising yourself to a lot of people that could take a liking to you and call a kidnapping friend. Quit trying to save a few bucks and take Uber always. ".

The last place anyone is going to kidnap you is on the metro.

If those motobike criminals see you coming out of decent hotel with decent clothes, waiting out front with your iphone watching the uber app.

They going to get you ass today.

Then they see an Uber pull up.

And you jump in, can you guess what's going to happen next?

Fucking DUH. Ash Wednesday.

Yes I realize that now, I just didn't realize ash Wednesday was in February.

[PigSavinBoy]

Wednesday was ash Wednesday.

Both ash Wednesday and valentines.

Just a couple random questions:

Where is the best place near Lleras Park to buy Viagra?

Any recommendations for or against any of the casinos?

Thanks!

I noticed today that a bunch of people are face painting upside down crosses on their foreheads. What is the reason behind this?

Anyone know?

Did you write this on Wednesday, Feb 14th? If so, it was Ash Wednesday which is a Catholic day that recognizes the start of lent.

That's pure fiction, aside from once early in the pandemic, 2020. You and I haven't seen eye to eye for years. Why would anyone here believe that I'm now actively asking you to meet up?

11-10-2022 Message from Paulie97.

"I'll be there early next week, will gladly meet you anywhere you like, and I'll even buy the beer. " and there were others.

That's another lie. I couldn't care less who you call a friend. I did though question why you'd want to hangout with the grandiose cesspool we've know as Osteoknot, or why you cared to defend his vile and inhuman posts that were quickly removed. That takes a lot in ISG.

His posts were removed at his own request. Any more conclusions you want to jump to?

You've been caught in other lies, such as your claim that a "good source" told you that I stayed in hostels, or that I claimed here in ISG to work for minimum wage, while proof was requested. Your mischaracterization of the drugging event was also annhilated. Those posts are recent, early this month and late last month. Why not give them a shot? They are waiting for you to answer point by point, but you won't even answer this one point by point. Instead you'll pluck a quote out of content and recycle more lies, if you answer at all.

So why don't you prove something. Where have you stayed? You characterized Hotel Dorado where I stayed for quite a while as a dumpy la 70 hotel. The truth is that it is one of the nicest hotels outside of Poblado. Was that a lie?

The problem for you is that lacking an education you don't know the difference between a lie and an opinion. I never called you a liar based on your mischaracterization of Hotel Dorado because it was your "uninformed opinion". I would bet serious money you don't stay in any hotels that are comparable. As to your employment, you stated once before that you had no advanced education (which is pretty evident from the plethora of grammatical and spelling errors you publish) and that you had no financial resources of any note. That all sounds like a Walmart worker. You call that a proven lie?? Where is the "proven" part. Show me.

This from the guy who was recently telling people to take cabs while plenty of rogue taxistas are about these days. Uber is now the best plan.

I haved lived here in Medellin for 4 !/2 years and have two other expat friends who have lived here about the same amount of time. None of the 3 of us have ever had a problem with the taxis here in Medellin. Now, some people have claimed to have been taken advantage of in Poblado. But of course that is the tourist hangout and I can imagine that any bad actors would head over there. As to Uber. People here use DiDi or InDriver, both of which have many more operators day and night and you can adjust the price as you see fit.

Also, in the matter of kidnappings, you told people they are safe if they keep their bank account balances low. Thus so, as you see it, the kidnappers would "have no reason to keep you" once the accounts are drained. Nonetheless the aim of many such kidnappings is to ultimately request ransom payments from friends and / or relatives. Your analysis is betrays gross ignorance.

I never said anything at all about kidnappings. I did say that you could protect your financial assets by keeping a lower account balance in the event your card was stolen or cloned. You introduced kidnapping as your counter-point. It was stupid. Kidnappings were typically the work of FARC and / or ELN out in the pueblos. Kidnappings are relatively rate in the larger cities like Bogota, Medellin or Baranquilla. Even so, the best way to protect yourself from being kidnapped is not to be drinking in some bar alone with some Venezuelan hooker. You, of course are the expert on that, now aren't you? You shouldn't blame me that you left whatever common sense you had back in the US.

You could really improve yourself if you took a remedial reading class. I'm sure there are some that you can afford. Maybe then you could write a coherent sentence without mischaracterizing everything that was previously written. Also, you might try proofing what you write so that you don't have childlike mistakes in your screeds.

Over the 7 months I received about $3,000 in payments from 2 different studios, and worked around 25 hours per week, much of it while sitting in a bar with my laptop. Explain the scam.

Man, the shit you brag about says everything about you as a person. First, the $20 hot water heater for the shower then getting $25,000 in debt and hitting rock bottom in Medellin then the "girlfriend" you have while banging her friends and banging hookers on the side and now this.

How much would time would it take you to make $3000 in your trucking job? A week? Two? How much did you spend in the bar?

Do not bother answering the questions. They were rhetorical.

And you want Paulie to explain how you were the sucker? To paraphrase Warren Buffett, If you have been in a poker game for a while, and you still don't know who the sucker is, you're the sucker.

[Gabacho]

My report was cleared that I left Medellin after approx 5 months, and confirmed with immigration officers that I can return within a week to complete my 180 days.

I'm posting this to show that MaddTraveler is wrong, my passport literally proves him wrong LOL. Also to help out any fellow boardmembers with correct information and to correct the false information being posted by people like this guy MaddTraveler.

You are allowed 180 days per calendar year in Colombia. You are given 90 days when you first enter and then you can request an extension for 90 more days by requesting a prorrogar from migracion Colombia. If your 180 days goes into a new calendar year like how mine did then it will state on the green and white prorrogar permit the maximum day you can stay until you reach 180 days. Then you must leave Colombia for one whole day and then you can come right back again and they will give you a new 90 days because it is a new calendar year and clock resets each January 1 but you have to leave for a day and come back to trigger the reset.

If you look at my passport page I have attached, you can clearly see that I was in Colombia from August 15th until Feb 10th. (180 days) I then left and went to Peru from Feb 10 - 12 and then came back to Colombia and they gave me a new 90 days which means I can now stay until May 11,2024. I want to clarify that I did not have to stay out of Colombia for 180 days before returning and getting a new 90 days that was false information posted by MaddTraveler.

Anyone who needs help with how long you can stay or have any other passport or visa questions can feel free to contact me via private message.

Hope this helps.

Gee Paulie why is it then that you send me messages every so often wanting to meet?

That's pure fiction, aside from once early in the pandemic, 2020. You and I haven't seen eye to eye for years. Why would anyone here believe that I'm now actively asking you to meet up?

You always say I should not be friends with this one or that one.

That's another lie. I couldn't care less who you call a friend. I did though question why you'd want to hangout with the grandiose cesspool we've know as Osteoknot, or why you cared to defend his vile and inhuman posts that were quickly removed. That takes a lot in ISG.

They are waiting for you to answer point by point, but you won't even answer this one point by point. Instead you'll pluck a quote out of content and recycle more lies, if you answer at all.

But you see Paulie, those guys are much smarter than you and have something to offer.

This from the guy who was recently telling people to take cabs while plenty of rogue taxistas are about these days. Uber is now the best plan. Also, in the matter of kidnappings, you told people they are safe if they keep their bank account balances low.

Who knows, with any luck this may be the year when you find your 3rd friend.

As was shown earlier, close to 50% of Americans have three or fewer close friends. I'm in pretty good company, especially considering that introverts tend to have few friends but these typically are very close.

https://news.wgcu.org/2023-10-25/how...ed-the-numbers

Though there's some exceptions, most of your retirees camped out in a dangerous 3rd World city are there because they couldn't cut it in the States, whether financially or with family and friends. But we do see who you want to be friends with, chronic liars like Osteoknot and JJBee62. Those are drinking buddies, in a trade off, you listen to each other's BS. I have little interest in those kinds of "friends. ".

But yea, the MO is clear, ignore all challenges then attack lies you've made up in the past or present. Where you are concerned I remain 100% untouched. You are essentially arguing against yourself.

It's the same with JjBee62. I did see his recent wall of text / novel, didn't read it and have no plan to. That's because, just like in person he goes on protracted monologues, and long ago stopped answering my posts point by point. Plus I said I was going to leave him along to conduct his flame wars here in peace. You're about to earn the same favor. Wink.

[JjBee62]

I mean you have time to write Gabacho a novel but no time for my recent posts. But my advice is to stop lying, if you can pull off a miracle. It's just like your pal Vegas Jeff, lies upon lies in self-aggrabdizement, and when that fails lie some more. Why on earth would you listen to someone like that more than 5 minutes? It's like the twerp Villainy who listens for hours the ceasepool that is Osteotwot. Birds of a feather flock together, but moving beyond thqt at age 63 is a tall order indeed, but not impossible. Go get um tiger.

That was a novel? A novel to you is 100-150 words? It's not hard to understand. He wrote a short post asking a question. Reading his post and responding took 5 minutes. Until this morning I didn't have the time to read your posts, beginning with your first in this round, which you claimed would be the last. Now, thanks to a burst pipe, I have some time, maybe enough time for a novel.

Let's start with this one. You understand, you are attacking a dead man, who you never met, claiming he was a liar? Don't you find your "are. I. P. " ironic, since you're the only one disturbing that peace? I met and over a 4-5 month period, spent a considerable amount of time with VegasJeff. Many others from ISG and other boards met him as well. Some who met him didn't like him. His stories bordered on unbelievable, until you spent an afternoon with him and witnessed first hand his antics. For the record, I told him, to his face, instead of in a pathetic, passive-aggressive post years after his death, I thought "he was 10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb sack. " he laughed, because he had, over the course of several days, shown me things most people never experience. He had his faults, but he was a good man and a good friend.

I'm not going to bother going back to each of your attack posts, written after your "last attack" post, so I'll probably miss a bit of your insanity. However, there's no risk that will ever be in short supply.

I've asked several times how the webcam model "scammed", "gipped", or otherwise ripped me off. You've never answered, you merely repeat yourself. I'll ask again. First, to set the stage.

A webcam model said she was opening a studio and asked if I would be interested in working in it, as a monitor. A monitor guides the model, moderates chat, assists with translation, all done while sitting in front of a computer. Monitors are paid a percentage of the model's earnings. It's difficult to scam from there. Earnings depend on number of models, popularity of models, work ethic of models and more, none under the monitor's control. I agreed and stayed rent free in one of the studio apartments for over 9 months, although I ended the business relationship with the model after 7 months. During the 9 months, I paid half the utilities, about $25 per month and the fiber internet, $130 per month. Over the 7 months I received about $3,000 in payments from 2 different studios, and worked around 25 hours per week, much of it while sitting in a bar with my laptop.

Explain the scam. The studio never got off the ground. The model, for most of the period, was paying rent on 3 Poblado, 3 bedroom apartments, 1 of which wouldn't have been needed, except I was taking up a bedroom in the other. In order to get me to spend my money on having a good time, none of which went to them, the model and her boyfriend spent around $5 k USD. Explain how exactly that scam works. Were false assumptions made? Sure, by all parties. Was there malicious intent? No. So explain it. No more logical fallacies, just a simple explanation of the mechanics of the scam.

Moving on to the ex-pat I supposedly scammed, left holding the bag, skipped out on unpaid bills. Have you talked to him? Have you even met him? You were notably absent when we met for breakfast last week. You also didn't get the invite all the other times we've met up over the past 5 years. He must be a real fool to continue a friendship with a guy who supposedly cheated him. Funny.

The ex-pat in question has been living and successfully running businesses in Medellin for 15 years. In 2017 he approached me about opening a webcam studio. A webcam studio requires a few things, like cameras, computers, internet connections, models, at least 1 monitor, toys and costumes. Did I leave anything out? There is 1 other thing. Since a naked woman masturbating in public is sure to draw a crowd, having an actual studio is important. He rented 1 and I stayed in it, which only makes sense. He hired a guy to find models, the guy never found 1. The couple I hired quit after 6 weeks. The boyfriend was making it impossible to work anyway.

My agreement with the ex-pat was to pay for internet and utilities, which I did through the end of the lease. After I left he sublet the apartment. His losses were minimal. We remain friends.

I'm sure there's more, but I'm weary of repeating the same thing every 3-6 months when you decide to post your wildly inaccurate version of events. You'll just have to enjoy your departure from reality without me.
