Medellin Chit Chat Thread

But that's where it ended up, jaja.

The Tussi is not like any other drug on the market and represents a new wave of drugs that will soon be marketed by Big Pharma to "optimize and enhance" your life even if there is nothing really "wrong" with you to begin with.

Where did you get your information from? About 50 years ago there was a drug called MDA that was basically the original Tussi or Molly type drug. It has never become legal. So, Tussi is not really New Wave and your prediction that it will become legal is baseless unless you have some sort of proof like you require from others.

Guys,

If you don't want to use a taxi to get from the airport to Medellin city centre, then there are great little buses that run every 15 minutes.

- Come out of the airport and there will be taxi touts offering you their services. Just say "No gracias" and continue walking to the front of the taxi queue and you will see at least a couple of small buses waiting.

- There will be a guy working for the bus company and just ask him if the bus goes to Medellin ("centro de Medellin?" or "San Diego centro commercial?

- Give him your luggage and he will give you a green slip as receipt and store your suitcase in the boot. Take your valuables with you in the bus.

- Just take a seat. You pay the fare (13 K) when you leave the bus. Have cash ready, doesn't need to be the exact amount as the driver has change.

- The journey is about 30 minutes and the buses are very comfortable and modern.

- You will be dropped off at the San Diego shopping mall.

- From here, there is a queue of yellow cabs waiting, and just jump into one and head to wherever your hotel is. I went to a hotel 2 miles away at calle 61 and the fare was just 9 K in the taxi.

The driver was a nice old man who actually waited for me till I got inside the hotel (it is not the best area) to make sure I was safe.

It was all pretty painless actually. I don't feel safe using airport taxis, especially in countries like this one, and I would recommend the bus option.

I created an account just to say how much I agree with this post. Bravo.

First of all, not all drugs are the same. Heroin is not penicillin. Oxygen is a drug. Water will kill you if you drink too much from hyponatremia, among other electrolyte imbalances. Room air, or the air you normally breathe is only 21% oxygen. Most of what you respire is nitrogen. 100% oxygen is toxic due to the damage done by the caustic and abrasive singlet oxygen free radicals.

BTW, this is all off the top of my head, maybe you can find errors if you are so inclined, jeje.

We are at a tipping point in the history of pharmaceutical drugs right now. Elon Musk sees it when he toys with his detractors about his marijuana use. The pharmaceutical companies are poised. Cannabis clinics flourish and now there are IV ketamine clinics.

Heroin is not alcohol, cigarettes are not cannabis, crack is not methamphetamine.

Yet again, I am presenting from a viewpoint of education, background, personal and professional experience. But I don't like to talk about intelligence or credentials unless it's a professional setting (someone's getting paid for their advice) because I believe concepts should stand on their own.

Intelligence is the most overrated human characteristic of all time..

Dear Moderator,

May I respectfully and humbly request the attempts at Spanish lessons be moved to its own thread or combined with the stupid shit thread? It's off topic and, incidentally, of inconsistent accuracy. Please and thank you.

Curious to know whether one can use talvez instead of quizas.

[Osteoknot]

Yes. Those two words are synonyms.

You ain't kidding when you said you studied the language. Strong work.

What did you do with your spare time, jeje?

There is a huge difference between addiction and dependence and recreational use. I go pretty soft on the people who lump all recreational drugs as "bad and evil" because usually they have intense negative personal experiences with family members. Daddy hit mommy after drinking. Sister stole from everyone to support her habit. Little Johnny had to watch his mom turn tricks to get money for dope. You get the idea. That is some pretty heavy duty environmental influence leading to bias.

Speaking of bias, guess what the greatest bias and prejudice of all time is?

Reality bias. Reality is for people who can't handle their drugs, jajajajjaaja.

Ostee Out, more to come.

The current stats are nothing than more markers for a dwindling disease, at best. Some regions and countries are getting it right by claiming the epidemic is over and ignoring the data. Future state depends mainly on the appearance of any new variants, but those who are unvaccinated will be playing catch up and may encounter legal problems from trying to needlessly beat the system. Every new vaccine has a predictable percentage of anti-vaxers, and their arguments are just as predictable, uninformed, and pedestrian, every time.

This was the Purrfekt Storm and the worst managed vaccine program in history partly because of some novel behaviors in the virus, but mainly because this was the first worldwide epidemic since the invention of the Internet. Information overload, unprepared, Classic GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out, for results.

If a different virus appear on the horizon, with a significantly higher attack and mortality rate, and we don't use lessons learned from this giant Klusterfuk, it will be the end of mankind. Add it to the list for the Doomsayers worried about Super Volcano, Deep Space Gamma Ray burst, Comet Impact, Nuclear Holocaust, Zombie Apocalypse, and Global Warming.

I have been predicting for 30 years that if the end of mankind comes, it will be from infectious disease. Consider Covid a "warning shots across the bow" from the Cosmic Blueberry Muffin or whatever it is you turn to in you bleakest moments.

Now you may to your Piranha Pool, jeje.

"400 mil pesos? Qué rico amor, te entiendo. Pero siempre pago 200 Mill por un rato. Quizás encuentro te un otro día."

"Quizas encuentro te un otro día"

You want 'quizás te encuentro' and you don't use un with otro; it's included. Otro means both 'other' and 'another. ' Therefore 'un otro' and 'una otra' would be redundant.

Just ask her "Que quieres hacer conmigo?" What do you want to do with me? You'll get an answer that indicates her interest.

Designed specifically for Medellin. I have not done enough field testing to say "it works" but my Gestalt is that it does. I also designed it for when you only have seconds to spare. Normally I get a response of amusement, and yes, I agree, include your Whassap number.

"Te gustara ser mi novia por dos horas?

Or, "Would you like to be my girlfriend for two hours?" You can use whatever number for the hours that fits the situation. I use it anywhere, anytime.

If they say yes, you will get laid. Delivery is key. If you look or sound like a lecherous serial axe murderer, then don't expect results, jajja. I've never had anyone get pissed or upset but of course I've had some rejections. If you have fear of rejection, then don't try it. When she says yes, have a specific plan in mind for the follow up right then and there. Seize the moment. Fuck her in the next 30 minutes or that night at the latest before you lose momentum.

I should not share this pearl because if it gets too widely used I believe it will lose effectiveness. However, I love you guys and I will simply think of a new and better line. Jajajajjaa, let's Keep On Keepin' On, together.

Was at Patrick's Irish Pub recently and hit it off with one of the waitresses. She said she's free tomorrow but wasn't sure if she was saying that she's available or if she's just telling me that. Has anyone gone out / gone for GFE with the waitresses at the Pub or other establishments? TIA.

I've gone out with waitresses from other places, not Patrick's. If she tells you she's free, she's interested in spending time with you. That could mean she wants you to take her shopping, or it could mean she wants to get nasty with you, most likely for money.

Just ask her "Que quieres hacer conmigo?" What do you want to do with me? You'll get an answer that indicates her interest.

I really like them and the local teams shirts like AN (Atltico Nacional) will gets you lots of thumbs up in bars. Although I did have some awkward moments in Barra Ejecutiva with some drunk guys asking me who my fav player was. I rolled the dice and said "Juan". LOL.

Anywho I have found the cheapest place to buy them last time I was in town was a street vendor on the corner of Calle 50 and Car 49 (Junin) for 10 k.

I did have more of them but US GF's keep taking them. LOL.

The 2 on the left though I got in Costa Rica, Deportivo Saprissa and LDA (Liga Deportiva Alajuelense). 2 of my favs when I was growing up in CR as a kid.

I bought my pharmacy meds in Poblado and was wondering if the pharmacies overcharge since they know the tourists are abundant in the area. Everything from Ibuprofen to Pepto Bismol was overpriced. I also bought some generic Cialis and some Colombian Modafinil. I can say that the Modafinil was either fake or seriously under dosed because I did not feel a thing from it. I cannot recall the price on them but the name on the box was Vigia 200 MG. I only bought them because when I asked for Adderall they said that in Colombia they don't sell that kind of stuff. The generic Cialis seemed to work. I usually bring along my OTC drugs with me but on this trip I ran out! Where do you seasoned vets buy your meds in Medellin? I usually don't care if prices are a little higher than normal but as an example I was sold 600 MG tabs of Ibuprofen at about 2 k a piece. Outrageous but I was desperate and did not care at the time.

Pharmacy prices vary widely from store to store. The Aleman pharmacies always seemed to be more expensive. Last time I bought ibuprofen I think I paid 8 k for 10,800 MG. 4 packs of 50 MG sildenafil run around 8 k as well.

Get away from Parque Lleras and you should find better prices.
