It boggles my mind that dudes won't spend 100 bucks to get tested for HIV, get pep/prep, but spend every dollar they have on bar girls and getting high.

Bellissimo post di un italiano emigrato a Parigi. Per scelta, e la scelta era giusta, e lo rimane. Ma qualcosa manca, inutile negarlo.
La mia esperienza a Bruxelles è simile. Io forse ci metto un po' di risentimento in più per un'Italia che, con la sua decisione di gestire il declino invece di darsi un futuro e la sua discriminazione nei confronti di mia moglie (svedese di origine africana) mi ha messo in condizioni di partire.

Do people not know that constant sun exposure causes skin cancer and ages you like shit?
Old English and Aussie expats don't seem to know that.
I don't need to see your crispy chicken skin on full display when I'm out doing pull ups from a tree.

Russia strips the rights of citizens abroad in a sweeping new ‘traitor’ law.
The Duma approved measures that freeze accounts, seize property and block consular services including passport renewal for Russians abroad who are evading charges at home.
Lawyers said the law meant “de facto loss of citizenship,” with political activists and journalists among those most at risk.

Una cosita sobre la #Gentrificación, los #Expats #NómadasDigitales y los Cafés a 5 euros y las #AvocadoToast.
ESTÁIS SEÑALANDO A QUIEN NO TOCA. La culpa no es del que se va a vivir a España con un sueldo alto.
La culpa es de quienes suben los precios mientras haya alguien dispuesto a pagar. La culpa es del que maximiza el beneficio a costa de convertir las ciudades en desiertos culturales y sin alma. La culpa es del que deja de alquilar a una familia para alquilar por semanas a gente que viene de turismo.
Como siempre, tenemos que acostumbrarnos a mirar más a quién controla los recursos: los locales, los pisos, los precios y no a quien simplemente participa del consumo en una sociedad donde todo te lleva a consumir. Y a dejar de pensar que las cosas deben valer lo que alguien pague por ello.
