I DON'T WANT TO LIVE ON THIS PLANET ANYMORE
 
A girl invited me to come over and watch Netflix. Did the whole netfix and chill thing reach Chile or does she really want to watch pelculas and eat junk food? 👀

I was already with my wife when Netflix started so I dunno

But I think is pretty much an american thing IMO, try this: Eat something and then clap, if she claps too go for it.

And clap afterwards too
 
Soah Bashelé, haga algo por dioh!


The guys that priced that Centella are out of their mind. Though the price of that thing is like $200 now anyway
 
Hey all, I was lucky enough to visit your country last year. Spent a few days in the Torres del Paine national park and all I can say is wow. You inhabit a truly special and beautiful place. Hope I can make it back there for a longer stay sometime. Maybe do the full circuit hike.

Congratulations man, I wanna go there too but I have small kids, still have to wait at least 5 years or so.

Nice, I want to go there too. So far... I'm a slave of my job, but soon I'll be able to go.

If you come back, travel to the North too, there are several kickass landscapes like Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley).

Chinchorro's culture has the most ancient mummies in the world (yes, way older than the ones from Egypt)

Haha cochayuyo. Please explain the clapping thing.

I turned her down. She wanted me to sleep over but I was so tired after a long bus ride. Mans gotta sleep. 👀

You must have been really tired, man.



So, what do you guys think of today's match? Chile is getting a hard time finding themselves, but when they do, they do great things.

Pizzi just began to train the guys, so I'll reserve my final opinion cause he needs more time to work with them.

But... it's pretty clear Chile really needs the missing ones, like Aránguiz, Díaz, Valdivia, Mati. Without them we suffer to much. It will be critical against teams like Argentina, Uruguay, Brasil, Colombia & Ecuador.

Pretty much. We just beat the worst team in the whole fixture. A team that has no wins and only 1 point, yet we feel like world champs.

I think Pinilla is terrible. He can only score against really weak defenses. He was completely alone a couple of times and missed completely. Particularly one that was later called off-side where he was completely alone like 1 mt in front of the goal and managed to miss. Granted it was because the field was in terrible state and the ball did a weird bounce, but still a striker should be able to push that ball in anyway.

Also his technique is pretty weak. He tried to stop a ball overhead and it traveled like 4 extra meters. Vidal did the same a little later in the game and the ball stayed right by his feet. Of course Vidal is world class, but still, Pinilla is IMO a pretty poor player, though I don't know if we have anything better in his position.

I feel ignorant for saying this but how much was it before?
Me falta street

When I was a kid
el mordida de
Centella was $100, just like Trululú, now it must be $200. I mostly buy "agua doble" Fruna 'cause I'm frugal.

Some of you might already know that our fellow GAFfer Machado is trying to bail out of his country Venezuela given that through the sponsorship of the doubtfully sane Maduro and the Bolivarian Revolution™ his country is now a big clusterfuck.

One of his options is to migrate here

So if he actually makes it let's try to help him in any way we can.
 
Just posted there.

After all the stuff our honorable people in the congress promoted, like Ley mordaza and stuff like detención por sospecha, and so on, I cant recommend him coming here.

Chile is beautiful, but keeps sucking harder because politician and companies do whatever they want and no one cares.

I was one of the ones to suggest Chile. We have corresponded by email a number of times and I tried to give him as much details as possible on the immigration process. But one of you native Chileans can probably help him even more just giving him some info that maybe I couldn't help him with.

Really hope he gets out of there.

Chile is 3rd in the global FIFA ranking....after losing to Argentina and barely beating Venezuela, aka one of the weakest teams in the continent.

What in the actual fuck.

What's is happening in the rest of the countries? Do they just walk out after the first half of the match? Is the rest of the world filled with blind players?

I find hard to believe they are doing _worse_. Do their teams just like....die in the middle of the match?

I assume that every other squad is going through stuff like

(but in soccer)

Awesome but FIFA rankings are a joke. They always have been. So I don't think many people put much stock into the rankings.

What rain?

We don't have water supply at the moment, fuck this "rain".

(I know it rained hard in the Andean foothills
(yeah i googled that, didn't know how to say precordillera in english)
)

Santiago master race dude, a nuke could blow outside of it (And Valpo/viña/conce) and no one would give any major shit about it, for example, the current sanitary crisis of the Queule river already has less screen time than this "rain" and its consequences.

I will never understand why "It's raining in Santiago" is newsworthy. Rain isn't weird in Santiago.

Santiago is terribly prepared for rain. Even one day of rain can fuck up a lot of our infraestructure.

Either we get water supply problems, or power supply problems, or just plain old our streets turn into rivers. So a good part of the inhabitants, mostly the poor, but sometimes across classes, get p damaged by rain.

Because Santiago is Chile, and the rest is puros giles.


Nah, the media is to blame for that. Santiago holds around 42% of total population of the country, so is good for the ratings and stuff.


Anyway, Santiago was really fucked with this rain. Half the city is without water thanks to Alto Maipo, and Providencia is flooded thanks to the Costanera buildings. And the UDI says "don't blame the private companies" LOL
 
This is a clear example that shows that despite the fact we are progressed a lot in the last 30 - 40 years, there is still so many things that need to be improved to even begin to think to call ourselves a developed country.

It's truly embarrassing what is happening. So much incompetence at so many levels.

Fuck this shit :/
 
To be honest though that amount of rain would cause flooding and issues in most major cities around the world. (I saw it in spring time in Toronto every year) But yeah in terms of cleanup and overall preparedness Chile is still behind most developed countries when it comes to stuff like this.

I agree with you to a certain point; cause it's true that when mother nature wants to fuck us, there is nothing you can do about it.

But the thing is almost year after year we see something similar and the feeling I have is nothing or very little is done to help to mitigate a new occurrence.

Yeah, year after year the rain causes struggles yet nothing is ever fixed. There are places that get consistently flooded since the 80's.
 
So no rain, huh?

Also it was alto maipo? or we're getting tinfoil hat-y (as usual)?

People were trying to explain it via "Isoterma 0". I'm no meteorologist but it made sense.

Alto Maipo is a huge part of the water shortage. There have been reports of it contaminating the waters since months ago, and now Aguas Andinas have to stop the water flow because of "the rain contaminating the water", when we had a normal rain. Only last night the rain turned into a problem, but water supply was already cut.

But it's an Luksic company, so why would anyone do something about it.
