  • I have personal experience of both cities, but I lived in Montevideo. I think it’s more than a bit unfair to lump Uruguay in with Argentina, when it comes to politics. Of course, it’s far from perfect, but there have been a lot of positive things to come out of Uruguay in semi-recent history. Far, far less so in Argentina.

    To try and put your mind at ease, there are very few places as bad as Texas/Florida (in a political sense) in Montevideo. There’s a couple of barrios that you probably shouldn’t walk alone in, especially at night, but nothing that you probably haven’t already experienced in Puerto Rico.

    There might be some left-wing groups you could reach out to, if you want to hang out with some people, but in terms on neighbourhoods, nothing comes to mind in that sense. I’m out of touch with people there, so I don’t have any personal recommendations.



  • though it also requires greater vigilance regarding app security and the trustworthiness of non-App store sources.

    Does it? Based on what, exactly? This sounds like Apple’s justification of their monopoly, but I don’t see how it connects to any tanglible reality.

    could it become easier to distribute malware? We’ve never had a chance to find out.

    I’d also like to point out that all meta’s apps are freely available and widely promoted on the App Store. So where’s your protection from malware, there?








  • It is actually the natural form of Lysergic acid diethylamide, secreted by the Ant queen. Research suggests that the influence of the substance is what gives the ants the revelation that by collaboration, as opposed to competition, their species can achieve feats far exceeding their individually meager size and strength.

    It is rumoured that the CIA started a campaign to demonize ant acid, and acid in general, as part of a disinformation campaign based on red terror.

    Please not that the ‘over the counter’ solution, sold under this name, is actually for the digestion of burgers. Nothing to do with the original substance whatsoever. This is both an etymological and entomological misnomer.
