  • My MIL and FIL were just down there visiting family and told me that they’ve built what are essentially giant walled off communities full of houses and businesses that are essentially their own independent cities where people never need to leave and security doesn’t allow any unauthorized individuals inside.

    I saw similar things when visiting a resort outside of Playa Del Carmen when we’d hired a local cab driver in Playa to take us around for the day and drop us off at the resort. Security checked us all for our passes but chilled out a little once they saw me (a gringo) in the taxi van with everyone else.




  • imo nobody who is struggling to lose weight needs to be told about energy balance.

    I disagree when I’ve heard countless people make up wild reasons why they can’t lose weight and it’s never about eating more calories than they burn. I’m not trying to shame anyone (im overweight myself) but the billion dollar weight loss industry has convinced too many people that it’s some super complex problem that can only be solved with some wacky diet and a monthly fee.
