Reply to comment by rustyfinch in Moments before Argentina's World Cup winning penalty in the streets of Buenos Aires by 1Leep

Naw man I lived in Buenos Aires for a bit. The beef football and insane inflation isn’t far off.

Beef: I could go to a 5 star restaurant in the middle of Palermo and get an 8oz filet mignon cut for about $14 USD.

I was there in 2014 and the city legit shuts down for football. I went to a BOCA juniors match and had a blast, and went to a WC warmup of Argentina v Trinidad y Tabago. So much fun.

And the inflation is insane. Exchange rates are set by the gov rather than the market, and we would exchange dollars with sketchy street vendors rather than official avenues because they were offering $15/$1 rather than the official rate of $12/$1

There’s literally nothing wrong with triamcinolone. So funny how people with zero medical knowledge think “steroid” = superhuman. We use triamcinolone paste for shit like canker sores. And this specific type mentioned in the article is used for shit like eczema. Why the fuck is this even a big deal???

I played competitively until college. I fucked up my back and right knee - I used to be a killer with a passing forehand ending with a slide on my right leg (on hard court). It just really messed up my knee and now I can't run like that more than once or twice in a match despite better overall fitness. I definitely can't do weekly matches either
