There used to be a lot of Venezuelan O&G baws in Lafayette but they've all retired or moved to Houston since.

It was shite back in the 90's, can't imagine how bad it is now after 30 years of being run by illiterate Chavistas.

If you're in New Orleans, Hondurans have been here since the 60's.

There was a thread a while back right after the attacks on the drug boats started where I said there was absolutely no chance the US is invading Venezuela. That this was all just saber rattling.


To be fair, it is isnt exactly an invasion. We just went in to take him out (he was probably given up by his peers). There's an opposition party that's pro US that's arguably won the last 3 presidential elections waiting to take power.

Something else happened in 1492 that lead to Spain's Golden Age and Im not talking about Columbus either.

. I would have to disagree with you disagreeing.

I used to go there frequently when I lived in Louisiana. Since the 2000's, there's definitely a lot less commercial activity than there used to be. There's also a verifiable population and economic decline if you want to look it up.

Im sure that's true but let's not sugarcoat it, Alexandria and CENLA in general is in serious decline. Coping isn't going to help improve things.

With social media being the town square now, more and more kids in each succeeding generation are being raised on Instagram and TikTok and have no idea of what it’s like to actually live without social media. It’s just a giant cluster frick of problems that only gets worse with each following generation. With each subsequent generation, the narcissism and immaturity skyrockets while IQ plummets.


You should definitely complain about it on a message board and Facebook instead of unplugging yourself and your family.

re: How easy is it to find attractive women on Tinder?

Posted by Defenseiskey on 12/30/25 at 7:42 am to Shamoan
Haven't used it since 2017 but it was starting to suck really back then too.

Was still awesome if you lived in a major metropolitan area although Im hearing that it's now lost it touch.

If you live in an area in the south with less than 200k people, your choices will strictly be fat chicks and single moms.

My cousin got Tinder premium and used the "passport" feature to meet his current fiance. He met a smokin hot mulatto chick from a Carribean country who's a doctor, is fit, and doesn't have any kids.

She was definitely "cute for a politico."

I always thought she was an imbecile and I'm a Republican. It makes us look bad when we put dumb people like her on a pedestal because she isn't bad looking.

She probably works in healthcare too, which is frightening.

I now see why so many white American dudes go to Latin American and Asian countries to find wives.

I regret not moving to NYC and going the finance route. I graduated in 2012 so it was slim pickings for finance jobs.

Good to hear, they seemed like nice people. That area was a cheap college kid neighborhood back in the day (late 2000's) has completely been redeveloped last time I was there, good to hear some things are consistent.

Back in the late 2000's/early 2010's, there was a Chinese place off of Burbank in the same shopping center as Mellow Mushroom.

Their $5 lunches kept me fed my last couple of years in school.

This is Louisiana across the board, not just in operator jobs. It's why so many bright people leave. Not because they don't want to stay, but because their careers probably won't go anywhere no matter how smart they are or how hard they work.

If you want a career in process technology and you don't have connects, your best bet is to go to San Jacinto, Lone Star, HCC, or one of the private trade schools and look for jobs near Houston.
