    Subscribers on OnlyFans often seek real-time interaction or to fulfill fantasies, and these aren't always related to sex. Originally, the site was just a social network to meet people, but it has evolved over time. Sometimes, fantasies aren’t sexual. For example, a friend of mine who has a...

    Milei wants the retirement age of Argentines to be raised

    The age proposal also seems crazy to me. Regarding the possibility of opting for a private retirement system, like the former Administradoras de Fondos de Jubilaciones y Pensiones (AFJP), which the government wants to implement, I'm concerned that we haven't learned from past experiences. The...

    Oh, I didn't realize that some of the processes have changed so much! It's been a while since I went through it, and it didn’t seem that complicated back then. Now I understand a bit more about this guy's frustration. It sounds like things can be pretty tough for newcomers these days! 😕

    Politics Milei Strongly Supports Sports Corporations (SAD): "No More Impoverishing Socialism in Football"

    I totally agree with Milei's point. It's pretty hypocritical for the AFA to reject Sports Corporations (SADs) but still rely on players from those same corporations for the national team. Clearly, the results matter, and SADs are producing the best talent. The AFA's stance seems more ideological...
