**[Don't forget to join our community whatsapp group for latest updates!](https://LinkShield.co/214)** Battle bureaucracy with comedy! Improv, stand up, and more! 🚨 BARCELONA FRIENDS 🚨 Next Friday I’m hosting a comedy fundraiser show because apparently my life has become an administrative Kafka novel. Over the past months I’ve been dealing with: ✔ Spanish immigration bureaucracy ✔ housing/legal chaos ✔ enough paperwork to kill a medieval peasant ✔ and trying to stay sober through all of it So naturally… the solution is comedy. I’m raising money for legal and housing costs while I continue the arraigo process and try to remain a functional human being in Barcelona. There will be stand-up, improv, community, and probably at least one joke about the FBI background check process. If you’ve ever enjoyed my comedy, science content, weird internet presence, or just want to support an immigrant trying not to get spiritually defeated by Spanish bureaucracy — come out ❤️ 🎟 Free or donate below!

Tal vez no es falta de amor… sino falta de orden. Porque el amor, por sí solo, no siempre basta. El amor también necesita estructura, límites y equilibrio para crecer, sanar y permanecer. A veces, por querer ayudar demasiado, terminamos olvidándonos de nosotros mismos. O incluso, sin darnos cuenta, acabamos dañando al otro desde el desorden emocional. En esta conferencia descubrirás cómo el orden puede transformar tus vínculos, aportar claridad a tus relaciones y traer paz donde antes había confusión. 🧘❤️✨ Las webs de Marichu Rios son: www.salmaiasalud.es y www.marichurios.es Marichu Rios acompaña a personas que desean implicarse de forma real en su proceso de Salud, desde una mirada integral y respetuosa con la biología humana.

**¿Tu autoestima ya no es la misma que era antes?** Lo que vas viviendo en la vida te va marcando. Muchos momentos en tu vida han sido buenos, pero los malos momentos parece ser que son los que perduran y muchas veces van minando poco a poco tu autoestima hasta el punto en que te menosprecias y te sientes menos que los demás cuando no es así­. Procrastinas y dejas cosas que tienes que hacer porque no te sientes capaz o no tienes ganas. El problema es que el tiempo sigue pasando. Puede que tu vida no haya sido demasiado traumática, pero aun así­ sienes que has ido perdiendo tu autoestima con el paso de los años. ¿Cómo la puedes recuperar? En esta conferencia gratuita vas a ver de donde viene esa falta de autoestima y aprenderás cómo puedes recuperarla y poder sentirte mejor contigo mismo/a.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor. BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!” SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8!
