  • I'm not USian, but I've seen online Democrats complaining about Biden as often, if not more, than Republicans.

  • Will it stop people from claiming it was a single judge being political and arbitrary? Certainly not.

  • It seems that the strongest justification is that they closed their local branch, and have no legal representation here in Brazil, which is required by law for them to be able to operate.

  • Not removing misinformation posts, a large amount of unpaid fines, refusal to appoint a legal representative, threatening the judge.

  • Moraes has done some very good stuff and probably saved Brazilian democracy from Bolsonaro, but recently has been caught in some corruption scandal as well.
    At least I hope he still has enough political pull to smack Musk a bit.

  • Turn it into a story about the time you got the opportunity to flip a trolley track switch.

  • Inconsolata and Cascadia are the best.

  • Not to defend these things, I also don't think they work, but the simplest argument is that they work on a metaphysical frequency/energy/whatever, so a physical instrument wouldn't be able to detect it.

    But "Political Spectrum" is bullshit anyway, most of today's issues don't fit a one-dimensional left-vs-right line.

  • Indirectly, yes, but not far. The instability created by people fighting over the scraps of his conquests allowed the rise of the Roman empire, and people fighting over their scraps throughout the Middle Ages led to the creation of the modern empires.

  • Calling the current Brazilian government leftist nowadays is a bit of a stretch.

  • I posted this question on Mastodon some time ago:

    Is there any modern geopolitical issue that can't be blamed on Alexander "the great"?

  • More like open source engine for Minecraft-like games and more.

  • Depends on the type of tiredness.
    Physical? Yes.
    Mental? The reason will also probably keep me awake.
    Sickness? I'm tired of staying in bed.

  • Português brasileiro fluente/nativo.

    Read/Write fluent English, a bit broken speech.

    Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch lesen/verstehen. Es war meine erste Sprache, aber ich habe das meiste davon vergessen, als ich Portugiesisch lernte.

  • Until very recently the relationships between men and women were not based on liking each other, but on social function.

    Culture changed VERY fast in the west in the last 4-5 generations, but not at the same rate everywhere, this is sort of a culture clash.
