Interesting. I looked around what Lula has said and found that, in 2023, he did suggest Ukraine to “cede Crimea in order to stop the war”

In 2025, during a press conference where someone asked him about the Russo-Ukrainian war, after making the case for a ceasefire and negotiating peace, he asked back: “Do you think Putin will leave Crimea?” - although he never supported Russia’s claims for other territories, stating “you don’t always get what you want”.

I can see how that can be taken as support for the aggressor.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that the stock market serves a real economic purpose that isn’t just “cryptocoin bullshit, but before they were invented”

The purpose is to create a space for nations to talk to each other, and to organize collective action on issues that the majority of members agree on.

Save for anything the USA says “nope”, like actual action against climate change, putting an end to the trade blockade against Cuba, etc - then the majority can go fuck itself

Not really supporting, but mostly turning a blind eye because Russia is a significant ally and the main source of refined diesel fuel.

What about going an extra step into Elixir?

Thankfully, my family understands that stuff on the internet is “someone else’s computer”, so it’s easy to explain why something is down - “It’s their fault”

Procrastinating Egg Sandwich

I suspect they might get proud of that, “we made english american!”

I know, no wonder the perception that 'muricans don’t know geography is just as old

“But we have our load balacing with 3 different AWS buckets!!!”

'murica did send a president who made a toast to “the people of Bolivia”. During a dinner with the Brazilian president. In Brasilia. So, yeah, there’s precedent for their ignorance.

Nim. Python-esque way to write, C speed

Brazil did NOT make a programming language entirely in Spanish

Because we speak fucking portuguese

Technically true, but as many students find out, having classes’ times all over the place each semester means you’ll have a hard time finding any jobs in the meantime, which will more or less force them to live off savings or family help, especially if the course has mandatory books that you cannot find a pirate copy somewhere. Also, the student residences get full super quick. Not to mention that every public medicine course in the public unis only has like 2-3 students that actually came from the lower classes.

formal education feels like it was fully co-opted by “the market”

If you want to join “the market” (have a job and get paid for it), you need formal education
To get formal education, you need money
To get money, you need to join “the market” or have someone who’s “in” to pay for you

As for “getting smarter”, that’s different from formal education

I once had a hand that was 5 E’s and 2 H’s. On the second round. Not fun

How long does that last?

Well, Venezuela has fuckloads of oil that isn’t going to the USA, so…

I think sewing machines would count? They certainly got a hell lot more “portable”, but the basic design hasn’t changed much since the 1880s. Those things are little mechanical marvels

It was patented? Fucking hell, today I learned
