Temer became president after the soft coup that removed president Dilma, as he was her vice.

He was almost impeached as well, but managed to buy Congress with a couple billion reais meant for education.

IIRC he is the most hated president in Brazilian history, even more than Bolsonaro.

I think I only heard/read it once or twice, but yes, I think most shorten it to just cavalos

In Portuguese it’s called steam-horse (cavalo-vapor)

The greatest argument against “solving” old-age: if 80 years old Conservatives controlling the world is bad, imagine 800 years old Conservatives controlling the world.

Knowing Portuguese and going by its being descended from Latin, the scientific name for the tree is “stinky manure”?

Nile Tilapia.

Also a type of duck we in my region of Brazil call “marreco”, the name in English seems to be Teal or Garganey.

A Tilley hat.

Iguaçu Falls, on the border between Brazil and Argentina. Nearby you could also visit Itaipu Dam, formerly largest in the world.
Going a bit into the same Brazilian state of Paraná, there’s also the amazing Vila Velha park, with incredible sandstone formations.

Abortion is sometimes the less monstrous alternative in a horrible situation, and it should never be seen as less than that.
Women should have enough social safety nets that abortion would never even cross their minds.
It is mostly Capitalism with its focus on productivity and selling youth and beauty that pressures women into it, women are “freeing” themselves into Capitalistic slavery.

Personally I prefer it starting on Sunday, but also here with Portuguese being the main language it only makes sense to start on Sunday, Monday to Friday are called second-fair, third-fair, fourth-fair, fifth-fair, and sixth-fair. Fair as in either market or festival.

Good it turned around, reminded me of that “if the brain was simple enough to understand, we would be too simple to understand it”.

In the neighboring State from where I live in Brazil, a lot of gas stations have publicly accessible hot water taps. Even some parks and plazas have them. It’s for the Mate drinkers to refill their Thermos.

Amazing. The one problem is that when the Bible explicitly uses “Antichrist” it is plural.

He’s for certain an Antichrist.

It’s absurd that USians allow themselves to not vote, in a democracy voting is a duty, not just a right.

Both, but the second always gets stuck before the end.

Dipyrone. It’s OTC here in Brazil, but it seems to be restricted in other places.

Depends on the species, but in general the honeys have variation in the nutrients, some considered even more medicinal than that of European Honey Bees.
They usually also have more water content, so unlike “regular” honey, they can more easily spoil.

Here in Brazil we have Meliponiculture, farming honey from native stingless bees.
