Sometimes I wish I have never learned this language

That is highly specific

I’ve used Zorin for a time, it is really good

I’m truly grateful that I wasn’t born in an era in which I’d have to wipe my ass with a sponge on a stick

I would not put it like that, I’m not that arrogant. Lemmy is, in its majority, left leaning, so of course people will disagree with me, but that’s not to say “reality doesn’t matter”.

I’m really surprised that my post was not down voted to nothingness

I’ll look into it further tomorrow. If I find out that I’m wrong, I’ll edit my comment saying so.

who effectively want to tear down as much government as possible, […]. It’s the ideology of an extraordinarily unregulated market – a true “free market”

I agree with that.

which is a monopolistic and wildly unethical disaster waiting to happen.

I obviously don’t agree with that. Monopolies depend on the government to exist. I will not elaborate further because I’m not feeling like arguing with strangers on the internet today

who view “your freedom ends at my face” as an insult

I really don’t know what that means

Libertarian is not right-wing (at least as what right-wing and libertarian means here, maybe it is not the same in the US?)

The right is conservative. It is religion based, against the liberation of drugs, usually not concerned with LGBT or women rights. Libertarianism is none of this, since it most concerned with individual freedom

Brazilian here. This a controversial topic, so take what I say as an opinion.

Although Musk is a man child and a scumbag, he is right on this. He is not refusing to comply with local laws, he is refusing to comply with illegal, monocratic decisions from the supreme court.

It is not news that the supreme court had given themselves dictator-like powers. In this case, there is no law that mandates that a social network has to have legal representatives in the country, and there is no law that a social network has to censor specific person, unless they are commiting a crime, which of course require a investigation and the due legal process, all steps that the supreme court had ignored. Moreover, the supreme court is not persecution, so they can’t just make this decision without being summoned.

They’ve been doing that for a while now, in the name of fighting “anti-democratic acts”, which is just a faceless ghost. This is, again, based on no law whatsoever, so the supreme court had taken for themselves persecution and legislative powers, gravely hurting the separation of powers.

Disclaimer: I’m not right leaning, but I’m as libertarian as one can be

Afaik, Quintessence in medieval alchemy was a very pure alcohol (although they believed that by distilling it many times, they were in fact isolating this pure, heavenly element), so not something that can be put in the periodic table.

There are literate coyotes just like you, but they are sadly a minority. Coyote’s education is very overlooked by the government

Wait, I thought I should hate the French

You can’t seriously think summer is in August. Let me break it to you: summer is in January, it is winter now. Know your damned seasons

What is the difference between a road and a street (English is not my first language)?

Oh, that’s not at all what is supposed to look like, guess boost doesn’t have subscript syntax but other clients do

Yeah, I’m aware. Monthly (very basic tho) food is $40~$80 (converting from local currency) per person. Rent is $200~300 for a 2 bedroom basic apartment.

At the same time, “luxury” things are way more expensive here. Smartphones, computers and cars, for instance, are almost 2x the price. Shoes and clothes that are beyond expensive here are normal in the US.

So our cost of living is way cheaper, but our purchase power is lower still. If you can work remotely, you are paid in dollars, and can travel to the US to buy things, you can live a very comfortable life here with an income that you would struggle in there.

PS: I’m using $1 = R$5, which is not true, because our currency is dying. Using more updated prices only make the discrepancy even greater
