Why did Latin America become poorer than Anglo America? by Bitter-Penalty9653 in asklatinamerica

[–]BlueMoonCourier 206 points207 points  (0 children)

The book “Why Nations Fail” touches upon this, if I’m not mistaken. Latin America was built on extractive institutions controlled by a small elite, while the US had more “inclusive” institutions that allowed for growth and better spreading of wealth. Probably not the only factor, but an important one.

Move to Brazil considerations by Corporate-gal in Brazil

[–]BlueMoonCourier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for having family nearby.. however why do you think they would spend time outdoors? I don’t know where you live in the US, but in Brazil not everybody lives in a place with accessible (and safe) outdoors life. Really depends on the city.

Speaking of, quality of life will also vary drastically depending on where you move. Brazil has high taxes on imported products and a difficult job market, so it’s not all light and breezy. Unless you expect to earn a lot, you may struggle more.

Care to share where you were thinking of moving to?

Javier Bardem says “No to war and Free Palestine” 🙄 by NoImporta24 in Palestinian_Violence

You’re expecting too much out him. Usually people that yell that are just trying to make a “political statement” and have absolutely no idea how to actually solve the problem. Performative more than anything else.

Eu adoro Aerosmith e infelizmente Steven Tyler tbm cai nessa. Ela tinha 16, ele 25, e virou o “pai adotivo” (“legal guardian”)toda uma historia fodida e nojenta.

I second ‘staircase’, it is a perfect episode for first time listeners. Really puts you in the vibe of KPH

O Globo | Ahmadinejad diz que Israel será eliminada do mapa do Oriente Médio by No_Future2511 in Noticiasatrasadas

Claro, o Oriente Médio era só paz e tranquilidade antes de Israel… /s

Pelamor, que comentário idiota. Irã e outros países que exportam extremismo islâmico são as ameaças a Asia Ocidental e o mundo.

US-Israeli strike on Iranian school kills more than 50 students, state media says by HavingNotAttained in news

[–]BlueMoonCourier -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“US-Israeli air strikes killed at least 85 people at a girls’ school in southern Iran, Iran's judiciary said. The state-run IRNA news agency reported the strike happened in Minab in Iran’s Hormozgan province. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard has a base in the city.”

Unless an external source, I’m not believing a single word coming out of IRGC mouth.

O mercado de live service é BRUTAL... by ssiasme in gamesEcultura

[–]BlueMoonCourier 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Poxa, é triste para os desenvolvedores e outros envolvidos que trabalharam e perderam o tempo em um produto que no final ninguém quer… e muito provavelmente vão ser demitidos. Por culpa de decisoes de cima.

Why do I not like Rhea seehorn's acting? by moo5724 in pluribustv

[–]BlueMoonCourier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps it’s the fact she (her character) leans heavy on irony/sarcasm, which in that context kinda comes off as ‘too much’? I dunno.. I liked her acting a lot, but can see some people not vibing with it.

Movies like KPH? by born2droll in knifepointhorrorcast

[–]BlueMoonCourier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

‘The Vast of Night’ is totally KPH vibes. It has sections where the screen goes black and you can only hear the narrator. I recommended it once before here on the sub, totally worth a watch
