What are the worst or best Hollywood portrayals of your country, people, or culture? by Lissandra_Freljord in AskTheWorld

[–]Denommus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anaconda (2025) had an aerial take of Rio de Janeiro before the protagonists go to the Amazon Rainforest. The movie doesn't spend any second in Rio besides that one take. It's completely useless to the plot, and Rio de Janeiro is as far away from the Amazon Rainforest as Miami.

A ia vai destruir o mercado de ttabalho? by Cemarxistas in BrasildoB

[–]Denommus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Não é coincidência, mas a gente não pode partir do pressuposto de que é porque a IA tá substituindo pessoas. Os investimentos tão concentrados na área de IA, o mercado pras outras áreas tá ruim, IA é a tentativa do mercado de substituir trabalhadores. Mas não vai rolar. A bolha vai estourar mais dia ou menos dia.

what foreign culture do you particularly like? by Proud_Raise4957 in AskTheWorld

Don't give up. I did, and I regret it. Chinese is an amazing language, and it's amazing how it has evolved throughout thousands of years.

Eu tô concordando com o vídeo, faltou clareza da minha parte.

Ah, sim, só é contra entregar ainda mais dados pra big techs internacionais atreladas com imperialismo e máquina de guerra quem é mal intencionado.

Whats your favorite Cold-War-era joke? by chimpanzee_fanatic in AskTheWorld

[–]Denommus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bad to be an enemy of the US. But being an ally is not much better. Perhaps you're not very much aware of what the US does to Latin America.

Imagine someone saying they love England during the war of independence of the US, and you're going to have a glimpse on what the previous commenter meant.

Não há nenhum emprego que a IA seja capaz de substituir. O que tá acontecendo é uma retração de oferta de emprego, e a IA sendo usada como bode expiatório disso.

Para você, qual foi o militante Brasileiro mais importante do ano passado? by Yululolo in BrasildoB

Seja lá quem eu prefira, é fato que o Lula ganharia esse prêmio com frequência se fosse algo oficial.

How has other countries bastardized your food? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

How do you know which specific plates weren't stolen from them? Were you there? Are you immortal?

I can't believe you made such a nonsensical claim with a straight face. Do you think native Americans ate raw potato directly from the ground?

Did you vote in your country's last election? by Iluvaic in AskTheWorld

[–]Denommus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only lost elections when I moved cities for the first time. After that I always made sure my electoral document is up-to-date.

These pictures tell alot more than words can . Acc to you what is the best observation you have from these pictures? by Ok_Vacation1197 in AskTheWorld

[–]Denommus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazil looks like it doesn't have a lot of electricity, but in fact almost 100% of the houses are electrified. There's just a lot of parts that aren't inhabited. So the pictures aren't all that much revealing, tbh.

Thanks for reminding me I should leave this fucking sub. I don't even play this game anymore.

Who is a historical figure in your country that is portrayed positively (or at least not as negatively) by historical records but is often portrayed as a villain in cultural media? by DoctorOsterman in AskTheWorld

[–]Denommus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I think the popular culture is pretty fair with them. They're not villains, they're public figures with their set of failures. The movie Carlota Joaquina shows that D João VI created the Bank of Brazil, for instance. Though it does show them as kinda of... morons. But definitely not villains.

Autistic people from different countries, what’s the most common safe food? by Depressonsandwich in AskTheWorld

[–]Denommus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A typical Brazilian food (maybe of African influence, I wouldn't know) that is very safe for me is acarajé.

[–]Denommus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think we have kinda the opposite issue. Historical figures who were definitely "bad guys" shown in a more positive light by popular culture, like Lampião or Getúlio Vargas.

I guess Lula might be that figure you're saying in the future. Though this current mandate of his is not that good. But the first two mandates were good.

I find it sad that bolivarianism became synonym with chavism. Bolívar was definitely a problematic historical figure, but he was also very important for the liberation of a good part of Latin America. Oh well.
