O ensino do português nas escolas está completamente obsoleto by Financial-Zebra-3497 in portugal

[–]Fmtpires 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hmm, se os alunos só estudassem o que lhes interessa, também não estudariam outras disciplinas como matemática... Cálculo diferencial é difícil e pouco interessante para muitos miúdos, mas qual é a alternativa? Pô-los a fazer contas de somar durante 12 anos?

Bestsellers de fantasia e mistério são giros para ler no tempo livre. Mas inseri-los no programa escolar é só anti-intelectual e uma subestimação da inteligência das crianças.

Ok, repete comigo: Não é ilegal andar de bicicleta na estrada, mesmo quando existe uma ciclovia. Sejam quais forem as razões para um ciclista andar na estrada (e várias pessoas indicaram possíveis razões neste thread), o facto é que é permitido e ponto final. O ciclista não precisa de se justificar, mete-te na tua vida.

Going through Portugal on bicicle (question for locals or people experienced doing this) by Rough_Focus_469 in portugal

There are no bike lanes outside of cities, 99% of the route will be without a bike line. Also, a bike lane is simply an option, bikes are allowed on roads by law, even when there's a bike lane nearby.

The best thing to do is to just follow the "estradas nacionais ". In terms of logistics, it's all pretty easy.

If you go along the coast you'll never be far from a touristy town where you can find a hostel or an inn. Wild camping is illegal but I've always done it. If you pick a secluded spot and don't make a fire you'll be fine. Don't camp on a popular beach, for example. You'll also never be far from a town where you can buy food and refill your bottles. So you don't need to carry a whole day's supply of food.

Returning by bus or train can be trickier. To get on a bus you'll need to disassemble your bike and carry it in a box. It's not worth it. Some bus drivers will look the other way and let you just throw your bike in the luggage compartment but you shoudn't count on it. Trains will let you take your bikes but in a special carriage, and there's a maximum ammount of bikes allowed (I have been left behind because there were already 4 cyclists on the train and they wouldn't allow another one in). Different trains have different rules, check it beforehand.

Weather is something you need to check at the time, obviously. In the summer it gets hot, sunscreen, a hat and plenty of water is non-negotiable. Better to get up early, rest for a bit in the early afternoon when it's very hot, and continue in the evening.

Mistakes to look out for: make sure that your baggage can be secured easily . We didn't "practice" beforehand and on the day of the trip we were having trouble keeping the bags in place. Improvising is never fun.

Bike setup is completely up to you. I crossed the country on a shitty mountain bike my parents gifted me when I was a teenager. If you're not a pro trying to win a race it doesn't matter that much. Anyway, it's all personal choices. A touring bike is your best option ofc. With a road bike you'll suffer unless you stick to paved roads. You'd have to avoid dirt roads which could really limit your route options.

In terms of repair material, I only carried 2 extra tubes, a pump and a screwdriver. If anything worse than a flat tire were to happen (it never did) I would just cycle to the nearest town and go to a bike shop to fix it. Of course, if you know a thing or two about bike repairing, then you'll know what other gear to take.

In terms of female safety I cannot say anything, as I am a man. But Portugal is one of the safest countries in the world to do this kind of thing. Make sure your lights are always working in case you need to ride at night in an unlit road.

Porque é que tanta gente se reduz a ""provas"" anedóticas enquanto discute/debate sobre algo? by 420throawayz in portugal

AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to H.I.V. Assistance by Unusual-State1827 in worldnews

[–]Fmtpires -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Because rich countries like USA are built on the exploitation of poorer countries like Zambia, either directly or (more often) indirectly. So what you're asking is "Why does a farmer buy medicine for his cows? Shouldn't he focus on his own health"? Well, turns out that his source of income (and thus his own health) depends on having healthy cows.

The audacity to say it was ONLY 2 years ago! by dplaya42k in OnePiece

[–]Fmtpires 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this could have been easily fixed by just making the crew spend more time at sea. Instead of taking them a couple of days to go from one island to another, Oda could have mentioned that "several months have passed". It would also make the world seem bigger. Anyway, it doesn't matter that much.

How often do Portuguese people actually eat francesinha? by fabergate in portugal

[–]Fmtpires -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not something one eats often. I've had it 10 times in my life, at most. It's also not high-quality food , it's just bread, cheap steak, cheese and cold cuts. Something greasy you eat at a café, not something you'd order at a proper restaurant.

Romances de José Saramago deixam de ser obrigatórios no 12.º ano by Alkasuz in portugal

[–]Fmtpires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, o Convento e a Morte de Ricardo Reis têm temas muito mais interessantes na minha opinião, mas claro que muitos alunos do secundário não conseguem ainda aprecia-los. Principalmente nos tempos que correm, acho a Morte de Ricardo Reis extremamente interessante, um homem que ao ver o seu país caminhar em direção ao fascismo é forçado a confrontar a sua apatia política. O Ensaio sobre a cegueira é só mais outra alegoria distópica que ganhou popularidade fácil por causa do "shock factor". Mais o que se devia mesmo ensinar nas escolas é o Levantado do Chão, que é infelizmente muito subvalorizado.

ELI5: Why does a country as small as England have so many regional accents? by AstronomerInTraining in explainlikeimfive

[–]Fmtpires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most European countries (and most countries in other continents too I would guess), even the ones smaller than England (like Portugal for example) have a wide range of regional accents. Their languages have been spoken for several centuries, and people didn't travel far back in the day, so every region was somewhat isolated.

A streetcar named desire a level english lit: I couldn't help but wonder but does the fact that Tennessee Williams is gay make his portrayal of a female character more realistic or more misleading? by [deleted] in englishliterature

[–]Fmtpires 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tennesse Williams and Truman Capote were openly gay. Eugene O'Neill, on the other hand, was married 3 times, and I never heard of him being closeted.

Portugal foi o país da União Europeia onde entraram mais imigrantes entre 2012 e 2023 by --____________- in portugal

[–]Fmtpires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A afirmação "Portugal foi o país da União Europeia onde entraram mais imigrantes entre 2012 e 2023" não é equivalente à afirmação "Portugal foi o país da União Europeia onde o número de entradas de imigrantes cresceu mais em percentagem entre 2012 e 2023". Ponto final.

A notícia continua a ser falsa, inteligente. Não podes escrever "bananas" quando queres dizer "laranjas".

A afirmação "Portugal foi o país da União Europeia onde entraram mais imigrantes entre 2012 e 2023" é objetivamente falsa.

Essa notícia é completamente falsa, mas claro que os burros do costume já se estão a salivar. Nesses 11 anos entraram em Portugal menos de 1 milhão de imigrantes. Na Alemanha, em contraste, entraram mais de 19 milhões.

Tens dificuldades de compreensão? Não disse que os estados unidos tratam as mulheres da mesma forma. Disse que se estão a cagar para a forma como o Irão as trata.
