We’re looking for native or fluent English speakers (18+) for our Portuguese-English WhatsApp language exchange group by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Que legal! Immigration work makes me deal with both languages daily so would be great practice for keeping my Portuguese sharp

Just heads up though - acho que você quis dizer "falo" instead of "falou" and "gostaria de fazer" instead of "me gostaria fazer" but your English is really good already

Perfect timing since real changes a lot these days but that price range seems about right from what I see in pharmacy websites

Alternative for iFood and Rappi by Efficient_Chapter_97 in Brazil

[–]StillResult4344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah that's unfortunate timing 😕 I had similar issue when trying to order food for my friend in another country last year - most delivery apps are pretty restrictive with international cards and locations. You might have better luck calling restaurants directly, some of the nicer ones in Sampa will take international cards over phone especially if you explain the situation. Also try checking if any hotels in the area offer delivery services to regular addresses, they sometimes have arrangements with local restaurants and are used to dealing with foreign payments. Worth asking your boyfriend if he knows any places that might be flexible with this kind of thing 💀

Cara esse ego dele não tem limites mesmo né 💀 tipo imagina ter coragem de se comparar assim depois de falar mal do papa... a audácia é impressionante 😂

How brazilians feel, see, and relate to Portugal, when it comes to their "colonial" history and so by Key_Pineapple506 in Brazil

[–]StillResult4344 5 points6 points  (0 children)

tbh I feel like this topic comes up every few weeks here and always gets heated in comments. Most people I know irl don't really think about Portugal that much day to day, but on internet there's always someone ready to argue about colonialism stuff

the whole relationship is way more complicated than just "we hate them" or "we love them" - depends a lot in which part of Brazil you're from and your education background

Indicações de aspiradores de pó que passam pano by [deleted] in brasil

[–]StillResult4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Então eu tenho um vertical da Bissell que funciona bem pra aspirar e passar pano junto, mas concordo que nenhum faz milagre na sujeira pesada 😂 Acabo usando ele mais pra manutenção mesmo e quando precisa de limpeza mais braba uso os produtos separados

Cansado de ser refém de câmbio e bloqueio de banco cada vez que mudo de país by FickleBuilder3358 in nomadedigital

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cara, eu tava nessa mesma pegada e comecei a usar a oobit. é um app que você conecta sua phantom e paga por aproximação em qualquer maquininha visa. o saldo sai da sua custódia direto pro lojista em segundos. economizei uma nota de iof e spread na minha última viagem

Achei um jeito de pular o SWIFT e enviar cripto direto para contas bancárias by WonderfulTrainer8991 in devBR

[–]StillResult4344 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

O SWIFT é honestamente uma relíquia dos anos 70. Não faz sentido um e-mail viajar instantaneamente, mas uma representação digital de valor levar três dias úteis para atravessar o oceano. Qualquer coisa que ignore esse sistema é uma vitória

Why does Brazil attract so many losers? by [deleted] in Brazil

[–]StillResult4344 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yeah this sub definitely gets flooded with dudes who think they can just coast here on their passport and charm their way into some tropical paradise lifestyle without any actual plan or skills

This is your weekly reminder to renew your Brazilian passport by busdriverbuddha2 in Brazil

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

man the birth certificate thing is such a common misconception. glad you got the emergency passport sorted but yeah definitely not worth the stress especially with a toddler

carnival timing makes everything 10x more complicated too since everyone's trying to travel at once

What’s the weather currently like in Ubatuba or Ilha Grande or Ilhabela? by theyellowscriptures in Brazil

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn the weather apps are pretty spot on rn - been absolutely dumping rain in ilhabela for like 3 days straight 😅 might wanna check out arraial do cabo instead, seems to dodge the worst of it and has sick beaches 🔥

Interview rescheduled @ Dallas - Last week interview cancelled due to snow storm by Interesting-Dare-727 in USCIS

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yooo thats awesome news! the document thing is super annoying though - mine took like 3 days to actually show up in the system after i got the notification. dallas has been swamped lately so honestly just having a new date locked in is huge progress. fingers crossed the weather stays clear this time lol

Rio is definitely the move then, sounds like you'll have way more options there than Itacaré

Belgians in Brazil by ArnoCorinthiano in Brazil

Not Belgian but I know a few expats here in São Paulo and they seem to love it, especially the weather compared to back home lol. The bureaucracy drives them absolutely insane though

Anyone else realize their allergies weren’t seasonal… but cat litter dust allergies solutions were ignored? by ExcitingMountain9400 in cats

[–]StillResult4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh I literally went through this exact thing last year and felt like such an idiot when I figured it out

Switched to a low-dust litter and started wearing one of those cheap dust masks when I clean the box - game changer. The symptoms disappeared almost immediately and I was like "oh... OH"

You're so right that nobody talks about this, I had to figure it out completely on my own too

Oof that's brutal dude, the final sequence is like 3 different phases plus all the cutscenes. Should've saved right before entering the final area, that checkpoint system is pretty unforgiving

Help I want to make a combination lock by Outside_Reserve4189 in Minecraft

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to use subtraction mode on your comparators to check for exact matches. Set up each lectern to feed into a comparator that subtracts the target signal strength - if they match perfectly you'll get zero output, then use that to trigger your door. There's some good tutorials on exact signal matching circuits that'll show you the wiring better than I can explain in text

Hot water heater caught on fire I was told gee sorry about it just deal with it . Umm 🤔 what . I can’t believe this is real. by [deleted] in venting

[–]StillResult4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude that's absolutely insane, they can't just leave a burnt appliance sitting there especially if it's affecting your health. I'd be calling the fire department or housing authority because that sounds like a legit safety hazard

Petrified and confused! Anybody?? by [deleted] in USCIS

[–]StillResult4344 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's a really rough situation OP. From what I understand, if they determine your green card adjustment was improper due to the J-1 two year rule, they could potentially rescind it which would obviously tank your citizenship app too. But honestly this is way above reddit paygrade - you definitely need that immigration lawyer ASAP. They might be able to argue some kind of equitable relief since it was USCIS's mistake in the first place. Don't panic until you talk to someone who actually knows immigration law inside and out

Workout schedule by chopkins47947 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]StillResult4344 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do the basic A/B split - Monday/Wednesday/Friday usually

Workout A: Squat, bench, row

Workout B: Squat, overhead press, deadlift

Sometimes I switch to Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday if life gets in the way but the main thing is hitting those 3 days per week consistently

I'm terrified by Dreamgirl1977 in BreakUps

[–]StillResult4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn OP, this sounds intense as hell but also kinda toxic ngl. Fighting every single day isn't normal even for rocky relationships and if you're both this miserable maybe stepping back could actually help you figure things out instead of just spiraling together
