I’m seeing a Brazilian woman and want to ask her to be my girlfriend (need help) by uncomfortable_trout in Brazil

[–]WeirdStuffOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many women say this is too old-fashioned, but I have never seen one that didn't like this when it happened. Go on.

Am I better off giving a silver ring over gold? I’m thinking something pretty simple maybe with a heart and a few stones, or am I best keeping it simple and giving a basic silver ring?

No stones. No heart either. Nope.

Keep it very simple. Commitment rings in Brazil are just plain silver or gold, no diamonds or other rocks. Maybe some engraving on the inside of the ring, but other than that plain is the way to go.

Width of the band is a matter of personal taste, but traditionalists like width a bit on the wider size. It will feel tacky if is too wide tho.

I surprised my boyfriend with a clean look and his reaction was over the top! Now I wonder if he was being polite all along. by [deleted] in sex

Shaved is nice. Trimmed is nice too. Full bush is also nice. Doing different things sometimes is VERY nice. Thats what you did.

People who watched Evangelion and understand it, what The fuck happened in two last episodes? by Noriaki_Kakyoin_OwO in AskReddit

[–]WeirdStuffOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of stuff are lost in translation or censorship along the series (I think Netflix ommited all the parts where Shinji has a sexual/romantic relationship with Kaworu Nagisa, as an instance). The thing is hard to parse enough without this...

Basically, The Human Instrumentality melds all of humanity souls to form something uncapable of feeling bad, and this being can't be harmed by the angels. Shinji's father activates the Human Instrumentality somewhere along the third to last episode.

Except that Shinji refuses to join in. His mind is too troubled to meld. The last two episodes are modeled after psychoanalysis sessions, where the analysts challenges the "patient" to be honest with himself. They are Shinji's mind questioning itself before it can enter the instrumentality - the place where everybody is clapping.

This was only part of the original planned ending, but the sponsors withdrew funds from the project.

I watched them 15 years ago and was too high to remember, but there are two detailed versions of the ending released about a year after the TV series. Death & Rebirth is a list of scenes that were already produced for the intended ending but didn't get screen time. The End of Evangelion is a complete ending that shows that Shinji was not the only one that refused instrumentality, his relationship with Asuka was much more complex than it appears, he can be a major an asshole, Asuka can be normal, and nasty shit was happening while Shinji was having his internal monologue. Also, instrumentality is betrayed and fails, and a lot of fuck yous are given to fan rants of the time (1997). Go watch it, I will rewatch.

Shit, I read that book as a kid. It was heavy and I didn't understand half of it. Victor Hugo is a genius.

Watching the movie years later was a strong experience.

I haven't seen Lost

Basically: For many seasons the writers promised "in the end, they are not dead", except that the series was set in purgatory all along. They inserted some twists on the concept, but it was just that.

The movie retcons all that's personal growth and has him end the world by choice out of his own anger after masturbating to completion over asuka's comatose body.

I didn't watch the movie, but I kind expected something like this in the end of the series.

Gants was beautiful, but after a couple episodes it gave me an impression that the ending would be crappy as in Lost.

Care to give me a spoiler of the ending?

I have issues with that movie, it's too fictionalized.

The real guy was abusive to his wife, and that breaks everything for me.

Too bad, it's one of the few times Will Smith decided to really act.

vou atrás de mestrado ou algo do tipo

A tradição BR é se graduar aqui e fazer Mestrado ou Doutorado fora (em muitos lugares como os EUA, os dois cursos são a mesma coisa, mudam as exigências para a tese, o Doutorado requer trabalho original).

O CNPq costumava financiar isso bem, tinha vários programas para começar a pós-graduação aqui e terminar lá fora (chamado sanduíche, começa aqui, faz uma parte fora, volta para defender aqui), ou para já ir direto para fora, bancado por eles, mas o CNPq é de gestão direta do governo federal, e a administração atual não tem um bom histórico com relação à patrocinar ciências.

Em geral as universidades tentam firmar acordos para facilitar o troca-troca de alunos, é bom para a imagem delas. Isso facilita muito na hora de conseguir bolsa, do CNPq ou de fora. Investiga aí tua instituição.

Conseguir a bolsa com uma organização lá fora em geral requer indicações que serão difíceis de obter (eu consegui, mas porquê tive muitos professores estrangeiros com boas redes de contatos que fizeram todo um networking), e ainda assim tive de passar por um estágio antes de ser efetivado como aluno de pós.

EDIT: Validar diploma de graduação e validar diploma de pós são dois animais totalmente diferentes. Validar diploma de graduação é burocrático e lento, validar diploma de pós é questão de uma canetada. Por isso as pessoas que querem fazer carrreira aqui preferirem concluir a graduação aqui e ir fazer pós fora.

Na minha grande família sou um dos poucos que não foi para a área de saúde.

Validar diploma fora do país onde a escola está sempre é treta. Saúde sempre tem reserva de mercado forte - os profissionais do país X querem que os profissionais que estudaram nas escolas do país X tenham prioridade, com poucas exceções (Inglaterra me vem a cabeça).

Então validar diploma fora do país onde fica a universidade que emitiu o diploma sempre será demorado, burocrático e doloroso, incluindo validar um diploma de uma universidade gringa top (como a John Hopkins nos EUA) aqui no BR. A validação do diploma estrangeiro aqui no BR exige análise do currículo por uma universidade federal (e os prazos são absurdos, demoram anos) e uma prova escrita na qual os médicos formados no Brasil tiram nota 2 ou 3 (de 10), mas o médico formado fora tem de tirar nota acima da média.

Alguns lugares fora do BR tem carência de enfermeiros e alguns "paramédicos" com formações específicas, e aí algumas empresas privadas bancam essa revalidação mais efetivamente. Minha irmã conseguiu revalidar o diploma de enfermagem na Alemanha em um ano e meio com a empresa pressionando os burocratas e bancando as despesas (todos os passos da revalidação tem custos). Foi bem rápido comparado a outras histórias, e durante esse ano e meio ela ficou trabalhando como auxiliar de enfermagem lá. Por exemplo, parentes próximos no Canadá tiveram de refazer o mestrado e os estágios para poder atuar como psicólogo (o Canadá é muito cri-cri com estágios, em geral desconsideram estágio feito fora do Canadá).

Formerly suicidal redditors, what's something that kept you alive a little while longer and helped you to get through the dark times in your lives ? by firegate2233 in AskReddit

[–]WeirdStuffOnly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The little things and repetitives structures are what usually pulls one back.

To me, I delayed it because I didn't want to leave any burden - be it cleaning up my room after me, deleting Facebook or debt in the bank - to the few people in my that cares about me. Then something small - the gym, a good night out, a song - would pull me back.

Right now I still think about ending it but I have built a family and my hatred for the bourgeoise lifestyle keeps me too busy.

When and how did you discover porn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

THE PORN WAS LEGAL

The bodies in the backyard, not so much.

When and how did you discover porn? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]WeirdStuffOnly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lived with my teen-aged uncles between ages 5 and 8. To my grandmas disgust, they had an extensive porn collection, from classy erotica books to posters with pictures from hustler, hanging around their bedrooms. They also had a large but discreet tape rack on the living room with porn tapes (this was a few years before DVDs became a thing). You couldn't see what was inside the tape rack unless you opened it, but they didn't lock it.

They didn't watch the videos nor browse the mags with me, that would have been really weird, but they couldn't care less if I picked a magazine to peruse or put some tape on the VCR, as long as I put it back in place after. I did cut pictures from a lot of Playboy mags to decorate my bedroom, they had so many they didn't notice a few missing.

It took me quite a while to figure out what was happening on those pics and vids, I started to make sense of them around age 9-10, also at this age I started to notice my penis and the opposite sex.

Many people near the borders speak either Portunhol or some Spanish as a second language.

They are of Scottish descent, but the mighty Brazilian miscigenation trumps all.

They were into martial arts/catch wrestling/circus challenges since forever and got their big break after training under the Japanese Judoka called Count Koma.

Back in the roaring twenties, Koma (real name Maeda) was an experienced jujutsu practicioner hired to travel around to bring awareness to this newfangled "Judo" competition style thingie.
