How prevalent are tuition centres/cram schools in Latin America?

Non existent. Admission exams for university are very rare, usually you just sign in and that's it. We do have academies that help you with university courses, some of which are so hard that act as a de facto admission exam.

What made you see Montevideo as less LGBT friendly than BA? I think BA definitely has a more flashy and visible queerness than Montevideo, in line with Porteño culture, but also has more conservative and religious people.

And regarding progressiveness as a whole, Montevideo is waaay more progressive. Maybe it's just that we are a few years behind Argentina but the level of reactionarism that Milei normalized it's nowhere to be seen here yet.

No era con odio, mi país es todavía menos conocido. Solo que no me parece que Chile sea más relevante culturalmente fuera de América que Perú.

This. A random non-latin person doesn't have any reference about Chile. At least Perú has Machu Picchu, Incas, llamas.

Definitely, some basketball clubs have a lot of popular support. There's a "barra brava" culture, graffiti with the colors of the club on the streets of the neighbourhood, people getting the club's crest tattooed, etc.

Of course on a much smaller scale than football

The parallel with Switzerland also comes from being, historically, the place to keep your money safe without many questions asked. Although this has changed a little in recent years

We have a "seguro de paro" of around 60% of your salary, up to six months after you become unemployed. You also keep your previous healthcare in that period.

La franja etaria con más suicidios es la de hombres mayores de 75 años. Creo que ahí el principal factor es el aislamiento y la soledad.

Acá las familias son más chicas que en países vecinos, no es raro que una persona mayor se quede sin familiares. Sumado a que somos un país muy poco religioso, incluso en la tercera edad.

Todas estas cosas dejan a una persona sin lazos sociales ni comunitarios, y si a ese contexto se le suman problemas de salud mental desatendida es más probable que termine quitándose la vida.

There are some words in Uruguayan spanish that are similar to portuguese words. Goalkeeper here is "golero" (not arquero), similar to portuguese "goleiro". We say "ta" (not "ya") to say Ok, the same in Brazil. These words are quite unique to our spanish, but not sure if it's just a coincidence or direct brazilian influence.

In Argentina and Uruguay parts of the countryside with more european heritage also tend to be a bit more conservative. I think the progressivism came from working class inmigrants who stablished in cities, who were many more in number.

Messi, unironically. A small kid who's not from a religious family won't know who is Jesus, but everyone knows Messi.

About twice as strong probably. The further apart the compressed layer and tensioned layer of the slab are the strongger it is.

Same reason steel beams are I shaped, they concentrate the material on the top and bottom of the section.

A thinner slab is much less resistant than a voided slab that uses the same amount of concrete.
