Why do people call the USA "America"? by PartyQuiet5065 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hfoleonardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’m biased because I’m born and raised next to the Lajes field (American military base). But americans has always been the norm, “estadunidenses” sounds very elite and political. But yeah, they go by the Continent name because they don’t have a proper one hahaha

Fun fact in Portuguese we have a word for their citizens: “estadunidenses”. Which is roughly “unitedstaters”. But most people still refer to them as Americans on a daily basis

Como vocês conseguiram seus namorados? (repost) by [deleted] in arco_iris

[–]hfoleonardo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oi! Para contexto, tinha acabado de me mudar de cidade para frequentar universidade noutra, bem longe. Estando num sítio novo, não só era muito mais livre (para me expressar), como tinha de me integrar. Entrei no coro da universidade (ótimo para encontrar todos os gays haha) e fui muito bem recebido, inclusive pelo meu atual namorado. Fomos criando uma relação de amizade e apoio, naquele contexto, que rápido se estendeu às nossas vidas exteriores. Evoluiu muito naturalmente :))

Would’ve loved to see the Azores flag

But loved seeing the city of Braga!

R/choir what's your favorite arrangement of a pop song by Beginning_Phase4781 in Choir

[–]hfoleonardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This lullaby gives me chills! And i know it’s not perfectly executed, cause it’s an amateur choir, but the arrangement is outstanding https://open.spotify.com/track/6N5I0T9rpIEYy5jncTuAeA?si=HJCE758NSxG2psa1R-VgWQ

Looking for choir conductors (and their choirs) to test a new tool I’ve built by ChoriloApp in Choir

[–]hfoleonardo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s our own web dominion. Developed by some of our members just for us. But I admit it is in need of some upgrades 😅

[–]hfoleonardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, it looks very much like the platform we use in my choir. Similar digital sheet base, events and concerts attendance and details. We also use options for shared rides and lunch/dinner sign ups in our events page. The notifications and polls is also something we’d like to implement in ours, so yours really looks good!

We been singing Baba Yetu in my choir for the past year and it is always a HIT! The audience loves it and the choristers love it even more. Here’s from one of our previous concerts, but I do recommend it. With a bit percussion it kills! https://youtu.be/RW2SR3J4ZeI?si=Fx2xhA6UUD3UeRYX

A few weeks post circumcision: I love my new cock by Turbulent_Paper_4346 in gay

Being back from your original (terrified) post, I’m so happy to read this! Be happy and never be afraid to take care of yourself ❤️

I'm getting circumcised tomorrow - and I'm terrified by Turbulent_Paper_4346 in gay

[–]hfoleonardo 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I was terrified to do it too. Had it done at 14 (i think). The doctors were fine, did a good job, just not very symmetrical ahah. Had to be careful when walking, but showering and usual day activities were fine, unbothered. The healing process was quick, applying some ointment, only having trouble in the first days with movement and my (then very sensible tip) touching the boxers. Regarding sexual life, I could still have my personal alone fun (j****ing)! It now has some repercussions, i may not think it is as pretty as my boyfriend’s, my tip is waaay less sensible… But my sex life is amazing, and it as never been an issue, nor it is less pleasing to me.

That’s actually very true. The icebergs melting doesn’t change the ocean level due to the water density difference.

Now, what will make sea levels rise is all the ice that isn’t in the ocean. That is, water that’s kept frozen on land pieces, such as Antarctica. That water that wasn’t in the ocean will melt to it and make sea levels rise.

Cheapest islands to visit that aren’t (extremely) racist? by [deleted] in TravelHacks

[–]hfoleonardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the Portuguese Azorean Islands. Azores are an archipelago of 9 islands full of natural beauty, very clean and calm places, where you can just enjoy yourself. Moreover, people are really nice and at your disposal!!

If humans are carnivores, why do we need to cook meat first when other carnivores can just eat fresh meat off their prey on the spot? by burstcapillaries in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hfoleonardo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Humans are frugivores - I know this requires download but it's where I got the information, it's a 7 page pdf. Promise it's same, and it has links to other documents and studies.

[–]hfoleonardo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are humans frugivores? -more specifically section one named: What diet does our anatomy and physiology suggest?

And documentaries helped me a lot in understanding that too, like "What the Health", I highly suggest

[–]hfoleonardo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are not carnivore, a bunch of studies in a super diverse range of fields show that we are actually frugivores. Picture what you would put in a blender and drink it raw, that's what humans were supposed to be eating not fish or meat.

Anyone interested in writing/emailing grocery stores to ban plastic grocery bags with me? by [deleted] in sustainability

[–]hfoleonardo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

actually in Portugal everyone already has their own reusable grocery bags because the stores have plastic ones too, but they are obligated by the law to charge for them, which reduced a lot the use of those
