It's like you don't know that Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo were on opposite sides of the Farrapos war or Rio Grande do Sul likes wine and São Paulo drinks more beer.

Regional cultural differences and history don't come into question when it comes to how one country perceives others in the side of the world, so please, refrain from those simplistic ad-hominem arguments.

All the old people who voted for the Big Cheetos will be really surprised when their faces are eaten by the Face Eating DOGE Leopards and their cheques stop arriving.

I doubt their Faux News addicted brains will be able to learn the lesson, tho.

As a resident of a Continental Country that is not the US, we've pretty much always seen Europe as a single, monolithic thing. It's hard for us to grasp how something like France, which is just slightly bigger than Minas Gerais, 4th largest state of Brazil, is a completely separate thing from the rest.

The project had a massive ecological and social impact on the region. People who lost their homes and farms to the lake, were still not re-settled or compensated almost 20 years after it was formed, it displaced native peoples from their ancestral lands, drowned old growth forests which caused them to rot and release CO2 and methane, disrupted the reproductive cycle of several species of fish, towns that were far from the river and then were close to the expanded lake were inundated by mosquitos, I could go on.

But hey, progress right ?

Fucking dictatorship.

Itaipu was completelly unneccessary, A chain of smaller dams would have provided the same capacity, but with lower and more distributed impact, but the fucking dictators had to show how Brazil was capable of tackling huge engineering projects.

Reasons why Ubisoft is in the shitter, facing hostility from both gamers and shareholders alike. It seems the Guillemot familly is hellbent into destroying every last shred of good will left.

That's the true cost of decades of protectionist demagoguery disguised as "national security".

If he scraps the CHIPs act, Intel will be bankrupt before the end of his term. Even worse, it could be bought by a private (in)equity fund.

I got a Chinese EV. Excellent quality, superb design and great performance for an urban car. I couldn't be happier.

The troubling part is that this spyware was pushed to our phones right after the Second Ascension of God Emperor Drumpf.

I don't think this was a coincidence.

Basically, Fall of the Soviet Union 2.0. The west was able to outspend the ruskies until they croaked.

EU, please, keep up the pressure, break those murderous bastards in the Kremlin, don't let them win.
