Probably, but then again, that’s never stopped any country from claiming its former territories.

Pre-Columbian American civilizations are incredibly interesting. It’s absurd how far they got without wheels, iron tools or animals like horses and cows. I guess I wouldn’t mind listening about the Aztecs constantly.

Even in winter you’ll hardly ever see snow anywhere in Brazil yet our christmas decorations would make you think this is Northern Canada lol

They’ll never get Vietnam.

Having North Korea as their only neighbour doesn’t help though

I don’t know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter… well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don’t think it qualifies.

What if you keep a baby awake until it becomes an adult?

I have a feeling that someone will later make a 4-hour-long video essay calling them out for it

This is so sweet. Getting to show cool stuff you like to your kids must be one of the best things about being a parent. If I ever end up becoming one I’ll show my kids all the great Pixar movies and also the Emperor’s New Groove cause that one is a classic.

Good thing I installed Mint on her PC then.

Pretty much. All I want is to be able to pay money to legally download old Nintendo games as simple ROM files, is that too much to ask?

We need a yellow evil Ubuntu and a purple evil Green Ubuntu to complete the set

Brazil’s energy will be 270% clean by 2030

Fucking hell, I had no idea and I love this game. This is where I draw the line, I’m joining the Epic hate train now.

Meanwhile, a couple hundred km down in the south of the country it has been raining non-stop for like two months now, with some small towns in valleys having been completely destroyed by floods. The climate here is all wrong, this is not normal.

What do you mean? Kbin is nice.

And vice-versa.

Yeah, I think geography is the main point here. As it stands, China’s coast is fully surrounded by American allies in Japan, Taiwan and the Philippines and owning Taiwan could give them control of the surrounding waters allowing their cargo ships to safely pass through if things get ugly with the US.

Correct. A better comparison would be the annexation of Hawaii by the US.

I’d rather mutate. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Pokémon is that sometimes evolving is just not worth it.
