All but one of the Brazilian presidents from the last 20 years have been arrested at some point (considering Bolsonaro is about to get into that club).

The only one who hasn't been arrested was the one who got impeached.

As people there say, Brazil is not for amateurs.

I see a hymn book in the church called "Behold the Lamb" and think "What a great name for a restaurant!" - I guess that's why I don't come to these places often

I outsourced my memory to an AI pin and all I got was fanfiction Never have I ever been this gaslit by a wearable.

This is scary, hilarious, yet I find myself thinking "oh, this would be useful...". I've always been bad at taking notes of important things, and something like this seems to be a good solution, but this piece is the perfect "what could go wrong" scenario
