I recently learned that some traditions equate the cross with the Tree of Life from the Eden.

In colloquial language the terms are basically synonyms.

Not a good joke. It’s an annoying stereotype, although unfortunately some around here make it sort of deserved 😮‍💨

Yes, there are many Germanic colonies around here, last year we did celebrate 200 years of immigration. Fun fact: the wife of the first Brazilian emperor was an Austrian Habsburg.

My city was founded in 1850, before Germany was even a single country.

While I don’t know when exactly my family came here I know it was way before WW2.

I come from a Germanic colony in Brazil, and while the language has been mostly genocided out, people still sometimes drop random German words in the middle of Portuguese, or mix Portuguese words with some German grammar.
My mother when younger visited Germany and got confused looks from the family hosting her by asking where was the “lixolatte” (“lata de lixo” is the Portuguese for garbage can)

Satan means “Accuser”, in the book of Job he is trying to convince God that humans are too wicked and corrupt to deserve all the gifts God gives us, and and that people only pretend to love God because we expect something in return.

In the book of Apocalypse/Revelation that’s 2 places, there’s the Land of the Dead, and the Lake of Fire; it tells the former will be thrown into the latter at the very end of things, after the Land of the Dead has been emptied.

And even on Dante’s Inferno Satan is just another prisoner, not a ruler.

A problem is that people are both very stupid and very smart, just not about the same things.

I’m from a Germanic colony in south Brazil. I don’t know how they do in Germany.

I’m finding it funny because around here most cars are manual, and when I got my driver’s licence I was strongly warned that looking back instead of using the mirrors would be immediate failure.

Makes me wonder what they are doing to reach these figures.
Because I can run many models at home and it wouldn’t require me to be pouring bottles of water on my PC, nor it would show on my electricity bill.

AFAIK the “issues” with Audacity were only that they added optional telemetry, and made the project lead a former Microsoft guy.

I may be wrong, I avoid looking too much into this type of drama.

Only thing I can think of is liking to have a lot of holidays.

I’m from a Germanic colony, I fit much more their stereotypes.

A joke here in Brazil:
How does an Argentinian commit suicide? They climb on their ego and jump.

We love our hermanos 😁😁

Parsing user input? Nonsense data coming from an API?

There are some German dialects that only survive (barely) in Brazil.

And the German language is much older than Germany.

Nile Tilapia.

Also a type of duck we in my region of Brazil call “marreco”, the name in English seems to be Teal or Garganey.

There’s the problem that “Evangelical” is too broad a category, there are churches that historically are considered Evangelical, but don’t share in that anti-christian insanity.

Flags don’t make sense.
Otherwise this is completely valid:

( ) Italian 🇧🇷
( ) Japanese 🇧🇷
