    Oh America, come on:

    • end (and stop exporting) that vicious tipping culture of yours. Just pay decent wages to people in customer service.

    • change the design of yours bills, make them easily recognizable, with different colors and sizes like normal curencies.

    • take religion out of the money.

    • and since I’m at it, end gun culture and disarm your people. Also SUVs, end that too. And introduce controlled prices in health services, regulate, regulate, regulate, till it becomes a functional system affordable by everyone.

    Thanks. I would love you so much more.

    This car is a status symbol. It’s completely over dimensioned. It pollutes much more, without any added value in transport, harming air quality (people’s health) and climate, it diminishes other’s views on the road, it diminishes driver’s own view of a child crossing the road, it kills much more easily any unfortunate pedestrian. it’s a very strong statement of “fuck everyone else but me”, damaging this car count as self-defense.


  • Padeira de Aljubarrota killed 7 Castillians by cooking them in her bakery’s oven in 1385.

    Brites de Almeida das born in 1350 with 6 fingers in each hand, a though lady, could easily kill a man with her hands (and did it a few times), was kidnapped and enslaved in Northern Africa, managed to escape with her bare hands, helped out 2 other Portuguese guys to escape, stole a boat, sailed back with the guys, had a prob with one of them, killed him. Tried to establish herself in a honest way, but crime and murder were always coming her way somehow, ended up moving towns and disguise herself as a man. Met and older lady friend, a baker, that wanted to maker her an honest person. They lived happily as a couple. Older lady dies, she inherits the bakery. Castille tries to occupy Portugal, big battle, Portugal is outnumbered but manages to have a spectacular win. Some castillans are running around and looting. She lures 7 into her bakery, cooks them alive in her oven. Forever a national hero and legend.

    Nothing of this is proven, including the Castillans she killed (which is the factoid that made her a hero) but there’re even songs about her and whenever Portugal plays against Spain in football you’ll see some people dressed as a baker on the stadium.

    A lesbian serial-killer who escapsed enslavement to kill Castillans in one of the most important battles of our history? To me nothing can be truer than this, independently of what you can prove or not.
