My story is kinda cool. TLDR: she stole my cat.

We lived in the same street, but other than the occasional nod when passing by each other, never really talked. I always thought she was cute, though. Oh, and she was married to a typical abusive guy.

One day my cat escaped, and after a week of searching, I almost gave up. Then one day she knocked on my door and asked if that cat was mine, because she thought she was a stray, and took her in. She gave her back, apologized, and that was it. But that cat would always find a way to go back to her place, and we kind of agreed to let her have 2 homes. Still didn't talk too much or anything.

Years passed, and she finally had enough of her husband, got a divorce, and moved out. Came to ask if she could take the cat with her, and I said that's ok, she barely came to my place anymore anyway.

More time passed, we kept a little in touch, but still didn't really talk to each other. And then I decided to have a barbecue at home for my birthday... I invited mostly people from work, but then thought: "it would be cool to invite her". And so I did. We talked, and talked, and when we realized, it was already 10 pm (barbecue was supposed to be from noon to sunset). She went home, the next day I invited her out, and long story short, we've been together for almost 5 years, living together for 3 and a half years, have 6 cats, and our first son is about to be born.

Very common in Brazil, but without the 'h'. I was surprised when I learned about "that" Ghislaine.

For some reason posts from this community always appear on my everything feed, and I can never understand them. This one needs no translation, though!

Peer reviews. For the results to be acceptable around the scientific community, their methods and conclusions need to be validated by at least 2 other scientists familiar with that subject. Like someone said, there is axiv.org, that lets you upload your paper without this review, but it's more of a method to claim precedence if someone else publishes a similar work. It's usually not a scitation source that is taken seriously. This could, of course, be improved! There are open access journals that charge the scientists instead of the readers, but there are several scam journals popping up every day that will usually publish anything without reviews.

I am sorry about this student and what happened to them, but that's not true. The crime though (mostly mugging and pickpocketing), especially in Rio and SΓ£o Paulo cities, is something to be concerned about.

Same! For me, it was an ok action/fighting movie. There is a message there, but the message itself is not as deep as people want it to be, and nothing new. It was just OK.

Also Brazil

Edit: not to mention the flash-flooding thunderstorms, tree-shattering winds, and so, so many hills.
