Net Neutrality is barely a thing that people even think about outside of OECD. In a lot of countries nowadays Facebook (and only Facebook) doesn't count against your data anymore.

TheLovablePlutonis posted:http://graphics.latimes.com/syria-to-brazil/ I opened some job positions for syrian refugees in my company and I heard some stories that sorta match this article. That the syrian lebanese community is full of assholes that either only care about christian refugees, or don't care at all. This guy told me he has family in here, and they told him not to call them or try to get in contact in any way. Also it seems to me that a lot of their problems stem from living in São Paulo, with one of the higher costs of living in the country and all the usual problems that come with a metropolis.

The Syrian/Lebanese community in Sampa is mostly made of Maronites yeah (On other cities too, there's a big church founded by them near to where I live). Isn't there a sizeable Muslim population on Foz do Iguaçu and some cities on Goiás though?

Though I worked with some muslim syrian descendants and they were completely secular, only their parents or grandparents did anything close to practice islam and none of them actually congregated.

I've been reading a lot of stories about Brazil refusing to accepting Israel's new ambassador because he's a big time settler person - is this any kind of story in Brazil itself?

Nope. But if there was a lack of bad news, the government opposition would probably spin this as Dilma being a terrorist supporter, like this dude here about the Palestine embassy being built in Brasilia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vy5xmGMELus I like how the guy just makes things up on the spot: - Lula donated the terrain - Also donated extra 25 million - The terrorism embassy plans on taking over brazil in 15 years - They will fill the embassy with bombs and AK-47s - 75% of muslims support ISIS nerdz fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Jan 13, 2016 |

Venezuela actually needs a 500 bolivar bill and they never got around to design it and print it. Everything about our money is stupid, the limit per withdrawal on an ATM in Venezuela is 600 bolivares (A dollar is 860 bolivares), and for whatever loving reason the workaround for that was just allow you to withdraw 6 times per day rather than withdraw more money per transaction. So you have to wait in line for 20 loving minutes waiting for some rear end in a top hat to withdraw a whooping 3 and a half dollars worth of bolivares  .

I still remember going to the local House of Coinage in Buenos Aires, and they had a section telling of a series of bills where they started chronologically with presidents of Argentina. Except due to inflation they had to keep printing higher denominations, and eventually ran out of presidents.

Hey it was what the museum said. I think it was some rather early version of the peso, that's why they ran out of dudes so quickly. At any rate, knowing our country's history it's convincing enough to be true.
