Realmente, um plano sem desvantagens.

@monsieuricon planning to visit any portuguese speaking country?

O Brasil é um país muito acolhedor :)

@mpdesouza Nenhum plano concreto. :) I'm just a language nerd and Brazilian Portuguese sounds good to my ear.

@monsieuricon muito bom saber! Bons estudos :) feel free to ask anything in/about Portuguese:)

@monsieuricon Yeah, pretty common situation in Brazil

@mairacanal @monsieuricon do you keep bears around to protect from stealing wallets?

@vbabka @monsieuricon No, we keep bears in the bathroom because, with their thick fur, they absorb any lingering humidity and convert it into a delightful, fruity mist that fills the room. It is pretty useful around beaches.

@vbabka @monsieuricon Now, I'm thinking about the image I'm selling from Brazil here: pickpocket, bears, and humidity.

The funny thing is we don't have bears in Brazil. Actually, there is only one bear species on all South America, the Spectacled bear, but he lives in the Andes.

@mairacanal @vbabka @monsieuricon what you do have are some seriously fucked up spiders and bees and generally your creatures are monstrous.

Brazilian wandering spider just pops into your shoes for laugh? Fuck that

@ljs @monsieuricon @vbabka I never saw a Wandering Spider in my shoes. TBH the only animals I see around are mosquitos, Pomeranian puppies, and small crabs on the beach.

I'll start a new campaign in my Mastodon, called "Brazil is great, let's host LPC 2026 here, please bring Kernel Hackers to the tropics"

@mairacanal @monsieuricon @vbabka I'm scared I've heard so many stories of the spiders and bees.

Not nice bees, nasty bees that eat meat.

Maybe you've repressed all the memories??

@mairacanal @ljs @monsieuricon @vbabka I have never seen a Wandering Spider in my shoes either. 🦶

@ptesarik @mairacanal @monsieuricon @vbabka the biggest N/A ever

@ljs @monsieuricon @vbabka I only heard one story about spiders hidden inside shoes, but it was on the countryside and 30 years ago.

In the city, I only remember about the time that they found a tiger wandering around my university and they shutdown classes for a day.

@mairacanal @monsieuricon @vbabka oh ok so you are trying to chill me out about spiders by saying 'yeah relax about that but you know sometimes there are tigers and bears'

Might skip LPC that year

@ljs @monsieuricon @vbabka Come on, not bears, just "big cats", as the news put it

Also crocodiles never stopped you from going to Florida, so let's enjoy a warm and quite LPC in Copacabana

@mairacanal @monsieuricon @vbabka loll one of those 'tigers' that is actually a chonker kitty love it, we've had a bunch of reports like that in the UK.

I may be the only Brit who's NOT been to Florida.

And alligators are cute!!

Spiders not cute. Not at all.

Bears are quite cute though tbh

@ljs @monsieuricon @vbabka Lorenzo, let's face it, you are dreaming about the day you'll be in Copacabana beach drinking Caipirinhas with your MM bros

@mairacanal @monsieuricon @vbabka weeping openly because I fucking stupidly signed up to maintain shit. MORE CAIPIRINHAS!

@mairacanal @ljs @monsieuricon dunno about Lorenzo but I'm sold!

@vbabka @mairacanal @monsieuricon yeah but you're Czech, I could offer you lighter fluid and you'd come to a conference at the north pole

@vbabka @mairacanal @monsieuricon (better than starobrno?)
