@anjodaretaliao2 Nao tem ele nem têm os outros!

70% dos portugueses sabem q o que o Prof. Jorge Miranda está a dizer é a lei. Nenhum partido tem o direito automático de designar juízes. Não existe aqui o princípio de proporcionalidade. Os juízes não representam partidos, por mt que o CH anseie colocar lá alguém que o faça.

@W0rld2026 PORTO! 😂😂 Get yr info together!

Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹

🇵🇹 If you have ever dealt with any Portuguese business (and I have with many in my 5 years here) you know why Portuguese in Portugal simply do not care about work, some foreigners find that refreshing, but it results in a country where you can't find anyone to do work because nobody wants to work And when they do work, the work is generally bad, like imagine stepping into a time machine back to 1970s bad, they also can't follow the spec you agreed upon beforehand, and then when it's 60% done they disappear and ghost you When we did home renovatiom, you hire ppl, they arrive late at 9am (you agreed 8am), they then drive away to get materials, come back 11am, do actual work for an hour, then at 12noon announce they go for lunch, come back around 2.30pm, walk around a bit, do some work, and then leave early at 4pm It's not just construction workers, it's almost every interaction you have here with a Portuguese business, the quality is just low, the service non-existent or customer-hostile, and it's not the language, I speak fluent Portuguese, I'm respectful and friendly which is why I never ever had this amount of issues elsewhere in the world And I know it's not just my experience, it's everyone I know here, even Portuguese complain about Portuguese! It's not completely their fault though, the hostile tax system for both people and businesses literally gives you an incentive to never ever scale your business beyond I believe around €150,000/year, because you end up in a completely different category and tax tier that decimates you with more taxes and more bookkeeping So every business tries to stay small, and doesn't want more customers (how many times have I walked into a Portuguese cafe or shop and the staff or owner *sighed* "not another customer") Add decades of socialist governments that hand out free money to 50% of the country (and even the right wing parties here are socialist btw, they have to be or they don't get votes) and you don't have any incentive to work left Why work when you don't need to work? The majority of the young smart Portuguese people with actual ambitions understandably move elsewhere, because if there's no incentive to grow a business, there's also no jobs for them, and the whole thing becomes a vicious cycle of increasing poverty Which is why I said Portuguese in Portugal at the beginning of this tweet, because Portuguese outside of Portugal are ambitious, want to work, want to improve their lives! Bringing in lots of foreigners like me by the government as a way to pump money into the system, we spend a lot and it pays for the welfare, healthcare and retirements of Portuguese now, but it's not a structural solution (and we also instantly became the scapegoat for the government's decades of mismanagement) It'd be relatively easy to fix this though if people in Portugal would put on their thinking hat: 💡 Make Portugal a great place to start and run a business, model yourself after Singapore but with extremely low taxes (maybe 5-10%) for companies/startups and make it easy for them to hire (and fire) people, the money you lose in taxes you will get back in increased economic activity over time (but it will hurt for a little bit) Because even the foreigners who move here and start businesses get caught up in the reverse incentive spiral of Portugal: Why even work?

@DrAlmarielao @CherokeeOwl Does chipotle get the rice for free?

This is sparking a real debate… 🌯 A customer went into Chipotle and asked for extra rice—something many people believe is supposed to be free. But this time, the manager stepped in and said he’d have to charge for it. What should’ve been a simple request instantly turned into tension. Some people are saying the customer is right, rice has always been free, so why change it now? Others argue the manager is just enforcing portions and trying to prevent people from taking advantage. It’s one of those small moments that turns into a bigger question about fairness, consistency, and where businesses draw the line. Because once you start charging for something that used to be free… everything changes. So who’s in the right here, the customer expecting what’s always been offered, or the manager trying to control portions? And would this make you think twice about going back?

@AngelMD1103 @CherokeeOwl I bet there’s no prenup.

This is the part nobody talks about…💔 She gave over 10 years of her life. staying home, raising kids, building a family, supporting her husband while he worked, and built his career. That was the deal. That was the life. And then, just like that… he wants a divorce. Now everything changes overnight. No job. No income. No car. No backup plan. Just reality hitting all at once. That’s what makes this so heavy… While one person walks away with stability, the other is left trying to figure out how to survive from zero. It’s not just a breakup it’s starting life over with nothing. Situations like this make people question everything, trust, roles, and what “security” really means. So be honest… is this just an unfortunate situation, or is this exactly why relying on someone else financially can be dangerous? And do you think stay-at-home parents deserve stronger protection in cases like this?

@gotrice2024 Sue them all!

This woman has celiac disease and has been gluten free for over 10 years now. She takes the precautions she needs to take so she doesn’t get sick. Today in the flight she was given a croissant and was told that it was gluten free. Only after she had already eaten that they told her a mistake was made and that it was a normal one. She’s now at the restroom after her flight and she’s trying to make herself throw up so that it may lesson the blow. Food allergies are a huge deal, should this airline be sued for this?

@amodosque Explique-me la como se eu fosse mto burra, q sou, qual o papel do conselheiro da cultura do PR?

Não!!!!! Mas tá tudo maluco?? Como é que o António José Seguro comete esta falha incompreensível!!!?? Vai convidar um ex-Secretário de Estado da Cultura de Passos Coelho que a primeira coisa que fez quando assumiu poder foi extinguir de forma leviana e ignorante o Ministério da Cultura - desenhado e bem estruturado por Manuel Maria Carrilho- , começando logo à primeira oportunidade por utilizar o clichê da direita-burra contra a subsidio-dependência dos artistas: "o dinheiro do Estado, para sermos justos, mata a independência / Não temos 250 milhões de euros e não acho que tê-los fosse bom para o futuro do teatro. / Não é humilhante não haver subsídios, humilhante é não haver tanta gente quanta gostaríamos no teatro” (PUBLICO, 16 de Dezembro de 2011). A 2ª coisa que fez foi nomear diretamente a artista Joana Vasconcelos como representante portuguesa na Bienal de Veneza (2013), elevando-a a artista oficial do regime, incorrendo no incumprimento do Artº 43 da CRP, usando autoritariamente do seu gosto pessoal como curador-mor da república, contrariando as boas práticas de constituição de juris independentes. Enfim uma autêntica farsa! E é neste preciso momento histórico da guerra cultural e do recrudescimento da extrema-direita no ataque aos direitos humanos e culturais que António José Seguro toma esta decisão?!?! Confesso: só por isto, já me arrependi de ter votado pelo seguro!!! Rui Ibañez Matoso

@WorkElizab RUN

What should I do?

@intrigaint O memorial do convento foi inovador d1 ponto de vista formal. No +, a obra de JS é apenas banal.

Por acaso eu sou mais leitor do Mário de Carvalho do que do Saramago, mas o Saramago além de ser o único Nobel da língua portuguesa teve a sua obra amplamente reconhecida, por nomes que vão de Harold Bloom a Ursula K. Le Guin. Uma decisão absurda.
