Someone said “Baby Boomers did that thing where you leave a single square of toilet paper on the roll and pretend it’s not your turn to change it, but with a whole society” and now I can’t stop thinking about it.

Portugal devia olhar para a Nvidia e inspirar-se. Podíamos abrir os primeiros Nata Centers

Carros com matrícula alemã em Portugal já são mais do que as mães

@fodido Eu não fui. Mas conheço quem tenha (quase) sido 😂

Por engraçado que pareça, só deve haver meia dúzia de portuenses que não foram assaltados na Foz.

@andyperbonie Dei-te follow por causal deste post.

Dejé crypto, por fin. Después de meses pensándolo, por fin tomé la decisión. Obviamente seguiré usándolo para lo realmente importante: solucionar barreras de pago, inversión a largo plazo, intereses más altos y merch cool. Desde hace un tiempo para acá la industria ha perdido su esencia. Qué pasó con la descentralización, el poder de una economía para todos, la revolución financiera? Más de $606 millones robados solo en el 2026. +90% de proyectos web3 en la ruina. Manipulación de mercado masiva y decisiones arbitrarias de CEOs que ahora son solo fantasmas. Todo pareciera ser una farsa - un circo del cual no quiero ser más parte. Así que un break parece ser la mejor opción por ahora. Mi ego estuvo luchando por mucho tiempo con esta decisión porque me decía: "Wow, ¿todo este tiempo invertido para nada Andrea? Que fácil te retiras!" Pero no. No es fácil dejar a un lado algo por lo que luchaste por tantos años. No es fácil quitarse la careta y decir "esto ya no me identifica". Lo más valiente es reconocer que ESTA fase de la industria no es para mí. No me encuentro en ningún proyecto. La reputación está en la mierda y lo peor es que NO HAY SIGNOS DE MEJORA. Puedes pensar distinto y eso está bien, pero los números no mienten, y ya es hora de dejar de creerse superiores solo porque aguantamos más sufrimientos que otros. No somos mejores. No hemos hecho nada revolucionario más allá de ampliar métodos de pago. No somos descentralizados. Por ahora, AI is the fucking KING. Y BTC DCAing always. Fue un placer conectar con gente tan maravillosa en este journey.

Tenho passado mais tempo a preparar pequenos-almoços diferentes desde que fiquei desempregada. Infelizmente, perdi o hábito de tirar fotografias de tudo e mais alguma coisa, mas a manhã começa logo com uma dose extra de dopamina depois de criar isto.

Reading about Portuguese colonial adventures, you get the impression that these men had testosterone levels that would make Ronnie Coleman blush.

@0xBawar Louder, for the people in the back :)

I don't remember where I found this, but its spot on.

My entire college experience was truly about meeting ppl with leftist politics who loved the idea of class struggle as an aesthetic but were horrified to learn my dad had a ninth grade education and I was in the same class as them

I'm an eldest daughter which means I'm automatically irritated by your incompetence because l was never given room to be imcompetent. I won't be elaborating. The daughters who know get it.

@st0icescu Best of luck! It’s one of the best crypto courses out there. You get to learn so much from amazing people and projects

@VBujas Estamos com menos um porque o polaco não pensou no que estava a fazer. Reckless choices

@VBujas É impressionante como jogamos tão mal desde o primeiro minuto. É esta a equipa que está em primeiro lugar na liga portuguesa???

@0xBawar This is a great initiative!! Well done! I’ll create a profile

Crypto hiring is broken. Ghost candidates after four rounds. Hide salaries until the offer letter. Hire through group chats and nepotism. Ignore global talent because "time zones are hard." Pay in mystery tokens with a 4-year cliff. Verify nothing. We built deciml to fix this. The job finds you. Not the other way around. You create your profile once. That's it. No endless applications. No rewriting your CV for every role. AI matches you to jobs that actually fit your skills, experience, and what you're looking for. When something matches, you click apply. One click. Want to know what you should be asking for? We built a salary benchmarking tool based on real Web3 placements. No more guessing if you're being lowballed. You get notified when something relevant drops. In the app, Telegram, however you want it. You also get notified when your application moves stages so you're never sitting there wondering. Full salary transparency on every listing. Skills verification that actually means something. A shareable profile link you can drop anywhere. Try it now.

@levelsio People getting rage bait because you’re telling the truth is hilarious

🇵🇹 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?
