It’s true, here it’s more like “Andean <something>” (“<algo> andino”)

No, but I want to be one.

It sort of looks like if Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy were going to pop out from that thing

Colombian here - as you might know, most people here are catholic.

A bit of story.

My mother says her eldest brother was like the evil on earth. He raped her younger sisters, used to beat up all of them – his younger brother grew up with serious mental issues because of that, and now we are having issues trying to get him into an asylum because, again, third world problems - stole the house and land of their parents (which wasn’t a lot, but left my mother and her sisters with nothing when their father died) and even treated violently my grandmother. I never got to know my grandparents because they died when my mother was young.

So my mother says one night my grandmother was really ill and this person (I have never seen him, not even in pictures) arrived home and beat her up and went to sleep. Then allegedly “the spirits” (“las almas”) came when he was asleep and beat him up so hard he screamed and woke everyone up - like they could see how “the spirits” lifted him across the room and hit him violently, but never could see any of those “spirits”.

A few weeks or months after that my grandmother died and all of my aunts had to get miserable jobs trying to survive and this bastard still showed up from time to time to steal the few bucks they could earn.

Eventually all of them (except my uncle) got married and all of them but the elder sister never saw him ever again.

Now I’m atheist and don’t believe in this kind of stuff, but the saying is that “the souls” do that kind of thing to really awful people. So if Carson’s incident is true (and if “the souls” exist and are able to do that), now you may have a possible explanation for that.

Ain’t that what edgelord “comedy” is all about, tho?

I mean, half of the USA think a fascist egomaniac, pedophile and pathologic liar with a brain the size of a tomato is the messiah, so…

From my ignorant point of view Microsoft had in its very own hands a solid competitor to Facebook but ended doing absolutely nothing with it.

I still can recall the MSN/Hotmail profiles - it was kind of a news feed that recorded all your statuses from MSN (or you could add your own there). Your contacts could add comments on those. I seem to recall at some point you could add posts with pictures too.

But all of that just disappeared when they ditched MSN.

They could’ve beat Facebook in its own game easily, as they had the advantage of their huge userbase - but somehow they missed on that too.

I should be another one of those “dumber than the average human” folks (and yesterday Lemmy told me so because they are saying two different apps on my phone are the same app…?) but am pretty sure the thing with Israel went off the Hanlon’s razor long ago.

Never heard about °R and °RA before this meme
