Here in Mexico and some parts of LATAM we celebrate Día de los Reyes Magos which is a recalling of the Three Kings visiting baby Jesus, bearing gifts on Jan 6th.

Kids are also supposed to leave their shoes under the Xmas tree and in then when they wake up in the morning, there are some candies and sometimes gifts inside them.

We also cut a big, circular bread called "Rosca de Reyes" that has some small plastic baby Jesus inside, if you are cutting your slice and you get a baby Jesus, you have to buy the tamales for the Feb 2nd celebration, Día de la Candelaria.

While the plastic baby Jesus is supposed to be held with respect because catholicism and stuff, a lot of kids normally throw it away, play with it or sometimes burn it, sometimes you are cutting your slice and you "accidentally" cut thru it too.

Moms and grandmas have a chancla nearby for enforcing peace.

I noticed this as well, can't see much new content and there's usually very little interaction. Looks like it's time to yeet myself back to Instagram

No problems on my end

There is quite a lot of organic interactions in most subs although some big subs and niche subs have Astroturfers

A British software firm, Threads Software Limited, has given Meta a 30-day ultimatum to cease using the name "Threads" in the UK, citing ownership of the trademark.

So it's just a threat with no actual value or feasible legal repercussions?

Divinity 2 with only 3 characters on Honor Mode is pretty fun too

Lego Fortnite (Minecraft) is super good and their Guitar Hero clone is also pretty decent for groups

I'll try to get at least 10 but I also want to try some audiobooks.

Lately I've been re-reading Asimov books and it's been enjoyable but I would also like to read new things too.

He said he would do something abrupt to literally kill the Argentinian peso as he wants to "dollarize" the country

I personally prefer kindle over traditional books just because I can read at night with the kindle and the kindle is lighter than books.

I think reading comprehension is the same, although my very weak arms get tired when reading the book while holding it up while I'm in bed and then I have to go to the next page, and sometimes accidentally go 2 pages forward so it does get distracting in that sense.

I know a lot of people really like physical books because of sentimental/ritualistic reasons though and setting up a kindle/nook is a hassle for them

It must be really messed up seeing all sorts of fucked up content 40+ hours a week

All extremist sides are just everywhere because extremism tends to be the best way for populists to gather votes and attention. Democracy is completely useless when the population is uneducated and cannot choose what's best for themselves in the long, and even in the short term.

Here in Mexico things are getting wilder every year, people choose influencers and tv/sports stars just because they are famous, the president from 2012-2018 was chosen by a big percent of the population just because he was handsome lol

But now the best selling point is extremism, blaming x because of y since you are a victim but we can do z, z being whatever nonsensical and irresponsible measure that would change things.
