To the people, in special people from USA, that are complaining about the order of the countries, I invite you to take a look at the opening ceremony of Beijing, pay attention to their order. There are other languages besides english, I know english is said to be the universal language, but I hope you know that it’s not in a literal way, not every single person on this planet knows how to speak English, in Beijing they started with Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Turkey, Afghanistan… in that order. Does that make sense to me ? No, but it does to them. Do you guys know the meaning of “empathy”? It’s the act of putting yourself in other people’s shoes. Our language is brazilian portuguese, the vast majority of my people only speaks fluently one language, even if we didn’t, this is our native language, and there’s a freaking subtitle on your tv screen translating the names, it’s not like you guys are clueless about the countries that are being shown. This is our moment, our culture, it’s not about your language, your music style or whatever you guys are complaining about. Stop thinking about yourselves for once and think of others. You guys say we’re rude or arrogant but if there’s one thing I know about my people is that we’re not selfish, and you guys definitely should learn that from us. And before you say something about the London Olympics, remember their native language is english, of course it’d be in the same order you’re used to.

I'm American and it just goes to show how fucking self centered we are because I didn't even know that Brazil made the first plane 😒😒 sometimes I hate this country

Okay let me try and explain this better.

Santos Dumont did not make the first plane in the existence of the world. He built the first plane that flew withoutany sort of external aid,either a geographical one (ex: having the plane go down the hill to getpropulsion) or any sort of tool or instrument (ex: the catapult). He built thefirst plane that could propel itself to fly and be stable while doing it.

The Wright brothers like so many aviatorsaround the world were building machines that could fly but had a catapult topropel it.

Otto Lilienthal, Percy Pilcher,Octave Chanute e Clément Ader hadsuccess waaaaayyyyy before with their ‘planes’ but they had issue withstability and propulsion.

14 BIS was the first ‘plane’ to fly with stabilityand with no external aid propulsion, just like modern days’ planes, making Dumontthe father of the aviation and a pioneer with his machine.

The idea of flying and flying machinesis older than Brazil and American combined.

The mental health toll from the Orlando shooting

What happened at Pulse was a clear act of hate-based violence — and in a historically safe space, no less. The shooting may also produce long-term mental health effects, according to Liz Margolies, psychotherapist and founder of the National LGBT Cancer Network.

People who directly experienced the attack — or know someone who did — may develop post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. “The rest of us could be more vulnerable to anxiety and depression,” Margolies said in a phone interview. If you are feeling affected mentally by the shooting, you are not alone.
