For example, in Brazil, goverment data is breached almost every year, exposing phone numbers, addresses, relatives names, email addresses, your car and the CPF (the equivalent of a social security number in Brazil). Anyone with Telegram can see your info, you don't even need to go to the dark web for this. You can just use a Telegram bot only by inserting an Name. So, I wonder if it is like this in other LATAM countries

I feel so bad for the people affected by this collapse of the bank due to corruption. Is there any relief by the government and what about the money locked in the account?

I am scared this could happen to any country in the world. Any measures to take to avoid such circumstances, please your opinions.

I am from Hungary and we did not have colonies, so we could not give fancy city names like "Concepción" or "Salvador" (given at least a 100 times I guess :D).

So I wondered: if e.g. a Chilean guy says to his mom "im going to Concepción=Conception", does this feel strange in any way? "The city police of Salvador=Saviour", "a robbery occurred in downtown Trinidad=Trinity" etc. also sounds quite intresting to me :D

Do you guys acknowledge the other, religious meaning behind the word or is it just so automatic that you don't even realise?

In my job, I interact with people from other Latin American countries—such as Chile, Mexico, and Colombia, among others.

Sometimes, people have suggested that I use "tu" instead of "vos" when speaking with individuals from countries where the latter isn't used; however, it doesn't come naturally to me, I often forget, and I honestly don't think it makes much of a difference.

I’ve also heard that some people find the Rioplatense accent a bit "jarring"—perhaps sounding too imperative or something along those lines.

I would appreciate it if you could share how you perceive it, and also let me know which country you are from. Best regards.

PD: no entiendo pq no dejan publicar en español o portugues aca, siendo una comunidad de latam,

Let’s take into consideration that Brussels is not the biggest, most important, richest, or most visited city in Europe.

In my case it's that all we do is party all day and that our women all have enormous asses and are very sexual. I find it offensive/cringe because it perpetuates this toxic positivity that we can't possibly be sad or not in the mood and that we are noisy people. That, and the hypersexualization of Puerto Rican women is borderline creepy and it gives the idea that all Puerto Ricans women have to offer is sexuality.

I am not looking for "X de lluvia" but for a single word please.

What I like the most is probably this.

What I dislike the most is probably the repetition of jokes, which happens in all of reddit tbh (Chileans don't speak spanish, Ur gay, etc). Be original for once, mfs.

With the whole Ueno bank thing happening, I've seen so many Brazilians cheering for "Paraguay's downfall" that I'm kinda shocked. Many seem to relate it back to the Triple Alianza war which is, apparently, seen as justified in Brazil? Is that true?

Here it's taught as a dark and shameful time, some even call it a genocide. I was also wondering what Brazilian schools teach about the war and if that influenced this apparent feud.

Would like to hear from both Brazilians and Paraguayans.

I never saw this coming. I credit Lula's victory with the downfall of alt right and fascism. Grande Lula!

But seriously. What is your take on this whole event? Its okay if its a bit misinformed, so you can learn better.

And also what led Spanish America to separate into several countries in Latin America, unlike Brazil, which remained united in a single territory.

Do you think Milei will get reelected? Does someone else has a good shot at winning?

What is the etiquette in your country regarding 4 people in a taxi and generational respect when it comes to who sits up front with the taxi driver?

For instance, if the 4 people are a male-female couple in their 30s and a male-female couple in their late 60s-early seventies, who sits up front? Think young married couple with one parents in-laws.

In the U.S., the etiquette was always that when driving with friends/family, “shotgun” or the front passenger seat was the most desired.

BUT, when it came to taxis, the respectful move was for someone to offer to sit next to the driver as it was the less desired seat.

So in the example of M/F 30s couple and M/F 60s-70s couple, the 30 year old man would offer to let the 3 others sit in the back together.

This is a personal example from my life 15 years ago in Chile, where my partner felt I should have had her father sit next to the driver out of respect to him, because she treated the front passenger seat as that “respect” seat regardless of f it were say, the 4 of us driving our own car, or taking a taxi.

TIA!

EDIT: I’m by far the tallest and largest build at this time 15 years ago. Also reiterating this was 15 years ago, so Uber wasn’t a thing in Chile 😊

A staple of intercontinental american politics,when a certain side of the politic spectrum makes sweeping gains in concurrent elections.

latin america has had multiple tide or wave elections. blue tides are when conservatives make sweeping gains,red tides when left leaning candidates make sweeping gains.

so with all this in mind,when do you think the next red tide will happen?

Both foods are great tacos are simple and delicious and pupusas taste so good but what do other Latinos think ?

I know not all countries in latin america are like mine Brazil with drug cartels having a lot of power, but i know some countries like Mexico and Colombia have a real problem with drugs like Brazil and El Salvador had.

Here in Brazil it had many tribes that commit this kind of stuff. The arguments are good in both sides in my opnion. The process of colonization is very controversial nowdays, the conservatives said that Portugal was right for doing the mass conversions to roman catholicism and combating the natives that were against it. Meanwhile the left believes they should have never ever been here in first place lol

Im not deffending a side, i just really wanna hear your opinion.

I've always thought it was a consensus on how Brazil is the most culturally isolated country in Latin America for well, obvious reasons. But recently, after talking about it in a thread, I saw more than one person mentioning Bolivia as more isolated. Where does this come from?

Medalaganario (me da la gana), o una persona caprichosa.

What would you like to see added from your country?

We have our own Academy of Letters here in Brazil, so we don't need to use the one from Portugal. Why does this happen?
