In Spanish, we have these words:

hay (there is) ahí (over there) ay (ouch)

And it's infuriating when people can't pick the right one in writing.

In the case of Colombia, there are independent investigation agencies that aren't subject to any of the three branches, and specifically the judiciary branch has a committee that investigates disciplinary trespasses by judges. Also, there are three separate "Supreme Courts": one handles typical everyday cases, another handles conflicts between citizens and the government, and another handles Constitutional violations. So there are several protections against a rogue Court.

And we still haven't gotten to the part where government workers, all the way up to the president, are forbidden from making any public statements in favor of candidates or campaigns.

My first stop is always Wikipedia. The rest of the internet is a minefield.

Colombian here. I speak Spanish and English. I can read Portuguese, French, Catalan, Italian and little bits of Romanian and Esperanto. I have minimal understanding of Japanese, Dutch and Hindi.

It's a worrying sign. Disney should have more of a backbone against trolls.

There's also Mbin, the successor to Kbin. The instance I'm on is Fedia.io.

My gigantic list of RSS feeds was painstakingly built by going to the Wikipedia article of the list of newspapers and news agencies in each country. That's a good place to start collecting the sources that interest you.

Colombian here. Mandatory military service is morally indistinguishable from slavery. I only was spared from it because I used a loophole that lets you skip it if you're already in college.

It has to be a joke that you posted it on the science forum of all places.
