I'm watching a Law & Order episode from 1991 and Logan just bought the packs of cigarettes for $6.75. 😂

Uh, *three*. Lousy typos. (Please add toot-editing, mastodon, another feature twitter could never add.)

@laerm Agree. Sometimes I write something wrong because I usually type fast and my keyboard isn't the same from 5 years ago, and I need to delete the toot and write it again

@srtaveneno Yep! I understand the need to keep things as they are to help dissuade some abuses but a 60- to 90-second edit window would be nice.

@laerm Yes, especially because this could be only to replace some wrong typo (for me would be amazing, because I'm not an English native speaker, and sometimes I find myself thinking: "hmmm Did I write this correctly?" - and speaking for me is faster than writing, oddly - so, my thinking-writing flow gets messy)

@srtaveneno Well, I wouldn't've guessed that English wasn't your native language. Where are you from?

@laerm yes! I'm happy to read that - I'm from Brazil, I speak Portuguese (but I also speak Spanish, because I live in a country surrounded by Spanish speakers, and I feel it's important understanding our neighbors)
(I pretend I know French, but everything that I learned at college I just forgot. Shame)

@srtaveneno Ah, a friend of mine moved to Brazil a few years ago and loves it. It seems like a pretty great place.

@laerm It's a good place (we have our problems - which country doesn't? - but it's a beautiful place. Beautiful beaches, huge cities, many cultural landmarks to see and funny people - really funny. Our best trait is our self-depreciating sense of humor.)

@srtaveneno Someday I will visit South America. My wife's cousin is married to a Paraguayan and I have a friend who is Chilean.

@laerm I have a friend who visited Chile, she said it's amazing. I went to Uruguay a few years ago, it was AMAZING! I went there in the winter (and I'm from a place where we don't have winter - it's just one hot season and another not-so-hot season), so I suffered a little with the cold weather

@srtaveneno Oh yeah, that would be odd for me. I like winter and don't like the heat... I would be uncomfortable.

@laerm in Brazil, if you go south (no pun intended) you can find places where you have winter - rarely you see snow, but it's a little bit cold. In my state, I can't even wear a puff jacket :joy: because our winter doesn't exist. Just rains in May, June...

@srtaveneno Yeah, my friend is in São Paulo and she says it gets a little cool there. She recently visited Lençóis Maranhenses and posted some amazing photos. What city do you live in?

@laerm Salvador, Bahia. A beautiful city, incredible history and great food.
