My father had another son with his 2nd wife when he was 58. At first I thought he was too old and it would be a burden for him and for the kid, but finally it works fine for everyone. He kind of seems younger now and my brother (now 11 years old) deals fine with having an older dad.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

Nolan is my favorite director. The Prestige and Memento are absolute genius movies, I cannot rewatch then enough times. Inception is great too. But Interstellar is so boring and pointless, I stopped it after 2 hours of nothing happening on the screen. It's hard to believe all those movies were made by the same person

What's an unscientific opinion that you firmly hold?

Not answering directly the post, but something in line with it: I believe not all (maybe most of) knowledge is scientific, but that doesn't invalidate it. A lot of things can't be studied by the scientific method, but people intuitively understood and learned about it along the centuries.

This should be common sense, but society has gone crazy about considering only science as knowledge and now ignores valuable learnings that sometimes are more right then science itself.

This should not be confused with negating science (like global warming deniers): when you can study something by the scientific method normally you will get deeper and with less mistakes with it. But when you don't, you can still have knowledge by other methods

I've had this puzzle on my phone for years. Every few months I'd glance at it and try and solve it. Last night, as I was eating dinner, I finally figured out the answer!

Once I saw a video about Mario Kart speedrunning history and there was a record on Rainbow Road that lasted for years. Than someone broke it but just told the community without showing how it was done. In a couple of days someone else figured it out and did it too. Sometimes we just need to know it is possible

Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, but differ on those kind of things. We say "a biblioteca é ali" (though "a biblioteca está ali" is also used).

We also don't use "me fez feliz" (it made me happy) as much as they say "me puso feliz", normally you say "fiquei feliz" (i became happy)
