Yes. In Brazil we have the same Santa.

The reason the guy doesn't overheat (more often) is because they only cosplay in climate controlled areas like malls. Their costume is also made with breathable and "thin" fabric, not much hotter than your regular sweatpant.

I know a guy that very was vocal against street lights in the 90's.

He was/is an amateur astronomer that modified his rooftop to be an actual telescope and the street lamps were angled in a certain way that like 40% of the light produced by them was shinning to the sky, making his observations harder to perform.

He went to my school to warn about light pollution and also teach us about planets and all that good stuff.

I think he became frustrated and quitted because last time I saw anything about him he was all about rescuing dogs from the street. :/

Does Instagram or YouTube Shorts get you?

Nope. I don't like the format.

A 30 seconds video is like repeating the same mistakes that turned Twitter (yes, even before Elon Musk) to what it is today: a place that there's no shade of gray, no nuance and everything is outrageous. A Short has no time to elaborate on anything and can simplify the subject so much that it becomes just misinformation.

Also I don't believe it's worth for creators in the long run. I'm not a creator myself but I believe that the time-effort to create a video is not linear with its duration. They can make a short so elaborated and viral that it would be more worth to create a full video in regards of sponsorship, ad revenue and subscription retention.

We also have the same decorations like you guys: Christmas trees covered in snow, Santa in cold weather gear, reindeers and probably everything else you can name.

It doesn't make any sense and we know it. It's just an excuse to get drunk and eat a lot.
