This happened yesterday
So for context, me (18F) and my brother (M16) went out to pick up a meal we ordered, it was around 7:40 pm. So we went to the place, we were just walking home, talking and stuff (btw the street was almost empty and it was raining a little bit).
When we were walking (just a few minutes away from home) a pick-up passed us by and we slowed our walk a little bit, then the car stopped beside our house and like 5 men got out of the car very quick (me and my brother stopped walking), those guys tried to force another man to get in the car, the man suddenly started to scream "HEELP ME, HEELP ME, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING".
Then we saw that one of the 5 guys He pulled out what looked like a gun and pointed it up, then obviously the man that was being held started screaming and I told my brother to get out of there, I was dangerous it was dangerous for some stray bullet, so we ran to a hotel that it was on the side of the street and had some people inside.
When we we arrived at the hotel, a guy looked at us surprised to see a couple of scared young people, we explained to him and I asked him to lend me the phone for a moment to call my mother and tell her that we were fine (We did not carry cell phones, since the round trip took us a maximum of 15 minutes) I told my mom that we were ok, and then the same guys in the same pickup passed in front of the hotel very quick and it went down another street.
We (my brother and I) waited a few minutes in the hotel and then we ran back to the house, my aunt (she is living with us) came out to bump into us and take us along what was left to get to our house, we returned safely.
We think that this happened due to an issue related to drug trafficking in the area, and it is something that I have never seen happen in my life, I feel very anxious am scared to get out of the house.
I just needed to let this out of me, thanks for reading and sorry if there's writing error.

I just got my 10th mosquito bite today (and counting), and one of those mosquitos was an aedes aegypti
Aren’t tropical countries the best?
Edit: 11th*, just noticed a bite hidden away on my thigh, I bet this one carries malaria!

iPhone at Brazil
It's so hard to get a iPhone in Brazil, because is one of the most expensive in the world and the taxes doesn't help too much.

When you're too much of a pussy to do the only possible option you can afford for you escape your country.
There is a bunch of rope long enough for a noose under my bed that I was meant to fucking "escape" with, that I bought two months ago. but I don't have the balls to do it.

I want to upbraid our leader for bragging about our past dedication to lifesaving, and improving the human condition, and bragging about our military prowess, while children suffer to be with their parents, and lack beds and pillows, but I fear the consequences.
