AlkoInwestor described how to present saving as minimalism. He suggested that instead of talking about a reluctance to spend money, one should emphasize the lack of need for possessions, while referring to a few identical clothes as a capsule wardrobe. According to the author, one can also explain not buying a new phone by stating that the current one meets all needs and allows one to resist marketing. Among the examples, he mentioned refusing to go out to restaurants due to noise and crowds, forgoing vacations in protest against mass tourism, and proposing family holidays without gifts. He jokingly suggested limiting household items to a minimum while simultaneously accumulating ETF units. He advised responding to questions about driving the same car for 15 years with a question about the motivation to buy a new SUV, adding that one can have a functioning Skoda oneself.

Jakub Tepper described six months of pain, inflammation, and fluid accumulation in his knee. As he wrote, the problems began during his stay in Japan, where he walked a lot up and down stairs. In Poland, he visited two physiotherapists and an orthopedist, and also had an MRI done. According to his account, the visits and tests cost him several thousand zlotys in total, and previous treatments provided only short-lived relief. Tepper wrote that during his stay in Japan, he accidentally ended up with a physiotherapist who, after a conversation and brief examination, believed that the problem might stem from pushing the hips forward and improper loading of the legs while walking. The therapist advised him to change the way he placed his feet and went up the stairs, as well as to work on his posture; he also performed massage and stretching. The visit cost 125 zlotys. The author reported that after the meeting, he felt significant relief, and the pain and inflammation almost disappeared. He noted that he did not want to draw categorical conclusions from a single case, but wrote that the Japanese physiotherapist identified the cause of his complaints in just a few minutes. #fizjoterapia #medycyna #zdrowie (translated)

The Central Right evaluated that Flávio Bolsonaro started the debate better by greeting the participants and addressing public security, but Lula had a slight advantage in the first block by putting him on the defensive with questions. According to the author, Flávio avoided directly answering some of them and resorted to rhetorical questions to speak to the audience. In the evaluation of the Central Right, Flávio had a significant advantage in the second block and won the third by a small margin. The author highlighted the candidate's proposals on public security and family indebtedness and said that he also used the discussion to criticize Lula's statements about the people of Rio and his defense of early prison releases. In the final considerations, marked by interruptions, Flávio was said to have performed better, while Lula made mistakes and got flustered. The author stated that Lula dedicated a lot of time to attacks and presented few proposals. He said the president mentioned once the end of the 6x1 shift, but did not address the exemption of income tax for those earning up to R$ 5,000, the end of betting, the adjustment of Bolsa Família, or the free bus rides on weekends. The Central Right rated Flávio Bolsonaro 5.0 and Lula 4.0. Despite this, it stated that it did not expect the debate to significantly alter voting intentions. It also recommended that Flávio focus on the topics he masters and on presenting proposals. Regarding age, it said it preferred not to enter the merit but stated that the debate highlighted difficulties of one of the candidates related to that factor, which it considered concerning. #Debate2023 #SegurançaPública #EleiçõesBrasileiras (translated)
