That's literally the desired effect. What you're thiking of is war.
It's "extremely odd" that an article about actual scientific findings in Doggerland doesn't talk about the rest of the world and then devolve into a stream of consciousness about Atlantis, Noah and oral Aboriginal history?
This is the science of archaeology and the people who do it don't nearly care as much about Atlantis as you.
Are you an actual cartel member lol.
Can't say I care for it.
Because we live in a society? Because suiciding yourself on public roads should be illegal?
Even living in the poor part of the EU is still a lot worse then living in the good part.
>Life here is beautiful
snort
> the sense of community is so much stronger than it is in the west
the community is precisely why I dislike my country. I can't imagine worse torture then being force to live your life with close-minded ignorant people stuck in the past.
Go and be gay or atheist or just strange in your country then tell me how beautiful your life is.
>overall I'd say that people are less stressed. On the flip side, many things are harder for sure - wages are low and working hours are long, good healthcare is hard come by for many people.
As long as you don't care if you starve or die of illness it's all great. So literally the basics of security.
>life is not "nasty, brutish, and short"
sure, it's just relatively nastier, more brutish and objectively shorter in years of life.
>Perhaps, in future, before making such statements about the lives of people from cultures other than your own, you could take a few moments to try and empathize with them instead?
I don't need empathy when I feel it on my own skin.
Pretty weak all in all.
I guess the gangs will appreciate it?
In eastern Europe it's normal for your degree to take anywhere from 1-3 year longer than it should have for various reasons including "taking a year off to chill", but actual, planned gap years where you're not in education are basically unheard of. Let alone gap years where you travel around and spend money.
I know a few people who signed up for master degrees in say Germany and found that almost everyone in the program is a few years older then them.
Their French counterparts do the same job in 5 hours instead of 10.
Keep on convincing yourself its normal.
Chest thumping about a war you lost 50 years ago...
Feel free to volunteer for the front line, most of us Europeans don't quite care that much.
But I'm always amused to think that posters on HN give more credence to their back-of-the-napkin calculations over opinions of, say, folks at Toshiba, Volvo or Daimler.
I can think of many things equally or similarly energy wasteful as Bitcoin.
A year ago you people we're *screaming* that this app is nothing more then the cold red hand of the Chinese Communist Party, a mole designed to steal information of innocent american children and leak it to the dirty chinese bastards so they can rule the world (in some unspecified way).
What changed? Trump left so the insanity of your country is magically exorcised? Is the New Cold war over, done while I was looking at vaccination news? Did Hong Kong became free? Or do you not care about that anymore? No more walkouts for Hong Kong?
I really don't understand this world at all.
How badly the UK did in the negotiations can be seen in the concessions won by the EU with the NI protocol. The actual trade deal covers goods where the UK has a large trade deficit and does not cover services at all.
Also the EU is starting to impose tariffs and checks on goods coming out of the UK, while the UK won't do the same for some time as their border control systems aren't ready and they're missing some 40 000 customs agents. So even as exporters are feeling the pain, the actual mangling of supply chains for british importers is still to come.
While the best case scenario for the EU would've been the UK staying in the customs union, with that option closed this is as good as it gets. There are no winners in Brexit, only relative losers.
