Of course citizen. All of them are excellent and equal, but some are more excellent and equal than the others.

For most people home office makes sense for practical reasons - long commute, spending more time with the family, living in a nicer / cheaper location but having a well paying job. On the other hand, extreme introverts that don't

"I'm not saying people in the Balkans are less sexist (OMG no :D) but they seem a lot more chill in dealing with this issues." Exactly, probably more sexism, but the discourse around it and life in general is not venomous. My

Eastern Europe is generally behind on adopting the latest social transformations compared to Western Europe, which in turn is late compared to the US. As such EE is currently not facing the turmoil which has engulfed the US and is well unde

Feminism as it is practiced today in the West is a lost cause, but it's been dying for decades. Like many movements around social justice it was hijacked by radicals and became totalitarian in its beliefs, to the point that it brings d

How can one get charged with raping and torturing a 10 year old and with possession of child pornography unrelated to that child and is then out on bail for two years? When one considers the UK scandals involving children gang rapes and

Missing every delivery target counts for you as success? Your business partners/managers will likely disagree.

Your whole argument is undermined by the massive orders the EU put for this vaccine and how it was and is fighting to get those orders delivered in spite of all the screw-ups by AZ. Seriously, how do you come up with these conspiracy theori

No, it's the botched trials, reports about reduced effectiveness from politicians and specialists and reports about side-effects.

In an alternative universe, where we only had AZ maybe it would be considered awesome, but in our dimension, we have vaccines which offer better protection and fewer side-effects than AZ. AZ's always been clouded in controversy from

I think price + unproven was a big concern for the less wealthy countries. One has to keep in mind with the EU that we tried our best to avoid splitting the continent into winners and losers based on which countries were the wealthiest. Unf

Another big reason why the vaccine orders were delayed in the EU was that many governments were unconvinced about mRNA vaccines and wanted a classical vaccine. So your family's in good company there. They're also right that we don

Doctors in the EU are obliged to educate the patient on the risks and benefits of vaccines. It's not unheard of that they don't, but it is our right as patients to know the basic information about any vaccine we are being admini

I have the feeling that this movement has the potential of destroying our public discourse culture, to undermine free thinking and remold our societies to be more unfair, capricious and despotic. We're seeing the modern equivalents of

Being against the existence of trans people and criticizing the claims or actions of people that happen to be trans are two different things. But the online trans community is extremely aggressive against any criticism, trying to slander

Credibly accused is not a thing. You're either guilty or not guilty and he hasn't been found guilty.

WTF does it even mean to be "credibly accused"? It doesn't matter how one is accused if at the end they are not convicted . This is the whole principle behind a nation of law.

You have to get convicted in order to be punished, anything else is mob justice.

I've seen many replies, but not this one, so I'll chime in. I am not concerned about diversity in tech and this was never on my mind until it started getting shoved down everyone's throat by American companies and activists.

I bet the risks for flu are even lower than that and I still get the vaccine every year like clockwork. Because having the disease sucks and can leave you with long-term sequelae. The fact that we have insufficiently tested vaccines does ma

Your claim is false, because for some (many?) people this disease doesn't seem to cause even mild symptoms. It's always possible that some terrible consequence will only be visible years later, like for Measles, but we don't

Your claims are off-topic and irrelevant with respect to the safety of this vaccine. Any potential safety issues with vaccines must be investigated, otherwise there will be a huge problem with trust in vaccines and in the regulator. There&#
