These are complex issues and people are willing to discuss them but my comment was about how you straight up compared EU to a communist regime You are alienating yourself from any reasonable discussion by making such extraordinary and basel

This is such a strange comment. I had no idea that anti EU rhetoric escalated so much that it is being compared to China. I mean, of course there are US/EU disputes, even more when the tariffs started, but communist party?

People are mentioning MS Excel and the only other example I can think of is Logo (turtle graphics). It was quite popular in Poland when I was a kid to teach children programming and I vividly remember it was fully in polish (which even at t

Damn, I'm probably reading too much into this and I admittedly don't have kids but that sounds a bit Orwellian. If I were a kid now that much surveillance probably wouldn't bother me, at least at that age, considering that it

What do you mean? Tiananmen Square is a place in Beijing, right next to the Forbidden City. You can visit it all you want, there are so many tourists there. You can get arrested if you want, shouting about the massacre, but there are much e

Articles 'a/an' and 'the' are simply the hardest thing to learn for me (polish native). I've spent so much time trying to figure them out. There are no rules honestly, almost every text in english has a counter

This is fantastic! Standard level as crackpottery goes but visuals are great, he took it to the whole new level, beats all the other html or LaTeX ones. That pdf took a while to format.

The point is, if you perturb it by a small enough epsilon will it go back to the initial configuration or fall apart? Pencil standing on its tip kind of a deal.

My apologies in advance if that seems overly critical of US, I understand why it might look like it but, truly, it's one of those things I just cannot grasp about living there and that's why I'm asking questions, no malice in

Hmm... this contradicts everything everyone else said in this thread. I mean, everyone says that if you have insurance you have no chance of going bankrupt but it is not enough, you have to be insured for enough money in a first place, wh

Thank you all for your responses, that's definitely reassuring though there seems to be a common theme to avoiding poverty cause it's hard to get back on your feet. Well, that's probably true everywhere so... By the way, when

That was very unpleasant to read but what he basically proposes is to change "don't know if true until proven true" to "true until proven false" which is ridiculous.
