They were different. My parents (form former soviet commie bloc) tried in vain to get approval from secret service to travel to Yugoslavia, you literally had to have special stamp in the passport on the border or ciao or worse. Traveling of

There is a reason why Albania was for a long time the poorest country in Europe. This is one of the reasons, maybe the largest one.

At one point, every third Albanian had either been interrogated by the Sigurimi or they had been incarcerated in labour camps, around 25k murdered [1] Albania was even within eastern communist block considered utter shithole run by mad para

Doom in which way? Russia is not going anywhere, population is in complete acceptance of current state (despite everybody complaining, but thats nothing new). Chinese seem the same, don't take some isolated protests from time to time i

Quality of life, if you define an actual proper life as something happening outside of work hours and sleep. We don't worry whether my insurance will cover the next health issue that will happen to me, be it broken leg or lifelong cost

Whats far more important than academic skills are social skills, how she fares on that aspect? Thats where real threat of this lies, not general population having IQ 80. Life without good or at least normal social skills is pretty miserable

Nobody is far enough, not with that actual power. Everything is connected and ripple effects travel far. Plus our european politicians are weak and largely clueless, we will fold in front of China and let them roll over our automotive indus

Yeah, but the times I've seen parents actually address/redirect bad behavior or of their kids in constructive ways are few and far apart, many sort of gave up or go to the other extreme. Small kids lack a great deal of emotional e

Its a tool. Flawed tool by design, the flaw is obvious to some and not to others, yet all experience it. Tool that have many similar tools as competition, albeit none is exactly the same. TikTok and only TikTok an 'important tool'

So we get down to actual situation - TikTok is way too popular and not under reach nor control. The hell will sooner freeze that me as an European will believe US government is not weaponizing data of all US companies it can get it hands on

> Am I wrong in holding skepticism here? Certainly. The whole corruption setup is always done in such a way that there is never direct proof, only some more or less well hidden ones. So if you expect somebody here will post a recording o

How out of touch with general politics are you? This is how things are done, globally, in every democracy, since forever, you just need to look close enough. I can see similar type of corruption all over Switzerland for example where I live

I don't think its that simple. If we look back far enough, it was more like the man/men hunted or gathered and women took care of kids, fire and cooking. If I look at less distant ancestors, they all worked in the fields, and so d

Not really. Living in Switzerland, colleague has Model S, and over whole night plugged in his house he can charge only around 9km/h. That basically covers his commute but he can't build up charge for the weekend if he started week

If you've ever been to that country, or any similar country, you would notice that real professional competence across whole society is scarce, and most tourism industry is just barely faking it in terms of security and professionalism

Maybe we should start asking very single tribe/minority across the world if they want to be independent. We would very quickly find that current states are rather fragile conglomerates sometimes holding together by surprisingly weak fo

Now that would be a real tragedy, bunch of common folks largely clueless about finances suddenly becoming millionaires. If anything lottery winners have thought us is mostly just a destructive event.

Its often not directors defining pacing and length of the result, but producer/studio. A lot of bitter conflicts came up from this.

I bought recently Samsung HW-Q990D, generally better rated than similarly priced Sonos. Had a bit of mental resistance with the Samsung+audio pair, I am more a Sennheiser type of person. Sound is fine, not hifi just a notch below, but good

This is pretty normal setup these days, we have the same with HP boxes, previously connected to HP laptops, now Dell. Coming to work and just connecting single usb-c cable. Also when I connect my Samsung S22 ultra to this usb-c cable, via S

Jeez, somebody not going immediately full mental meltdown fully public for reason X Y Z should be immediately dismissed. You have 0 info about him or his life, so it would be wiser to stop passing clueless judgements.

At one point, one has to be either 'life smart' and look around at all the life lessons from other people, or end up repeating many of those.

You probably don't have kids. Or if you do, that's really low amount of time and overall pretty horrible long term life quality setup, I guess then wife picks up most of family chores. Maybe your career is stellar, added value as
