Weren't they peacefully protesting until they were forcefully disbanded by the police?

This was supposed to be just that, a small first step along the way. I am very curious about the punitive aspect of it though. I've never heard of it and unless it's hidden deep inside the treaty I also can't seem to find any

Because being split between France and the Netherlands is a conflict of slightly different magnitude than being split between Russia and Europe. And I don't think that if you talk with Belgians many will agree that their model is in an

From what I've understood half geographically (which is indeed the majority of the population) wants to actually join the EU and the other half mostly just wants the corruption to stop. Is that not correct?

The EU was ready to have Ukraine go through another one of their lengthy entry processes where over a period of years requirements are progressively put in place to enable joining the EU. The current protests erupted when one of the first s

The main problem isn't that the US & EU care too much. It's that they don't care nearly enough. Russia cared enough to provide several billion dollar relief loans and a 30% discount on gas prices to cancel the negotiation

I have one tip for you: grovel. I've found that people don't respond unless they know that you really, really, really care. That's why most of my support emails include lines like "We're here to support you in any w

Apparently blaming other people (in my case for 'not pulling their weight') is actually one of the clinical symptoms of (upcoming) burnout.

The most relatable way I've found to describe it as that after burning out it takes 100% of your current effort to achieve 10% of your previous output. That's ignoring the random bouts of crying for no particular reason and things

Until not that long ago we had similar 'non-enforcement in practice' for small amounts of XTC pills and under a gram of cocaine. In general Dutch policy is/was about allowing and educating towards responsible use which means

I really can't figure out why a comment like this might be in negative downvote territory. It articulated a personal perspective (such a farce,) properly scoped it (men who can't cooperate ,) referenced personal observation (team

I don't think either of us is capable of making definitive statements on the harm of women-only education programs, so I'll stay out of that. I do believe however that it's completely and utterly impossible to improve gender

The thing is though that she is in a very rare, privileged position. She liked her community, fit in well, felt protected and cared for, wasn't troubled by the gender ratio and all in all was just happy with her situation. For a very l

It's about using the existing infrastructure of the web (HTTP, hyperlinks), leveraging it as much as you can (caching, content negotiation, etc.) and putting as little shit on top of it as you can (please no SOAP!) If you actually mean
