These are well known in general Czech population (I mean the fact they occured, not necessarily all the details), and it is not uncommmon to use the verb "to defenestrate" as a joke when talking about mounting some form of protest

For me its mostly projecting my own insecurities onto others. Being in a space where you are guaranteed a shared interest with others (places hobbies get practiced at, volunteering gigs) is a great way to aleviate the fear of rejection, loo

Its unclear if you are talking about yourself or making a general observation about people around you, but in case its the latter: I believe this to be very much subject to strong confirmation bias. You dont open up because you believe that

That sucks. I moved first, then started looking for a job, because I was afraid of this exact scenario. I am not Russian but I imagine that for Russians it is likely very difficult to immigrate into a western country without a job offer in

First time hearing the term 'private longevity'. Doesn't sound quite right to me. Sort of implies there is some kind of 'public longevity'. Wouldn't 'personal longevity' make (slightly) more sense? Ed

Just for the record, the original title was 'The real cause of depression is not what you think it is', or sth very close to that. I am happy to see it was changed.

I made it a principle to never click a title (or a thumbnail in case of e.g. youtube) that is intentionally this click-baity. If it's a topic I genuinely am interested in, I just look the information up somewhere else.

So I take it Lebanon doesnt operate on the strict islamic system of banking, that I thought was designed to prevent financial collapses like these? Or am I just wrong in assuming that said system is meant to be more robust?
