When the EU law says you are due 600€ for missing a flight, that also means you are due only 600€ for missing a flight, no matter what. Doesn't matter if you missed out on the job of a lifetime, or if you weren't present for your father's last breath. It's so disingenuous how they craft a narrative of citizens/consumers first, but in end effect, the only ones who have the ear of von der Leyen and the rest of the EC are the lobbyists. Metsola is the head of the EP and she's the biggest corporate stooge to ever walk this planet.

At what step do you struggle the most?

I have not used an IDE since I ditched Turbo Pascal in middle school, but now I am at a place where everyone and their mother uses VS Code and so I'm giving it a shot.

The thing is, I'm finding the "just works" mantra is not true at all. Nothing is working out of the box. And then for each separate extension I have to figure out how to fix it. Or I just give up and circumvent it by using the terminal.

What's even the point then?

IDK maybe its a matter of getting used to something new, but I was doing fine with just vim and tmux.

Maybe it was a baby monitor?

I think the west made up a narrative about postwar Germany and that narrative is now being exposed.

Immigrant who lives in Germany here. This post is a bunch of lies. On this topic there are a lot of politically motivated astroturfers who take over whole comment sections to push their false narratives.

I wanted to be a game programmer. 15 years on, I haven't touched a video game in over a decade, and I find them pretty boring.

OK, but all of this is only relevant if you believe Biden in his current state is able to win against Trump. The people who want Biden out believe that Biden stands no chance.

OK, I come from southern Europe and this will blow some people's minds, but sometimes we have bland food on purpose. Especially after a week of eating grease/spicy foods.

American Catholicism might as well be a new Protestant sect. Catholicism does not really work like this. And the last three points don't really fit in with Catholic social teaching. I think the article should make clear that this "Catholicism" is really a subset of American Catholics and nothing more. Nothing to do with the Vatican, the Pope, and the Catholics in Europe, Latin America and elsewhere. Also, generally the Church supported liberal political parties especially when the alternative was socialist/communist, so to say that Catholicism is against liberalism is incorrect.

Sorry, but you're not going to get von der Leyen and Metsola to "tax the rich".

Plus, I don't trust any of those people to tax the real rich, but I could easily see them levy a new tax on us.

A classmate said that they collaborated on a project on JFK's assassination and he was obsessed with the topic. I think he just wanted the infamy. Also it is pretty clear to me at this point that there was no strong political motive. He left no manifesto and did not even have any extensive political history on his devices.

Forgive the FoxNews link but this video is the best I found: https://www.foxnews.com/video/6358301112112

The moment I installed it, yay broke. To fix it, if any of you need this: do an ln -s to the .so that is being requested. This allows yay to work again. Use yay to upgrade yay. Finally remove the symbolic link.

This sounds about right. If you look at the rise of authoritarian parties in Europe you will see numbers sitting between 25% and 35% too. I have a feeling that this might just be an innate personality trait that people are born with. Some people are more submissive and prefer strong leaders, even at the cost of personal liberties. I mean, we already witness this in other aspects of life.

That is literally exactly what is happening. MtF transwomen are considered men by haters and hence get the male treatment of crass jokes and lack of support.
