Yes, it's very much like blogger.com, but older. What we have on 'our loca internet' is a few community hubs, one of them is a general one for all kinds of freelancers where they c…

These blog systems hosted by the news sites do not have FTP access, there is a simplistic web interface that you use to publish articles and set up categories/tags. There are "free…

Yelling "fire" or "help" without any danger in a public place is illegal in Europe.

In my country there is at least 10x political blogs than technical ones. They're using local simplistic blog platforms (usually hosted by news sites) that let you have your own thi…

> LGBTQIAA2S+ Not sure if you're mocking the LGBT group or what? Is that a real thing now? Googling it gives me only a (seemingly) mocking Urban Dictionary entry.

I had that happen to me while doing the same (trying to get my girlfriend off insurance she didn't want). I said I am ill and that was it, I had to know her 'birth number' though (…

That's because the country loosened the restrictions. It worked, and should've been kept. Sadly the leadership here is populist too, which worked at first (the popular thing in Eur…

Suppose that's true, how can people after they get training get so lucky they outperform even most software engineers with their earnings - consistently, for decades?

How come they deleted a group, then? They should've only banned the offending members. P.S. I fully agree with the removal.

Catholics and other religious groups do exactly that too, using 'god's wish' as their excuse.

These conspiracies are rampant in Europe too. Why didn't the stronger education system help here?

As if that wasn't already clear from the whole "die at your workplace" thing

You're taking a minor, very unusual issue that happens only to a subset of a subset of a subset of users and resolving it with regulation , while forgeting all the cases where Exce…

It does.

You can't force people to use a different tool that they don't want to use. They [(computational) biologists] know other tools pretty well, they don't want to use them. If you want…

I do not say that it's not happening. That does not mean we do not welcome the US, or that its actions here are comparable to the actions of the SU, or that the SU, a comparably mu…
