Some Europeans refer to girocards as "debit cards" and everything else incorrectly as "credit cards"

They might be talking about a girocard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girocard

It is a prevalent view among the lower socioeconomic classes.

Most people in the EU use debit cards , they additionally use direct debit specifically for utilities, gym memberships, etc.

If you're going to Paris? Sure, as long as the amounts are relatively small. Try paying with pre 2009 100USD bills in Africa lol. Even banks struggle with this https://meduza.io/en…

I suggest you go outside sometimes, you'll see that the real world looks rather different than whatever crypto-obsessed bubble you live in. I really don't think I need to explain t…

I'd argue that the poor capitalization was a core part of wildcat banking, that's not really the case here.

In the EU the answer is always "it's unclear". Yes you can, but you also can't. ECHR necessarily guarantees the right to shoot some intruders in some situations, but it's kind of i…

I'm fully European, would not wonder for a second before plunging a knife into an intruder if I happened to have one near me.

Surely you're not quoting Eric Raymond with a straight face?
