#12Now that's a way to learn about a country I did not know much about. Great impression in my mind! Sounds too good to be true though. Any true experiences here in HN?

#13This is pretty and all, but it just seems like an opportunistic ad by the tourist board of Transylvania.
If freedom of movement between the UK and the rest of Europe is lost by Brexiting, and they're still willing to accept Brits then I'll be impressed.

#14This site is pretty broken on latest stable Chrome on Android. As soon as I start scrolling I see solid white or grey blocks. Sometimes, at certain scroll heights, I see some text. But mostly I can't actually read the content.
It's worse with Firefox. Scrolling is much less smooth but at least I can read a little more text (instead of Chrome I used Opera.)

#15"Surprisingly high quality of life" Nope (i'm from Romania). I like the "presentation" overall but some things are stretched to the limit there :)
Surprisingly high quality of life among the circles that young urban professionals are likely to interact with ;)
EDIT for context: in eastern Europe, there is a significant urban-rural divide in living standards. Definitely not on the level of Rio de Janeiro vs. favelas or Johannesburg vs. Soweto, but more on the level of an upmarket US suburb vs. rural Appalachia.

Care to elaborate on where this website is inaccurate?

#17That's odd. First they try to close borders to migrants, and now they welcome migrants?
How is that supposed to work?

#18This is really cool and well done. I'm unhappy with the stats they chose though.
I thought that 20x less robberies seemed unlikely so I clicked their source. They were using the absolute number of robberies not per capita. The way they used it is sneakiness bordering on outright lies. This kind of bad-faith abuse of stats always irritates me.

#19Let's break down the modern, flashy PR move and check some reality:
LGBT rights in Romania (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_Romania) - Decriminalized in 1996 - Gender identity: change of legal sex allowed since 1996 - Discrimination protections: protections since 2000 (still don't national ones in the U.S.) - No marriage - No civil unions - Adoption HAAAHAHAAH cmon be serious
LGBT rights in the UK (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_rights_in_the_United_King...) - Decriminalized in the 60s - 80s, way before 1996 - Gender identity: change of legal sex allowed since 2005, way after Romania - Discrimination protections: protections since 2010, way after Romania - Civil unions in 2005 - Marriage in 2014 - Adoption since 2005 / 2013
