Amazing! I've been trying to find great resources for USD for a long time, this is hands-off the best tutorial I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing.

And you're a fascist too. Nevermind what happens when child support is grossly negligently miscalculated (if calculated at all) or if an abusive mother is always preferred to a loving father. Wikipedia knows best (page cannot be edited).
because most people are morons. The same who advocate that males and females are completely 'equal'. They are not. And you can rage all you want, there are and there will always be evolutionary differences. Deal with it, idiots. Discriminating != pretending differences don't exist.

Finally some good sense. Do you live in Italy by any chance? You didn't write the usual bullsh1t like "italy has a good social security net / good and free healthcare / you live well with few money" so I'd be surprised if you were a foreigner.

Author is writing a lot of crap because every sane employer asks for where you're living and verifies it (either by bank accounts / asking for domicile paperwork / etc) to pay you a good-enough amount for that country.

FAANG companies hiring people in Italy do the same. If you can find a stupid employer who'll pay you a San Francisco salary to live in Souther Italy, then good for you, but that's _rare_.

The 'robust safety net' that you think is in place in Italy is a poor-people subsidy which is currently being discussed because totally abused by a lot of users (and it's becoming unsustainable for Italy's devastated economic situation). So the only good thing the author did is fleeing this ticking bomb.

Yeah well two more points that the author followed but actually didn't realize:

4. Flee Italy, the most corrupt of 1st world countries 5. Do not even attempt at reproducing in a healthy family in first world countries ESPECIALLY IN ITALY (https://interessesuperioredelminore.wordpress.com/2020/11/01...). It's a russian roulette pointed to your head and whatever you do, it's out of your control if your life will be completely ruined for corruption.

By keeping these additional two rules in mind, you can live a decent life, albeit a quite meaningless one if you, like me, was born with the idea that forming a happy family is the best thing you can do within your lifetime. Drop that pal, it's no longer the right period of time (if it ever has been).

'just go with prenups' is m00t if corrupt magistrates are involved. And most of them in the first world are corrupt. For money.

The endless quest for a great notes-taking tool

What I've been wanting for a long time for my tech notes:- taking notes easily, preferably markdown (love its simplicity and I seem to remember it pretty well, maybe from stackoverflow's training) - must be available everywhere, I don't want to sync folders over dropbox or stuff like that across my computers, tablets and phones... it should be hosted maybe on AWS and be available as soon as I...

No axe, I'm just tired of people (mis)reading titles and being done with it.

Every single point is verifiable actually. Take a look at the sentences on https://www.altalex.com/ (Italian knowledge required). You'll find that this is no 'partial' report, it's just stating the reality and trying to find a logical reason other than "the judges are just racist against men", which of course sounds a bit silly.

This basically means you didn't even read it, good job.
Re:A divorce in Italy destroyed my researcher career on Tuesday November 03, 2020 @01:29PM (#24982475)
Unjustified flagging. This is NO misogynist article: there is A CLEAR reason why judges are biased towards mothers (I'm speaking for Italy) and this has NOTHING TO DO WITH GENDER. Read it all before flagging (unless you're an italian magistrate, in that case I definitely know why you did it).
