How does Mercurial show it? I always found it very confusing to use all the times I tried it so I would need some context to understand your comment.

We had this type of CAPTCHAs before we knew they are called CAPTCHAs.

Seems like they are afraid of robots.

Nice try, Mr Robot. :)

Romanian adopted the Latin alphabet in the 19th century and the spelling was intentionally based on Italian. So it's not a good representative for this particular argument — of course it spells it this way, because it was intentionally chosen to spell it this way by importing Italian spelling rules for these sounds.

0?

Modern. But beware, it's pretty dated. :)

Citation needed. How many exactly?

So? Plenty of former VScode users are on Sublime, Vim or Emacs now.

I really don't get your point.

I can't imagine a life with a MBP touchpad and a mouse, but no keyboard, though. /s

How so? The P. R. of "China" is the second/first economy (depending on the measure) and one of the worst offenders of human rights.

This is literally what developed countries have been doing, at least in the last 6-7 decades. And besides, Europe still is ‘covered by forests end-to-end’.

So not sure what your rant is about… Just speculating, but maybe in your opinion the rates should be increased?

We may as well do, but unless that actually happens, it's going to continue being just wishful thinking.

unless

What about “I hate the passively aggressive Muslims who give their best to impose Islam and Sharia law through funding/helping/volunteering in illegal mosques, illegal paramilitary organisations, semi-legal Muslim clubs and ‘foundations’ as well as illegal ‘schools’ in Europe where innocent children are taught to undermine Western values and the norms of the society that welcomed their parents and grandparents with open arms with the only expectation that they would gracefully accept its secular values with Christian roots instead of giving extra effort to form ghettoised microsocieties who openly express hatred against them?” – is this a more acceptable way to express it?

I won't disclose my personal views, but this is usually what people mean when they say that they hate Muslims, at least according to my experience after talking to them and trying to understand where the problem is. I am yet to see a single person who claims to hate nonpractising moderate Muslims who openly condemn everything listed above – but not only on words, while secretly admiring, liking or even having nothing against any parts of it.

Precisely! You prove my point. It was the German government and not the regular people in Germany. My "advice" applies to Germany and elsewhere equally as well. The point being, ΣΥΡΙΖΑ won with sweet words, but failed to act upon them, which is a pity. Don't think that just because Merkel gets reelected, everyone from the German nation stays behind all her government does. NO! And there was, is and will be a lot of criticism from the German people for things like this.

So, για όνομα του Θεού, don't fall into the trap the media tries to put us into (for whatever reasons, I don't care). This is not about Germans vs Greeks, it's about the consistently failing banking system around the world. Only when we realise the true nature of the problems at hand, can we deal with them.

Be well and prosperous!

... and all sane people in Germany condemned them for that.

BTW nobody spoke on the issues of other EU members, like e.g. Greece's northern neighbours Bulgaria and Romania where people live with less than the Greeks during the worst times of their crisis. And all this just because someone somewhere gave carte blanche to the Soviet Union to install pro-communist forces in countries of strategic interest to them where there was almost non-existant communist movement compared to Greece where the UK allegedly intervened so that this won't happen. Just for perspective: people lived comparably good/bad in all three countries before WW2.

As a German, you should know how economically devastated was the DDR after 1989. And bear in mind that it was the best player in the Eastern league of non-representativeness and corruption. (comparisons with the West are another topic altogether)

Small correction: "When the banks were Greek, Spanish, Portuguese or Irish, the Greek, Spanish, Portuguese and Irish governments didn't give a fuck about the people."

Since you appear to be from one of those countries, you should see how to get more responsible for your choices and look for better representatives to elect. I don't see what's your point about another sovereign country. Everyone has their own problems, let's just focus on ours.

BTW you would be surprised how pissed off were Germans at that time, because every sane person knows the old saying: "Bankers here, bankers there, all the same everywhere." So we (at least not the bigots among us) should be allowed to speak of regular people bearing the cost of such changes, shall they happen, just as we (and YOU) did it when the same thing happened in Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland.

Can't agree more with your last paragraph! Summed up pretty much everything I was trying to say above.

How about not assuming racism in the first place? It may just be that you are new and people are not accustomed to having you as a part of their group. I'm sure that even if some of them have prejudices, they will accept you as soon as you show them what you are made of and that you are trustworthy. I'm sure everyone knows at least one shhole from their race, so they can accept a decent person from another one when given the opportunity.

If despite your best efforts, nobody accepts you, and some even make openly racist remarks towards you, then you ring that bell.

Of course they are. Indians remain Indians no matter how successful they are. Same with Germans, Frenchmen, or Asian/African Americans, for that matter. They are still part of the respective minority, which is not something bad to begin with by the way…

I found it really shocking as well. Not sure how much of it is due to segregation and how much - due to the inability of the person to socialise… which is not uncommon among technical people from all races.

Being an ISIS fighter involves getting stuff for free, like… uhm, everything they need to survive, so not sure what they need to pay for. But thanks for the downvotes, guys. Thanks for understanding sarcasm properly. Thanks for being objective. ;)

Wut? I thought that "truth" was on their side. Why would they need salaries at all then!?

The main problem is the size of the French market alone, and the reluctance of French entrepreneurs to engage directly in the European market, not the banking sector. BTW this applies to all EU/EEA countries just as equally.

It actually brings them closer together. I don't see how it fosters hostility. Care to elaborate on that point?

Not exactly big either.

Please make it "European bashing". In my experience, it's the same almost everywhere on our continent and everyone thinks it's only in their country of origin.
