I mean depends where you are. If you know how to use Maps and spot tourist traps you'll be fine.

If you are skilled with Google Maps you can find lots and lots of good restaurants in Italy.

Yelp in Italy doesn't really exist, no one in Italy uses that. TheFork is okay for the deals that they have, like coupon etc. but to be fair I would not recommend that for tourists since you'll be missing out lots of nice restaurants since on TheFork there are just a few of them.

also because you cannot even create an account on Fig nowadays since the signups are currently disabled

To be fair I don't like the commercial banking system but having all the banking system centralised like that is so much worse. At least the commercial bank system is in some way decentralised.

Also CDBCs are programmable, Programmable money is a dangerous tool in my opinion. The State could thoroughly control everything you could do with money (e.g. carbon allowances, money that expires etc.), money would literally become vouchers controlled by the government. Pure dystopia.

The main problem is that the European Parliament can't write new laws. There's no way to directly elect members that write laws. In every democratic country, you do.

In my opinion, the EU to be really democratic, the Parliament, that we elect directly, should be able to have the same "right of initiative" (i.e. write laws, not just to approve them) as the Commission/Council.

Is a "dollar" tangible? It's just a number on a paper.

I really think that banning and blocking Russian people is counterproductive. You just create more division and you don't really gain much. You create more hate against the west and you give the rulers an excuse for what they're doing (You see? The west hates you, they don't even want you to play tennis etc.).

Where have you seen that?

Yes, but when I was younger, everyone that I knew, even digital illiterate people, paid that fee. Why? Because WhatsApp was (and is) everywhere.

It should be something like: tcheek-sent-me-hal-yee in english

I don't but sometimes I enjoy listening to Radio Reloj. It's so unique.

Science is a method, it's not religion. You can't really "believe" in science. You can trust its methods though.

Yep, so well that after Gaddafi came 7 years of civil war and now the country is fucked. Too many people died with the result that now Libya is destroyed.

From my experience, the ex Eastern Bloc countries. I am speaking about all the STEM fields, not just SWE. I remember that my mom (Romanian) was shocked when I told her that in my CS high school class (in Italy) we were all boys.

Versatile and eager to learn, graduating soon from University. I want to find a new place where I can truly express my skills. I'm mostly interested in backend and mobile development (especially Android), but full-stack development is fine too.
