The 2034 world cup going to held in Saudi and well that's exciting.

The EU was founded primarily to entangle Europe so deeply that it would be too difficult to create war within Europe. I believe it originally began as a way for France and Germany to separate steel and coal to make it harder to rearm without cooperation. I know Brexit sort of ruined that, but Britain still embeds it self deeply in European security. People say that Merkel made the mistake of liberalising trade with Putin, but her calculus was of Clinton-ism - an open economy is a more peaceful one. Why was she wrong when it has worked before. People would argue China. Except while they’d rhetoric is hostile, they favour global stability becuase of how entrenched they are in the global economy.

For anyone familiar with the European diplomacy, is there any likelihood that Belarus can be calved off from the Russian sphere of influence?

I believe that they are under almost all the same sanctions that Russia is under; are there people thinking about how they could be brought into the European community, either with promises of aid, or easing sanctions, etc? Offering Lushenko immunity from any prosecution it her agrees to retire? Or are we just going to have to wait for him to die?

Curious if anyone has any insight into this; other than the fact that it is Putin's only ally in the region, I know next to nothing about the country.

I have recently remembered the movie "Me Before You" which ends with assisted suicide in Switzerland. I understand it as basically a "free-for-all" exit option for anyone who wants to, as far as they have quite a bit of cash to offer for this assistance.

I am interested in how it works not just on paper in law in the other countries in Europe where it is at all possible. Citizenship status, price, how much of a process it is to convince the doctors etc.

Purely bit of morbid curiosity, mostly interested in hearing experiences with it beyond the basics google is gonna throw at me - of course not expecting first hand experience, but if you knew someone who decided to go for this option how was the process?

Or are you satisfied with it?

I bought it at one of the smoke shops or cannabis stores. Its one of those loop hole vapes but i think its THC-JD but i dont have the packaging. It looks like a weed vape. Im a tourist, can i legally bring it on a plane? I know i can with the cbd vapes but this is thc jd and its more in a grey area. Claude ai said this thc jd is more risky but i dont have the box just the vape.

So any frequent travelers that can tell me whats up?

What do you think would be considerably different if Switzerland's population said yes to joining the EEC in 1992 and then would have subsequently joined the EU in 1995 together with Austria, Finland, and Sweden?

American here and I feel like the average American between coffee, water, etc. probably averages a solid one gallon (almost 4 liters) per day total.

I go to Europe a lot and it seems like 4-8 oz in the morning with a coffee, maybe a tea or water with lunch only 7-8 oz, then maybe again at like 3pm, then with dinner, maybeeee again later. So like maybe a liter a day. That seems accuracy and so woefully low. It seems so odd to me.

Am I wrong? How much y’all drinking? And I purposely say liquid because I know you ain’t American girlies drinking from their 40 oz Stanley mugs.

For me it is the music of our neighbours like Greek, Bulgarian, Armenian and Iranian (I know not European)

Do you like to play? My family in Germany says that they only see rich and corporate people play.

I haven't drunk yet but I will soon.

Did you know that?

I remember back in “elementary” school local firefighters or police officers visiting the school. Is this just an American thing?

I'm a Kiwi for those interested. Rugby is the biggest thing here but cricket is a solid second (I pefer baseball but I'm a werido)

Do you face discrimination ? Do you have your own local parties ? Have you considered immigrating to a different country because of any discrimination ? Thanks a lot.

Hi!

So, in Argentina, a few years back, there was a pretty big scam that got approximately 16.000 or 1/5 of the population of a mid size town here (San Pedro, pop: 70.000) involved in a pyramid scheme. It mixed crypto, an Asian run scam operation and even Polish actors acting as fake antrepeneurs. Things were wild (also, it affected even more people in Argentina but San Pedro was the singlemost affected area).

So, with crypto being quite popular and there being lots of scams surrounding it, have there been any big cases in your country or noteworthy ones?

Hello,

My question is about trust to the state and people. Let me give examples.

- How do people in your country approach new projects in your country ? Positively or sceptically ?

- Do people trust local brands and products ?

- Do people view the society in your country positively…etc

These are just simple questions to explain the question better.

For Turkey, all of these answers are generally negative. We have a low trust society overall.

Thank you for your answers.
