True, but all new members sign an agreement that they will eventually join the eurozone. It’s not enforced and there is no pressure to do so, but on paper they agree to it.

That’s an EU regulation, not a corporate measure. And it has drastically decreased the amount of littered bottle caps, so a good thing.

It allows you to say goodbye with dignity while you are still sane. For example, if you get diagnosed with an aggressive and untreatable cancer, it allows you to say farewell to your loved ones before you become a husk of your former self simply waiting to die.

There are not many employers that allow that in my experience.

You pronounce it as “flet” because it’s a combination of f, L, t and E. And if you think that’s ridiculous, wait until you hear about the British Imperial system.
Pringles@sopuli.xyzto Europe@feddit.org•Tobacco companies are worried about a European-wide coordinated tax increase.English3·12 days agoWhere are you located? There are pills called Defumoxan which work so well I use them as an off switch. You can get them in Central Europe. I used to smoke for over 20 years and sometimes still give in, even after years of not having smoked. So then I smoke again for a month or 2 and then I order those pills and quit again within a week without any withdrawal symptoms.
My wife thinks I abuse it a bit, because I actually started planning weeks or months where I smoke, like you plan a vacation. She’s probably right, but I always enjoyed it and this way I don’t smoke 95% of the time.

We have blackbirds in our garden and I swear that I have seen the females shout at their lazy ass husband several times. They will tweet angrily, fly after them, hop after them, pull feathers from their tails and whatnot. True drama every time.

Pringles@sopuli.xyzto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x more likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of a population has ever failed3824·21 days agoThe cries for violence here are quite disgusting. I understand our American friends are frustrated, but violence is only going to get you killed. The police in the US have been receiving military gear for decades now. If you want violence, you will get it.
Then there are some major misconceptions about the 3.5% rule. That is for persistent non-violent protests. Week in, week out, for months at a time, before this yields results. Violent protests drive away many of the people you need on board to achieve genuine change and make it exponentially harder to get to your 3.5%. Try getting a grandma or a family with kids to join when molotov cocktails are being thrown around.
So for everyone here calling for violence, you are idiots and you won’t achieve a damn thing.
They were not a founding member and even had their application vetoed by France before joining a decade later, but still well before the creation of the euro.
