Because diet fraudsters have insisted for years how we HAVE to eat 3-4 meals a day, at very specific time intervals, no matter what.
Meanwhile, I've been doing "intuitive eating" since forever. If I'm not hungry, I don't give a crap I missed their perfect 1PM dinner time.

Why is Awoo posting hamsters?

King... of trash.

@matrix
That was beautiful. Almost brought a tear to my eye.

Our former king died a few years ago. And we don't really have anyone particular left that the people would trust. We could try to go for a queen, but Margaret isn't loved nearly as much as Michael was.

In our villages, things don't work like in your cities. All residents in a village are friendly to some degree, indifferent of social status. People help each other all the time, and if someone gives you a gift as a thanks, refusing is beyond impolite. You'll have neighbors exchanging stuff, like baked good or whatever all the time. This is the social norm there, and the law needs to account for things like this. Otherwise, you might as well convict someone for giving the mayor a pen when he needs one.

@SystemSock @furgar
Sure, thing is the definition of "corruption" has spread way too much lately (in my country I mean), and you can run foul of the law with the most minor things, that no one in their right mind would try to imprison someone for.
We had a case where an old grandma was harassed and prosecuted because she gave a chicken to her local village mayor. It was considered "trafficking influence", aka corruption, and she was taken to the capital, to be questioned by prosecutes, and when she was finally let to go home, she didn't even have enough money to take a train back home, hundreds of kilometres away.

It's very easy to understand Romanian politics. Just take American politics and reverse the sides.

The complacent republicans that would mostly do the right thing, but aren't able to properly stand their ground or spread their message: that's our left wing.

The shitty democrats that spread lies to rile people up, that are very capable at spreading their message and manipulating via the media, and that constantly turn their back at those that voted for them: that's our right wing.

You think I'm some redneck trash?

@SystemSock @furgar
Well...
1) while it's true that our laws technically come after EU laws, that's true for any EU country. That's how the thing works, not a Romanian thing. (which is partly why UK wanted to Brexit, remember?)

2) Politicians at that time didn't want to pardon other politicians for corruption. This is a lie that was spread by the opposition at the time (opposition which is currently in power). Thing is what Americans call lobbying, here is called corruption, and you can go in jail for it. Problem is, there is no limit to how little you can steal from the state before you get jail time. You can literally defraud the state for an egg and be punished with years of imprisonment. At the time, our Constitutional Court recommended the legislators try to institute such a limit in law, as in, you only get jail time if you exceed a certain sum. Because of the protests of course, the law never passed.

There was also a separate issue, that sparked the protests in the picture, where, because the prisons are overcrowded, the government wanted to pardon prisoners convicted of non-violent crimes. The opposition came in with lies that the government would release thiefs, rapists, pedophiles and so on. But if anyone would have actually read the law, it was very clear that very few categories of crime would have actually been pardoned. Any type of crime that had anything to do with violence or sex would not be affected by the pardon. Once again, because of the protests, the law didn't pass, and our jails are so overcrowded, that we regularly pay fines to EU and the state gets sued regularly by ex-convicts and loses.

3) Nobody ever voted to impeach a prime minister. We voted to impeach the president. Also, not sure if Angela Merkel herself got involved, but at least here you got it partially correct, in that there was some European involvement, from José Manuel Barroso (that was President of European Council at the time), and involvement from USA ambassador at the time. Once again these interventions came because of lies of "3 million stolen votes" (that would be like a third of total votes cast) spread by the opposition of that time (once again, the same guys that are today in power).

Yes, there are indeed some crazy shit going in my country. Unfortunately, you've received and believed the propaganda side.
