I don't think the question was "what is Macedonia" but more like "please explain why this matters to you".

No, I don't see how you think it's opposite. Macedonia is a name for a large area. FYROM/Northern Macedonia is being used to name a country that takes up only part of this area. Similarly, the Americas are two continents, and USA is being used to name a country that takes up only part of this area. Neither the USA nor FYROM are granted any claim to the rest of their nominal superset.

Greece probably shouldn't have elected an anti-nationalist governing party then.

Yea, it's as silly as a country claiming to be the "United States of America" when lol, Canada and Mexico and all of South America would like a word...

Wow, 10% of unsolicited requests are worth looking at? That seems remarkably high.

I flew from Geneva to London City Airport the other day. Check in closed 45 minutes before the flight, and it's so convoluted to get through the airport that after checking in right at the deadline, I had a brisk walk through the airport for 30 minutes to arrive halfway through boarding. I would not want to arrive any later, and anyone who didn't want to rely on short lines at security moving fast would be well off to arrive at least an hour before takeoff.

Unfortunately I've seen people much more eager to adopt a bad idea that is easier in the short term than a good idea that involves hard or boring work - like "should we refactoring and build on our existing code or throw it out and start again?", where people vote for throwing it out because "I don't even understand this code!"

Most women I know wouldn't go there - including myself. Maybe we run in different circles.

I think it's a pretty normal shorthand, especially when readers can see for themselves that you aren't quoting them.

You may be trying to make a point, but you're not succeeding. A sarcastic guess: robbing banks makes money, and having a job makes money so having a job is logically equivalent to robbing banks and therefore being employed is bad.

FUCK yes. Kids cost money. Jobs are how you get money. And I say this as someone who hired a woman who then told us she would give birth in two months, and we were fine.

People already discriminate against young women based just on the risk they could get pregnant, doesn't seem like it'd be that bad to spread it across to young men as well.

Having a family without marrying is not illegal, though.

What do you want people to do when they are job searching while pregnant? Are you just wishing you'd been told on her first day on the job?

I definitely could have afforded to quit, but I kept on believing that I could fix it and I just had to explain things to the right people...eventually my manager delivered me a glowing written performance review while telling me in person that he wanted to put me on a PIP, and asked if I wanted to transfer to another team. Total mindfuck. If I hadn't had a solid reputation through the company and with her management chain already I'm sure he would have tried to fire me.
