@em_umoh@TayfunGemici3@FalkTG It was the type of low IQ brainwashing that nobody falls for, yet increases your perception towards psyops.
Sort of like a vaccine for the mind.
@curly_mov@MolesGod@re1hera Now they aren't, which is why in just 30-something years they've already surpassed Spain.
But he remembers them as shitholes, which was imposed on them by communism.
@Kajetan05749012@re1hera Spain beats all of them (except for Slovenia) for a quick holiday but is literally more dysfunctional than pretty much any country on the list I can think of. I haven't been in Albania recently, but I beleive they're doing better.
@PaulSkallas P.S. I hear a lot of people say that the magic of Christmas is gone once you grow up.
Just start doing the Orthodox lent.
Having meat and dairy for the first time in 40 days absolutely makes the day magical.
@chaotichermes Probably accurate if by right you mean "hates foreigners".

@AlexRaduMiron@ObservatorulOcc Bulgaria has beautiful coasts and nature but they're being controlled by ex-KGB mobsters.
If you think the service there is better, you're delusional.
Greeks see you as an annoyance when they're supposed to service you. Croatia is twice as expensive. You're allright
@visafreeworld Munich and Vienna - I'll only accept that level of taxation if I'm retired.
Tallinn - great in the right season, horrible offseason.
Istanbul - for some reason it's as expensive as Singapore now.
London is loads of fun for a week, too.
@WasBruba@nuance_enjoyer It's clearly not. I've never been able to make Claude or any other model talk like that, whereas Solomon has had the same speaking patterns since before ChatGPT was public.
@statsglobe Sad to see Bulgaria skipped, given their contributions towards Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory and Cow & Chicken (and all the local cartoons by Rumen Petkov).
@stats_feed How are Portugal and Austria safer than Singapore, lmao? Even Switzerland doesn't belong here. I'd assume Oman and the UAE were excluded due to recent events, but there's definitely countries in this top 10 I'd put below them.
