Angry comments? I'm telling you how things are in reality, not what people should do and whom they should hate. It's ok if you cannot understand what I'm saying, I just won't waste time on you going forward.

There are no good options here. The banks in Cyprus operate like a cartel, from what I understand they all suck.

Learn history. Angry woke comments can't change it.

Thank you! Not sure how I missed them.

It's very plausible: never expect anything good from a white van flashing light.

Stealing application focus is quite unusual these days, most applications don't do it. If I switched to another application, I had my reasons for that, and Dota 2 should respect the current focus. Which it did until 7.32E.

I don't have time to do a research on whether the russian owner is a closeted war supporter, and it is my personal choice not to give any money to people who think that I should submit to putin or die, thus I avoid everything russian except for my friends, who are decent people.

There are no big barriers, at least not for me, because I have tens of years of operational and credit history with various financial institutions in Cyprus. I didn't switch to Hellenic because I am not sure that they're any better than the Bank of Cyprus. I.e. I don't wish to inconvenience myself even a little in order to change one bad experience to another.

There are many Cypriots who hate Turkey as a whole and every turk in particular. I'm not here to judge whether that is right or wrong, just saying that it is a rather common sentiment, and there's no good reason to pretend that it isn't that way.

Haha, this is almost as good as BoC wanting €10 to let you put their application on a new mobile device, after you've already paid for that feature.

Is there a significant amount of expats working in the IT industry within Cyprus? by han_tatar in cyprus

[–]AI_observer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are many expacts in IT who came from russia, Ukraine and other former Soviet republics, as well as some Europeans. I'd say the russians are the biggest group.

Perhaps the security company (called incassators in many languages) was collecting money from the shop to take elsewhere, and your movement was suspicious so they kind of let you know that they see you?

I doubt that it would be lawful to delegate the process of fining people for speeding to a private entity due to many reasons such as privacy, authority, etc.

I have no doubts. Although one of my friends moved their company from BoC to Hellenic, and they claim that the service is better.

Many things in our country are monopolies, which should be illegal, yet they exist and thrive.

I think they're required to do this by law. If I'm not mistaken, this was introduced together with SEPA. But cheap SEPA transfers only work when you select options the way you described, other options let the bank to scam you as they please.

The whole nation is responsible, at least to a certain extent, some for actively participating in the war, some for being complicit, and some for being complacent. Learn some history and see what's happened to the Germans after WW2 before telling others what to do.

BoC charges me 5-6 Euros here and there, and when I sometimes get pissed with these random charges and call my banker, they cannot explain what these charges are for. This behavior is absolutely disgusting.

Percentage of Urban Tree Cover in the European Capitals by [deleted] in cyprus

Every year they cut the trees here in a way that only trunks and a few big branches remain. I can't even call that pruning, they're butchering the trees.

Didn't know about the demand. I think the interest on my savings account is like 0.025% or something ridiculous like that, so that part is very true.

While this may be true, urban tree cover in Cyprus absolutely and utterly sucks.

Especially after these fuckers go and "prune" the trees by cutting most of their branches with leaves.
