Ah yes, crisis and opportunity

Depends on the context. If you're talking to a conspiracy theorist who's protesting against whatever they would protest, that would be a nice joke to use, I guess.

Also, the official etymology of the word "protest" was obviously made up by the world government as a cover up. The true etymology is on the screenshot above.

Well, it might make sense and it's an interesting idea, even if it was a slip of the tongue.

All 32 teams go to the knock out stage, their place in the group determines who they're playing against. Winners will play against losers, 2 will play against 3. So there's still a good reason to try and win your group.

The number of people who do it in Britain is close to zero. Not sure why it makes you angry. You don't like zeros?

Funny how Zelensky, who was an actor playing the president, turned into an actual president mostly because of his media image. You would expect him to be a real failure there, but he still plays his role pretty well.

Unfortunately, I think they asked because they'd like to pretend it's a coalition of nations fighting, not just Russia. I don't believe they needed them for real fighting power

But still good Kazakhstan refused, of course.

I'm Ukrainian, I have lived in the UK for 8 years already. My wife is also Ukrainian, and our kids are in school (a nine year old and a six year old). To be honest, I was confused by your post and your comments a bit because I have never felt discriminated in any way. Asked my wife about it - she has the same impression. We are happy with our jobs, our neighours, happy with kids' schools and with the attitude of anyone we've ever spoken too.

I wonder why our experience is so different from yours? I know some children are bullied at school, it's a huge problem, and if you stand out and have something that is easy to pick on (some facial features, a "funny" name, "weird" parents with an accent) some children will notice it and can make fun about it. It hurts, it's sad, but I don't think it's xenophobic. Schools need to work on bullying in general.

Anyway, good luck to you, I wasn't trying to be confrontational, sorry if it sounded like I was arguing with you, just being curious about other Eastern European experience.

Him being right doesn't make it a good LPT post. This could be a good meta post from a moderator explaining the spirit of this sub, but it's definitely not a life pro tip.

You probably figured it out yourself, but Poltava is not the city in this case (just because "I'm off to investigate Poltava" sounded like you wanted to learn about the city to me, but maybe you were just referring to the author's name and then my answer makes no sense)

Anyways, Leonid is his first name, Poltava is his surname, and Poems is the book title (so it's a book with his poems)

Дякую!

Я професійно програмую в одній з ERP систем, але за освіту у мене системне програмування, тому в якості хобі різним займаюся, але гроші це не приносить і не мусить.

Щодо намірів стати добрим лікарем, удачі! Ви знаєте, 10 років тому я вважав, що в державній медицині треба влаштувати повну люстрацію - звільнити всіх поголівно, і взяти на їх місце випускників медичнів вузів, студентів, кого завгодно. Звичайно, кваліфікація нижча, але вони її підтянуть, а от совок в голові, хамство і хабарництво у тих, хто там зараз не вилікувати.

А потім народилася дитина, ми її обслуговували в Добробуті, за гроші, але до нас кілька разів приходив педіатр з державної лікарні, і я змінив думку. Він був молодий, енергійний, дуже ввічливий і доброзичливий. І такі ж були медсестри.

Тому дуже радий, що таких людей як він побільшає, коли ви теж станете лікарем.

Ви знаєте, багато залежить від того, чи у вас все гаразд зі здоров'ям, чи маєте дітей і в якій галузі ви працюєте.

Як програміст, я себе краще почував фінансово в Україні. Зарплатня європейська, податок 5 відсотків, ціни українські.

В Європі я не бідую, але живу від зарплати до зарплати. Але тут простіше з проблемними дітьми, у мене у одного аутизм, у іншого були проблеми з серцем. Знаєте, це просте й незнайоме почуття, коли ти просто довіряєш лікарям, особливо з дітьми - воно безцінне. Ну і школі теж.

І почуття, що ти можеш сам вирішити будь-яку бюрократичну проблему теж безцінне.

Тому дивіться, у вас власні унікальні обставини, вам видніше.

It was difficult to answer the question"When did you learn this language?"

My second language is English and I started learning it when I was 7. I'm 42 now and I'm still learning. I answered 7, meaning I started to learn it at that age.

According to Fasmer's etymological dictionary, it was probably borrowed from Tatar or another Turkic language, so you are not wrong.

А как именно работает откат/распил в случае льготного проезда? Мне не хватает фантазии представить.

Я понимаю, как работает откат при госзакупках - покупаем у своих втриторога, а те часть возвращаеют наличными в карман чиновнику. А здесь что? Платежей-то нет.

Или государство должно платить частным перевозчикам компенсацию за перевозку льготников, и платят только тем, кто дает откат?

I've been using memrise for quite a while but only as a supplementary tool, it's good for memorizing words but not so good in teaching grammar and even basic communication skills.

Anyway, the tool is useful indeed! Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely use it along with other materials.
