Should UK be viewed as the most unfriendly country to the aged people? I often come across stories that give that impression - care homes, courts being the most prominent bad actors

Glushkov has build a unique PC too

When in doubt blame Putin

This is in Russian. Maybe there is English version

I'm not qualified in this, was told by a guy who is that the abuse is against WADA rules but wasn't prosecuted. For now I don't now, let's wait the wider discussion

But meldonium is exactly what you describe, it was in use since 80ties.

Anyone surprised that americans were given preferences?

Would Snowden agree with you?

VSCode is not an IDE just yet

Not to nitpick, but VSCode is not the same as Visual Studio

Not from MS, but a good IDE is MonoDevelop

>> It's pretty horrible. How did we get to this point?

Because ads... are more important to get right than other stuff /sarcasm

It's only a sticker for gays as it doesn't serve any purpose to them. They are pretty good being just in a partnership.

Usually in such a way that when the parents get older their children would care of them, isn't it?

It is an exception and was a source for many jokes and lots of drama in literature, wasn't it?

Does it make more sense to change Visa laws to allow more flexible relationships? Would you then not need to be 'married' and just use your partnership status?

So why didn't people go out, pick up some orphan kid and give him whatever needed to be 'inherited'?

That's the problem - your abstraction is leaking, whereas the man/woman/kids abstraction of the marriage is not.

So you talking about gay rights but at the same time you refuse billions of people who lived and live outside of Biblical views to have their own views on the subject?

So are you saying that millions (and now billions) of Chinese and Indians who never had Bible and were absolutely poor used marriage to pass inheritance along? Also there were thousands of tribes who never had to worry about inheritance but who have traditions for marriages, no?

Exactly right - this will count as a tragedy and there is lots of research aiming to help such people to have kids.

You confusing legal with cultural. If you go around taking about marriage only few will think about gay relationship.

And in any case there is simply no real value for gays to become 'married' other than getting a sticker.

So who is picking up one aspect of the complex relationship here? If I get together with an AI in the future you'll call it marriage too?

Is it a better way to use different terms for when people get together to have kids and continue the family and when they just 'want' each other?

Cultural means that everywhere where there is a similar culture the things will mean the same to people.

You can call computer a calculator since it does indeed 'calculate' stuff, but you'll be in a minority. Computer's got so much more than a simple calculator, same with marriages - it is much more for a man and woman in every country in the world.

It doesn't make sense to call gay partnership a marriage. Marriage is a strictly defined cultural phenomenon meaning a relationship between a man and a woman with the original intention to continue the family by having kids.

Don't you think that the whole 'democracy' model is flawed from the top to the bottom? If there were no good candidates offered to the public, how would the public choose a good one? And if a good one would somehow emerge, it is trivial to 'catch him' with a pack of heroin or being related to 'enemies', isn't it?

People think Facebook and other social networks help them run faster... except they run in the wrong direction.
