False, the Commission is an independent EU institution.

You are confusing the EU Council with the Council of the European Union. No head of state was involved in the discussion we are having today. By the way my personal opinion is that the confusing names are by design, to give the appearance t

The EU Council and the Council of the European Union are two different bodies. Macron sits in the EU Council and it has nothing to do with this.

How are we going to change it? They are simply going to pass a second-reading on a proposal to bring it back and use the same trick over and over again. All it takes is for one person to be "sick" at home for them to get it their

Literally the voice of the EU voters has been suppressed on this matter despite the Parliament (elected by them) voted twice on denying this full proposal. By any definition of the term, this is not a democracy and it's a technocracy a

The Council of the European Union - that pushed this forward - is composed of national ministers that are directly elected to the Council itself and are simply there because they are appointed as ministers under their own country's con

The Commission refused to withdraw the proposal after Parliament rejected it, leaving it on the table. The Council disagreed with Parliament’s rejection, formally forcing a second reading. Both the European Commission and the Council itself

The EU is a farce, an undemocratic virtue signaling organization, and this is why: - The Parliament voted against the first reading of this proposal twice in 2026, the first time they only supported limited cases for it, while the second ti

Function over form, or form over function? The endless debate. Not necessarily disagreeing with you but I understand the merits in cherishing “form” in a world that is - for the most part - devoid of beauty and taste.

They probably fear a domino effect if they let go of this. And so they defend it vehemently to avoid setting a precedent. Think about compositions, samples, performance rights, and so on. There is a lot more at stake.

MCP is simply an API protocol, like GraphQL or gRPC. And since everything is an API, Kong also supports MCP natively (among many other protocols, including all LLMs): https://konghq.com/blog/product-releases/securi

Actually the parent comment was wrong: You can physically cut off fuel without pulling the thrust lever to idle, because the two are separate controls. However, it’s against procedure to do so - even dangerous. Throttle should always be at

Tipping has lost its meaning and it is simply a money grab these days in many establishments, as your experience demonstrates. Like tipping for food to go. I only tip when I sit down and good service is actually provided.

To be fair this strategy will work if other countries cannot tolerate tariffs for long enough to come up with non-USD trade that is accepted by everyone. Which to be fair may take them a very long time. If they fold and remove tariffs on th

The EU didn’t give power to the US. The US took it after the European states got decimated after WWII. Power is not given, it’s taken.

Europe is both financially bankrupt and incompetent, with poor governance continuously hindered by the ambition of each country within the “union”. It will take decades at best for the EU to be competitive, assuming it won’t disintegrate be

That’s apparently where 200,000-250,000 Serbian refugees were expected to go after the war. But my point is that NATO is a military alliance, to call it “defensive” is just propaganda as it has shown it can be offensive too. And there is no
