A bit old, but still
Several evaluations suggest that policies that provide financial support to families or paid leave at the time of childbirth have a positive, but rather limited, impact in fertility. Of all the policies introduced over the years, provision of childcare services appears to be the most effective in encouraging families to have children and women to remain in the workforce.
French family policies provide a diversified system of supplementary resources in the form of money, time and services needed to raise children. The State provides support to diversified types of families with children at ages from early to late childhood. Another key ingredient has been the high stability of family policies, based on strong popular support. This stability gives confidence to families that they will benefit from continuous support from the birth of a child until entry into the school system and beyond. Such confidence creates a favourable environment for the decision to have children

I just had a look, that place looks amazing! Do you recommend for a week-trip, or is it too small?
Damn, very unlucky indeed
Seems great, thanks for the pictures!
I was in Lisbon a while back, very nice city. Interesting history (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1755_Lisbon_earthquake), nice architecture, good food (those bacalaos!) and cool vibe overall.
Definitely!

Could be interesting, but how would that work? People are going to have high requirements for the privacy of the poll
Which country are you flying from?
Experience in the EU:
Middle seats are usually “bad seats” as you are stuck between two people
Rich people don’t recycle because they don’t need the money
Definitely
Very good movie indeed
Ah, might be. My experience with Orthodox is limited to one wedding in Greece, people seemed a bit more religious indeed
Thanks for sharing! link to the article: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/15/greece-becomes-first-orthodox-christian-country-to-legalise-same-sex-marriage
Also, I’m a bit surprised it took them that long, does anybody know why Orthodox is harder on those matters than Catholic?
Very true. English speakers are sometimes taken aback, but it’s usually a way to show respect to the local language, and acknowledge that you are asking them a favor to speak a second language.
As a Belgian, I noticed that people usually get warmer when they learn I’m not French.
Hopefully the cliche will change over time.
Seems strange to have Italy and Spain here, the English proficiency is usually at the same levels than France.
Thank you @inlandempire@jlai.lu for organizing!
