    Camera apps nowadays “correct” for that and do mirror the image for preview

    Huh, I always thought people who post flipped photos are just technically challenged (and/or have really poor eye for detail to not notice it). Never considered someone doing that on purpose just to further their own delusion of what they look like.

    almost any editor in the world would have it changed to a scene where the snitch is suddenly blinged the fuck out.

    Because it would make for a more interesting story, even though that’s now how it works (fortunately).

    Snitching on your neighbor because he kinda looks like the guy should not be rewarded. Unless he’s convicted, he’s innocent. Only if proven guilty you can say the snitch helped and give them their reward. If the person is innocent then the snitch did nothing more than just waste everyone’s time.


  • as a joining condition is forced to adopt the Euro

    That doesn’t happen. The treaties can force a country to join the eurozone once they meet the convergence criteria. But the convergence criteria include being part of ERM II for at least 2 years. Participating in ERM II is not mandatory, so countries can simply choose not to, and thus never meet the criteria for adopting the Euro.

    For example, out of the six EU countries currently not in the eurozone, only one is participating in ERM II (Bulgaria).

    Edit: and there are always opt-outs too. Denmark for example opted out of the Eurozone.
