Why sign anything at all? The company was obviously not interested in cooperation, but in domination.

- gchamonlive 8mo agoExactly, thanks
- dwedge 8mo agoBeing impossible to read is not common
- magicalhippo 8mo agoGet a better browser I'd say. Firefox Reader mode makes short work of such sites, including the submission. I use it very often, so I can enjoy the content rather than get frustrated over styling issues.
- dwedge 8mo agoAh then I deserve it. I didn't notice from the app I was using that it wasn't all the way to the left

This is unfortunately one of those sites that renders a completely blank page unless you use reader mode, enable JS, or disable CSS. If it was a random JS error, well, that reminds me of: https://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/everyonehasjs.html https://www.kryogenix.org/code/browser/everyonehasjs.html

- vaylian 8mo agoIt's clear that the intentions of the insurance company are selfish and they want to gain leverage over the reporter. Even if the reporter managed to add a clause about data deletion, the company could still make the reporter's life hell with the remaining clauses that were signed. This is not worth the risk.
