Given that we are talking about a website, what is the worst legal enforceable thing you could agree to in this way? Things like “rights to your first born” are illegal and unenforceable. “you must visit the site everyday from now on” is un

You generally don't need a consent for gathering data that is required to run the site. But if you use the data for analytics purposes, you do need the users' consent for that, even if it's the same data that you use for oper

If you are based in EU you could try to go the legal way and demand the decision about your account is not taken purely by an algorithm (there is a GDPR clause like that). I don't know how enforceable it is, but I guess it is worth a t

Holiday pay is full pay. Parental leave is usually not. Parental leaves start rather high (100% or 90%) and then go slowly down (to 60% or 50%)

I don't complain that I have to use adblock. I only complain if someone tries to make it an ethical/moral issue, that I use one. I also understand that was not your point in your comment, I am not trying to strawman you :)

I would look for some local hackerspaces. They usually come with a space for electronics, and at least where I live (tho space is not so premium here), you get a key to access the space whenever, if you are a member. Alternatively, you migh

Funnily enough, "accept tracking or pay subscription" is very much illegal under GDPR. Lack of consent to tracking may not alter functionality of the site. In other words, service providers are not allowed to discriminate against

In Europe the GDPR states that businesses have a single calendar month to respond to you, either with the data, how to easily get them, or a damn good reason why they couldn't comply in time. It happened to me once that a business hasn

What do you mean if doctors were good they would allow ten times as many people to become doctors? That's not how it works. The process of becoming a doctor is much more formalised than you seem to insinuate and mostly does not depend

I would agree with you a week ago and I would have been so wrong. West has tried dialogue so many times, postponing sanctions to the point of absurdity. And what did it get us? Putin invading Ukraine. Putin relied on the risk-averse West, p

If they can build it, they still do not have the demand for that much extra gas, probably just little. The Chinese government is despicably authoritarian, but unlike Putin, they are not crazy and they are playing it long-term. They won'

Probably, but this would hurt Russia immensely. Currently there is not much infrastructure to support delivery of that much more gas to China, so it would need to be built and that would probably take years. At the same time, it would hurt

The next is most likely Moldova, as it is not in NATO and has a large pro-Russian separatist movement, funded by Russia for the last 30 years.

While I agree that in Eastern Europe anti-EU often means pro-Russia, Poland is a more of an exception here. Poland still has a very negative aftertaste of Russia after WWII. But if anything, Eastern European countries will cling to NATO mor

It's completely irrelevant on who would be the nuclear war. A nuclear war will wipe out an absolutely humongous part of humanity. Even if you survive, you will be doing much much worse as essentially all supply chains will get broken.
