The mere awareness of stuff happening around in the office is enough to prevent me from focusing on anything. At home, the main source of distraction is the endless queue of undone household chores all around me. Over half of my committed c

Another popular bot, Mudae, allows the user to use both prefixed commands and slash commands, and the latter can take a few seconds to go through. Not acceptable when you have to fire ten or more commands at once in under half a minute.

Someone dumps their garbage on your front yard. You hop in your car, follow them and find out that they're running a large-scale illegal garbage dumping business. You call the cops and report both crimes. Are you a "vigilante&quot

I can play that courtroom drama game, too! Right to restriction of processing is not right to restriction of storage. Trying to re-register with your banned e-mail address is consent to processing and subsequent refusal to serve the person.
