It should be common knowledge that you can’t just bring prescribed medication into a foreign country. There is even plenty of OTC medication you can’t bring into some countries.

Heck, in many places you can’t even bring fruits, meat, or dairy. Not doing your due diligence before traveling is on the person traveling.

I don’t think she deserves to be in prison for that and I would assume if relations with Russia at the time were better she would have just been denied entry/fined.

But breaking the law is still entirely on her and returning such a high profile prisoner in exchange for her mistake stings.

Kids being able to openly participate on porn sites would be a feast for pedophiles and groomers. We already have enough trouble with that on social media and dating sites/apps. And while in an ideal situation there just wouldn’t be bad people, sometimes we need to protect people from themselves because of others.

So while I am open for a discussion about lowering the age requirement, I still firmly believe a minimum age is required. But whether that’s 14, 16, or 18 I don’t know.

I am in favor of stricter age verification for certain content. Not only for porn but also dating apps, social media, online shops, etc. But the current methods of age verification are a privacy nightmare and go well beyond what is reasonable. Especially since companies can’t be trusted to not do bad stuff with that information.

What is necessary is a double anonymity age verification service. Ideally run by a company that by law is required to be very transparent. That way we don’t have to provide personal information to companies that have no actual need for it but can still reduce the amount of minors getting into places they shouldn’t be.

Yes, it won’t be perfect, yes there will always be bad actors, but it will still do more good than harm.

I personally am open for a discussion about reducing the minimum age to view porn. I don’t have strong feelings either way.

I almost exclusively use wired headphones. Only time I use the Bluetooth is when going the gym.

I don’t feel like the cable is inconvenient at all. But there are advantages in the two things I care. Better audio quality and no battery to worry about. So I prefer the wired one and use my headphone jack almost daily.

YouTube doesn’t have a say in this, it’s up to the copyright holder of each individual song. YouTube just detects if a song is copyrighted or not then gives the owner the option what to do. The three common ones are

• Disable the Video.
• Claim Monetization of it.
• Do nothing.

So whoever holds the rights to Phil Collins song is the one responsible for your video being disabled. While whoever holds the rights to the song Joe Schmo decided to go with option 2 or 3.

This process has mostly been automated. So it feels like YouTube is doing it but they are just following the orders of the copyright holder.

The system is a bit overzealous in some cases and even fair use gets flagged.That’s on YouTube. But to be fair, it’s very hard to have an automated system detect the difference between fair use and not. YouTube should just implement a better way to dispute false copyright claims.

You fail to understand the roots of that hatred of landlords. The people aren’t really upsets at the individual landlord but the system that allows private landlords to exist. They want to change that system.

Op is being fucked because of someone else with no fault of their own. If private landlords wouldn’t exist, OP wouldn’t be fucked. And OPs landlord wouldn’t have to fuck someone over because they are in a bad situation.

So this has little to do with entitlement and with not wanting to be fucked over by someone else for no fault by your own.

I can only assume but the first few pictures where probably coerced and after wards she was threatened to send more or he would release them. That definitely counts as forced. She was only 11 and this thing went on for 3 years. It’s definitely not just “look what you made me do”.

You can force someone to do something without being physically present.

No, that alone doesn’t break any employment or tax laws in most countries. You just have to declare it properly and pay your taxes. And the employer has to follow local employment laws as if it were a local company. But that just means following the maximum allowed working hours, mandatory holidays, minimum wage, etc.

China is one of the few countries that might have an issue with people working for foreign companies in general.

That kind of punishment is used all the time in the USA. It’s criminal and/or civil forfeiture depending on the circumstances. But just as in the case in China it’s mostly applied on people who can’t fight back. Big mega corporation are mostly safe from it. But occasionally it hits rich people.

Civil forfeiture is even heavily abused in the USA because the police department gets to keep the seized money and the burden of proof is shifted. The person who’s assets have been seized needs to provide proof of their innocence.

It’s ridiculous how the crime of using the VPN is just a 200 yuan fine. But the income is considered illegal because of it and they can just seize his entire salary earned, which amounted to just over 1 million yuan.

I am not really sure what you mean with their settlement. If you just mean the existence of Israel, then yes it’s fine to support that. If you are talking about their actual settlement policies, then no. I don’t think supporting a system of displacing people you deem “inferior” or “unwanted” to make room for “superior” people should be supported.

How to feel about the military response to the attacks is purely a personal choice. A fight against terrorists is never clean. And whether or not the amount of “collateral damages” is acceptable is up to you. I personally think that the attack by Hamas were extreme enough to warrent the response by the IDF. I don’t think you can expect someone to just turn the other cheek in this scenario. But I totally understand people who say any amount of civilian casualties is too much.

I think you bit off more than you can chew. Your puppy is causing you a lot of stress and having to deal with a sick dog on top of that is just a lot for a single person. Dogs require a lot of time and attention and your current living situation just doesn’t allow for that.

I would highly recommend you look for someone to take care of at least one of your dogs for a while. And you should even strongly consider giving up your 4 month old golden retriever while there is still enough time to properly train it. Rehoming it now is probably the best for it.

Knowing I had to look out for something spotting the IPS was easy. Don’t know if it would have been as obvious without knowing something is wrong. But I receive so many fake parcel emails (at least at one of my email addresses) that checking the website/app rather than klicking a link is the default option. And I usually add the email adress of the legitimate shops to my contacts so I can easily filter out emails from new e-mail addresses and ignore them.

The big issue with removing the headphones jack is just that it’s now impossible to use wired headphones while charging the phone.

For a lot of people that doesn’t matter but for some of us that’s a big deal. If they added a second USB-C port that would fix the issue.

But saying the 3.5 jack is legacy technology is also kinda wrong. A USB headset is not inherently better. You have to compare the digital audio converter that’s used. While USB headphones use their own dac, the jack uses the dac of the phone. So a cheap phone with high quality USB headphones will be better but a high quality phone with cheap USB headphones would be worse than using the jack.

Which even means jacks would be more sustainable because you only need one dac per phone rather than one per headphone.

And any form of wireless headphones are just inferior to wired connections.

Any decent payment processing service should come with enough tools to get you what you want. There aren’t many that are open source but a quick Google came up with results so they do exist.

They will allow you to track all of your active subscribers/donors and should allow you easy access to that data. Calculating and assigning voting power with that information should be rather easy.

I am slightly annoyed that they didn’t use the Starfarers of Catan as the base for this game. Would have made more sense.

But I suppose Starfarers just isn’t as popular so that’s why I am only slightly annoyed.

Considering how many people live near the coast it would still be a huge step forward. Right now even for most coastal cities desalination isn’t cost effective and they have to import water from inland.

And by not having to deliver as much water from inland to the coast that water can be distributed more for people living inland.

Yes, it’s not going to make inhospitable areas liveable but it’s not just “cool”.

That definitely seems like a case where a consultation with an employment lawyer is necessary. The non-compete is super broad and vaguely defined making it potentially unenforcable. They didn’t even define what a “reasonable amount of time” is. It could just be 1-2 months. And if you were forced to sign it then and there or lose your job, that opens up even more possibilities to have this thrown out.

But local laws on non-competes vary a lot making any advice from the internet pointless. You might also have to take some actions rather soon after signing it or it will stick. So spending $200 on a short consultation could pay off in the long run. If you shop around for a bit you might even find a free consultation.

Limiting the carry on weight I can understand. The overhead compartment can only hold a certain amount of weight. So a limit has to exist.

And there is the danger of luggage falling on people during an emergency or even just when opening the compartment. And while 7kg hurts, more weight hurts more and even will get dangerous.
