But… Why? Why would some Disney muckety muck buy a ton of live lemmings and shove them off a cliff, and put it in a movie?

When assessing whether consent is freely given, utmost account shall be taken of whether, inter alia, the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is conditional on consent to the processing of personal data that is not necessary for the performance of that contract.

Are we assuming personal data includes anything uploaded to the cloud? Like the .svg files? Because that is likely not personal data, at least it’s not all personal data by default.

Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable living individual (data subject). Different pieces of information, which together can lead to the identification of a particular person, may also be considered personal data.

So I would think what details are associated with one’s account, and what sort of encryption and control of the .SVG files plays a part.

As for what you can do if you think your rights under GDPR haven’t been respected, you can boycott them or file a complaint or file a legal action.

IMO, unless you could show your data specifically was mismanaged and exposed to someone who should not have had it, I would be skeptical of the success of any lawsuit. Obligatory, not a lawyer.

Can you be more specific about what in their TOS violates GDPR? They say they’ve had a policy written to align with GDPR since 2018. And simply being cloud-based is not a non-compliance.

Kinda shitty to force use of their software, but not a GDPR non-compliance.

My friend is a bladesmith and could make a beautiful damascus steel guillotine blade.

Some people need accommodations at work. Like a nursing parent needs space for pumping and a fridge to keep the milk. Accessible bathrooms for people with mobility issues. I work near someone who has an umbrella looking thing over her workstation because the fluorescent lights give her migraines. Some need time flexibility to address medical issues, or perhaps the medical issues of child or aging parent.

All these would require having some sort of conversation with your employer. During a job interview is not the time to do it. You need to check with your country and local laws to know your employee rights. You want to ask for accommodations in such a way that doesn’t put you at risk of getting fired or never hired to begin with.

Why the ever-loving eff would you talk about this during a job interview?

Is this a recent diagnosis? You need to slow way down and educate yourself on the condition and your employment rights. And I don’t mean by asking people on internet forums. Get real resources recommended by the doctor who gave you the diagnosis.

Varies person by person. Some I’m not particularly interested in, some seem satisfied with a head nod. I don’t force it.

I do have neighbors I ask to water plants. Usually, I ask a neighbor if I can pay their 8-12 year old kid to do it. Lots of parents like the opportunity for their preteens to own some responsibility. I’m also among the neighbors that goes out after a snow to clear off walkways and cars for the elderly neighbors; that contact tells me which other neighbors are into the local community.

I’ve been in one super tight knit neighborhood where we did actual community things. Like I setup a little outdoor movie night in the common lawn and hosted a popcorn melodrama. I had the projector, audio, and movie. A couple other parents brought tons of popcorn. Everyone brought chairs and blankets to sit on. The kiddos had a riot eating it and throwing it at the villain on screen. That condo neighborhood is the gold standard I hold in my mind and compare all others I’ve lived in to.

We’re smashing the invisible fairies that otherwise might whisk away talented people.

You need height if you want to build a structure with a large area and not a ton of internal columns for support.

US, similar to others, I had to ask permission and it was always granted.

I can recall once I ran to the bathroom for an emergency without permission. My teacher checked in with me later and discretely to make sure I was ok. Most of my teachers over the years were reasonable people who saw their students as human beings, so I wasn’t worried about getting into trouble.

There was a student in my class one year who had to get an escort if he needed to go anywhere during class because he had a history of doing dangerous things. He tried running away, he wandered into a janitor closet and started randomly mixing chemicals together, he went into the teacher lounge and started eating their lunches, he went into the girls locker room and was found rifling through their gym bags. So yeah, from simple liability and the protection of other students, he wasn’t allowed to leave the classroom whenever he asked.

Yes, to both ends.

My family hosted a student in my grade and we went to high school together. The exchange program did her so dirty. She was told students got placed in cities and thought she would be where she would be able to go into NYC on the weekends. She ended up on our farm, an hour and a half from what could only be called a small city if being generous, at least two flights from NYC, and eight hours by car to an actual large city.

I studied abroad for a semester in college and moved out of my host family’s and into my own apartment quickly for many reasons.

Anna Kendrick’s recent movie Woman of the Hour had a situation like that. Turns out, based on a real story when a victim of the Dating Game Killer tricked him into a situation in which she could escape.

Fascinating. Are you in the US?

I could not have avoided knowing about it. Even if I were to stay off the internet completely, it has been a major conversation topic in real life with friends and family. My work has BCBS health insurance coverage so when they were dropping coverage for anesthesia, all casual conversations at work with colleagues were about it too. I couldn’t have avoided it if I actively tried.

Yes. Same as when you asked two weeks ago.

I’d bet a dollar it was a comment on the disparate impact of climate change on women and people of color, using Bangladeshi women being statistically less likely to know how to swim as an example. But sure, climate change is racist because Bangladeshi women can’t swim, that’s a much more juicy soundbite.

Stealing = the act of taking feloniously the personal property of another without his consent and knowledge

There is nothing felonious or illegal here. The universities signed on to deals for government funding and the money comes with strings.

Allowing contact is the compromise position and harm reduction strategy. Hard line would be to cut religious zealot parents out entirely. If you think they would stop at splashing water on a baby, I have a bridge to sell you.

I don’t have kids (yet, maybe never) but my mom has made it clear she will get them baptized against my wishes one way or another. Then she’s surprised when I remind her she won’t be allowed to be alone with them. My dad has been wishy washy enough I told him I don’t trust him not to fold to mom’s wishes so he’s under the same rules, and he just nodded and acknowledged that’s fair.

A lifetime of setting boundaries makes me jaded but prepared.

TBH, I don’t know much about him and read the first few paragraphs of his Wikipedia page. It says while born in New Jersey, he grew up in Turkey under Erdogan, then back to the US to study poli sci. Seems like growing up under a democracy sliding back into authoritarianism would be relevant experience. Your description of him as a “nepo baby” seems quite incomplete and makes me wonder if your perception of him is charged by emotion rather than fact.

Is this a “no true Scotsman” thing where only poor people with a blue collar work history are worthy of being listened to?
