You chose your username here and in most other places. You can even change it easily on many platforms. Your username doesn't require you to show your ID and have your calls tapped and traced towards your person.

Do you want me to continue?

pictograms, pictograms, pictograms, gu gu ga ga.

also, this is going to make your address reputation plummet, if you enjoy convincing (often in exchange for a 30$+ commission) 100+ different blacklist operators that you're not a spammer please use this tool

The "digital plaza" ownership and total control on one's own community is a literal 2.99 euro/month VPS running mastodon away.

Shitposting one's thoughts by arranging pixels on a public forum is NOT a necessity, it's a luxury. If you value it as a necessity consider funding your own for yourself and others you care about, it would end up costing about 7 euro/year if you find even just 4 other like-minded persons.

If there's a community that's going to hunt you down until they find the info they need in your ultraspecific, obscure, niche blog, it's metalheads.

Open a quick forum and work on it, build SEO articles, ask people to share articles on other pages, and grow your community double the one you had on FB instead of despairing and worrying about stupid upvotes. Best of luck

This faked nostalgia is becoming irritating.

Websites which were like that didn't last long, and mostly were hosted on free webservers.

If you want to get rid of nostalgia please spend 60 whole minutes making sense of HTML+PHP5.6+jQuery copy pasted code. And make it IE6 compatible. And use tables for layout. And don't use stackoverflow, caniuse, or an IDE. You'll soon understand how we reached the current state of things.

I wholeheartedly disagree with this defeatist attitude, which is supposed to magically lead to change more than actually planning and actioning chance itself.

Nowhere in life change happens without trauma. Get good at trauma and you'll get good at life.

I suggest to learn one's own limits through suffering and systematically repeated failure. It's the only way to build not only a map of current yourself, but also a trail towards your future self.

Time is ticking, memento mori, the beatings will continue until morale improves.

In EU companies have to appoint a medical expert that checks worker's health (for free) upon joining the company, and routinely (1-2 times a year, depends on country I guess). Edit: Could be something that only companies whose workers have to do physical labour ("blue collar" jerbs)

If you call in sick for more than three days you usually go through your own doctor, so that you get a certification that you're taking X days off in order to cure yourself

Finally some sources, thank you. Point b of chapter 2 seems to be the most interesting for this kind of discussion

2. Intelligent speed assistance shall meet the following minimum requirements:

(a)

it shall be possible for the driver to be made aware through the accelerator control, or through dedicated, appropriate and effective feedback, that the applicable speed limit is exceeded;

(b)

it shall be possible to switch off the system; information about the speed limit may still be provided, and intelligent speed assistance shall be in normal operation mode upon each activation of the vehicle master control switch;

(c)

the dedicated and appropriate feedback shall be based on speed limit information obtained through the observation of road signs and signals, based on infrastructure signals or electronic map data, or both, made available in-vehicle;

(d)

it shall not affect the possibility, for the drivers, of exceeding the system’s prompted vehicle speed;

(e)

its performance targets shall be set in order to avoid or minimise the error rate under real driving conditions.

I'm talking about CIA funds to get Italy out of the soviet area of influence (aka the Italian Economic Boom of the 50s), why would you pull the Roman Empire or the Renaissance out of your hat.
