The explanation is wrong though. The employer pays you a fraction of the value your labor produces for them. Being enjoyable or not has nothing to do with it. You'd get paid for doing a valuable thing you could enjoy doing the same way nobody is going to pay you for doing something you don't enjoy that has no value for anyone.
Because most first-world ubermensch spend filling and productive days doing menial tasks for a living wage. I'm surprised how prejudicial and borderline racist comments like this are upvoted here.
Vegans and vegetarians live without consuming meat. There's plenty of plant substitutes for the nutrients we get from meat (nuts, mushrooms, soy and so on).
> In fact, "Balkans" in particular is an extremely ambiguous linguistic term and can mean so many different things to so many people.
Not really, Balkan countries are well-defined and have been so for over a century now. It's basically European countries that were under the Ottoman Empire:
Greece, Albania, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia. One could also throw Slovenia in there but historically speaking, they have always been pretty different from other Balkan-folk.
The right to free speech protects you from being persecuted by the government. Patreon and any other private company reserve the right to choose their customers (and workers) based on what they say. This has always been the case. There are countless examples, even in the past, where companies have fired employees for saying things they shouldn't have.
They give many (all?) alternatives. It's up to the writer to pick the word they want and usually inexperienced writers will pick a complicated word that makes them seem clever.
> Open Source software, which can be verified by everyone.
What makes you think that the open source software you verified is the software actually loaded on the machine you are using to vote. What about the software on the machine that counts the votes?
> Voting via an app with authentication as good as or through your bank account.
What about voter secrecy? Logging in and then voting defeats the purpose of voting.
> After Voting, We should be able to query and verify who our vote is with - on a particular day of counting, and get whole history of our votes. An individual persons vote is append only.
If you can query to find your vote then anyone else can. Do you want everyone to know who you voted for?
