“By mistake”? This was absolutely criminal. And since this is a very small town (<1000), knowing the kind of people who live in small towns, I could very well believe this is a case of “fuck everybody else”
If you don’t have the legal expertise or the time to read a contract you hire a lawyer to have him see if the contract is reasonable, or you don’t sign it.
Then don’t use the services. I wouldn’t sign a contract without reading it. “Your honour, I had no time to read the contract, therefore it’s void” seems a bad excuse.
The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.
Spaniard here and I confirm. TV always on even at a low volume is a given no matter the circumstances. I think we’d all feel weird if that background noise wasn’t there. I’ve always imagined it’s the same everywhere in the world, but perhaps I’m wrong.
What is SimilarWeb and how do they know that? Because I have a hunch that they are pulling the numbers out of their asses just so they are mentioned in articles from shitty blogs like this one.
How did you interpret “immature” as “not smart enough”? A baby is not mature, which doesn’t mean he won’t grow up. “Immaturity” means that there’s room for improvement and that that improvement is attainable.
What I mean to say is that this issue stems from your misunderstanding of the meaning of the word “mature” and nothing else.
