That is the reason why identification documents are needed. How can they hire people without knowing who they are?

If you use a strong password and 2fa, there's no way to prevent login attempts, and a strong enough authentication will make random login attempts just a nuicance. You can set up a recovery address (that must be equally safe). If you are using an online password manager, check there was no known leak

Open source software in general is getting incredibly complex. While big companies mopolized the software industry at the end of the century, now the most widely used technologies are completely open source (kvm, linux, docker, apache, ssh, c++, rust), which means that everyone has access to it and can use it for personal or light commercial use without too much cost and hassle. Sure, companies still monopolize, but only because they offer hardware and services at a big scale, if you want to have an indipendent space on the internet, this would be the perfect time

(Assuming you are using your smartphone) check your battery saving options. Sometimea battery saving for the entire phone or for the clock app can make it less "respondent" to times

That's right. They are not glorified as being enlightened or particularly great at things in general. Those figures are idolized because of the power they managed to obtain and their skill in military tactis and strategy.

Apparrently the kursk region has been heavily fortified since the very beginning of the war. So either are not as effective in building defense, or they sent all the defending troopa to be massacred where ukraine was attacking before (russian controlled territories)

Man, you are focusing too much on single examples, I am talking about an entire industry.

I am talking about most porn, which is, coincidentally, hetero "mainstream" porn (because most people are hetero and because the most mainstream porn is of the abusive type), but only because that's how it is in general.

Also my main point was about money being the main reason behind porn, and that applies to video games, erotica and non-abusive pornographic materials.

Do you watch porn? Porn is monetized sex with the purpose of getting money, and with a high degree of abuse and exploitation might I add. You and I and any law don't get to define the purpose of anything, we only decide wether something is allowed or not. If you want to sell your body for money you should have the freedom to do so, protected by labor laws and health assistance. This is a very good way to reduce the spreading of diseases and reduce the power of exploitative criminals

As much as I don't like such advanced weapons capable of killing hundreds or thousands in a single blow, they are used in the "appropriate" way and are so much better than cluster munitions that leave behind deadly unexploded granades

I know that Russia metodically tried to eradicate any language and accent that is not Muscovite russian. But I guess it's difficult to remove every small bit of accent
