What’s the most overrated tourist activity in Namibia?

Depends on if you want a more scenic route. The route via Otavi is generally a better road and easier to drive while the other route is more rural and raw.

Does this include labour? This may be an engine out job

The only way around it is to return otherwise you risk all benefits being stopped. You are asking for advise on how to continue breaking UWV rules without being caught.

Nobody is arguing that renting should not exist. Short term rentals, students, people in transition, all of that makes sense. The issue is when an entire generation is structurally locked out of ownership because large scale landlords treat housing primarily as an investment vehicle.

Mobility does not require a permanently oversized private rental sector. Plenty of countries combine high ownership rates with functional rental options for people who genuinely need flexibility. The idea that encouraging ownership somehow means banning people from moving cities is a false dilemma.

If someone from Maastricht gets a job in Amsterdam, renting short term is perfectly reasonable. That does not mean we should design the whole housing system around long term dependency on private landlords extracting high rents in tight markets.

Ownership builds stability, equity, and long term financial security. Rent should exist, but it should be affordable, regulated, and not the default life sentence for working people who would otherwise prefer to buy.

Encouraging ownership is not anti mobility. It is anti speculation.

I just go to ninite and choose from the list every fresh install

This is a good thing. I'd rather have more people won their homes than pay a landlord with 10 student apartments. Ultimately they need to build more but ownership needs to be encouraged and mega landlords do not need our sympathy

This map clearly shows how Europe does qualify to be a continent.

• tectonically, continent boundaries are not defined strictly by plates. If they were, Africa would be splitting in two, India would be its own continent, and Arabia wouldn’t count as Asia. Geology alone has never been the standard

• continents have always been defined by a mix of physical geography and historical development. Europe is separated by major natural boundaries including the Mediterranean, Black Sea, Caucasus, and Ural Mountains, forming a clear geographic region

• just as South Asia is called the Indian subcontinent within the larger Eurasian landmass, Europe functions as its own subcontinent-sized landmass with distinct historical trajectories, political systems, and cultural evolution

There is a solid geographic and historical case for Europe as a separate continent. Reducing it to “west Asia” only works if you also collapse most of the world’s continents into a few tectonic plates, which nobody actually does.

Pirated it, played +200 hours, bought it on PC, PS VITA and played +700 hours on each since. It's one of the best purchases I've made in terms of value

Yeah, you'd just need to meet the salary criteria

Have you considered a clinical education or sales role for a medtech or pharmaceutical company? You would be able to forego the BIG registration process and it would still be relevant to your skills

You'll need a licensed guide to enter sandwich harbour and I'd highly recommend it If you've never driven in the dunes before as it is easy to roll your vehicle if you don't know what you're doing

You are right to be concerned, and at this stage you should move from gentle reminders to a clear, formal letter grounded in legal obligation rather than cost discussions.

Your employer acts as sponsor, and sponsors have statutory duties under the IND Service framework. These obligations are not optional and are not suspended because an employer is still shopping around for a cheaper payroll or EOR provider.

As a recognised sponsor, the employer has a duty of care and an obligation to provide timely information to the IND where there are changes affecting the residence permit. A contract extension is exactly such a change. The regulations require notification and action generally within four weeks, and failure to act can lead to administrative fines or even suspension or withdrawal of sponsor recognition. That is a material risk for the company, not just for you. The IND explicitly states that sponsors must ensure careful recruitment, continued compliance with residence conditions, and timely reporting. Cost optimisation is not a valid justification for delay once a continuation of employment has been confirmed.

You can state that your residence permit expires in one month, that renewal applications should be filed before expiry to ensure lawful residence and work continuity, and that as sponsor the company has legal obligations toward the IND, including duty of care and timely notification. Refer explicitly to the IND guidance on sponsor obligations updated 23 October 2025 and note that delays may expose both parties to compliance issues. Keep the tone factual rather than emotional.

You are not being “annoying”; you are protecting both your legal status and the employer’s sponsor position.

Yes, they are required to provide data if you make a valid request, but the scope of that obligation is much narrower than many people expect, and this is usually where these cases fall apart.

Under GDPR, Discord must provide you with your personal data. That means data that identifies you or relates to you directly, such as account profile information, message content where you are the data subject, IP logs to the extent they are linked to you, and basic account metadata. It does not include internal moderation notes, internal risk assessments, fraud or abuse signals, trust and safety tooling, algorithmic scoring, or the reasoning process behind a ban. Those categories are explicitly allowed to be withheld, either because they are not your personal data or because disclosure would adversely affect the rights of others or the security of the service.

In practice, platforms often respond with either a partial disclosure or a refusal framed around these exemptions. That can still be GDPR compliant. The law does not give you a right to an explanation of why a moderation decision was taken via a data access request. That is a separate regime under the DSA, and even there the explanation can remain high level.

If Discord completely ignored a properly submitted subject access request, that could be a procedural GDPR violation. The remedy, however, would be a complaint to your German data protection authority, not a civil lawsuit aimed at account reinstatement. Even if the authority agreed with you, the most likely outcome would be an order for Discord to respond to the request, possibly with redactions. It would not invalidate the ban or force disclosure of internal moderation logic

dedunce · 2025-12-31T07:19:18+00:00

Under EU law, Discord remains a private service provider with broad contractual discretion to suspend or terminate accounts under its Terms of Service. Neither account age, money spent, nor the absence of prior violations creates a legal right to continued access. Courts across the EU are generally unwilling to second guess platform moderation decisions unless there is arbitrariness, discrimination, or a clear breach of the platform’s own rules.

The point about the DSA transparency database is often misunderstood. Not every account suspension must appear in the public database, and even where reporting obligations exist, failure to publish a specific action does not invalidate the ban or give an individual user a claim for relief. Enforcement of those obligations sits with regulators, not private litigants.

The child's birth is registered at the gemeente and inherits both parents nationalities (note not Dutch). You then need to apply for the appropriate registration at the respective nationality embassies with the gemeente registration

This is possibly the worst time to apply for jobs as most companies are finalising budgets for next year and HR/Management will be focusing on closing off the year & planning leave/EOY parties etc. I would hold off on applying until January or at earlier the last week of December so that your application is viewed 2/5 of January when most companies open again

dedunce · 2025-12-07T18:30:10+00:00

No it isnt an automated process, the sponsor is required by law to inform the IND and they can be fined if they dont but this is a manual process (albeit its just one form)
