They aren't real snobs because they don't look down on you, it is in most cases not about you personally. They just think their culture is superior which sounds very arrogant but below that is just plain old narcasism. Also historically they're are from 'the cultured part of europe' and had to deal with the basic lowlife from England (have you eaten their food?), the Dutch (have you seen their clothes?) and the Germans (have you seen what their homes). It's like how the Romans looked at the Germanic tribes they just like superficial stuff like pretty food on pretty tables wearing pretty dresses. There are plenty of places people will treat you much worse and above all this is just a stereotype which is true on the one hand but there are a lot of different people living in France just like in any other country. Also they have crêpes.

Thanks wasn't sure, Europe had a buy 1 get 1 free because it made the euro unstable since not all countries fell equally hard after the "poof".

Was what you call the subprime mortgage crisis what happened in 2008 or so?

I didn't suggest anything and if you don't mind a company earning money with your data I'm not gonna stop you.

There is a lot of people who don't know that sites collect data even if you don't click any links. I like it when people make a well-informed decision and didn't know you were aware of that. You can overcome that by blocking trackers, hiding your IP and removing cookies after a visit. I'd much sooner getting tools to do that then declaring certain sites off-limits.

Might have something to do with the US not having the cards right now

If a former Western intelligence official says this, I assume current western intelligence officials also have proof. If that's true, European governments must have known this before Ukraine went public on this. It is quite likely they went public to pressure Western governments into pressuring the Chinese governments. Good news is China and EU are talking, but I do hope they are actually trying to get China to take their people home because if this escalates it might get ugly fast.

It might be valuable information and it's a good thing you care, but I think this is a case where the content is free because you are generating the profit. Not clicking links is definitely a big part of preventing them making money off you, but they might still collect data.

It is a bit sketchy when a website has a page with legal information but do not seem to be a registered company based on that. I think they just used some general text, but the last point in their privacy policy is the following:

Your use of this website and any dispute arising out of such use of the website is subject to the laws of Poland.

But since they make no mention of a company name, i cannot confirm they are actually from Poland.

Like anybody believes Trump when he says this is what he wanted. But I feel this is more Russia showing strength (or them trying to), especially since they seem to be sabotaging stuff for a while now, also according to the article.

I agree, but a spy chief saying something out loud is mainly a diplomatic message and not a secret plan.
