As I understand it, the English and Arabic channels are very different editorially, with the latter being rather controversial and biased to the Muslim Brotherhood^1^. The English channel even wrote about the division themselves^2^.

This is something, in addition to that censorship exists in the west/everywhere (and arguably is favourable in certain forms), that should be kept in mind regarding Aljazeera. I must honestly say, I did not read more upon this, so feel free to correct or specify.

Apart from all the other points made here, I always wonder why uniforms have to look like there has been no development in clothing/fashion for the last 100+ years? Why do they have to look like they are extras on a Harry Potter filmset?

It is not the most elegant of sources, but it gives some explanation and cases. It also looks like it mostly effects second-home owners and tourists who have overstayed the 90-day period. In general, if applied for a residency, and lived in the EU for a while there is a small chance of being kicked out. Local conditions may apply, like a certain income in Spain.

People are stating as if it is the same issue, while I made a point in everything past the first sentence why it might not be a valid comparison. Also, people are not making comparisons, they just drop words along the lines of "x company also does that".

Ps. I don't hate Apple (I have been using their stuff most of my digital life), I just don't cult around a behemoth of a company pretending they have my best interests.

They should revise it and give it a rainbow horn or manes

Although I agree sentimentally, I would believe that if they leave there is an even smaller chance for them to dig themselves out of this semi-dictatorship.

Da jeg kom til Norge syntes jeg at Brunost gjorde vondt på tungen (likt som, sur eller noe), men da jeg ble vant med det ble det bedre. Nå spiser jeg stort sett plante basert, så jeg trenger ikke å like det lenger :P

Det var også veldig rar å se at alle ostene var en kubus. Det virket som det ikke er ekte ost.
