I dont think you have to feel Bad about this at all. Companies do this to you the other way round if the want a specific candidate and that one doesn't accept then they offer it to the next person often taking quite some time.

That is less a dick move and more how job search is now.

    Even the majority supporting it quickly goes away though if you tell them that they wouldn't join with their previously privileged status

    It isn't white supremacist though. It might have the side effect that things closer to the equator are smaller but its main function is that it preserves angles and is/was used for navigation.

    All maps/projections from 3D onto 2D surfaces have drawbacks.

    Its usage as the UN map is the only potentially questionable thing but I assume it was used die to its prominence in navigation?

    So the drawback of that law is that it is not explicitly/automatically enforced. One has to bring it up with the authorities themselves basically. So if you don't notice somebody taking a picture and/or distributing it. Nothing happens automatically.

    That is a law in Germany. You have the right to your image, be it photographic or video graphic. There are some exceptions like being in a crowd (i.e. unrecognisable).

    That means if a newspaper has you in it. They must remove you or make you unrecognisable. And if somebody is taking a video or picture of you, they have to delete it if you ask and are technically not allowed to do so in the first place.

    And believe me Germans do make use of that right.

    Everyone is ignorant in some way though, you cannot know it all.

    The full story is that before the Battle of Marathon, Pheidippides ran around 240 km to Sparta to ask for aid in the upcoming battle and then back to bring their message. He then fought a probably exhaustive battle and then ran to Athens (if I am not mistaken) to tell them of the victory, adding ~ 42 km more.

    So in total he ran around 524 km. Not sure in what time exactly, but I assume he wasn't tardy. Then he died of exhaustion.

    By the way, the run to Sparta is, since a few RAF officers did it after WW2, now also a race and your name gets put on a slab of rock somewhere.

    Even if this were true, would that be important nowadays? If it can push out climate change and make it into a problem to solve later (in case of fission). Fusion would be great though
