turned on coal/oil…

Despite the internet's insistence to the contrary, Germany has not increased its power production from fossil fuels.
It is in fact at the lowest level of the past 30 years

The discussed nothing less than the deportation of immigrants, German citizens with a generational immigration background and for good measure also adding German citizens not agreeing to that.

Also politicians they don't like

at the moment every single counrty must agree to a decision

The EU treaties have already changed, so that many decisions can be made by qualified majority.
Unanimity is only still required in certain fields:

You typically don’t get “ownership rights” when you purchase a game on Steam. You’ll typically be purchasing a licence to play the game, which could be taken away at any point.

That is certainly what Valve thinks and writes in their TOS but if their store has a big button that says "BUY HALO" then courts may very well decide that you actually bought Halo.
And many countries have a strict legal definition of what buying means that cannot be overruled by some company's TOS.

This is explicitly against their TOS. Whether or not you’ll be found out is a whole other matter

Also whether or not those TOS are legally enforceable in every single country Valve operates in.

I mean, it seems they want to focus on the outcome not the reason so the title is pretty much on point.

One of the best jokes to come out of the UN in a long time.

The ICC is not a UN organization

You can be a trained retail worker in a few hours in most cases.

So the job doesn't require any skill but still needs training?
And all retail workers are equally good, there is no skill difference that makes some better at the job than others?

Ah, I see.
You meant he didn't die immediately from touching it.
I misread that.

mercury is only toxic when ingested

Doesn't it give off toxic vapors?
