Why do people brush their teeth first thing in the morning?

The way I'm used to it is: 1. Wake up 2. Breakfast 3. Brush teeth.

Having it as 1, 3, 2 doesn't make sense for me.

This website is wack:

"We detect that you are in one of the member countries of the UK/EU/EEA, which is now subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Unfortunately, a tracking-free version of our full website is currently unavailable in these countries. We are engaged on the issue and committed to looking at options that support our full range of digital offerings to this market

While we continue to identify technical compliance solutions that will allow all readers to experience our content, we are providing you with 10 articles that highlight the breadth and quality of our content. You are on this page because you disallowed the purposes listed in the “How we use your data” section of our Privacy Settings page."

I wasn't expecting the website to outright refuse me from accessing it after refusing to be tracked, and with such bullshit lingo too

Not sure about this particular site, but in my experience with sites that don’t have full time web developers on staff and only get a small percentage of their traffic from the UK/EU/EEA, complying is simply cost prohibitive since it will require a significant development budget without much payback, so by law, they are forced to block access to their site in affected countries.

How does it take too much work to just not spy on people? Or at least not spy on people in the EU, which the site already can detect so it shouldn't be a problem. In fact, it would probably be less work than making the site not work for such people.

I think you missed on the most important driving factor, money.

I mean the thing is they already built the site. If they were building the site from scratch today then you would be correct.

You're not wrong. I'm on my phone but if you can, please provide another source. Tbh I've just got the cookie modal blocked with ublock and the cookies autodelete
