  Crust on top is not the distinguishing feature between pies and tarts. Tarts often have top crusts. The only consistent difference is the angle and sturdiness of the sides - tarts have vertical (or nearly), sturdy sides, pies have angled sides that are less sturdy.

  Excellent points, but the cookie banners were a response to the ePrivacy Directive, not GDPR. In fact the banners predate GDPR by about a decade! I know this because I decided to make my own banner that was slightly less annoying about five years before GDPR was a thing.

  Funnily enough most of your points are still correct precisely because, as you say, “most people wholly equate GDPR with the cookie banners”.

  There are a lot of ‘mini’ roundabouts in my country that are fully flat to the ground. The point is to set the rules for right of way, entering and exiting, indication etc in a way people find familiar (we have lots of roundabouts). Just one roundabout sign at each entrance with standard road markings and everyone knows what’s up.

  I seem to completely misunderstand the dynamic.

  As I see it, you have paid $700k for the house with the bank’s money (in this thread there is no deposit), bought back some of the house from the bank with $50k of your own money and then lost the house so you’re out $50k with no house.

  If the bank does pay out some of the value of the house to you based on equity, it’s just going to be a smaller amount than $50k since the value of the house is lower and part of your repayment went to interest so you don’t even get $50k worth of equity. This feels like a worse position to me.

  I can see making some clans like nosferatu or malk part of some dlc as they have so much unique stuff and presumably require a lot of extra development. I don’t imagine that is applicable to toreador though. Also no day one dlc please. If it’s ready at launch, if should be in the base game
