It's indeed a bit over-designed

that means also potentially stop selling their product in the country. Most big tech companies operate in open violation of GDPR and they are not held accountable only for political reasons. If the government has enough pressure to act, they might force Microsoft to bargain with a lot of leverage on the table. 1300 specialized jobs in Czech are no little business.

it's not the USA. You can't just do that. There are workers' protections against stuff like this.

but also in the USA there's a very strong tech worker movement. A book just came out to recount the story of the new wave. Look up Against The Oligarch

Most Italian women I know would have a panic attack if they went out with a tracksuit or a pajama like Americans do. That's stuff that only happens in nightmares and if you're 20 in a slum outside of Milan. Anyway Rome is not considered particularly fashionable in Italy. You find the highest attention for this stuff in most cities in the North, with Milan being the center of the fashion industry and smaller towns being more bougie, and then in the South with the "show off the bling bling" culture more common throughout the Mediterranean. In the North, the minimum is to dress like for a fashion show, in the South the minimum is to dress like for a wedding. In the center they care less.

True, but they are going to wear it with sneakers.

at the airport you also have higher chances to meet people from different countries and cultures with different standards for what is casual clothing. A fancy dress for an American is an outfit to go at the grocery store for an Italian or a French

lol, what are you even talking about? The tech sector is seeing a surge of organizing throughout the world and has plenty of unions, some even decades old. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unionization_in_the_tech_sector#Romania

US society and politics descend from native tribes, not from Europe

Because it's a normal, common interaction among humans, not particularly charged politically if there's no power relationship between the two people. This guy is not asking for nudes to an intern, for instance.

Public exhibition of sexual desire is acceptable in most contexts. If there's a topic of sexism, it is in the fact that men doing this is more acceptable than women doing it, but this should be addressed by removing the stigma from women doing it rather than adding stigma to men doing it.

But more generally, the policing of celebrities personal behavior to conform to strong social mores is a mostly protestant thing. In other cultures, especially before modernity or globalization, fame allowed you exactly to escape the commonplace social mores because you were outside of the community. Taking celebrities as role models and therefore asking them for moral behavior is a very American thing to do, even though after WW2 this system has been pushed throughout the world.

Pathetic maybe, but being pathetic is still not wrong. Creepy I wouldn't say so. Creepy implies an indirectness and second motives: here he's being very direct and his motives are clear.

I don't ask for nudes, because I have no particular interest in nudes and I prefer when they are sent spontaneously. But I deliberately post horny memes on main, where I have professional contacts, to fight against cringe culture and sex-negativity.

what is the threshold for that is culturally subjective. In many contexts, asking for nudes on social media is a normal thing to do.
