Dark patterns? It's a business that makes money (and damn good money, at that) off their users. What did you expect from a free service? 
Solution: don't use Gmail. No, really.

Google knows about me that I'm a 73 year old woman living with my 14 children in the outskirts of Paraburdoo WA, but strangely have a PO Box in Sydney CBD, and another PO box in the 'burbs of Melbourne where I ship my items to.

Once again, I made the mistake of taking a look-see (at the round 2 semi-finals).
Generally execrable videos (compared to previous years), pastel music ... with few exceptions, all too derivative from American soul music, and pop-tunes. Still, nice to see lovely young people having a high time.
I fell in love with Leonora, the young chanteuse from Denmark, in spite of the song.
My musical favorite was the Latvian entry. My visuals favorite was the live sand-painting in the Moldavia entry.

But that was only in a comment (and one of three guesses) and therefore out of competition.
Surprised about that you know my name.

What do all of you have with tomato sauces? 10 days ago we had Maunder Catchup[^].
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

There are many of these.
For example, the Mitsubishi 4x4 sold in the UK as the "Shogun" is known in much of the world as the "Pajero" - which in Spanish means a man who plays with himself a lot ... 
I had a Shogun - but my neighbour had a Japanese import Pajero and he was, rather.

Globalization isn't always easy...
Earlier this year Microsoft changed an image of a woman with a green hat because the green hat apparently indicated prostitution in China or some such.
And then there's the aspirin package that had three images, the first was a man with a headache, in the second picture he took a pill and in the third picture he was happy again.
They shipped to Asia and the Middle East, but didn't sell very well...
Those countries read from right to left

Just like in the case of the green-hat image in China, some people think every other ethnic group made of idiots...
So Chinese people can't spot the difference between an insult and a innocent image, and Cree are so stupid that think Heinz deliberately insulting them...
