It is also a LOT easier to both post content and reach a lot of people via social media as opposed to doing both using your own website.

Once upon a time, in the long long ago, I could create content on my site and then automatically or semi-automatically share it on social media, where my social media followers would see it.

Tell us you don't know any old people without saying you don't know any old people.

I'm starting to believe that Joe Biden is exactly the president we need right now. Yes, he hesitates in speech sometimes. Yes, he's old. But in most of the world, age is actually respected. And most important to me, he has demonstrated actual character over the years. You can't fake that. Right wing jackoffs hate it when a leader shows character, and watching them make fools of themselves over Biden is an added benefit.

I think he's doing fine.

Maybe people don't want a huge corporation listening to every word they say in their own homes 24/7 ?

I'm a techie, but my wife is not, and she is even *more* insistent that we not have any live microphones in the house. It got to the point that she was about to veto our new TV purchase because it had Alexa "built-in", but we compromised by getting the TV but never connecting it to the internet. (OLED TVs that *don't* have Alexa or some other assistant built-in are hard to find)

And free to manufacturer and own nuclear weapons. It's none of your business what I do a long as it doesn't affect you.

So long as you demonstrate that you can keep them safe and secure, I'm less worried about you having a nuke than the US government having one. The US, after all, has actually flash-fried children with the things before.

As for mandatory vaccination, the SCOTUS found in Buck v. Bell -- and has never overturned -- that the same principle that justified mandatory vax also justifies forced eugenic sterilization. It's not just a theoretic "slippery slope", we already slid down it.
