I mean, this "anonymity" is protection against regular people as long as you do nothing criminal. And I very much doubt Apple ever claimed more. If you want something more, you need Threema or the like. And even they are limited in what they can do. This is not a problem that technology can fully solve.

"The tool won't be used for evaluation purposes, but is designed to provide a better estimate of employee workloads."

Yeah, specific employees.

Anyway, this is a good point, people can only stare at a screen for so long, unless they're playing video games. Obviously they need to gamify trading. I mean, more than they already have

Seems to be evidence that your joke is too true to be funny.

That is exactly the space I am always trying to inhabit. Sometimes I even get there.

Or how about a higher tax rate if the profits are based on proven lies?

Taxing bad behavior is just another variation of the evil bit, or vice versa I suppose.

I really don't understand why the only two women candidates that Democrats have run have at least appeared to be at the authoritarian end of their party.

There are two main problems with Democrats. First problem, they are not actually left enough. They are solidly in the pockets of big business, they always vote to increase funding to the MIC, etc etc. They are mostly just as addicted to money as Republicans. (On average it costs more to bribe them, which is mildly interesting although it doesn't change anything for us - it's been studied and it costs more in "donations" to get them to vote like shitheels, but they still do it.) Second problem, which is related to that problem: they think they can court the right wing. Well, they fucking can not. They shift right to try to get votes and it doesn't work. They keep going conservative and losing, and they do it with such gusto that it's difficult to believe it's not on purpose.

Harris failed to condemn genocide for both of these reasons, and that is a huge reason why younger voters stayed home. I don't disagree with anything you said, but I still believe that's a huge factor here.

Correct, I am not a simp for the world's longest running child rape conspiracy.

you certainly don't get a fucking say in it.

I don't need to have one. You actually do get to claim to be one if you're not actually living the faith, and you know who decided that? The church. In between raping children and relocating child molesters to other locations so they can rape more children, the priests and bishops and popes took some time out to say it's OK as long as you keep trying to come in and give them money and children.

The only thing stopping you from calling the water pipes in your house "copper-phosphorus pipes" is laziness and poor attention to detail.

Have you ever heard a single person, including plumbing professionals, call them "copper-phosphorus pipes"?

No. Because that's not how the English language works. You're the one who is too lazy and ignorant to figure out how people actually communicate in society.

Hint: The systematization your mind wants to apply to everything is not absolute. You need to figure out when to relax the formal logic rules when they start to result in absurd outcomes.
