Modded Troll, really?
Isn't it incredible how many government overreach defenders there are online?
First they came for the nurses, but I did nothing because it did not affect me.
Then they came for the truckers, but I did nothing because it did not affect me.
Then they came for me, but there was nobody left to defend me.
Try again, with data please.

Indeed, when I discovered the suggested "workflow" to make that happen I was even more appalled at the iPhone platform than before, and that's saying something! If iPhone was supported by the heart medicine drug makers I would not even be surprised.
I have issues cheering for a country that puts millions of people into concentration camps and benefits from their slave labor and organs. That makes them no better than nazi Germany and their V2 program (largely helped by slave labor).
Maybe not murder directly, but destroyed lives and pushed people over the edge. That's at least in the viscinity of murderous.
Once we've got a replacement digital world, it will be "irresponsible" to use resources in the real world, at least by normal folk. Some of us will spend our whole lives in the digital world, enslaved.
I mean, as long as we're throwing out wild predictions about the future...
In fact I'm surprised Covid hasn't been used as an excuse yet...
They're working on it. When pressed about Canada's horrible human rights violations, Prime Minister Trudeau said he's not going to address that - he's focused on getting Canada through Covid. How convenient.
Too bad statins don't actually cure anything. They do have a myriad of side-effects.
And also, too bad that you're concerned about "high cholesterol" - cholesterol particles number by itself is not an indicator of cardiovascular disease or metabolic syndrome. Only oxidized LDL particles (which are the same as small-dense LDL, sdLDL) however, indicative of CVD and metabolic syndrome.
High healthy LDL is not a reason for worry. People who are on a ketogenic or carnivore/zerocarb diet will often have increased LDL readings without any adverse health effects. Some genetic traits will also bring higher LDL readings in otherwise perfectly healthy patients.
Basically, you've been poisoning yourself with statins for no good reason. Statins is a 100B/year industry, and there are strong incentives to keep it going. Those incentives are not aligned with your health.
They had me until "subverts expectations". We all know how well that approach went for Star Wars. May the phrase never be uttered again.
I was more or less required at one job to have the camera on for all meetings because of the non-verbal cues, making sure people are paying attention. It did feel draining, but I didn't have the words to express why it felt wrong. This is an interesting study they did.
"... these films that they amount to much, much more than mere property to be exploited and then locked away. They are among the greatest treasures of our culture, and they must be treated accordingly."
Said as Disney slaps warning labels and age restrictions on The Muppet Show. What's to say that future generations will even tolerate these "treasures" and not ban them outright?
It was enough to push me to try Brave. I haven't looked back.
Selfish? More like in-tune with how politicians who make the rules act in reality, not listening to their own restrictions. This is the game being played - why can't regular folk follow the examples of the overseers? Is that actually selfish, or just common sense to want to be treated equally?
Note: I don't know what the leaders in other countries are like, but in Canada they're a bunch of lying scumbags who have no accountability for breaking the rules.
Which game was it that GOG pulled? I have about a thousand purchases on GOG, but I am more than willing to leave them behind if they pulled a game from a Taiwanese company. I love Taiwan a great deal. I love free speech even more.
Here's what Apple sees: increased cost and effort trying to certify their circuitous supply chain while competitors Huawei, Xiaomi, and others continue their current manufacturing practices unabated.
I'll give you 10 minutes to think and realize why this is total bullshit.
So how exactly is this bill not going to affect every company importing into the US? Whether it's Apple, Foxconn or Huawei, if their products contain parts made by slaves, they will be sanctioned. The bill does not discriminate against US-based companies. If anything, it somewhat favors them, because US-based companies should have an easier time not making shit in China, unlike Huawei who are pretty much forced to, by the CCP.
Maybe you can't buy happiness, but these days you can certainly charge it.
