Since data centre projects are getting rammed through at breakneck speed despite very widespread opposition, it might look to others like your opinion is actually worth significantly more than theirs, simply because it happens to be shared by a handful of people with god tier money.

Cranes are also useful for construction, doesn’t mean every fourth house on my street should have one

Both of those things are legal. That’s the difference.

Looks like we found the “things that never happened” double Jeopardy for today

None of that is a refutation of what I said though, since I reject the notion that belief in the existence of the soul can be used as justification for stripping a person of their bodily autonomy.

If we found out cancer cells had souls tomorrow, exactly no one would be screaming “but their souls!” at folks walking into a cancer clinic.

Uh yeah I don’t think anyone needs to have “the argument” explained. I have yet to see an explanation for why it deserves any merit though.

Uh, women would like a word.

“not all men”-ing libertarian crypto bro gun nuts is really a “fourth-level-down in Inception” own goal

1Blocker already mentioned, but it is is absolutely fantastic.

The iOS version also blocks in-app trackers (in other apps, outside of Safari) and YouTube app ads via its firewall feature.

I’m not denying massacres took place or that Hamas has done unforgivable things. Just that baby-beheading specifically is getting thrown around a lot without proof and even Israel is refusing to corroborate the claims.

Even the IDL admitted they couldn’t confirm those reports. Hamas has done plenty of atrocious things, we don’t need to sensationalize.

Be there.

I was 14 when we had to put our first animal down; my mom, someone I guess you’d describe as hyper-emotional, was a wreck. A year later we had another, thankfully just of old age, but she “couldn’t bear it again” so I was in the vet by myself because I didn’t want my cat to be alone when she passed. It sure sucked doing it alone and feeling like I had to be the grownup, but I’ve never regretted my choice.

If you need to bring a friend to help get you through it, then do. But be there, no matter what. The closure that it offers is invaluable.

I’m so sorry. I hope you both find peace.

I don’t see that happening tbh, since they made Secure Notes for this purpose which (i would assume they believe) offers a better experience than storing not-logins with logins. Secure Notes offer the same level of security as the keychain IIRC.
