I don't see the need to say anything negative about trans people, it feels very similar to anti-gay rhetoric and talking points of the past. It's not contributing or helping, and actually causes a lot of harm.

It was actually the Child Separation policy enacted by Trumps government that was meant to deter immigration. You're the only one operating on bad faith here.

This site is way too fickle

Yes, it's long been known that it was a lie and excuse, it's sad that people on this site somehow aren't aware of this. Trump had two neo-nazis in his administration, this is just some of the fallout of that.

"Can someone explain why OP is being downvoted?"

Probably for implying that Trump wasn't that bad, when he clearly was.

So you don't use a monitor either?

"When switching phones it's still a process of hours / days to get everything set-up the way you had it on a previous phone"

From my experience this is completely false. I just switched from Galaxy S8 to S20, and I transferred everything and had the new phone setup exactly like the old one, with all apps (that would allow it, LINE wouldn't) and even ringtones and text tones set how I had them in about 20 minutes.

I don't know what world you've experienced, but lying in business is incredibly common. I've seen it personally, and there are plenty of cases of Tobacco companies, DOW, Alcohol companies, and many many more knowingly lying.

Of course they do, it's in their best interest to lie. To think that companies will only tell the truth "because it's in their best interest" is childish, and not at all historically accurate.

And the companies don't spread misinformation? Not saying it's right in either case but companies, Tesla included aren't shining beacons of morality and truthfulness.

What's wrong with short selling? The only reason why people like Elon Musk don't like short selling is because they know that their companies are massively overvalued.

"Either way, singling out mobile games like the text in Godot's documentation did is a mistake."

You're right, console and desktop games that do that are also a problem.

That isn't a clear cut answer to the game being played, they can play it and not be happy with some of the games practices, we really don't know unless a study is done.

Anecdotally All of my friends who play games hate microtransactions and loot boxes. Some don't care if it's only cosmetic though.
