Trillion dollar US corporations are still under US law, which does include security requests and gag orders from secret services.

Why should they welcome you in the house they use to LIVE in? As opposed a house they use to make money out of, without contributing anything to society, like landlords do?

Well ice is there to UNDO some of our body's responses, so it does not do something the body could not theoretically achieve.

I guess because they can be used as weapons, if the said lasers can transfer enough energy with enough accuracy to cover real energy needs.

What do you mean? Does a more efficient way of biologically using sun's energy exist?

That animals convert grass and plants in general to meat is undeniable. But I think the issue is, livestock is generally fed with human grown plants, which could be fed directly to humans and save a lot of energy (food and water) wasted in the process, because the amount of calories, for example, that you take off meat is nowhere near the calories contained in the food the animal consumed during its lifetime. Now, regarding if nutrients are missing from a plants only diet, that's another matter.

What is the information given when someone states "I am a woman/man"?

The E2EE here is not about privacy, but about being able to send whatever data you want (like binary) since WhatsApp will only see one type of data (encrypted) in transit, in contrast to needing to send data in a specific format to have it transferred at all. Meta can peek at the original "messages" all they want, they will see encrypted packet data anyway.

The problem when you do not perceive class, is that you view those of the same class as adversaries on your way to the top rather than people on the same boat as you, needing to cooperate to improve your overall position and fix your problems. Lower class problems are other people's problems, because you are not really a part of it or won't be for long more (so you think).

Basic human life conditions should really not be up to a game of "success" that by definition has few winners. In my opinion at least.

Well all decisions ARE made in the brain, conscious or not, and whatever consciousness is, it resides in those neurons. That is also influenced by various inputs of the rest of the body, of course, but I think we can safely assume "self" exists in the brain. Thinking it reversely, can we really say an organism with various complex parts but no brain has consciousness?

You are not a disconnected consciousness, but some body parts are more easily discarded than others, and I think the brain tops most (all?) of the others regarding survivability - and is irreplaceable regarding the "self".

I thought it was useful to know what the labor laws are?

If you feel like that for your boss, that's reason enough to leave already.

If a country makes Islam illegal, would you think some Muslim countries would try to tell to that country to change its laws or not?

Is there a reason this must be in the user's file location and not in the app's own internal files?

But is it not the management that makes such decisions?
