I get where you’re going but on the other side of your fear of the state you are denied release from what could be immense suffering because the state deems it.

Body autonomy is in my opinion a very crucial part of human rights even if the decisions is ultimately a mistake. You can’t really stop people from committing suicide, all you can do is make it less humane.

Absolutely. They’ve been trying to increase the retirement age for years now.

It’s actually lower in the poor-er regions.

If people can afford to commute to office jobs in 5,000lb trucks the gas prices aren’t high enough.

That’s basically all corporate entities. They’re not beholden to the workers, the consumers, or the general public and instead answer to people generally trying to milk everything as hard as possible.

I’d argue most of us are older but not too old to remember what the internet was as well.

Ahh yes, I should be worried about how they could in the future, do something while my current government can make me a fucking slave, legally if they decide to.

The people running the show know what is going on and it’s been this way for ages. Did we all forget the Kent State massacre

So a mortgage is part of your mortgage? It’s literally not your mortgage, it’s a cost of having a mortgage just like food isn’t healthcare.

None of those are “part of your mortgage” They’re things you pay as well as a mortgage.

Bank pays interest on their income.]

Oh yeah? https://www.irs.gov/publications/p936

The IRS says you can deduct the interest on your mortgage but I can’t deduct when the rent goes up? Mortgages are usually fixed rates that stay about the same always while rent is constantly going up.

Wait till you find out about all the companies destroying infrastructure and using disinformation.

There’s really no upside either so it’s really just a waste of time. Millions of Americans without proper medical. Congress sleeps. Short form video. Real shit.

But this doesn’t stop anyone from spying on them. Data collection, aggregation, sale, and exploitation is entirely legal so if the Chinese government wants your data they can buy it wholesale for less than maintaining TikTok from Google, Microsoft, Apple, Meta, Discord, and Amazon.

All you’re doing is taking a bunch of blubbering buffoon’s at their word that this is for your protection.

Other platforms with ads haven’t really seen people move off those platforms. I feel like once it reaches that critical mass of being nearly ubiquitous it takes a massive problem to push people off of it. Look at SMS in the US and how it’s refused to die compared to other markets because it has reached saturation and now the only challenge to that ubiquity is iMessage who basically lives off being a fake SMS service.

Except you’re being hyperbolic for the sake of cherrypicking.

I’m talking the Nissan Leaf at 40kwh and even on the lower end of ebike batteries at 400Wh, we’re still not at the claimed rate. This is why it heavily depends because the Hummer EV is closer to 200kWh and some ultra lightweight ebikes could be 200wh or less. All currently on the market, being sold, and something you might see on the road unlike a Citroën 2CV

Heavily depends on the car and ebike. I’ve seen ebikes rocking over 1Kwh and cars closer to 40Kwh.

That’s capitalism for you. They’re not interested in making things better, they’re interested in making more profit.

Just like when users get “hacked” a lot of the time it was just their own lack of security practices and not the service provider. Obviously there are exceptions and I hate defending tech giants but end users are often to blame.
