Given that most of the people I know who go to (or went to) what you'd call moderate churches also voted for Trump, I'd say your view is at best flawed.

I haven't really checked since I've never needed to, but I imagine there's a way to report that they've harassed you, which presumably would be worse for them.

If you're in North America, Asian cars are generally gonna be Korean or Japanese, not Chinese. I'd probably say just buy Japanese cars frankly since IIRC they're supposedly the most reliable.

Not really surprising. China's not a particularly great neighbor since their govt seems to enjoy claiming territory it don't actually control.

Shenzhen is huge and has an absurd amount of tech companies, so this doesn't really surprise me.

I don't know anything about this product, but if the data is just on an SD card attached to the doorbell, couldn't someone just steal the SD card? Like, this is why offsite storage for cameras is useful.

This is a case where I find trying to preserve "tradition" just incredibly bizarre. Like, what does this even add?

Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either "remaster" the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.

This really doesn't sound that off from something he'd do.

I like how they recommend Zen in their Firefox forks list despite the creator/main contributor seemingly having little understanding of security. The UI is nice though I guess.

Maybe I'll just use mailbox.org or encrypt my emails with addy.io at this point :|

Reading the article, I'm not entirely sure the survey authors are claiming that. The quote they pulled sounds like it just says among the people surveyed (who are known to be trans), those stats apply. They're definitely very easy to misuse though. I feel like it would be nice to actually have good stats for people who detransition, but it seems almost impossible without someone trying to bias the results at this point.

This doesn't surprise me at all. I also expect that some younger Republicans are getting news from random, less popular right-wing podcasts or whatever. The Republicans I know basically either do that or pretty much exclusively use Fox News and occasionally Newsmax.
