He's gonna be real surprised when YHWH sends him to hell for violating the commandments (thou shall not kill and don't take the lord's name in vain).

The US itself is a risky and inefficient project.
Ironic how US kids cartoons commonly portray "digging to China" as something americans can hypothetically do, to the point where a good portion of American adults just assume it to be true. Yet the only place where that's possible is South America.
Usually the people debunking the notion focus on the fact that the Earth is molten in the center so you can't dig all the way through it in the same way you can't dig to the ocean floor from the surface (which is reasonable don't get me wrong), but they rarely mention the fact that China is not actually on the opposite side of the Earth to the US.
This isn't a political comment. I just find it interesting that this is something literally anyone can disprove with a dollar store globe but no one bothers to do it and instead just assume the cartoons for children are factual.
God I wish my network in Canada still supported Fairphones. My last Fairphone just stopped connecting to cellular service one day, which I probably should have expected given it's European bands only.
Do they have DRM or something? I hope not. But if it doesn't, what's stopping anyone who bought the asset from uploading it somewhere else?
This is an issue with open source app/resource stores that to my knowledge no one has solved. If you stay true to the Free (as in freedom) software philosophy, then you can't really put anything in to enforce paid access to something, and even if you do, anyone with a text editor can just take that code out. But if you just let anyone who buys it redistribute it for free, you're not going to attract many sellers because they wouldn't trust their content to remain paid access only. Add to the fact that paid content is inheretly proprietary, or at the very least, the author certainly wouldn't choose to put Free as in freedom licenses on their content because that would literally legally allow anyone to redistribute it for free.
It's the correct amount of paranoia. The issue is society has normalized completely not giving a shit about your own privacy to the point where any attempt at preserving it is seen as abnormal.
Reading it back I can see how I might have come off as arguing with the OP. I had just intended to add some context in general around why "straight pride" isn't a generally accepted thing but gay pride is, because whenever this comes up you usually get at least one person asking "what, so we're supposed to be ashamed of being straight now? That's just discrimination in reverse!”
"Straight pride" isn't a thing. It's purely a reactionary response to gay pride.
The point of gay pride is for gay people to show that they're not afraid to be who they are in the face of systematic discrimination. It is specifically countering the culture of gay shame that had been the norm in the past. Straight people are already the overwhelming majority and have never been oppressed for their sexual orientation. There's was never any shame associated with it so it makes no sense to proclaim that you're "proud" to be straight.
It's like someone who finished a marathon expressing their pride for their accomplishment, and some loser who has to make everything about themselves says "well I sat on my ass all day and I deserve to be proud of that too!"
The issue is not that it's not okay to be proud of being straight, you're welcome to feel pride all you want. The issue is when you but into someone else's moment and make it about yourself.
