We have heard about it.... you're just not getting your news from sources that mention it. There are multiple things they allow on American TikTok that they do not allow on Chinese TikTok. They allow these things because they know it helps with social decay in America.

Name one other nation in the history of the world that has given any consideration at all to the people who's land they took. Indians were stealing land from each other for generations before "colonialism" was a thing. It's just part of human history. Time to move on, they're certainly not getting much societal benefit from government gifted land. It's only served to isolate them more and impoverish their communities. Instead of integrating they continue to live in a past that no longer exists. Either they're Americans or they're not.

I use a powdered drink called 'Calm'. It's got a bit of a berry flavor to it. Start with a small amount though or you'll be shitting your pants. There are a lot of studies showing magnesium levels are far too low in people anyway so it's a good idea to supplement it.

They sold it off because they were bad at making money and keeping it running.

Your second sentence it a strawman. Of course it's not capitalism to bail out manufacturers. How's that working out for the US? All you've proven is that when the US implements socialist policies it's detrimental. So, thanks for proving my point.

"That’s not to say every last corner of Earth is losing its vegetation. Some recent studies have revealed that parts of the Arctic are “greening” as the chilly landscape warms. And there’s increasing plant growth still happening in other regions of the world, as well."

So, a sensationalist headline. The H20 on Earth doesn't change, it might shift to other areas, like has for billions of years. Climate change or not we've always had shifting biomes, which is why we've got deserts in areas now that were essentially jungles in the past.

I agree... in the past they would have gotten harpooned and quickly communicated to others that going near human boats was a bad idea.

I think coming up with some non-lethal way of deterring them might be a good idea. A killer whale taser of some sort. Just sitting there watching it tear your boat to shreds seems like a bad idea.

Because I needed to know whether I had genetic health issues. I assume you use a smart phone. If so, you've already given up your privacy. You're like the people that scream about someone having Alexa in their house while simultaneously carrying Siri everywhere in your pocket.

What exactly is someone going to do with my DNA? Any entity that's a threat to use it for something nefarious is going to get it from me pretty easily. They could grab any number of physical items that I've touched or left my hair on etc.

Should they do a better job of protecting the data? Yes. Am I going to freak out over something that will likely not affect my life in any way? Nope.

"You don’t have to obey anyone’s so-called “property rights.”"

You don't have to obey them now either, but don't come crying to us when someone kills you for trying to take it just like they would have if you tried to come in and take over some tribe's land in the past.

The only difference now is that you might get the luxury of just going to court or jail.

” The right not to preventably and painfully die should be unconditional."

This is a silly statement. You might as well say Superman powers ought to be unconditional.

Whose rights get to be trampled to give you this unconditional right to do nothing while receiving "free" stuff? Anyone with your mindset is an out of touch elitist. SOMEONE will still have to provide you food, electricity, medical etc. So, what you're saying is you actually want a slave class that provides YOU the right to not "earn a living".
