Seems reasonable. It's analogous to cameras in the lobby of a hotel.

Not in conversation, but legally (e.g. workplace injury laws) it's true

Democrats burst out laughing at Marjorie Taylor Greene when she asks them to abide by decorum of the House by ohnoh18 in PublicFreakout

Oof I can believe it. The people I know from around Spring all lean conservative. Even people who claim to have no interest in politics still regurgitate right-wing talking points without self-awareness.

You can (and should) take independent, logical steps to reduce your risk exposure while simultaneously advocating for legislation that seeks the same goal collectively.

Better hurry up and secure one of the few remaining Windows XP installation CD-ROMs while there's still time to feel the primal surge of adrenaline as you raw-dog the Internet with a turbocharged version of IE6. Time is running out before freedom-hating regulators strip you of YOUR RIGHT to give filesystem permissions to any sketchy swf you encounter.

If an infinite lifespan is a joke, and an average lifespan is wholly contained within an infinite lifespan, logically it thus follows that all lives matter are jokes.

Fascism requires pursuit of a homogeneous ethnostate along with a charismatic despot and the de jure (not de facto) suppression of civil rights. Don't be like my auntie who describes everything she dislikes as "Satanic". Fascism is a specific type of evil -- one that doesn't apply here.

Individual attributes are meaningless when analyzing collective datasets. i.e. it doesn't matter if a person is "good" or "bad" however you want to define those, because aggregation will cause the data to converge to values set by the dataset as a whole. The problem is systemic.

Probably so you can show it as proof that you completed basic training when the military eventually misplaces the internal record.

My doctor charges the insurance company $58 to ask how many drinks a week I have. by recycledairplane1 in mildlyinteresting

If only we had some sort of protocol to transfer text and related formatting information across endpoints via some standardized syntax that could locate resources uniformly. But I guess that's too invalid of a request.

It's wild how much bullshit got peddled about depression being a factor of neurotransmitter activity. There's never been a way to measure depression without using quantitative metrics that are also pulled from someone's imagination.

I'm having a hard time trying to think of any sort of comprehensive evaluation that could be easier.

out of all the shots you could throw at the makers of Clippy, IE6, and the Zune, that seems like a really trivial gripe. Did you consider that they're requesting your info because it might not match what got last recorded in the database? Not just the values, but the data item type itself could have evolved. For example, 25 years ago society considered gender a const. Now it's a var.
