So much this. Please let politics be boring again.

Instead of trying to make idiocracy happen faster than previously believed to be possible.

I really miss having the delusion that MOST people were good, just more susceptible to media influence and bullshit.

Fuck, I really miss that. What a good response, thx!

My guy, the motor type matters not one iota to those trying to make money off your data.

Gas, diesel, all manner of hybrids, and EVs all track the ever loving crap out of you (by default, and often not on a defeatable level.)

Agreed, but not zero for Trump voters or non-voters.

Yup. Rare, but has happened multiple… oh wait, you said “strongly held.”

Even then, probably yes, but not a single… hmmm. I would say the closest I’ve come was this person talking about what it’s like to be trans. They said it’s like going into a shoe store, and you just can’t find a shoe that fits. Everyone is telling you you’ve got to buy a shoe that doesn’t fit. Why can’t we be ok with everyone deciding what fits?

They said it more eloquently than that, but it made the issue click for me. I was never against; I just didn’t understand, and they helped me understand.

Then much later someone pointed out the scientific data on SRY and that helped the data side of my brain. (The data didn’t change my acceptance, just furthered my understanding. I’m fully onboard and think it’s crazy that everyone else isn’t.)

Great question! (Mostly I have dropped out of online discussions, straw man arguments are so common it’s exhausting and not worth it.)

Last one doesn’t make sense any more, iPhones have been usb-c for a couple years now.

Shredded latex is the answer, 100%. But only if you are able to remove (or add) the latex as needed. I found I needed about half of what the pillow came with. Maybe a third?

The result is a pillow that can do it all: prop up your head for reading in bed, become mostly neck support for back sleeping (with a bit of shaping; takes seconds but isn’t automatic,) and ditto for side sleeping but at a slightly higher height.

Once you get used to a pillow that holds its shape and provides excellent support, all other pillows feel archaic.
