But a woman can deny as many potential pregnancies. The count ignores women who are already pregnant, both as men or women

Not ejaculating inside is risky and not 100% reliable, but it surely gets the odds in your favor indeed

Depends what you mean by trust
If you mean trust that they won’t sell, then yes
If you purely mean security, then Google
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 3 days ago:
Uneducated answer
Proofs? Their privacy policy, the fact that Google is an advertising company, the fact that the “data sharing” of iOS gets leaked regularly and they’re never sold basically

They make a significant margin on them, but note that material cost isn’t the only cost involved. Development and R&D should be included in the price. Same goes for taxes, and different spendings like renting the workspace…
If your cheap phone is made by underpaid workers in China, then you have a part of the answer. Those cheap phones sell your data to make their margin. Some others charge you premium because they’re good and they know it. Obviously they’re making good profit on them, but I wouldn’t say it’s “so much”

People spend multiple monthly salaries to buy a car that they’ll use less than their phone

Then it’s up to how much one values having slightly better privacy over the rest. You can’t blame someone wanting the best of both worlds without too much effort but at a higher price
Besides, iOS
hashad a relatively good interface and the best chips and energy efficiency, one of the best cameras, but ofc lacks in other areas - Comment on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly 4 days ago:
You have to decide, a few months ago everyone was blaming OpenAI for not doing anything

I still believe the majority don’t know shit and repeat stuff like the video from The Hated One, which only apply if you run a custom Android ROM, and even then, it’s based on their opinion only and no metrics or real data to back it up
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 4 days ago:
And that’s worse for your data than iOS
- Comment on Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App 4 days ago:
Obviously the answer applies when you reply no
They use the data for App Store recommendations and for insights

Stop dreaming

Tried to, but they block some vpn IPs and ne some mail domains, notably mail aliases
Plus they basically stopped replying to me. Are mail aliases really used as spam? I believe it’s a made up thing
And anyways, when contacting them manually, it should be enough to understand that it’s not automated. It would be so easy to spam register using non flagged IPs and non flagged domains but they’re still rigid about these rules. I hate when services do that.

Most of it is habits

And by continuing the hate on pedophiles instead of pedocriminals, they feel bad and hide themselves, can’t talk about it, and can’t get helped if they require some
- Comment on psycho killer 4 weeks ago:
It’s not wrong to like kids. You can’t control what you like. It’s wrong to act.
Not supporting someone because they’re a pedophile is bad. Not supporting someone because they’re a pedocriminal is good
