  • You have three options:-

    1. Use a tool like Universal Android Debloater to disable (but not completely remove) them.
    2. See if you can get Nokia or Motorola phones. These have mostly vanilla Android.
    3. Get a Xiaomi or OnePlus phone with a custom ROM pre-installed.
  • Current economies are basically dependent on a growing population to support the elderly and retired members of the population.

    This applies only when labour is in short supply. Japan and Germany have heavily automated their industry for this reason, and China seems to be on this track.

    Apart from the labour shortage, a gradually declining population is a good thing. The earth can only give us so many resources, and unless we reduce our numbers - particularly among the rich - we are headed towards extinction.

  • We have had very smart people working on climate change models for decades and no one ever looked into that?

    The problem isn't that no one has looked into it. The problem - and this is a general one for any scientist working in climate change or environmental protection - is that we can't afford to raise a single false alarm. We can't publish bad news unless we're 100% certain, because that will give oil companies' lawyers and 'journalists' enough ammo for the next fifty years. This means that published climate predictions are usually the most optimistic and conservative estimates.

  • If it is peace that the Israeli politicians want, why do they fund Hamas?

    Also, ever wondered where Hamas - living in a place under such a strict embargo that people don't have enough food to eat - gets the explosives for its rockets?

  • At this point, when someone says they are 'against Israel', what they mean is that they are against the genocide the Israeli army is carrying out in Gaza. Maybe there are some who want the country itself toppled - neo-Nazis, for example, or those detached from reality - but they are a small minority (outside of Iran, perhaps).

  • not because snakes hunt people

    Pythons do attack children, although a grown woman is probably safe. Many small venomous snakes are attracted to the warmth of sleeping humans, and don't take too kindly to the human rolling over / swatting at them in their sleep.

    A hungry bear is able to sniff, track and actively hunt you.

    The vast majority of bear attacks occur when the human either accidentally ambushes the bear, or goes near a bear cub. Afaik only male polar bears hunt humans, and they do it extremely rarely, only as a last resort.

  • I'm no snowflake, not an incel, either.

    Found the snowflake.

    This meme isn't about you (hopefully). Not everything is about you or your fellows. If this meme triggers you, there's something seriously wrong with you. I hope you are just a snowflake, because the alternative is a lot worse.
