Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated,
No. No it must not. This completely unnecessary statement severely degrades the credibility of the rest of the piece.
The Aztecs used to use human sacrifice every day as part of their religious ceremonies. Shall we "celebrate, protect, and venerate" that?
What about modern day religions that practice genital mutilation? Or other completely abhorrent practices?
No: Religions should be viewed with skepticism and a critical eye. All throughout history they have been responsible for some of the worst of all human behavior and even to this day continue to lead people towards dark, unethical paths.

Even removing the 14th amendment wouldn't take away non-citizen rights. The Bill of Rights applies to all persons living or residing within the United States. Regardless of whether or not they're citizens.
Team Trump doesn't give a shit about the rule of law though đ¤ˇ
Conservatives only trust things they can see. If it can't be seen directly with the naked eye in real time it is a conspiracy or imaginary.
It's why things like vaccines don't seem real to them. They can see the needle and the injection but what happens afterwards is an unknowable, untrustworthy thing.
It's also why MAGA had such a hard time processing Biden's win. Saying things like, "he didn't even hold that many rallies" or "attendance at his rallies were low!" Because to them, a physical presence is necessary to convince anyone that someone is serious about winning their votes (or even real).
Since anything unseen is scary to them it's easy to point the finger at people they don't see very often and say, "they're the ones responsible for your troubles!"
Jokes on them: It's a trivial matter to leave location tracking on and then leave your phone at home, ship it somewhere, tape it under a bus seat, drop it from a bridge on to a barge, etc.
Hall effect sensor expert here! No, the magnets in the joycons that are used to attach to the display/body of the Switch 2 would not interfere with hall effect analog sticks.
Two reasons:
The magnets are too far away (sensors are usually only sensitive to magnets within 10-12mm directly above/below)
The mounting/attachment magnets would be perpendicular to the magnets in the analog sticks (if you imagine the flux lines they wouldn't cross the sensory boundary).
Regardless, it would be trivial to place a tiny little piece of ferromagnetic blocking tape wherever necessary to prevent interference.
In college I would teach the latest quantum encabulator technology. I would open the class by hiding in a box and the students wouldn't know if I was actually alive in the box until they opened it. At which point I would demonstrate the process of using a matter translation array and quantum encabulation to be able to find the answers to such things without having to actually open the box by way of deterministic reality differentiation using a standard wainscotted multiversimeter.
Reminder: TikTok is not actually important. Everyone can live their lives without TikTok, YouTube, etc. There's an infinite amount of ways to entertain ourselves and there's a lot of competing apps.
This isn't the government abusing its power to shut down some small business/upstart. It's shutting down a serious national security threat and a monopoly. TikTok has abused their position many times in many ways, refused to cooperate, and has reached the, "find out" phase.
Why let the Chinese get all the eyeballs for propaganda? Surely we should give other nations a chance?
IMHO they should shut down every app that is both popular and has an exceedingly difficult to penetrate monopoly. Let the competitors rush in and do a it again when the same situation occurs!
Doesn't really matter since food dye is completely unimportant. Candy, cakes, and other foods will taste exactly the same without Red #3.
Better to eliminate any potential risks to ourselves and our pets/livestock than keep it around so Big Company can get better sales with their bright red whatever.
