I disagree that carrying a child to term is low effort. It absolutely wrecks a woman's body. Really what you should respond with is, "I didn't ask to be here. I didn't consent to being born."

Honestly, check out some of the smaller games as well. Botw and Totk and other Nintendo-based games are amazing, but I've found a lot of indie games fun (e.g., Cult of the Lamb, Hollow Knight, Oxenfree, Spiritfarer, Gris, etc.). The smaller games also get deals the most.

I thought Christianity is like that because it was based on Judaism, and Judaism is like that because the Hebrews kept getting killed. Hard to keep a people if they don't reproduce and you are constantly enslaved or at war.

This is absolutely false information. Third party business associates are considered covered entities under the Privacy Rule. The hospital signs a contract with a collection agency and thus that business can now access your health information as an institute of the hospital. You don't need to sign away your rights if it is considered an essential activity of the hospital, which billing and payments are. Also, it's HIPAA.

And you aren't being treated anywhere without signing a privacy HIPAA notice.

I don't believe at all that I have any privacy on the internet. As someone in the US, I pretty much assumed I lost that when Bush signed the Patriot Act. My dislike of Meta joining has nothing to do with privacy and everything to do with their love of destroying good things for the sake of profit. I have no desire for yet another thing to become a corporate bullshit farm. This is honestly my last resort. If the fediverse is dismantled for profit, I'll just stop any type of social media whatsoever. It's not worth it to me.

I think charging to use the API is fine, but it was definitely overpriced to the point that it was obvious they wanted to nuke TPAs. They need all that sweet user data to sell to others, and they can't get to that with TPAs.
