To add onto what other commenters said:

1. It isn’t legally mandated, only customary
2. If it was mandatory, such a mandate would probably be illegal
3. Plenty of teachers and school officials (but not most) will be pissed/will punish you if you don’t do the pledge.

Children deserve privacy like the rest of us do.

He probably got a good sentence considering he never stepped foot in a US prison

Why not make a better UI after ironing out the bugs?

I genuinely wonder why MS hasn’t added FTP to Windows Explorer in all these years. It would’ve fixed so many issues

Even if the left is overall more tolerant, there’s still plenty of toxicity that alienates people and pushes them rightward.

Any such interface needs to be non-invasive/removable for me to use one.

I don’t know; AFAIK, Reddit successfully argued that they own Wallstreetbets’ trademarks in court. That might void all of these licenses depending on the ToS of the instance being used.

It’s scary how this is the way I found out

I remember seeing an experiment saying that the difference is negligible. Even if it isn’t, it’s far more important to keep your battery between 20 and 80 percent at all times.
