By your definition of "state", states have existed for all of human history. The only thing that has changed over the years is that human population and areas of control have expanded to encompass the whole planet, instead of having huge areas that are outside of anyone's control.

No I'm not. Anarchism keeps getting stupider and less likely to ever be a workable solution to anything the more I look into it. It's at best a nice thought experiment.
You think that having an indigenous population means that everything was sunshine and roses, and no group of humans was killing other groups of humans over that particular chunk of land? You might need to brush up on your history lessons.
A credit score is just a formalized version of the process that everyone already does inside their heads.
Think of your friends. There's one friend that you'd have no problem lending $100 to; you know they are guaranteed to pay you back ASAP. There's another friend who you're pretty sure will pay you back, but it could take a while. And there's that friend that you would be reluctant to lend so much a a pen to, since it's doubtful that you'd ever see it again. Assign a number to each person's trustworthiness (say 2 for the first friend, and 0 to the last) and that right there is a simple credit score system.
The problem is that with that line of thinking, just about nowhere on the planet has a right to exist.
Makes sense. The original fey creatures were often way more terrifying than what currently comes to mind when we say "fairy".
And each one of those things has a very good reason to be the way it is.
Oversized fan. A lot of toaster ovens already were able to do convection cooking, just need to move more air and provide a basket to call it an air fryer.
As a side note, I highly recommend a good toaster oven to everyone. It heats up so much faster than the normal oven, and when reheating things, it doesn't ruin the texture like a microwave. And I don't have to store separate toaster and air fryer.
I have simply stopped acknowledging that there is any link between adaptations and their "source" materials. It has made things so much easier to enjoy. Netflix Cowboy Bebop has no connection to the original inside my head; they just happen to have the same name. Now, I can simply enjoy (or not) the adaptation for it's sake. It doesn't have to conform to whatever my preconceived notions are.
Which shouldn't be allowed in relation to consumer goods and services.
Ok, so the headline is a bit clickbait-y. It's not not everyone who ever watched the video that they are interested in, it's one person they are trying to track down. Still concerning from a privacy standpoint, but it's not like they are trying to say that watching the video was itself a crime.
That's not usual at all. In fact, it seems that most people never actually come to that understanding.
