It keeps happening because people are human and make mistakes.

And the guy who invented it didn't ever have to use it for decades afterwards, it was purely theoretical to him.

JD Vance is the only guy who can join the mile high club without leaving his seat.

He has. He and his twin brother were actually part of a study into the effects of long term space habitation (his trips were shorter). They're the only two siblings to ever both go to space.

Sure, no one is saying that. The point is that it doesn't send anything other than the stuff after the keywords back to company servers.

There's also the matter of there being literally hundreds of security and privacy researchers who would love nothing more than to catch Amazon doing this, and no one has in any major way.

Same but also add "less" and "fewer"

There's also been tons of academic studies on it that back it up.

Protonmail is encrypted and they literally cannot decrypt to record your data.

I mean there is an argument, whether you agree with it or not, for moral relativism, and in that case I certainly would say that in-universe, a moral relativist would consider the imperium the good guys.

I mean that guy is being an idiot, but it's also not quite that simple. There is still more and less ethical consumption. A fairphone is more ethical than an iPhone, and pointing that out in good faith to someone complaining about Apple's behavior seems entirely fair.

It's not a complete fallacy to point out that someone is consuming something less ethical when they have a better option. Obviously it's impossible for anyone to do this with literally everything, but absolutely you can avoid Starbucks because of their treatment of unions, and frequent a local coffee shop instead.

Granted this is mostly assuming two people having a good faith discussion, which on the internet is infrequent lol.

It also could be referencing something that they were better at in their prime, but may no longer be able to do due to age. Like answering running if your dad was a professional runner or something.
