Apparently it is just the ones containing menthol, salicylic acid, alcohols, camphor, or some fragrances. Apparently some chap sticks have petroleum jelly as an ingredient too.

To add on to what you said, the way I've always described my stance on the corporations are people argument is that I will believe they are people when Texas gives one the death penalty.
This site does that
True, but all of the other things they track are more sensible.
tbf they are only heavier because they are making them SUVs instead of coupes or sedans and trying to convince people that a 150 mile range isnt long enough for them as if they wont just plug it back in when they get home or as if they actually commute 75 miles each way. God forbid they have to wait for it to charge. Electric vehicles have the potential to be the same weight or lighter but car companies all suck.
Shame the cloudflare VPN wall doesnt let me sign it. It just loops a captcha at me that insta-fails.
The longer time to pay makes sense but the cards I have dont charge me for having them, I know availability of cards may vary though, some people might not have decent card options, I guess it makes sense.
All of the "buy now pay later" or pay in installment schemes/apps popping up, supposedly they are popular but I don't get it, it is just a worse credit card.
Absolutely this, sedans are virtually dead here in America thanks to CAFE regulations and I staunchly refuse to buy an SUV or pickup, even used, unless I have a need for something bigger, and then Station Wagons and vans will get my attention before pickups, and SUVs will never get my attention.
Especially when you consider my 2000 Town Car (RIP Mercury) got 21MPG city and 30 Highway (on long interstate trips), even though it was only rated for 16 city 23 highway, but somehow a 2025 Ford Explorer only is rated for 18 city/25 highway, only 2 MPG better than a 25 year old car's official rating on both categories, despite being the same price new, before being adjusted for inflation (both started between $39-40k), 25 years of development for a 2.3L I4 SUV to match a 25 year old 4.6L V8 sedan, our vehicle market is a joke.
Fair, but alot of people are going to wind up on a corporate social media anyways, and if they aren't willing to jump over to more private options this is a mitigation of the damage and simultaneously is an act of defiance, so while not the best choice, I still regard it as better than, say, anything Meta owns. So I feel this shouldnt be beaten down on so hard, but rather used as a chance to say "Yeah, that is a step, but here are some better options". Talking down about their choice on a platform they already aren't on as if it is somehow worse than what is being pushed on them is just screaming into the void.
I understand it perfectly, if american companies harvest their data, their govt is only a step from having it, and companies over here have immediate use of that data.
If the chinese companies have it, the chinese govt has it, and then what? Is china gonna prosecute us internationally with the info? At minimum they are making the US companies and govt crawl to china for the data they so desperately want.
Like, the US gets more use of data on US citizens than China would. Maybe if the concern was improving the security of american apps and data I would see the point, but seeing how many american companies continue to get away with it, it is blatant "America Good, others Bad"
