In their defence, there is no defined point. There are people out there that are so anti-assumption that it can take them a while. They will eventually reach a point like, "Well if there were defined conditions, surely they have been met by now." Basically it must be so full-scale that there can be no room left for doubt.

Unfortunately, such input is typically too little too late; it's just agreeing with the obvious because it's already so obvious.

Same. I'll check out things around me like any normal person, but I rely on my hearing to tell my eyes to look for something specific.

I think too, some people have a very wild imagination. There's no second thoughts getting in a car, despite the chances of being seriously harmed in one making the chances of being attacked in public comparatively inconsequential. You are just extremely unlikely to ever meet one of the very few people that would initiate unprovoked public attack. But parents, crime shows, and movies tell us otherwise—it doesn't hurt to be cautious, anyway.

DV isn't gender-specific (loosely 25% male victims, 75% female, but obviously that's up and down on country)

Femicide is gender-specific with an estimated 0% male victims.

Rapping off a single piton is as insane as climbing 67km from a town without a PLB.

I don't know, and don't really want to know how much money i've got sunk into my acct, but it's a lot

Oh you can know. It's a viewable page within the menu. I'll leave it to you to search up on where.

Call your carrier to blacklist the IMEI. Done.

It has always worked this way, well before the smartphone era.

The only way to overcome is to find a country the phone works with and has carriers not part of the blacklisting networks. Doesn't make for a very practical resale market...

So, now that's out of the way, what control is Google actually trying to sneak in then?

Kermit on behalf of the frogs here, I have some questions...

It makes getting home feel all the more pleasant!

I'm constantly in situations where someone needs to know but no one tries, so I take it on and level up.

It's the "doer" classification. Certainly not the best person for the job, but no one else is doing it, so gotta try. Over time, a new skill is built.

Patience and persistence are beneficial traits to have. I don't think they're natural, I think they're forced but become natural-like after repeatedly experiencing their inevitably rewarding outcomes.

They're not though. I think someone's brain associated side muffler mounts with a random outlet pipe halfway down.

On its side, it's more similar to some rudimentary boilers. But eeally, it's just random scrap metal put together to represent resourcefulness from human pollution with little further thought from the artist.

"Give me back my child!"

"Non."

Yeah, you could be right. My point is this scenario is historically common around the world, without external influence. It's almost always states/regions with lots of rich natural resources. There are some exceptions like Singapore, but the Alberta situation can be compared to groups like from within Texas or Western Australia. Lots of oil, minerals, etc. and wanting to seceed to benefit from it, rather than contribute to the State.

It's also common for those kooky people to be pro-mining or drilling and these people often have kooky ideas regarding political conflicts, the environment, and social welfare if there's a pathway to economically benefit from it.

Of course, it would be a geopolitical disaster for both the seceedee and their current nation, so no one ever listens. It's the premise behind "divide and conquer" afterall—regardless of whether internally voluntary or externally manipulated—so it won't work out well.
