How does that not fit point "a)" ? And even so, how is that "completely different"? In both USA and France, COVID can push you to misery.

Living outside the United Shitholes of America does not necessarily imply you have perfect healthcare. Every system can be improved.

That is debt induced by a) too many medical fees to pay forward and b) loss of your job due to long covid (yes, that does happen in France).

The same can be said of "paper" petitions, but usually to a lesser extent.

My point is: most online petitions cannot be verified and thus can be easily dismissed as "fake" or "not representative".

Err... no? I assume governments require petitions signed by their citizens, as opposed to foreigners, bots and duplicate accounts.

"This mode is called free-spacing mode. You may also see it called whitespace mode, comment mode or verbose mode."

As hinted by another comment, "verbose" was not the best keyword to refer to this feature.

You got the idea. In a finite world, every problem ends up being important.

And carbon footprint is only today's most fashionable metric. We could have other metrics reflecting other concerns.

Well, DUH. Blame companies, get billions of "I'm just an individual, not a company, so I can carelessly live my western way of life" people.

So, sending virus to either non-existing mailboxes or innocent, completely unrelated people?

Depending on your software+hardware setup, you may have to adjust again depending on the selected audio track of what you are watching.

Ideally: all the way: playing software (here, Netflix), underlying software sound system, hardware.

Most likely because it isn't actually a fair point.

This is true-ish for data on drives, but the details vary wildly depending on the layers between actual data and actual hardware.

Not true for Internet Protocol packets: they have a variable size described by 16 bits in the IP header

It's the usual "I somehow won at arm wrestling against some green-on-black text and something in 3D appeared on the screen"

Ah, Social Engineering. But they rarely leverage that in movies.

Correct, but… Great Filter? Nah. Mismanagement of limited resources due to overpopulation × heavy lifestyle is a much better candidate.
