This is just like what's happening in the conservative states where abortion has been banned and criminalized. Hospitals have dissolved their maternity wings altogether because of the risk that the hospital faces. It's the same for trans health care. The risk is too great, even if they follow the laws. Backlash over false claims on Twitter is bad enough by itself for a company.

It's all relative. Ubuntu desktop is minimal compared to Windows, and I've found KDE to run much better than default Ubuntu. It's lightweight for how much it offers.

I guess it would generate a bigger pool of people if they want to get super technical about who they want to genocide. US citizens already have to hand over their demographics to the government, but worst case... I could entertain that idea.

That's a good point that I hadn't considered. I'm not sure how that would go over legally in the US. They could gather very similar information by looking at records from relatives who have used the same insurance company, even just financial records, but that is monitored closely by the government. I wonder if we'll be seeing any lawsuits in the near future.

To check for sperm. The body can heal in amazing ways, which can include reversing a vasectomy.

I struggle to see what someone could do with that information. My ethnicity is already known by the government and every advertiser collecting my information online. I randomly had my identity connected to my cousin's before any family took DNA tests. Her name would show up in those questionnaires along with what car I've owned and where I've lived when I had to go through online government stuff.

I'm relatively paranoid about giving out personal information, but I don't consider my spit very sensitive.

I still don't fully believe in syncing, but it would take time, and, theoretically, you'd have to spend more time with your partner than you do with anyone else.

My partner and I always use condoms, but it is nice knowing where I'm at in my cycle. It helps to know how paranoid I should be since I live in a red state.

I don't trust one method of birth control. We've talked about him getting a vasectomy, and I'll probably be getting a microscope.

They don't care about women who are considering abortion. I'd be more worried that they'd implement a less reliable test.

They would reject federal currency if "in God we trust" was removed.
