If this was the only way, then you shouldn't have even tried

Your days were numbered to begin with

Huh... That's news to me. When I was first looking into it, that OS was mentioned here and there. I ended up putting Graphene on my phone and left it at that, so I didn't even bother keeping up with any of the other stuff.

That's fair. I just had to get my pixel repaired and it's been a headache because Google doesn't make it easy.

Then buy second-hand. You aren't giving Google any of your money, and you can focus on increasing your privacy.

Another way of deGoogling would be to, ironically, use a Pixel phone and side-load a privacy focused OS like Graphene or CalyxOS. With them, literally everything needs express permissions to be used, whether it's your camera, location, microphone, etc. You can even sandbox the Play Store and other Google services so they can't access your deeper files.

I'm still using Nova as it's so feature-rich. I've had 0 problems with it, but I had no idea people were dropping it. Also had no idea it for bought out either, so maybe it's time to look into using another launcher instead...

I only hope it happens after Elon royally fucks over the Republicans endorsing that Fat Ugly Bill

I actually just looked it up. In certain states, this falls under the "Stand Your Ground" law.

Defense of Others: State law permits the use of force, including deadly force, to defend another person. Non-deadly force is justified when a person reasonably believes it is necessary to protect someone from imminent unlawful force. Deadly force is justified to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm, or a "forcible felony" to the other person. Examples of forcible felonies include murder, robbery, and aggravated assault. 

Immunity from Prosecution: A key feature of the Stand Your Ground law is potential immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits if the use of force is found to be legally justified. A defendant can request a pretrial hearing to determine if their actions were justified, potentially leading to dismissal of the case. The prosecution must provide clear and convincing evidence that the force was not justified. 

Important Considerations: The force used must be proportional to the threat. Stand Your Ground does not apply if the person was engaged in unlawful activity or provoked the attack. Immunity also generally does not apply when using force against a law enforcement officer performing their duties.

Meaning if you see a bunch of masked men trying to abduct someone and they aren't identifying themselves as law enforcement, you can legally shoot them to defend the person being assaulted. You would also be immune from criminal prosecution for doing so.

You'd better be a great shot though. And you'd probably get killed. At minimum for sure you're getting arrested (and probably disappeared). But you are legally in the clear. And the news would be ALL over it. I'd like the TACO administration compete against Republican-state laws.

PFOA was banned, but PFOS and other very-slightly-different forever chemicals are not banned, therefore get around those regulations due to that technicality. Also, the current US administration is looking into removing a lot of those regulations.

"We must come together to do something about this."

Kinda late for that now. You should've come together months ago to NOT elect Trump as your president. He didn't lie to you. He told you EXACTLY what he was going to do.

I hope you enjoy what you voted for.

The point is ALWAYS to save money. That's what got us here in the first place
