Check out TrackerControl on the F-Droid app store. It lets you block Internet access to individual apps and selectively block trackers and other analytics. It does this by acting as a VPN in the android OS so it won't work while on another VPN but that's good enough for my needs.

It is ironic that Chinese-made opioids are a problem in other countries. China tried to ban opium multiple times, but Britain fought multiple wars with them over their right to sell Opium in China, which was Britain's single most profitable trade at the time.

The British killed civilians and took over Hong Kong so they could control the most important harbor and increase opium imports. This created massive drug trade and eventually domestic opium production.

Militant atheists... I don't think that's actually an issue that exists but if it did, it would only be as a reaction to militant theists who actually rule many parts of the world.

Fantastic documentary though, I highly recommend it.

So Biden is trying to block the import of BYD cars, and now Tesla isn't making an affordable car, where are we supposed to get affordable electric cars from now?

I can't believe Barbie edited all blue screens out of 45 minutes of behind the scenes!

I just finished all 3 parts, it really was like a documentary. Looking forward to part 4 when it drops!

Stupid question: What exactly are the dangers being implied here? I have accounts with all of these services although I don't use all of them. I know that they are using and selling my personal information, is there more? I have ways of doing things in private when I need and I'm aware that using these services has no expectations of absolute privacy.

Here is the take away:

The only brand that did not show any markers of PFAS was Ziploc. Public health advocates say the best way consumers can protect themselves is to use glass containers instead of plastic.
