Stress is bad for your body. You can also eat healthier and get more exercise if you are wealthy - you have the time and energy to do so. Your relationship with family members are also less strained - at least when it comes to money. All ge

Users will still need to connect to TikTok’s servers right? Can’t they implement an IP block or something on those servers - this way even if you have the app it’s useless unless you use a VPN.

Wiping your Watch History should fix it. I always remove objectionable videos I accidentally watch from my Watch History to prevent the algorithm from using it as a basis for recommending me stuff.

So far YouTube's ads haven't convinced me to invest - much less invest with those advertised companies; frankly, I would probably go to my bank if I were to get into investing, I mean I already trust them with my money.

It wasn’t mandated the same way USB-C is today. It had enough flexibility that Apple could implement the superior Lightning connector. If the EU mandated micro-usb the way they are USB-C, Lightning would not have been released.

Who decides when we will update? If there are competing standards next round, who gets to decide which one? The very corruptible EU?

Funny enough, if Micro-USB has been mandated by the EU, Lightning wouldn't even exist and everyone would have been stuck with the IMHO chunky Micro-USB.

So phones will be stuck on USB-C until the EU wills that it be changed. The EU will supposedly upgrade the mandate when a better standard comes along … but who gets to determine if the new standard is “better” enough to trigger a replacemen
