Part of it is either Reddit manipulating search positioning or Google (most people's default search) prioritizing Reddit results. Searching for answers to questions often results in a half page of Reddit links. They may not be relevant, but that doesn't become apparent until you're there.
If an email address is being used for fraud, they don't need to see the encrypted copy; they can see the copy sent out to other people from that address. So if I send you a message from my Protonmail to your Gmail, the following is true:
Copy @ Protonmail: E2EE.
Copy @ Gmail: NOT E2EE.
There are other, circumstantial ways to tell as well. If you're trying to scam people with DudeBro Cryptocurrency, you necessarily reveal the address you use when you send our your spam or scams. If I send malware from notactuallydiotima@proton.me, the proof that I sent the malware does not require you to see my server stored mail; you can just look at your own copy to see.
“Only because of that official investigation did Canadians learn that ‘over 5 million nonconsenting Canadians’ were scanned into Cadillac Fairview’s database”. Wow....
Aah, the infamous "they." The enemy, the other, who is both villain supreme and the means to justify inaction.
Voting in the US works at the local level, arguably sometimes at the state level. I've seen it work. That it doesn't work at the higher levels has less to do with conspiracy and everything to do with the fact that (in the U.S. at least) both Democrats and Republicans have been colluding to close out opposition for years. That has nothing to do with capitalism and everything to do with power. Absent active engagement, every system falls to greed and power.
If you truly believed that "gender is meaningless" as you say, this would not be a problem. What you really mean is "I dislike that gender is no longer binary and I'm going to create strawman arguments to hide that fact."
No, she appears to be saying that you lack the knowledge mecessary to particpate in an adult conversation. I would tend to concur, given your comments and post history. Drag queens wear makeup for as many reasons as there are drag queens.
It is alarming that you cannot grasp the most basic understanding of the fights feminism has fought for years. You think drag queens, of all people, are responsible for "bogus notions of femaleness?"
Look, bigot. Just say what you mean. "I hate drag queens and trans women."
You know, you can make up all of the utter bullshit you like, but that still doesn't make it true. So let's translate:
"I see trans people as perpetuating and enforcing categories" - This is you being transphobic. Gender has always been categorical; your problem is not with categorization but with non-CIS genders specifically.
"I am in this new category of female myself." - This is you not even really grasping the concepts on which you're attempting to build an argument. "Female" is not a gender.
"New category" - Tell me you hate trans women without telling me.
"According to drag queen land" - So you don't even grasp the difference between a drag queen and a trans woman? Again, go back and cure your ignorance before opening your trap.
"I don't wear makeup" - Good for you? Drag queens aren;t the ones gatekeeping femininity, you bigot.
Democrats have all the spontaneity of the House of Windsor. Or, closer to home, they’re closer to what Republicans once were, a party that falls in line not in love.
Given that the system is heavily skewed toward incumbency, your comment is a bit disingenuous. We both know that the DNC intended Biden to run. He had the advantage of thier coffers, thier PR machine, and the support of their leadership. Implying that the playing field was at all fair ignores reality.
I do agree, though, that Biden's many faults are his own. His most recent failure, support for ethnic cleansing and denial of aid to refugees, should have made him unelectable by the party that claims to be pro-human rights... but here we are, with him as the best of two terrible candidates.
Biden is talking out of both sides of his mouth. He hand wrings over refugees while cutting 350 million in aid to relief efforts. He pretends to seek a ceasefire while providing monetary and equipment to a campaign of ethnic cleansing.
That he is the "best" likely choice in the next US election is utterly embarrassing.

I've made the "promotion later" mistake once. I was as new at what I do as he was; taught me not to trust corps to do the right thing if it isn't in writing and even then, not.
Hmm , in 2020 the interest rates for buying a house was around 3.1%, now it's around 6.8%. When we're pricing people out of the ability to afford housing (interest rates going up affects rent prices too, who knew) people will be rather upset... especially given that they see little to no benefit from this "good economy" given the layoffs in certain sectors, the gas prices being over 9000, and not one, but two wars abroad where at least one of the parties in each is perfectly fine targeting civilians.
But hey, at least Google and Amazon are raking in the profits, I guess.
Saying that "Lemmy" is an echo chamber is a bit ignorant. Lemmy is a platform; it can he used to spin up an instance with whatever values you like. The fediverse is the same. So saying Lemmy is an echo chamber is a bit like boycotting wood because a politician you dislike stood on a stage to speak.
Having said that, there are instances with heavy political biases. You can block those from your instance and you can block them from you feed.
And he won't because he's 100% onboard with this, which is both disappointing and unsurprising. The only way we get better policy is to elect better candidates.
"Closing the border" is a meaningless statement where the southern US border is concerned. More than a thousand miles of border, much of it sparsely inhabited, and he's going to secure it all?
Now that the "official" stuff is out of the way, here are some things to consider:
Maps during similar periods of Earth history have been laughably inaccurate, so we assume that Faerunian cartographers are offering "best estimate" distances. This is supported by real-world evidence. As this enterprising gamer has noted in detail, changes to maps distances have been substantial. Between the old Forgotten Realms Interactive Atlas and the official 5E map, distances are often off by up to 20 miles; it even puts BG as around 17 miles north of the Chionthar!
It goes without saying, but take these map as aids, not as a hard and fast requirement for your own campaign.
So... fudge the distances if you need to; these maps are off by nearly 20 miles in some places! Elturel is 15 miles further east on this old map versus the newer map, for example, and there's a similar distance discrepancy between Trollclaw and Baldur's Gate. So... there's wiggle room, even if you're trying to be 'official.'
For me, I prefer to place Moonrise 15-17 miles west of the Grove. Having it a mere 7 miles away seems a bit too close.
The Grove being 21 miles east of Elturel DOES make sense and is consistent with my original estimates (the 200 miles here is very close to the 200 "by river" I measured before) ; that's between a day and a day and a half of travel on trails through mountainous terrain.
Except that's not true. Somehow, 23andme missed the almost certainly anomalous activity on thier network that lead to the extraction of 6.9 million users' data. Missing the activity associated with the massive data dump, designing thier system to allow for that? 100% thier fault.
One should not be able to use a set of hacked accounts to dump that much data. That's a design flaw.
