What you're seeing as "big stars" are really just the biggest outliers. I don't know how reliable of a source it is, but from here it says that the average person on onlyfans makes $180 per month, and that 75% of all the creators make less than $100 per month.

Another source I found that's a little more recent says that they're earning slightly more than that, but not by much.

That's... probably not enough? I don't think $200/year for each electric vehicle would be anywhere close to paying for road maintenance.

But how do you count “didn’t vote”?

I didn't, that's voter turnout and probably won't be fully available till all the votes are counted. If you're impatient though, here's the washington post comparing 2024 voter turnout to 2020.

TikTok is addicting and decrease your physical and mental health, it could be a potential manipulation tool and spying tool. Costs overshadow profits.

How is any of that different for any other social media platform? And why is TikTok the only one being banned?

Your link about social media addiction has a similar page for every other social media site, and your link about data harvesting says

Researchers studied the app's source code and reported it carries out "excessive data harvesting". Analysts said TikTok collects details such as location, what specific device is being used and which other apps are on it.

However, a similar test carried out by Citizen Lab concluded "in comparison to other popular social media platforms, TikTok collects similar types of data to track user behaviour".

Similarly, a report by the Georgia Institute of Technology last year stated: "The key fact here is that most other social media and mobile apps do the same things."

So only banning tiktok tells me that it's fine for people to be addicted to social media and have their data stolen, but only if it's an American company doing it.

If I'm reading this chart correctly, each penny is only 2.5% copper.

So what does it mean for children on vegan and vegetarian diets?

This doesn’t mean every child who follows these diets is going to have these nutritional and health benefits or problems. And we also can’t say whether these problems will persist into adulthood.

But it does highlight potential risks which health practitioners and parents need to be aware of. And it’s a reminder to either find suitable replacements that align with the family’s diet philosophy, or prescribe supplements if a deficiency is diagnosed through a blood test.

In particular, parents and caregivers need to be careful their children are maintaining a good intake of protein from a variety of vegan sources (beans, lentils, nuts) and calcium (from calcium supplemented plant milks).

Whether you’re following a vegan, vegetarian or meat-eating diet, you still need to make sure the diet is balanced across all food groups.

I get it might not be easy, especially if you're just starting out, but "hardest possible thing to do safely" seems like a stretch.

Then why are you here, trying to start arguments?

'My personal health has declined to the point where I really need to start taking care of it. Throughout the entire project, we haven't shared it with you, but I've been in and out of the doctor's office.'

From the article. He was going to a doctor throughout the entire "experiment".

weather.gov works fine, thanks

Alright, so monero is good for coffee, maple syrup, and meat bars (?!). I don't currently eat a lot of any of those things, so I'm not sure how this will help me with my groceries.

So if I'm understanding you correctly, you went from

you still have to account for the fact that covid might kill an old person that would otherwise die to influenza in a month or two

thinking covid wasn't causing any/many additional deaths per year, just speeding them up a little

to providing a graph that shows thousands of extra people are dying each year

The increase of 2022 and 2021 was expected due to general decline of normal viruses (caused by covid measurements)

to saying all those extra deaths were because people weren't getting sick from normal diseases, despite us not seeing much of a drop in 2020 from people not getting those diseases during the covid restrictions. But now that the restrictions are lifted and they're being exposed to those normal diseases (and covid) again, all/most of theses extra deaths are from the normal diseases and have nothing to do with covid.

Norway absolutely did a better job at handling covid than the US, but the US's death rate seems to just be permanently higher now as a direct result of covid. Maybe removing all restrictions was the right thing to do, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that it comes at the cost of several thousand more people dying each year, just in Norway.

I do find it interesting that creatures being themselves is more problematic than all of the murder, torture, abuse and pain the characters experience.

I don't even know what you're referring to here. Are you thinking that the abuse the house elves are subjected to is not as bad as them "wanting" to be enslaved?

as long as the story gives something to think about, im happy with it.

I'm not convinced. You don't seem to really want to think about the story. We're shown, very clearly, that at least some of the elves want to be free, but the very next time they're brought up we're told "no, elves were born to be slaves. Slavery is their natural state, don't question it or try to change anything," which just might be more indicative of the author injecting her worldview than a good point about respecting others' cultures.

In conclusion: im a white male slave apologist and i should be cancelled. oh and i probably support trump too. i must be really dumb and brainwashed if i enjoy a book about wizards with a character named “Cho Chang” or whatever else is in your videos.

Your persecution fetish is showing.
