My wife had my first when I was 39. I wish I had had kids sooner. I love going to minor hockey games and taking to my daughter about her crafts and school.

Thou art forbidden to covet thy neighbours wife,

Thou art forbidden to covet the ox that he bought her,

But thank the lord that thou aren't forbidden to convet thy neighbours daughter.

Biden is NOT a liberal or progressive. He's just less of a fascist than the GOP. He lives in a world where more than 100 million people swallow anything the GOP forces into their mouths.

That's just their cover story for their base. It's actually about protecting the US auto and oil and gas industries and keeping profits flowing to the right people.

The corporate christofascists and their GOP stooges are doing everything they can to stop electric vehicle production and adoption in the US. They're doing the same thing with renewable energy. It's all about keeping the money flowing to the rich for at long as possible no matter what the long term costs to the country, the planet, or the non-wealthy. Most ofter countries not run by corporate fascists are adopting EVs and renewable as fast as they can. The US is going to become a dirty, underdeveloped country run by theocratic dictators and there is very little that can be done to stop it and very little time to do it.

Can I use my dick head?

"You want me to unlock my phone? I used the head of my erect penis. I'm not going to get it up myself. Knock yourself the fuck out."

The other problem with biometrics is you can't change them. With the OPM breach a few years ago they lost 5.6 million finger prints. Those finger prints are now useless since they are in the wild and can't be changed. Not a problem for your average phone user but in my world that's a really big deal. In my world biometrics are a convenience and convenience is bad for security.

As long as you've considered and accepted the risks you're good.

You've done a threat and risk assessment and decided that the inconvenience of uninstalling or disabling the app is with accepting the risk of your device being competing and your data stolen or ransomed, your banking or other credentials being stolen, your friends, family, and other contacts being targeted, and your employer being put at risk if you use your device for work. That's an acceptable way of handling the situation. You can always accept the risk.

That's a threat and risk assessment. You've decided you're willing to accept the risk of anyone being able to unlock your phone. For me, I'm not really worried about someone in the street strong arming me. I'm more worried about a state actor, border guard, police officer, etc demanding that I unlock my phone. They can physically compel you to unlock your phone by pointing it at your face or putting your finger on the pad but they cannot compel you to give them your password.

You're exposing yourself to unpatched vulnerabilities for convenience instead of updating or deleting the app. If you lose half the functionality because of an update it's time to find a new app in my books.

Something like that. Hardened personal devices in one and things like TVs and game consoles in the other.

Yup. Also having an agreement that an X from any family member means they are uncomfortable or in trouble and you should call them in one minute, tell them that there is an emergency, and you need to pick them up right now. Get them safe and don't ask questions unless they want to talk.
