On biometrics btw: they're worse against police who could force you to unlock the phone, but if your worry is someone seeing your pin, biometrics fixes that

You can restart the phone or activate lockdown mode before going to bed and be safe from someone sneaking your finger print

You can want or need privacy without it being nefarious in some way

Locking your phone, setting it to auto lock, using biometrics so the pin is hard to steal, etc are all perfectly reasonable things to do. You have a right to privacy

If you have abusive and technically skilled family who have been caught spying on you with technical means, worrying they might do it again would be reasonable

If you constantly worry about something that you have no tangible reason to consider a credible threat, it might be some other issue, from anxiety to OCD. Perhaps try to talk to a professional?

Ukraine had a negotiated peace before the 2022 invasion, after the 2014 invasion. Why would a 2025 negotiated peace be any more reliable?

I don't think the average American has that level of planning. It's more likely people just don't like Russia invading other countries willy nilly

Covid happened. It hit most countries like that. Now he's trying to balance things again, against intense opposition

The root cause is not recent. The french have been overspending for decades. Look at the debt to GDP ratio over time.

Wait, people narrate the words in their head? That must be insanely slow
