I think they think most users are absolutely stupid. I have rooted my phones for far over a decade and never have exploded my own phone or deleted something I absolutely needed in the OS. Sometimes, their absolutist mentality crosses into fear mongering.

Nice & Thanks.
You are right. But some people literally do take Marx's words as Dogma. I met a few IRL.
How are they lies? Honestly asking. What facts can you put forth?
I can see SK being late to the game of polling in this context. They were culturally more Conservative and no major changes happened until after about the 2010's. Once more of the West's culture began bleeding into theirs thanks to the Internet which them bled back into ours.
UK and Germany are likely to have longer polls. Plus, they do not vote like the USA. UK is pretty Right wing comperatively speaking, and Germany has been pretty Left leaning for 20+ years. As I follow their politics.
I think it could be perceived as vague since the charts lack the above cultural reference points so albeit the changes are likely correct, their actual starting points are likely different and relative to themselves over being a 1:1 absolute to all. We would have to see the methology of how they did the polls. But the trends are likely correct.
As far as the USA, looking at the last election results by demographic seems to track with the USA chart. Specially among minorities.
In my experience, if the show has nothing going after say 2-3 episodes, at most, then why bother?
Starting slow and being bad are not the same. Breaking Bad was good from the get go. Even if it was not as good as later seasons. Most great shows start well and get better. Few are terrible and magically doe a 180° in a couple of 1st Season episodes.
This is a bit of a bullshit take.
Let me explain for full context: Anyone who works or knows about the Lithium industry knows that the water amount used in brine processing is astronomical and creates a lot of pollution, too. To claim that it will use ridiculois amounts of water, and that it will strain water supplies, today in 2025, is borderline stupid when we have known this since day 1, at least over a decade ago.
It is literally one of those things that it is never mentioned in any of your typical Environmental ads or policies or EV commercials, ever. Like ever. Which borders not on the lack of transparency but just being dishonest.
Google, "Lithium ponds." They look pretty but they are deadly, even more so if they leak literally anywhere, or even worse, onto waterways or the water table. If an animal, say a bird lands on it, they just die shortly.
Political messaging aside, this is one of the best DS9 episodes to watch. If you never watched DS9, it is a great Sci-Fi series.
Reception
In 2018, CBR rated "In Purgatory's Shadow" paired with "By Inferno's Light", as the 9th best multi episode story arc of all Star Trek.[2]
In 2015, Geek.com recommended this episode as "essential watching" for their abbreviated Star Trek: Deep Space Nine binge-watching guide.[3]
In 2020, The Digital Fix ranked "In Purgatory's Shadow" and "By Inferno's Light" as the fourth best episode(s) of Deep Space Nine. They call the episodes an "epic two-parter" that took the show's "long-running narrative to another level" and praised the various plot lines and reveals.[4]
Quite true. The only stuff we know so far for sure comes from the Panama Papers Leak.
Some quick points but feel free to read the rest.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his partners in comedy production owned a network of offshore companies related to their business based in the British Virgin Islands, Cyprus, and Belize.
Zelensky’s current chief aide, Serhiy Shefir, as well as the head of the country’s Security Service, were part of the offshore network.
Offshore companies were used by Shefir and another business partner to buy pricey London real estate.
Around the time of his 2019 election, Zelensky handed his shares in a key offshore company over to Shefir, but the two appear to have made an arrangement for Zelensky’s family to continue receiving money from the offshore.
Or eating random, wild mushrooms.
True, it is simple to use but no one who is a normie will ever use it. I have offered to help but if it is not in their workflow they won't even try if they do not care about privacy. Which few do.
Literally Jews pushing the German government that is centre-Left to help them call other Jews anti-semetic. As it pushes for Germany to continue sending weapons and money to kill Palestinians.
Legal experts told me that invoking Staatsräson in deportation proceedings is legally dubious. A recent parliamentary review reached a similar conclusion, noting that Staatsräson – often cited to justify Germany’s foreign policy toward Israel, including the plan of the incoming chancellor, Friedrich Merz, to invite Benjamin Netanyahu despite an active international criminal court arrest warrant – carries no legally enforceable weight.
Abraham said he had planned to return to Israel the day after the closing ceremony, but that he changed his plans during a stop-off in Greece, when he learned that Israeli media outlets were describing his speech as antisemitic, with some citing German officials.
As well as receiving death threats on social media, Abraham said several individuals turned up at his family members’ home in Israel, causing them to vacate the premises out of fear for their safety.
Sure. But this is more about Zelenskyy, and his friends's level of corruption. I mean, shell companies, or in this case, offshore companies is literally the standard issue method of money laundering or tax evasion. There is a reason why reporters investigating the Panama Papers have been murdered.
I mean, after all, if you are not aware, he literally ran on a platform to go after oligarchs, while he himself was funded by Ukraine's largest oligarch. I mean, I would agree that is funny. Although I am, not sure if a lot of people in the USA knew that.
