Is that the whataboutism they keep accusing us of?

Radiation, in this context, is light. Everything from old school AM radio, to microwaves, to infrared, to visible light, to UV, and finally gamma rays are all just photons. For light, there are two energy metrics: how much energy the individual photons have, and how many photons are being emitted per unit of time. Only the energy level of the individual photons determine if the radiation is ionizing, as in, powerful enough to rip electrons off what it hits, including important molecules like DNA. Ionizing radiation starts at the UV range, so anything below that is not ionizing. This is why you can get skin cancer from UV but no amount of visible light can cause cancer. And microwaves are well below even visible light so they aren't ionizing either.
Also, Wi-Fi and cellular networks operate in the microwave range. In fact, your microwave oven is 2.4 GHz, which is what older Wi-Fi equipment exclusively used, which is why your Wi-Fi connection used to crap out when you microwaved something. The reason you don't feel your hand heating up from the microwave rariation coming out of your phone is because the number of microwave photons per second being emitted by your phone is far less than a microwave oven. Your phone's antennas are 1 or 2 watts while your microwave is over 1000 watts.
Another case of piracy having far superior user experience compared to the legal, honest way of playing the game, not because piracy is intrinsically better but because the publisher deliberately makes the official experience as inconvenient and exploitative as possible.
I used to have a git repo in my emulator's save directory so I could have checkpoints that I can restore to if I ever get stuck.
Does Pokemon have microtransactions now? If so, I wouldn't be surprised if they deliberately made the transfer mechanism buggy so some kid loses all their Pokemon and their parents are forced to buy them back to get them to stop crying.
This is why the "nothing to hide nothing to fear" line is bullshit. You can be a model citizen and there will still be people actively trying to use your data to harm you.
Would you leave your door unlocked just because you're not hiding illegal activity in your house?
You can fit millions of books on a chip the size of your fingernail.
The nearly 5,000 soldiers in Los Angeles detained one man, briefly. Was that worth $134 million and a constitutional crisis?
Yes.
Because it sets a precedence. Trump's MO has been to try more and more insane shit until the bar for what's normal shifts so far that people get desensitized and start thinking all of this is fine.
It's also shown that the systems that are supposed to be in place to stop things like this don't actually work. The first time someone in the government actually tried to defy those systems, they all either failed to kick in to begin with or were easily shut down or bypassed. Which is music to fascist ears.
All of this has been a massive success for Trump, Musk, and fascism in general. Meanwhile even mainstream anti-Trump media has been burying their head in the sand pretending that Trump is incompetent and has not done anything meaningful toward fascism, when in reality he's been getting everything he wants. That should be terrifying to everyone else yet it really seems that most people in the US, even those against Trump, just aren't getting it and are just trying to wait out the four years as if he'll actually step down then.

That's exactly why they're trying to ban it.

Obviously I'm not saying I want Israli civilians killed. I don't want that any more than I want Iranians and Palestinians killed.
That said, I'm finding it really hard to feel any sympathy for them.

Even if he did, are we pretending this congress will say no? When they haven't so much as even objected to all the other blatantly illegal shit he's done?
