In my wife's family and mine, there's a 100% causal rate between caring for ourselves and how long we life.
We can smoke & drink and die at 53 - 67 or not and be in good health in our mid 80s. We can debate what makes up happy but everyone is 0% happy when they're dead.

An editor who feels marketing is another form of journalism is like a dermatologist who feels cancer is an alternative form of healthy skin cells.
A generation ago, young men knew cops were more likely to be thugs than allies.
During a traffic stop, I'd put my keys on the dashboard, to preemptively calm a cop who might wound up over things that happened earlier in his day.
When more than 2 cruisers pulled me over (say 10 or 25), I'd try to place the car where pulling away would be impossible and then put my keys on the roof. That didn't stop cops from threatening to beat me but they never followed through with it (at least not with me).
My county had maybe the largest LEA budget in the nation, without enough crime to spend it on. Cops sometimes got bored and with a large enough show of force, they might be able so jar a long-haired 19yo kid into volunteering all sorts of information.
That's just how life was. There were some cops that were consistently ethical and compassionate but most were likely to do whatever they wanted.
It's not like there was anything that could stop them.
If this were a Republican administration, do you think the Legacy Press would hold Holder accountable for his poor execution of duties - at least a little bit?
I remember having this discussion 5 years ago. Antivirus vendors were colluding with commercial keylogger makers, while red-flagging legit admin tools as malicious.
There's no way to be sure that every installation of ComputerCOP's keylogger is with fully informed permission of the computer owner.
Since this tool can be used to log keystrokes without the owner's consent, antivirus vendors have an obligation to include ComputerCOP in their signatures.

Excuse me Tim? What kind of a sanctimonious, self-righteous narcissist are you to imply that porn isn't wholesome anytime, anywhere?
Your post FAILS to defend porn. Only a a right-wing, closeted, gay, homophobe (that wants to legislate everyone's morality from the Bohemian Grove bunker built by their 700 Club boyfriends) doesn't fully embrace porn.

Blocking trackers is the same good idea as blocking ads because the industries behind ads/trackers do not police themselves well enough to have earned our trust.
Found a 2014 Harris GSA price list. It lists the Harpoon cell tracker and accessories inc Amberjack (ant), Gossamer(?), Moray-II(?), etc Upgrade-to-Harpoon costs from Stingray I/II and Kingfish X1-X5, the AN/USC65(V)5 Sat Terminal and bunches of ancillary products.
It's good to respond to a corrupt system by expanding the corruption
Synopsis: Google helps expand government corruption by adding it's own lobbying cash to the mountain.
But that's OK. Google should expand and legitimize corruption because that might unwind .0000001% of the damage it caused.
Here's my rebuttal. Trading Federal laws/policy for campaign contributions isn't a good system. It isn't even a neutral system. It's an exploitative, unethical system of extortion.
The article implies that it's fine to keep strengthening the monster that will one day victimize our grandchildren, because there's an off chance that we we might get back some morsel of Liberty it ripped away from us.

Antivirus vendors were colluding with commercial keylogger makers, while red-flagging legit admin tools as malicious.
At the time, Emsisoft was the only major A/V company who definitively said they didn't whitelist commercial keyloggers.
