Weren’t those violent though? Or maybe I’m thinking of something else. The COVID era memories kinda blur together in my brain. I definitely remember a lot of destruction around that time though

Ah, thanks for the explanation. That totally makes sense. If forced to choose a foreign entity to harvest my data, I’d prefer the one least likely to share my data with my government too.

thats not what they said did they?

Is it not? They said they’re “more concerned” with American companies harvesting data. Doesn’t that mean that, given the choice between the US and China harvesting their data, they’d choose China because it concerns them less? Did I misunderstand it?

they said they are more concerned about American companies harvesting their data as they live in Europe and don’t have as much affinity to China.

Actually, they didn’t say this part:

and don’t have as much affinity to China.

They answered my question with a more specific explanation though, and now I understand. In their position, I’d probably choose China too.

Just curious: Why would you prefer your data to be harvested in China vs. the US?

Edit: I’m also genuinely curious about why this question is getting downvoted. Is it offensive or something? I meant no harm to anyone.

I once had a great bond with an eclectus. It took a lot of work, but when I finally earned her trust, we were great friends.

One day, I trimmed her nails, and it destroyed our friendship 😔 If you get one, have someone else trim its nails so it doesn’t hate you. Parrots can really hold a grudge.

I understand why you might think that, but that really doesn’t apply to a parrot and their noise.

Btw, an eclectus can (and probably will, regularly) emit sounds loud enough to make your ears ring. They’re meant to be heard over long distances outside in the open. Inside the walls of a home, it’s crazy loud.

Edit to add: They also make the noises when you’re not even home. It has nothing to do with treats.

🙋🏻‍♂️ Dumb question: What is being protested? What would the result of a “successful” protest be?

Fun fact: This isn’t the first time they’ve worked together and broke up. IIRC, Trump choose Musk for some advisory role during his first term (I don’t remember what, specifically). Musk resigned because Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord.

Where can I learn more about this stuff?
