Now a days it's as much about the security and OS updates. Not saying you can't run on an outdated OS, but you will eventually get left behind. Definitely not an "every two" concern, but 6+ years it certainly can be. Google/Samsung(flagship models)/Apple generally have a 5-7 year update, but a lot of the rest usually only cover a few years.

With any company, you'll have to take them at their word, but they claim they don't share, sell, or train on your conversations. It looks like it isn't local, with them stating they use end-to-end encryption and cannot even see your data.

No, I read and comprehended what you wrote. You appear to want to make it mean something else after the fact.

That only became relevant after you started to disparage me. I said I didn't expect anything because of being AC. That means, neither good or bad. I drew no assumptions.

You can talk out your ass all you want. I was sincere, and straight forward in my initial interaction. You opted to completely ignore the reality of what I said to double down on where you were wrong. All you've succeeded in doing is proving that the Troll moniker was in fact accurate.

I agree it's a big part of it, but it absolutely isn't entirely because of that. They likely got down voted because others felt the same way.

I mean, I didn't expect much of anything from an AC. However, I did at least attempt to treat you like you were sincere. Apparently, I just wasted my time.

Now you're just moving the goal post. You said political corruption, now you're saying human corruption. Regardless, one of the causes is population growth. While humans obvious have some say as to whether they procreate, choosing to do so is not in of itself a sign of corruption. While corruption can affect population growth, it's not the sole or even main driving factor.

And as I said, that is only one of multiple causes. It is not just because of corruption.

I think it was marked Troll because it very clearly is not only simple corruption "full stop". The article itself mentions multiple causes, but does include privatization meaning more money going to shareholders and less into infrastructure.

Samsung has two models of phones with foldable displays. Not the only manufacturer, but easiest to reference and leader of the market. There is the larger Fold, and the smaller Flip. The smaller Flip more or less mimics the older flip phones but with a folding display. In general usage, I think foldable = larger and flip = smaller.

I admitted where I was wrong. I explained how it happened. At least I'm not acting like a fucking tool like you. Maybe next time, don't be a fucking asshole.

And just to further add to it. You can say "first sentence" all you want, lets also be clear. It was also almost 30 words in.

How does me admitting I missed it somehow me not getting it? What the fuck is wrong with your brain?

You can keep saying that, but it doesn't make it any more true with regards to PayPal in this instance. I already originally stated that the acquiring bank was concerned about Mastercard. Not forced by Mastercard, just not willing to risk it with Mastercard. PayPal is not Mastercard. PayPal did not instigate this particular mess. Valve is on record confirming that.

I did read the linked EO, and then re-read sections. Your last quote even includes part of exactly what I was talking about. You bolded all but the last few words, which completely change the meaning.

for political reasons

There is no oxford comma before "or disfavors for political reasons" so that means it can apply to that whole section. Given the purpose section appears to be less vague, after examples showing me where I missed, it might not be that likely

Now, I originally stated my points were based upon my reading of the EO. You have provided examples of what I missed, and I'm more than happy to say that it's on me for missing it in my reading. The whole EO spends a lot more time covering the political/religious aspect. That isn't me still trying to throw the EO under the bus, only explanation for how it was missed. I will miss a few words here and there when I read through things, and usually a couple passes over the relevant spots will catch it. That wasn't the case here. I clearly saw the part in definitions mentioned above. I read the sentences in the purpose section and missed the last bit covering lawful activities.

Do you have any actual proof for this specific case? Because even Valve says it's PayPal's banking partner, and not PayPal themselves.
