I have no issue with security devices requiring some sort of approval (which should be made available to self service), but devices like the screen, camera, battery, buttons, memory/storage, ports, speakers, etc, should be allowed whether or not they are factory.

I was basically going to say the same thing, they'll vote anyway, party over policy. It doesn't matter what they propose. As long as Democrats disagree with it, their constituents will vote for it, standard team-driven advertising.

Most voters don't care about politics at all, we just want what everyone else wants - a chance at opportunity, some form of health care and social security, you know, the good life. We can all pretty much agree on that and it's really not that interesting a topic. So, politicians turn politics into a sports game because that's what people care about and engage with, sports and competition, our old friend, Ego.

Follow your heart, not your ego.

Both forests and their koala populations were hit hard by the 2019-20 bushfires.

Not sure I'd be able to sleep all that well logging those trees after the forest fires. Looking at those pictures of fire fighters and volunteer rescuers giving water to burned and injured koalas was heart breaking.

complications with circumcision happen more often than instances of it being beneficial

That's just not true, my dude.

The American Academy of Pediatrics states that "the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks and that the procedure’s benefits justify access to this procedure for families who choose it. Specific benefits identified included prevention of urinary tract infections, penile cancer, and transmission of some sexually transmitted infections, including HIV."

I'm all for choice on this topic. But they shouldn't even call it female circumcision, as there's no medical benefit to such a procedure, and such practice should only be referred to as female genital mutilation (or cutting).

Cultural and ascetic opinions aside, male circumcision is objectively medically beneficial.
