There is an intellectual burden to behaving against your nature/wishes. It's reasonable to expect them to not want to do that. We just need to show them the cost is more than just external, which certainly isn't happening at an institutional level in the States right now. You'd think reminding someone who's voting to kick out illegal immigrants that that group included members of their own family wouldn't be harder than Homer remembering that Lisa needs braces, though.

I don't get nearly as much gaming time as I'd like, but I just finished Dex and am playing Drova: Forgotten Kin. I have a bit of a completionist attitude, so I'll be on Drova for a while.
If I'm looking for a round with a clearly defined goal I'll put a session into Hardspace Shipbreaker, and I usually log some hours (4 to 20) into Elite Dangerous every week.
Then allow me to rephrase. Checking if the forbidden thing has been done is often easier than checking if the thing which is allowed, but with many caveats and conditions, has been done correctly.
I see you're focusing on semantics, and not the issues raised, which i can only assume is because you have no valid response to the issues and not the wording.
I already don't have time to play all the games I want to play. Narrowing that list somewhat isn't going to change that for me, so why not Linux?
Pretty sure this was me the last time I tried Linux gaming before buying the Steam Deck. One more problem solved before I upgrade Windows 10.
A lack of regulations can mean "anything goes," as in unregulated, or "nothing of this sort is acceptable," as in illegal. Checking if the illegal thing has been done is often easier than checking if the regulated thing has been done correctly, so making things that are easily abused illegal makes sense if the consequences of breaking those regulations, such as a global depression, are too great.
It also assumes that businesses won't do anything they think they can get away with if they think it will make a buck. Given just how many times that has happened, saying regulators will catch any attempts to sidestep those rules is fairly optimistic, in my opinion.
She certainly won't blame climate change...
I don't remove responsibility from the people, but don't pretend that companies don't spend piles of cash on marketing when it has absolutely no influence on their customers' purchasing decisions. Also, don't pretend that marketing isn't pandering to appeal and not function.
You can buy a bottle of sparkling wine for $20.
There are a lot of things wrong with prison, starting with throwing people who don't behave into a cage and treating them like animals and ending with taking people who clearly weren't socialized properly and doing nothing to socialize them. And frankly, learning how to deal with the opposite sex appropriately is a key part of socialization. If prisoner rehabilitation was taken seriously, at least partially desegregated prisons would make a lot of sense.
