I frequently take a dumb.
Facebook sends any messages it can to the police when they request so. Woman and her daughter were sent to prison for coordinating daughter's abortion over Fbook Messenger, which is also supposed to be E2EE:
The counter-argument about "the end of human civilization" is so hollow to me. I mean, what benefit does human civilization bring to anyone other than humans? It's a circular argument. There's no inherent need or reason for homo sapiens to continue ad infinitum. We could save literally countless other species by letting the single most destructive one die out.
Now, do I want to actively end the life of myself or anyone I know? Of course not. But at the same time I'm also never, ever having kids.
Much of the developed world is sliding into fascism because of climate change-driven migration. Environmentally, every decade for the foreseeable future will be worse than the one that preceded it. The technology that was supposed to make our lives better and easier is instead used to depress wages, or simply mechanize away jobs.
And all the while, most of those in positions of power - and their most loyal voters - are dead set against a universal basic income, instead opting for ever more oppressive wage slavery, simply because profits have to grow every quarter in spite of their natural tendency to decline.
These trends, along with many others, mean that the average child born in a developed nation today can more often than not expect a lower standard of living than that of their parents. And that pattern has no reason to reverse. The people running the world into oblivion have suckered too many rubes to go along with them via a false sense of cultural solidarity and hostility toward anyone they're told not to like.
The line is going down. It's been going down since the neoliberal turn, and nothing we do will pull it back up at this point. Too many global biophysical and socio-political systems have been broken in a self-reinforcing manner to revive the vitality of this planet as long as we continue to inhabit it. The best I personally can hope for is some global-scale healing to begin a couple hundred years after we're gone.
The most worthwhile comparison is of the surface area, excluding crust. Crust quotient must be disregarded.
Then why did they invent stuffed crust?
I wish I could award you with fake Internet points.
2 12" pizzas are 112.5% the surface area of as single 18" pizza.
Pizza place that just opened up down the street from me only offers one size:
18 inches.
The other option is to purchase by the slice.
I actually liked it better when it sucked more. I have no idea why. Maybe I identified it as college comfort food.
Well then I guess Penn & Teller's BS series is actually the Dark Side version of Mythbusters.
Loved both of those shows. Learned how to cheat on a polygraph from the Penn & Teller show.

I wonder if this surgery would be illegal in Texas.
