its a bit of an unfair comparison if you consider the two colors competitors because the app added hair thickness in some places and added new hair where there was none as well, since the hair is only dyed part way up it would be pretty safe to assume that new hair would come in at a generally similar thickness as well as some of the hair in the faceapp picture never being there at all because its not a small amount of non-existent computer generated hair in some places.

and again, claiming that immigrants and annexed people are the same is a false equivelency, claiming that an annexed, conquered people choosing not to die for nothing means they should assimilate to the culture of the belligerent faction is also morally questionable and is indirectly supporting the actions of the american government to wipe out the native american culture through kidnapping their children because its the same exact situation just with the confederates didnt have their culture wiped after they were defeated.

calling surrendering choosing to come back is similar to saying the the various people who have been enslaved throughout history chose to be slaves because they didnt all fight it to death.
"Which alone invalidates the idea they’d be willing to die"
that's not how it works mate, saying "oh they surrendered when they realized they lost means them being willing to die is invalid" is illogical and arguably disingenuous. Being willing to die for something doesnt mean you have to be willing to die when its glaringly obvious you wouldnt actually be dying for it or else you arent actually willing to die for it. Being willing to die for something doesnt mean you have to be willing to die for nothing.
that's at BEST a true Scotsman fallacy.
"a big, white, surrender flag."
thats being purposefully antagonistic. "hey you surrendered so your historic heritage is surrender"
"rebellious spirit" great joke, now wheres your real justification that isnt patently wrong?

the only thing i have to add is that immigrants choose to come to a county and a group that was effectively annexed back into a county did not choose to be part of the culture and actively opposed being part of said country to the point of being willing to die for it.

even if you do worry, remember that chances are an eruption wouldn't be this spectacular super eruption that, there isnt even enough liquid magma in the dormant volcano to do anything even news worthy

the children weren't human children, the way hags make new hags is to eat human children. After they eat a child some hag magic lets them give birth to a new hag child that looks exactly like a human child until they hit 13 years of age.
they just "saved" a bunch of hag children that will turn into identical copies of the hags they killed.

One good example of the issue being more complex than just planting trees is the heightened average temperatures not killing off wood beetles in the winter which has killed more than half of the trees on some hills and at a minimum of around a 1/4th of the tree coverage being gone.
You can't just plant more of the same trees, the beetles will just kill those too. You can't just add a new species of tree to the ecosystem without causing cascading changes to the whole area and good luck getting it to stick.

350 million trees isn't a lot on a grand scale, you'd have to plant 20 million trees a day for the rest of time to offset the carbon emissions of just the United States assuming it doesn't change for the rest of time, a one and done of 350 million trees is nothing but, at its best, a publicity stunt to raise awareness of the issue and I really doubt they framed it that way.

Education is, from a certain point of view, only good for improving your quality of life, understanding more jokes and enjoying more jokes will be a measurable increase in quality of life that will provide at minimum some benefit where as other forms of quality of life improvements such as getting a better job aren't as solid in the fact they will definitely happen so really that function of education is more important than others for the individual

i mean, from my perspective it takes maybe a week to undo the damage done by using hair dye cause you only need the hair to grow out a little bit for you to cut the damaged hair off and have fresh new hair growing in under it, tho i presume the reason you say years is because your usage of "undone" means to have the hair be exactly the same length as it was before it was dyed.

cheating in a single player game isnt cheating unless you are doing something official like a no-exploit speedrun category. Its playing a single player experience in the way the person finds fun, there is no such thing as cheating in that unless the person playing, and only the person playing, feels like a certain thing is cheating and that extends to anything in the game even if its some legitimate tactic that requires no exploits or cheats or anything and is just a bit OP.

human hermaphrodites dont exist or at least have yet to exist, in the case that a human is born with both sets of bits only one set will work properly (both sets working properly is a requirement for something to be correctly defined as a hermaphrodite) simply because of how human sex organs are formed, the way a human forms, the sex organs are formed of the same bit of material and that material just changes to a different form based on what its told to form into once the new human's programming decides what sex its going to be, this is the same reason that males have nipples, they are formed before the new human's programming decides what sex its going to be.

just so this isnt only the words of someone on the internet, have some by a professional stylist/colorist that works on celebrities hair, George Papanikolas.
-
Papanikolas says the only guaranteed way to restore your hair's health back to its pre-colored state is to cut off the previously colored, bleached, or damaged hair and grow it back. "Then, it will be healthy, virgin hair again, even after bleaching," he says. "The new hair [that is] untouched by chemicals will be virgin."

dying your hair only damages the hair that is dyed unless the person doing it majorly fucks up in which case youll have bigger things to worry about than damaged hair.
if everything is done correctly (which isnt actually that hard) once the dyed hair grows out a bit you can cut off the dyed hair and the new hair will be the same as your hair before it got dyed.
in short, there isnt really any reason to not let kids get their hair dyed unless something's rules say they cant like a school or some activity group they are in like sports or chess or whatever.

there are a bunch of great starting points for exploring it.
just find a list of factions with pictures and short descriptions, look for one that you think looks or sounds the most cool and start reading about that and let your whimsy go wild with hyperlinked terms in the lexicanum website

you can compare countries like this because population density only matters so much. Once you hit "city living" level of population density or even town level of population density you're going to need to do something.
you can easily compare developed western countries.
it doesnt matter that canada has a fuck ton less people total in their country. 80% of their country lives in cities. 80% of canadas population lives in a situation where walking to and fro doing day to day things will put them within spreading distance of the virus an extreme amount of times.
new zealand has about 80% of its population in city areas. sweden as almost 90% of its population in city areas. The US has about 80%.
its more complex than just looking at it and going "OMG THEIR POPULATION IS HELLA LOWER AND HELLA LESS DENSE"
the lower their population, the more the minority of the population that doesnt live in the city will affect "average density" even if its generally the same percentage of people.

companies do shit like this because people let them do shit like this. The thing you gotta remember about people is that they are often willing to take a lowered quality of product for convenience and/or a lowered price. While yes, there are a lot of predatory practices that a lot of companies are doing, this kind of shit is what people end up asking for by complaining about the price of a service.

just gonna say, if we assume 11 people a year are unjustifiably killed by police in the US as per your number, thats literally not a fucking problem. There are over 10 thousand police forces in america each with varying amounts of police officers. At that point thats literally 0.11% of police forces in america that kill someone unjustifiably in a given year assuming exactly 10 tousand police forces, of which there are defo more, and assuming each death is a different police force.
at that point you are ruining the livelyhoods of hundreds of people, getting multiple people killed, getting even more injured, to demand that we weed out people causing less harm to the american people than the protests demanding it.
