are all unethical choices equal? Surely there are better and worse things?

Just criticises? Not "slams", "destroys", or eviscerates? Weak. No rage click from me.
It does smack of hypocrisy but I've been feeling more it's a paradox of tolerance thing. Which itself a sort of hypocrisy now that I'm thinking about it. Huh.
If I don't show you a video because I don't think you'd enjoy it, that's different from not showing it to you because I don't want you to see it.
I wouldn't disagree those are different reasons for not wanting to show a video but both are curations based on biases.
I guess I just have a more neutral connotation for bias than "biased against you for others' own interests" and so I didn't find bias to be a useful term here to distinguish the reasons behind curation choices.
Nothing really in disagreement here, just fiddling with common usage.
How is bias not inherent to curation? Preference for one thing over another is bias. Curation is literally showing you things it thinks you're biased to like. These groups aren't revealing their secret sauce for curation algorithms so we'd never know anyway.
nose hair trimmer attachment works well around the ears I've found (but it's loud!)
cold cuts? Have you seen the price of a bag of chips? Ridiculous. I don't need to spend 5 bucks to hate myself later after I've eaten too many.
$30 to buy an old mechanical pencil on ebay you remember having in highschool? No problemo.
Antivax crowd no longer drinking milk I guess
Texas will happily block banks on the banks' own association/speech though. Hypocrites.

Edit: same or similar law prohibits the state from doing business with anyone that (I guess publicly?) boycotts Israel. https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/paxton-wins-major-case-defending-texass-anti-boycott-israel-law
Yes, in the paperwork when bidding a state funded project you have to sign a paper saying you aren't boycotting Israel. Madness.
Edit 2: I just realized the name of this community. I have no idea on what side you're supposed to be falling for on this. Just calling out what I see as folks trying to have it both ways.
does range come into play here?
I don't think you can reply to a text message using a third party watch on iOS but you can with your Apple watch. I've seen that cited as an exclusive API.
Where I was going was: effects can be different even if all choices and results are unethical. If one cares about the possible impacts of ones actions, consideration beyond "well it's all unethical, so whatever" could be warranted.
