Hello, I'd just like to clear up this common misconception. Much like 18 USC § 331, which only targets the fraudulent defacement of coinage, criminal intent is also a requirement to be charged under the applicable criminal code for banknotes, 18 USC § 333. Pressing a penny at the zoo isn't illegal and neither is what the crazy person did to those banknotes. These codes are intended to prosecute attempts to change the face value of banknotes or remove metal from coinage to sell the scrap and pass off the coins as being their full value.

18 USC § 331:

Whoever fraudulently [emphasis added] alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or

Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened—

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

18 USC § 333:

Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, [emphasis added] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

Well then you should have just said that instead, because your initial reply was unwarranted given that I made my position on police enforcement in this regard quite clear.

I use weed lol.

Drug isn't a dirty word, I apply this thinking to any and every drug, whether or not it's a "drug of abuse." If it hasn't been shown to be safe during pregnancy, then it shouldn't be used in pregnancy.

Linguistic prescriptivism disgusts me.

Their post about our defederation is absolutely unhinged, I must say – top keks if you can handle reading it. Seriously, though, I am quite shocked at the amount of vitriol on their instance; being a leftist myself, I don't really understand the point of being mean to everyone that they would presumably want to help via their politics.

“Oh, you live in a Western country and are subject to late-stage capitalist horrors? Let me save you – wait, you don't agree with me? Then go screw yourself, good luck in the revolution.”

Certainly education would be the solution, overcome the Stockholm syndrome?

Oh well, good riddance.

Jasn is correct. To add to that, here's App Manager's scanner showing no detected trackers in the app itself:

I've lived in Canada and the US and I've never thought twice about drinking water straight from the tap.
