    most apartment buildings even here don't have elevators.

    As I understand it, if you are leasing to the public, you have to either A. have an elevator or B. lease the first floor. Based on what you said, it appears most apartment buildings have chosen option B.

    Individual rights must extend to property rights and property is what we are talking about here.

    Until those with property deny use of their property to you, causing you to get thrown in jail for violating the sit-lie ordinance and/or starve to death for lack of food and lack of farmland on which to grow food.

    The U.S. Constitution doesn't contain the phrase "property, liberty, or life". It contains "life, liberty, or property" twice.

    So, "affluent". How do I go about being that?

    Paraphrasing Dave Ramsey:

    Don't borrow money for your first car. Walk until you can afford a bicycle, and use that until you can afford to buy a beater car with cash. (I recommend a bicycle over public transit because entry-level jobs often require taking weekend hours when city buses are not in operation.)

    Don't borrow money for your post-secondary tuition. Work in professions that do not require a degree until you have saved enough money to buy an associate's degree from a community college with cash. Then work in professions that require only an associate's degree until you have saved enough money to buy a bachelor's or higher degree from a state college with cash.

    Don't borrow money for your first business. Work as a W-2 employee (or foreign counterpart) until you have saved enough money to start your own business.

    Libertarians support the right for each individual to do business (or not) with anyone they choose.

    Which gives the majority the power to constructively kill you if nobody is willing to do business with you. There's a reason that "life" comes before "liberty" in the Declaration of Independence and the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

    That's their business, go to a different doctor.

    If you are bleeding out, and you are of an ethnicity that no nearby doctor is willing to treat, this means you would die. Do you accept death?

    Then how does Leonard French, a lawyer who makes videos about tech lawsuits, keep his ads?

    Something you want to describe as "rigged"? Don't do that.

    What effect will this have on Blender 3D modeling tutorials, particularly when a man is associated with an armature?

    YouTube suggestions at the right side of a video page are not federated. Because of this, a user going the Dreamhost route must find another way to ensure that a video is suggested to prospective viewers. What such ways do you recommend?

    A partner is a YouTube user who has an address in a supported country, 10,000 total views of public videos, an AdSense account, and at least one original video approved for advertisement. It doesn't necessarily mean "media corps". I guess you might be referring to Content ID, access to which requires approval because the process is so CPU-intensive. But what other parts of YouTube copyright enforcement are conditioned on having been granted access to Content ID?

    "Wrong box" sounds like a user interface problem. In my opinion, a user interface that is confusing to navigate is defective. Did you take a screenshot of the confusing part of YouTube's form?

    Your "regular citizen or gold tier" appears to be a paraphrase. What phrasing did YouTube actually use? Using the same terminology that YouTube uses may help other readers understand exactly what went wrong.

    The "bot entrance" appears to be related to the Content ID system. I have read that because Content ID is the most CPU-intensive takedown means, YouTube offers Content ID only to copyright owners whose work is uploaded most often. Is this qualification part of what you meant by "gold tier"?

    There are plenty of "file manager" apps for Android, though you may have to grant privileges on the SD card to the app first. This precaution is intended to keep untrusted applications from disclosing or defacing critical files.

    I get the impression from others' comments that a lot of people use desktop computers exclusively, and they get away with it because they drive instead of riding public transit. Many also carry a flip phone instead of a smartphone because a flip phone has less potential for privacy leaks.

    In other words, it's probably more practical to just carry a Mac mini.

    Plus, a lot of public places don't have separate bathrooms for men & women. And guess what? There's been no spike in sex crimes in those bathrooms.

    That's because most unisex restrooms are single-occupant, in turn because they're in establishments not busy enough to warrant more than two occupants' worth of restrooms.

    shopped at goodwill. What does that have to do with

    The implication is that someone would use the same means to acquire the replacement hardware that he used to acquire the old hardware, or that he would have used to acquire replacements for broken hardware. For example, has your local Goodwill store since stopped selling computers?
