You can give blood directly to a hospital if you don't want to deal with red cross or other blood orgs. Any local hospital in your area will be more than happy to take your donation.

Alternatively: live the truth proudly, and just don't go anywhere that won't let unjabbed in.

What's to disagree about? When you buy a locked Samsung phone, Samsung is getting money from Facebook and Candy Crush and a bunch of other vendors for making sure their bloatware is on your phone. When you buy it unlocked, they're not getting that money from those vendors so they charge you some of the difference. There's no "agree to disagree", this is documented fact.

It would be helpful if you said "CPU" instead of "item" to avoid confusion. There are more than one kind of item which is sold in a locked or unlocked state.

Selling locked CPUs vs unlocked when the unlocked ones can handle overclocking makes perfect sense. CPU manufacturing is not deterministic at the subatomic level; there are inevitably going to be variations between units and it's perfectly reasonably to charge more for the ones that come out better.

It's neither guilt nor failure. There's an additional revenue stream for locked devices where third party vendors will pay for guaranteed space on your device. Unlocked devices don't support that guarantee, so that third party revenue isn't there. They charge more for the unlocked device to make up for it.

I'm convinced the overwhelming majority of "flat earthers" are just trolling, and the rest are certainly not worth arguing with.

I learned my lesson in middle school math class: writing the answer doesn't prove anything. You have to show your work.
