This the the answer. The two major tenets of his platform are "raise tarrifs" (inflationary!) and "deport immigrants" (raising costs on production). Shit is going to get more expensive, but it won't matter if facts continue not to matter and you have a boogieman to shake your stick at.

Same thing with Twitter. I went from seeing a linked/embedded tweet and clicking it to really having a bit of a crisis in the form of: "do I really need to click on that or can I do literally anything else to get the same information?" (e.g. how I saw facebook/instagram links before)

The Pledge of Allegiance is what kids say, not the Star Spangled Banner. The Pledge is a little light on drama and more nationalist than patriotic imo. Not too terribly bad, except for the "under God" part they added in 1954.

Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?

Don't forget to add padding, so I'd just round it out to 18 months to be safe.

Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.

For the optical media side of things, the name was coined by Phillips while they were consorting with Sony to develop the standard and named it the “Compact Disc” to compliment their already existing “Compact Cassette” product. They developed an official logo for the format which spelled it “disc.” That’s been with us ever since.

Didn't LaserDisc predate Compact Discs?

It's hard to overstate
