The Death Note finale is wild.

Additionally, they require a lot of rest and need to be rotated out more frequently than humans. Nazi Germany was very dependent on draft animals on WWII and the logistics were nuts.

It says countdown timers and the like would also jump.

Sure. But context matters. I doubt everyone would have gotten too riled up if he was hailing a cab instead of showing alignment with neofascist ideals.

If “my” candidate wanted to do it, I’d seriously reconsider their fitness for office.

Just change every “X of Y” to “X of America.”

Then we’ll change the X, also to “America.”

I always heard it “…as long as a liberal had to smell it.”

There are still some out there, but so many businesses prioritize turnover to raise profits that it can be difficult to have a place to just hang out with friends.

“Your emotional and mental reality is less important than my physical appreciation/judgement of you.”

Referenced in a lower comment, but that loss of a meet and hangout place is often called a “third place,” as opposed to work or home. The show Cheers is a depiction of a third place in that it’s a place where “everybody knows your name” and the norm is staying and chatting, not spending a few bucks and running out.

There are some interesting suppositions about how this loneliness became more and more endemic with the decline in bowling leagues. People, men in particular, just have fewer regular hangout activities and so get more and more lonely. Things like bowling leagues, lodges, and the corner bar all were meeting spots to socialize and they have declined or morphed over the years, losing their original social role.

Yeah. Maybe solar? But it’s energy intensive. I sort of imagined these hypothetical folks were very wealthy and could afford tenders and the like to bring them food and fuel.

True, especially big community well situations. We’re the only ones on our well, though.

In the US. I feel the same about our well water. Completely untreated and so good.

They should remember without reminders, but do they? The number of people who only seem to remember cheap gas is appalling.

For many, it would be making them more community-minded and responsible as younger kids. The combo of rarely being held accountable for mistakes or failure to meet expectations (basically, gentle parenting) and a social education from algorithmically curated content feels like it’s been a major factor in developing their social/political attitudes.

To be fair, that also included variants like “when did Joe Biden drop out?” Obviously, people are idiots, but that was at least somewhat misleading.
