Only one or two until you hit the credit card limit.

Eat some good barbeque.

Long term, Americans have been bad at making idiots feel shame for their idiocy. There is less of a societal push to make people conform to societal pressure. On one end, this leads to great creative freedom for artists. On the other end, it creates the born again movement.

Medium term, LBJ oversaw the collapse of economic leftism as he was trying to include civil rights legislation and the Vietnam War. This lead to the stagnation of American salaries, but it took a while for people to notice that quality of life wasn’t improving for everyone. Also, conservatives realized they could create parallel media in a way to control public sentiment.

Short term, the Great Recession and COVID made it clear that quality of life wasn’t as bulletproof as people thought. As a response, some people want to bring back “the good old days”, not realizing/remembering that the good old days had a lot of bad to it that was covered up.

It depends on the systems of alliances and international commitments against a first strike. For instance, the Iran-Iraq War went on for several years and included the deployment of chemical weapons. I’m pretty sure that a nuclear exchange would be tolerated.

While Rogue looks normal, her superpower is somewhat disabling. If she touches anyone, she will cause them harm.

X3 highlights this.

It depends on how the standard was made, with the decisions generally made to fit specific reasons and no overarching standard.

There are also clothes that use more than one number. A lot of mens pants use two numbers; the same with formal mens shirts.

I use it a lot.

Only if the wreckage of World War III can do so.

College football is a moneymaker, so I don’t see football being impacted.

What I see happening is that the money from college football will stay in football and money losing programs will see major cuts.

The Batman incorporates a lot of working class struggles into the narrative. Batman is constantly called out for not knowing things that are obvious to working people, but not to upper class people like himself.

It’s capital has one of the widest roads in the world.

When doing snot techniques, 2 studs = 5 plates.

About 40 hours a week.

Yeah.

There is always that cycle that includes “Democrats didn’t do everything they promised so they deserve to suffer”, which brings in Republicans that cause far more damage.

And given the number of election cycles, you would think there would be some organization by now for overall leftist causes, but there isn’t. There is no party or organization out there that can pose an electoral threat. The right produced the TEA party, which morphed to MAGA. Leftists have nothing.

A combination of Lemmy and The Economist.

The Economist is very anti-Russian, but I find they don’t pull punches regarding how economic policy will fuck with the working class in Western countries.

Nah, I prefer a well brewed Raktajino.

No, mainly because they are very different communities that are posting the same article.

I don’t know, but if there is one, I’d expect one to be in New Jersey.

Yep. There are already systems designed to watch and play back 8k video at home, but it is largely seen as not worth the expense of implementing the system.

Online is only really better for lower levels of Bloom’s Taxonomy. As you work your way up from default memorization, in person learning starts to shine.

Also, a bachelor’s degree isn’t supposed to just teach you hard skills, but also soft skills to make you a leader. It is a lot harder to teach leadership when students don’t have to deal with people.
