Republicans are a man running at you with a knife saying "I'm going to stab you." Democrats are a man saying "I'm your friend" before stabbing you in the back.

When Obama gave his ISIS speech back in the 10s outlining his use of force policies, I definitely thought they should apply them to the drug war at the border. I am against intervening in foreign countries...but if you are gonna do it anyway, do it to the greatest extent possible. Drone strike some Cartel mountain hideouts and mansions too

Common opiates is a nice way of saying pills

I got a MacBook Air M1 and an iPhone se3 at the same time. For a brief moment, it was possible to get both a new iPhone and new apple laptop for $1300 bucks total in the 2020s.

Yeah seems like it will help them in the long run. They don’t need it. So just get it right in small doses then make a consumer grade version when it all works good and they can get the battery smaller

Yeah, this isn't a gadget to sit down alone on your couch and game. It's intended to be a wearable that you can walk around with and interact with others while getting mixed reality info. Like for having meetings and presentations where you can display graphics over your real world landscape.

Businesses will buy it up, but that's about it for the time being.

There was a Russian phone made like a decade ago that had a regular color smartphone screen on one side and an e-ink display on the other for just that purpose. Reading emails and texts and newspapers without killing your battery.

I went from iPhone 8 to iPhone se3. I'm likely to have the same form factor iPhone for a decade.

I don't know what the world will look like in 2050, but I do have this news broadcast from 2137. It's a vastly different world than we live in today that's for sure.

Sure, why not.

In the end, a comic book movie is this: a gang of outlaws takes over the town and the Marshall has to come in and clean em up. The town is just bigger.

Westerns were also able to have different flavors on the genre, that's why it was a dominant subject for media of all types (books, movie, TV) for decades.

But its popularity declined just like comic stuff's popularity will decline.

It was my mistake for thinking people had a grasp of television or media history on the television subreddit i guess.

That's what "all but" means. There used to be multiple westerns on TV in prime time every week and in endless syndication. Westerns in novel form and in movies were also dominant forces in their industries. Not the case these days despite the occasional western tv show or movie still being produced.

Comic book movies are westerns. They were once everywhere and have all but died off

Do you see now why China has "The Great Firewall?" Foreign social media networks can be used for all sorts of nefarious deeds outside of their home country.

Just don't let that one HOV lane operator get their hands on the switches...
