Not sure what your point is. The US is incredibly diverse, and that diversity has very modern roots (when compared to many other diverse countries). That’s not exceptionalism, that’s just demographics. It’s not a competition. Combined with large internal migrations over its history and its large size, many Americans live in cities and regions they have no historical family connection to. So when answering a question about why “Americans seem to be very obsessed with their nationality” it seemed relevant.

A capitalism casino that somehow rules the entire economy*

* or at least many people’s view of it

That’s what happens when almost everyone in the country had ancestors who only came here in the last 200 years. The “American identity” is founded in the idea that either we or our ancestors were born somewhere else and then came here. It’s much different than someplace like the UK where so many are probably within a days walk of where one of their 10th great grandparents lived.

Always frustrates me how underutilized @media print is. Always liked crafting some good CSS for it on sites, especially ones that I worked on that were document heavy.

Bet he’s going to be embarrassed when he loses the debate to the chatbot

Source? I know that was a comic run but hadn’t seen any coverage on that in regards to the MCU. Plus, are there even “Avengers” to kill right now in the MCU?

Ah, totally missed Joaquin in the TV show! Thanks!

My own theory is that this movie is going to relate to the asterisk in “Thunderbolts*” and is leading up to Secret Avengers based on the timing of when they come out

Isaiah Bradley was actually already in the TV show and there’s a clip of him in the trailer

With no snark intended, when was the last time that Michael Moore was culturally or politically relevant? I was a fan of his from his earlier work, but not sure why his take on anything would be valued over anybody else’s at this point. I’m not even necessarily disagreeing with his point, but not sure why anyone cares what he says about the race.

Maybe? But in the article he was talking about his priority being that he wanted to disconnect from his phone but still wanted news. Just seems there’s been a solution for that for a few centuries now. His solution seemed to me at least to be a lemon that wasn’t worth the squeeze as it were.

So, a newspaper with a lot of extra steps? I understand the gee whizness of getting this all to work but not really sure there’s a solid “why” to this.

Software and stores aside, one of the things I appreciate about Valve is you never see them talking about what they want to do, they just do it. They may not always do what I want as a game developer, but as a game platform they seem to be pretty dialed in on what users want. I have yet to see any hint of that from Epic.

Nailed it! <fist bump>

It’s the top post on her feed, but it’s a set of images and the one featured is 4 of 6

Oh I know - as soon as I find a shovel, we’ll complete the funeral service and then it’s time for the wake :)

I guess if I have to explain the joke, I have no one to blame but myself. <sigh>

The redhead in armor is Chappell Roan at this year’s VMAs, and the blonde is Sabrina Carpenter from a performance on SNL. The original photo in the post was making fun of noticing the superficial resemblance of a shot from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to those two looks.

Damn it’s weird being old enough to have been a fan of Buffy, but still knowing and liking new pop music.

Willow (Alyson Hannigan) and Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) from Buffy the Vampire Slayer

For those confused:

It is if you’re old enough to know who the pic is actually of, or young enough to know who Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter actually are?

You weren’t wrong - title is clickbait-y as hell.
