Everything you said is true, fair and I do agree. But I feel compelled to add that many of the issues built into the current structure of governance are a direct result of racism, white supremacy and slavery.
The reason the system is so incredibly resistant to change is that the anti-democratic parts of the Constitution are there because of slavery. Giving disproportionate power to the slave holding class then leads directly to a Senate that is almost always going to be 50%+ Republican today despite that party not winning a national majority in 30+ years.
I understand and appreciate that the system has safeguards against rapid and radical changes where 50%+1 can otherwise dominate the other half of the country. But we must acknowledge that the current framework is a poor facsimile of that and the reason is the original sin of this country.
Lastly, this is a bit of an aside, but this clip of Reggie Jackson (Hall of Fame baseball player) is really worth watching and remembering that what he experienced happened not that long ago and is indictive of the type of America that so many people on the right want to return to. https://youtu.be/R4mWOVy_02s?si=9irk_TD_JKWInMkt
My new speed metal band, but all the songs are actually about math. Our debut album will be Hippasus of Metapontum with the single being Mystic Discourse.
You’re going to have to be more specific, I can think of at least 2 that could fit that description.

Holy shit. I honestly thought this was bullshit so I had to look it up.

What in the actual fuck
I feel like this could be used to describe any tech company that “innovates” or “disrupts” an area.
The race was yesterday. Today was just the parade
Behind the Bastards also did a couple episodes on this. Definitely work a listen.
Expect for the .410 gauge. That one is a caliber, because reasons
Rename the Southeast to Sherman? I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
I regret clicking into the comments to find the answer
Admittedly I don’t play on Xbox, but yeah their console naming is baffling to me and I honestly don’t know/can’t be bothered to figure it out. PlayStation is simple. Bigger numbers equal newer. Pro version? Just a modest step up but still clearly identifies as the same Gen.
When Xbox launched the One, I thought, “oh they’re going to reset the numbering convention. It’s awkward now but will be easier going forward.” Boy was I wrong.
On the other end there’s Nintendo, but the names are so different and distinct it’s easy enough to distinguish (except whatever the hell Wii U was).
Microsoft seems caught in the middle. They clearly didn’t want to be like PlayStation, but they don’t want to/can’t come up with unique names, so you get just a mouthful of nonsense letters and numbers.
Youngin. I remember downloading a song took an hour. Want to download an album? Better clear out your weekend and hope no one else needed the phone
What about a parfait? Everybody likes a parfait!
Top of ticket candidates obviously matter, but voting in primaries, down ballot and local elections can have significant impacts. I know it’s trite, but the only answer is vote in every election you can. Voting for better candidates in smaller races can and will eventually work it’s way up to the top of ticket races.
A recent example would be both the democratic primaries in 2016 and 2020. While yes the more progressive candidates lost, their strong showings did help push the national party further left. Bernie’s message in 2016 has endured and grown in popularity nationally in the last decade.
When it comes to state and local elections, there are constant stories about right wing zealots (Mom’s for Liberty and the like) using school board and local elections to expand their power and influence.
I know it’s unpleasant, but you need to vote. If your state allows mail in voting, sign up for it. You can get your ballot, research the candidates and make more informed choices. Personally I’ll spend about an hour with the ballot researching the down ballot races and judges and the like.
And if you’re particularly motivated, volunteer for candidates. Your time can be an invaluable resource if you want to support better policies and candidates.
Sorry if this got a bit long winded, but apathy and non-participation is effectively a vote for the status quo. Political change can be slow and uneven but can only be gained with persistent effort.
That’s Waffle House. You just described every Waffle House.
Honestly, seeking compactness/shortest lines can create gerrymandered districts too. It can result neighborhoods or population centers being split into multiple districts and having their power diluted.
Drawing convenient/straight boarders can have lasting negative impacts. Just ask the British.
The solution is… Complicated. David Wasserman did a great piece on this many years ago for 538. It’s worth a read

I get what you’re saying, but the eating and the spiciness of the wings actually contribute to the quality of the interview.
Eating a meal with someone is disarming and contributes to the relaxed, ungaurded nature or his guests.
Consuming spicy food, particularly extremely spicy food or spicy food in great quantity releases endorphins which.
So while yes the eating/reacting to how hot the sauce is does interrupt the flow of the interview somewhat, it does help him get good/candid answers for his guests.
So while his research team is outstanding and he’s a talented interviewer in his own right. The hot wings do serve a role in the interview as more than a clickbaity gimmick.
