You know, I never considered whether being Pope required renunciation of other citizenship. Technically he's a sovereign supreme monarch so I guess it would, but that's also wild.

I dunno, as a (lapsed) Catholic I rather think that specifically targeting Latino congregations in the parking lot after Mass qualifies

Honestly I think that most of the people who talk about The West really mean "the Carolingian Empire, plus Britain (because we're speaking English)"

"Well-made" shoes got cheaper or stayed the same as well. *Trendy* shoes got more expensive.
A pair of Doc Martens will still last your entire life and costs about six hours of the median hourly wage, which is about the same number of median work-hours they cost fifteen years ago.

Having not watched the series at all I'm going to assume that Faker pulled off at least two god-tier Unkillable Demon King absurdities that completely reversed a team fight and turned a straightforward loss into a win

Middle half-hour is kinda interminable though
I dunno how you write around it but everything between Jabba's barge blowing up and the Battle of Endor proper feels twice as long as it actually is

To the extent that the modern line worker (not just in America but everywhere) makes less it's because the goods he produces are less valuable than they were 50 years ago because demand is lower and competition is higher. A fridge also no longer costs a months' wages (and the fridge is far better!)

By the mid-90s these advanced are largely complete outside of raw computational power. By the 2010s that's largely done too for any feasible consumer purpose. American manufacturing stagnates because everyone already has two cars, a fridge, a computer, a HDTV, dishwasher, etc

The Boomer economy is driven by post-WWII reconstruction via the Marshall Plan into the transistor age, which makes literally everything better and more affordable so demand is basically infinite, and then rapidly progresses into the digital era

This was a historical abberation only possible in the post-WWII period because the US was the only nation with an industrial base that hasn't been comprehensively *blown the fuck up* and which coincided with absolutely massive technological change driving demand

Didn't really work out that way long term because of the industrial revolution, but it's hard to blame the founders for that lack of foresight when the first Watt steam engine was sold a couple months before the Declaration of Independence.

Reading between the lines the Senate was mostly intended as a counterweight to slave states, who were much larger both in population (even after the 3/5ths rule) and land area (and so would presumably have a higher population cap later, farming yields being what they were at the time)

As someone who works in transportation I promise you that graph is not telling the full story. Post-COVID rates for truck drivers absolutely skyrocketed between 2021-2022. Like, doubled. Owner-ops could basically name their price.

I mean appointed US judges gave us our current Supreme Court so it's not like there aren't obvious counterexamples of the alternative outcomes also being kinda shit

I mean, the Black Legion is the preeminent chaos force, and their livery is, uh, black, regardless of a unit's Mark.
...as are Black Templars, Iron Hands, Raven Guard, and Deathwatch. But Black Legion is *spiky,* which sets them apart.
