The bad guy builds essentially a utopia where he grants people's wishes is they are beneficial to society at large. Literally magic grants their wish. Then the protagonist decides that this isn't fair and everyone deserves their wish granted and upends society to grant everyone's wish and make it more utopia I guess? Idk it's not in my kids rotation only seen it once.

They are generating revenue from the tariffs but it is not enough to offset the tax cuts and will decrease over time as there are fewer imports.

Listening to today's episode of the Prof G podcast there is a new exchange trying to open that is lobbying for the same 6 month reporting structure. So it's some sort of payoff in sure.

I would guess that it is related to the fact that he is in his 50s now and the last few years the PED rumors have been growing louder. He needed a way to not be huge and that was going to take committing to the size.

You're forgetting that cults don't continue when the leader is gone. Trump doesn't his entire life getting people to believe him and love him or hate him he is good at it. Vance sucks. No one likes him and he will not be able to continue the grift when Donny dies. They have no one past him that can handle the base and the party. There is going to be a lot more pain when he is gone because of all the fighting. Better case unfortunately would be for midterms to happen then he dies then at least there's a chance the GOP won't have full control over the government

Just give them a dummy button and play the clip of the death star blowing up or something. They aren't going to check to make sure it happened. Keep it sending the data just turn off the server side recording it then turn it back on when they inevitably forget about it in a couple weeks.

Someone needs to spread a rumor that an additive in gas is turning frogs gay

Fluency in a language learning context is not the same as native speakers. The measure is can you pass a 4th grade grammar class in the given language.

My understanding is that you won't get fluent but it would give you up to a middle school level understanding, depending on the language. French and Spanish were more advanced than Mandarin or Welsh.

I don't think I've ever run into anyone else who has seen or remembers surf ninjas. What a great fever dream of a movie.
