Requires constitutional amendment. You know what doesn't? Getting rid of the Reapportionment Act. Expanding the House by a considerable margin will bring back a more fair EC.

Pretty sure we knew this was coming. Bunch of articles last year or the year before that stating that SSD prices were going to climb if not skyrocket.

Every single port, cable, switch and router between your fiber ONT to your laptop has to support that bandwidth. What model is your laptop? What model is your router?

When you say directly connect to the router, are you physically right next to the router testing the speed? Or are you plugging your laptop into ports installed throughout your home?

Second grade teacher has the cursive where every letter is a variation of the letter O.

Eh... The US economy is practically driven by lending to the individual consumer. Banks created a system to identify risks to lending to individuals. Higher scores mean less risk of a bank losing money on an individual. So those high scores are presented with higher credit limits and lower interest rates.

The issue with the individual credit score is that it has become ingrained in society as a litmus test for trustworthiness and credibility. So low scores are rewarded with higher interest rates, lower credit limits, and hit with bigger deposit requirements. Background checks for employment and housing are probably the biggest issue in this regard. If there is a score-tanking event in your life (such as bankruptcy due to healthcare emergencies, for example), it becomes exponentially more difficult to bring yourself back to financial stability because your bankruptcy is reported to the credit bureaus, they tank your score, and you then struggle to find a good job to bring you up again.

A lot of people who happily get credit cards without knowing if they can pay do not fully understand the consequences of not paying. It goes far beyond a bank merely telling you "no".

Sort of but it will be because of the rise of India and China's film industry and even then, those two industries have shoe-horned themselves into a stereotype for their films with musical numbers and party-approved only content, respectively.

One of the most difficult barriers to culture soft power is language. America capitalized early on that English is the most common tongue to communicate in across the world. So the barrier to introduce new media is easier.

That being said, Hollywood adapts to what the people want. Have you noticed that fewer blockbusters are singularly "America! Fuck yeah!" focused? More and more films from Hollywood have foreign, English as a second/third language actors, exotic foreign locations, and are less likely to contain villains of specific countries?

In short, Hollywood's soft power is changing to be liked more in other cultures, but until large film industries like China and India are less domestic-focused, it isn't going to be dethroned anytime soon.

Tinfoil hat time.

These are all memes created and disseminated by GOP-affiliates trying to make Taylor Swift look bad in hopes that her influence on young voters (who are generally are more environmental friendly) to go out and vote in the upcoming Presidential elections won't be as impactful.

Honestly, the comments show who read the article and who didn't. It's really not hard to see that the court was looking for a history of conscientious objection and didn't find any proof, instead finding arguments to the contrary.

How did it get so bad? Is there a tl;Dr anywhere that explains it fully?

It's going to come down to Abortion, Education, and Store prices during the general election. Most Americans are not invested in Israel or Ukraine.

If prices come down before Nov, Biden should win based on how Virginia turned out during it's latest election. But it will be a close election.

How? Red light and speed cameras already automatically send tickets to registered owners without actually getting a picture of the driver. These cars still must be registered to some entity.

"abuses... during the Civil War and the Reconstruction", as if there wasn't a bunch of states that not only rebelled, but refused to enforce Federal law after the civil war.
