It can be both.

That's shitty. I'm sorry your parents (both real and step) were such terrible people. Hopefully you did okay despite their best efforts.

That's the answer right there. They're voting for her because they like that she's lining her own pockets.

In my country it meant I was able to vote, buy alcohol and get a driver's license. I was never interested in alcohol, but I did get a driver's license a few months later. I didn't feel that different, but my parents liked that I could ship stuff around for them. I indulged in some voting, too.

I'd be surprised if there aren't candidates more hateful and racist on the primary ballot.

Grocery store apples in Seattle are actually pretty good, and the above statement still holds true.

I don't know this bill specifically, but bills have a lot of weird unrelated shit tacked onto them. Sometimes that stuff is state-specific stuff. There have been lots of cases where senators have opposed a bill but changed their tune after something specifically for their state was added. They can then brag about these wins during primaries.

Oddly, they designed a brand new one, instead of just using the 1959 version.

I don't know the situation in Maine, but being a deciding vote usually means you get a lot of concessions. It's quite possible Maine residents get what they want from her via these concessions.

They're not allowed to see actual purchase data, so all they have is "this person looked at a humidifier and may or may not have bought one". So they're plastering you with humidifier ads in case you still haven't pulled the trigger, or in case you did buy one but returned it.

Should be possible to make a compatibility layer. You can run android apps on PC now, according to constant banners on Play Store.

The biggest issue is hardware support. Mobile hardware still uses custom drivers for everything, so you wouldn't be able to ramp up a new OS on existing hardware. You'd need to invest in making both a phone and an OS, and that's a big risk considering only a small amount of turbo nerds will care.
