Odds are if a church was involved, one or both are gaslighted into believing they are meant to be married that other person for better or worse, and regressive enough subculture/community that finds divorce abhorrent for any reason (other than the man could have a younger bride)

Those are marked as suicides.

Russia has higher murder rate than any European country and higher than US. And with how corrupt the military is all, anyone with the equivalent of 100usd can bribe a logistics officer to lose an AK in the paperwork.

Feels like every 5 years some major Internet company looks at how many billions video games draws in, established markets with PC and consoles, and how much hype and marketing gets thrown around the space and decides they can do it better.

With zero understanding of what consumers want, expecting to be able to charge extra for content that no one asked for or services like steam offer for free, and usually with such an awful UI and interactions with the consumer you wonder if they see potential customers as anything but cattle to be figuratively slaughtered and try to milk as much currency as they can with overpriced subscription(s) and not-so-micro microtransactions.

Edit: For those that want examples, most recent one comes to mind is Stadia

By his own decree his 2020 administration should be facing capitol punishment for acts of federal agents in Portland and other cities during peaceful protests over unrest at the time.

The dude you replied to is from the Canada instance.

There was primary for congressional seats where the actual change Gen Z keeps saying they want will have to come from. And there was basically no participation there nationwide for their generation.

It's more that Gen Z wants change without putting in effort. They (and millennials too) aren't voting in primaries at all let alone showing up in non Presidental elections so all parties are putting money and effort into candidates that appeal to older, more conservative voters that actual show up.

The younger people I work with and interact with on a regular basis that admit they voted for Trump say they didn't do it because he appealed to them but because they had some protest against Harris or Biden. Dems dropped the ball entirely this election but the majority of voters fail to turn out and prove their desire for change and progressive candidates is anything but talk.

He's an illegal immigrant, there would be no better irony and justice to confiscate all his assets and deport his ass to Bloemfontein, South Africa so their judicial system can deal with him.

I don't even want kids!

Me wondering if there are clear symptoms of there or being power bottom or if I'm just utterly oblivious to the signs and assume they are just brats.

Enough people voted for him or didn't bother to show up and vote at all for him to get there, I don't know where these enlightened generations you speak of are.
