I think it was the music. Just seemed really out of place to me. Rewatched the season 1 trailer and it had the tone and feel I was hoping for here. Fingers crossed it was just a poor choice for this one trailer.

To replace TurboTax I reccomend freetaxusa.com.

Works exactly like TurboTax without giving any money to Intuit. Federal filing is free but you do have to pay to file state taxes through them ($14.99). It will ask several times if you want to buy their audit protection but you can just select no and keep going.

Almost the entirety of the decision tree applies to America too.

She also believes that the "globalists" control the weather. She will never understand climate change because she is insane.

And Nixion didn't have a public tantrum about it because Nixon had more class and was a better person than Trump.

And I don't mean that in a good way.

Good point. Guess that's going on the list too.

This should be a thing. Every time something horrific happens it needs to be labeled as "Trump's America."

And I don't mean things like natural disasters. Increases in hate, poverty, brutality. Things that Trump stands for and causes.

I agree with what you are saying. I just thought of the article as more of an entry point. It's not aimed at you. You obviously know what the manoshpere is and have taken the time to learn more.

The article seems like a good starting point for those who don't know. Hopefully, the parents of preteens who have never heard of the manoshpere will pick this up, start learning what it is their kids have been listening to, and put a stop to it.

They passively call out that it's been building for years, but give no real history. Seems to me like they were more trying to say how mainstream it's become. Gamer gate is important to how we got here, but not that widely known about, even when it happened. Everyone knows Joe Rogan.

Either way, larger news outlets like NBC reporting on this is a good thing, even if they are a little late to the party.

You just proved [email protected] point. Android OS is a Linux kernel variant. Since it comes pre-installed, most users have no issue with it.

He's not mentally capable enough to shut up. All he ever had to do with Sandy Hook was stop talking about it and he couldn't do it. It doesn't help that he still hasn't had any actual consequences.

Since you didn't mention it, you might enjoy "Wheel of Time" by Robert Jordan. Great world building and a unique magic system. Sadly, Jordan passed away before he could finish it, but it was finished by Sanderson. His ending is why I first started reading cosmere.
