Unhappily married couple, so focused on avoiding misery for a few months of divorce proceedings, decide instead to live miserable every day for the next 30 years.

Americans don't really value freedom. Not really. Americans pretend they like freedom, but they will give up all their freedoms for the slightest bit of convenience, and because social media told them so.
Am I talking about consumer electronics, or politics? Impossible to say.
You, the people, out in the streets, rioting, en masse. That's how democracy was won, and it's what is needed to maintain it.
A piece of paper means nothing if people with guns disregard it.
The "weak men" part is the part where people become so complacent, docile, and addicted to convenience that they allow the corporate takeover to happen.
Weak men creating hard times is happening right now, in real time, right on schedule.
Disagree. A detached house with yard unlocks room for so many hobbies. Like planting a vegetable garden. Playing instruments or music without pissing off the neighbours. Beekeeping. Woodworking. Backyard astronomy. Backyard BBQ. Bonfires. Etc.
Suburbs themselves are not a dirty word. It's how some people choose to execute it that is the problem.
Why, the same people in support of Netenyaho, of course.
US policy doesn't get to dictate how websites operate in non US jurisdiction. The US acting like it gets to bully the rest world into doing whatever it wants is the whole issue at hand. That's the point: the trump admin wants to use US influence to intimidate, bully, and antagonize other countries by disrespecting their sovereignty.
There's only one reason to get a cybertruck, the one thing it is excellent at: grabbing attention.
Mission accomplished buddy.
Yes, but also no. Older hardware is less power efficient, which is a cost in its own right, but also decreases backup runtime during power failure, and generates more noise and heat. It also lacks modern accelerated computing, like ai cores or hardware video encoders or decoders, if you are running those appd. Not to mention lack of nvme support, or a good NIC.
For me a good compromise is to recycle hardware upgrades every 4-5 years. A 19 year old computer? I would not bother.
"So what do you do for fun?"
If that's too direct, just mention something fun you did recently and let them decide to respond in kind. If they don't open up to you like that in the slightest, after you open up to them in such a small way, then you should just take the hint and go talk to someone else.
Maybe it's the other way around... Maybe people predisposed to being lied to will end up with political views based on that lie.
