I miss all my hydrohomies.

The end road is the long term debt cycle breaks and our economic system is once again reshuffled. The unfortunate part of that is it happens roughly every 75-100 years and typically involves a major global conflict and multi-decade depression. Buckle up buckaroos!

Growing up my parents could afford to buy a house but didn't have the money to fix my teeth. Now I can't buy a house or fix my teeth, and my children don't even have any because I can't afford to have any children.

Until quite suddenly we don't. There's going to be a massive population plunge in about 20 years with a large aging population and nobody to help fill the gap behind them. Granted, I think that's where AI and robotics can probably help which is what Japan seems to be banking on.

Musk: "AI is the greatest threat to humanity and needs to be seriously regulated before it destroys us all."

Also Musk: "So anyway, here's Wonderwall..."

They didn't. It's Warner Discovery. This office closed so the team could partner with Warner Animation.

Disney doesn't own CN. It's a Warner Discovery company. They just merged the offices with Warner Animation which was probably way overdue considering how tightly connected Warner had been with CN for as long as most of us can remember.

Considering the series is coming back this month, I think you should shut up and take my money

At least they can sell it to pay for some of the damages. King Alaskan Salmon ain't cheap.

It's literally the safest time to be alive in any point in human history, but OK. People really need to take a break from the melodrama of the internet once in a while. We have many potential and very real threats to our future, but quite literally there are more people with opportunities in life than ever. There are fewer global conflicts than basically ever. There is less violent crime in the US, EU, and most of the world than ever. It doesn't matter what it "feels like" out there, but the data doesn't lie. What you are seeing is a much wider vantage point to the world than in generations past. These stories you'd never heard give people the impression things are nothing but doom and gloom, but for more people than ever, it's quite the opposite.

It's actually the other way around, but yes it's a regional thing usually for people along the Mid-Atlantic (and possibly a couple other areas) to distinguish the words. I'm guessing the BBQ history of the region itself is what drove that, but most of the rest of the US uses them fairly interchangeably.
