There's very specific times when using it are helpful, but overall I think it robs you of your ability to think and analyze. I see students use it at school and I think it's robbing people of their humanity. I hate it.

that's why. I loved The Hobbit but when I tried to read Fellowship...it was too slow. It's slow for a reason but it's a barrier to me getting into them.

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

Concerts and ticket prices keep going up and up...but people, like me, keep paying.

Vegas has probably the highest demand and excitement of any Frozen Four so higher prices for that are not surprising. The prices were not my worst case scenario FWIW.
