The answer is probably "yes"

  1. Food is probably worse.
  2. Your taste buds might have changed.
  3. Your gut bacteria might be different.

I have a couple reasons for believing each.

  1. Nutrient concentration in food has decreased over time (Veritasium talked about a fascinating explanation for this) and the desire to find low cost alternatives like HFCS over cane sugar changes the taste of food.
  2. "Children prefer higher levels of sweet and are more sensitive to bitter tastes until adolescence."
  3. Your gut microbiome literally changes over time.

Smallville very directly addressed this in an episode where Clark Kent's mom got mad at him for hiding an undocumented immigrant on their farm. He had to remind her his own paperwork was also less than legitimate.

None of this makes sense anymore. How could people possibly be shocked this time? It happened before under less favorable circumstances.

He probably didn't. He was polling very well. Very well. Better than his last two elections for a long time. People pretended he couldn't win and I admittedly didn't think they'd do that since that's exactly what happened in 2016.

Simply assuming the election was stolen will be a mistake because that mindset will help Republicans win their next election. The voters wanted an irreparably changed supreme court and Trump functionally immune from prosecution and that's what the voters got.

My pet peeve is when lids are slightly on. It's worse than having no lid at all.

They appear to be moved around because the original creator [didn't] put the text boxes in intuitive places. It's instinct to read from top to bottom if both text bubbles are centered at the same spot.

EDIT: missed an important word

"Evil" is incredibly subjective and doesn't convince people well enough. Next time you're in an argument with someone, call them evil and see how quickly you've convinced them.

I saw an interview a while back where Obama said he makes these exact types of statements because if you want other countries to do things you perceive as "good" it's more effective to convince them that it's beneficial for them.

I can't even see comments on lessons anymore. There was one Brazilian dude named Paulenrique who would answer anyone's questions about quirks of the language and now all his efforts to help people are just gone.

It's not. That subreddit is garbage. The mods legit ban people if the user rates people higher than the mod wants.

A lot of focus is being justifiably placed on the mom, but the kid's actions very closely mirror allegations against his father, Malik Ellison.

The [father's girlfriend] said she backed away to create space, but Ellison followed her, pushed her onto the bed, put his hand around her neck, and threatened to kill her, according to court records.

That attack wasn’t the only time the woman claimed Ellison was violent toward her, court records show. The woman called Newport News police again on Sept. 21, 2021 and told investigators that Ellison held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her, according to court records.
