And 2 to 5 backup plans.

Has it been so long since Hamilton came out that you kids forgot this was even a plot point there?

After a significant amount of:

French elites and non-Arisocrats got familiar with the American revolution enough to both see the post-Enlightenment period ideals as socially palatable, and also see that an internal conflict supported by an external power could be successful.

Expecting reciprocal aid from the Americans (womp womp), the French Revolution started, and the Americans stayed out of it because they still saw their support as from the Kingdom of France despite commonalities of both reasons and even people involved in the French Revolutionary side.

There's 2 separate universes here.

Devs and tech companies care only for UX, convenience, and reduced friction to use any service. They would put their granny's home address and SSN in the headers if it made a page load 10ms faster. Their incentives are all short-sighted to hit the next goal to outcompete other devs/companies and ship their end of history killer app that will solve all problems - and that will still get bloated and enshittified within 18 months.

Then there's us, a subset of rational people educated about how much data gets transmitted, who are horrified by the general state of being online, and are hard to impress when it comes to more than just saying "privacy!" when promoting anything at all.

IMO, we have to DIY and cobble together so much of our own protection, we're closer to artists that live a strange life that few people understand, seems weird from the outside, but we love for the peace of mind. Which is not enough to be any appreciable segment of the market to move the needle on any product worth real money.

Caffeine is the only positive codependent addiction ever recorded.

The US exported the Revolution to France.

Find Nick Cage and we can get the idea out of Ben Franklin's family vault where he kept all his porno mags.

Edit: kids, while the French Revolution was likely inevitable by 1779, and many factors mutually supportive between the two, French military involvement in the American Revolution kick started their timeline. Downvote all you like, history does support this. Literally, History (channel).

And yet, the TACO rule is a rule. He always chickens out.

Yes, but no one checks the legality of cheap Chinese devices from Amazon.

Expert difficulty: it's also cold and raining outside. There's no food or coffee available once you get up, you have to go to the store.

Not me, but my spouse. I love all the rugs they pick, we always agree, but I can't match or really even understand the excitement.

But if it's shopping for food in an open green market, sign me the fuck up.

Yeah, I was going to list a lot of above knee-height clothing items and got lazy.
