Sounds a bit annoying to go on a trip with just you, your son and the couple that cheated on you. I assume you're not just going to spend all the time with your son, are you the type who has an easy time entertaining themselves alone in such a place? Otherwise, that's a lot of time to spend third-wheeling with a couple that you're not particularly fond of.

Reminder that Musk has fathered a dozen children. Welfare queen.

Economists also said that Trump would tank the economy. Americans sleep.

Not even just "sleeping", Wallstreet is celebrating his win!

People feel that their quality of life is going downhill and the propagandists presented an easy scapegoat to distract from the rich.

Lots of these predictions were actually quite horrible. e.g. flying cars would be so much worse than regular cars in so many ways.

"Many of you will die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make!"

Who wants to have personal effects in their grave anyway? When I'm dead, I want to become soil as quickly and cheaply as possible.

A scientist might think that the historical/scientific value is more important than the personal rights of people who died millenia ago.

The people who dug up graves in the early 20th century just didn't see the locals as people, though, which is also why most of those museums were in Europe, not anywhere near where the artifacts were found (if the artifacts were given to museums at all, instead of being sold to private collectors).

If you ask me personally: A pharaoh is a king, and fuck the king.

Agreed, though I think that he doesn't quite fit the definition of "celebrity" considering he did two terms as a state governor.

No numbers for "A celebrity's position on a politicial issue has positively affected my opinion of him/her"?

And IMO, considering all the other groups that are trying to sway voters and how close elections tend to be (and how polarized politics are in the US), these numbers aren't that bad. And the way advertising/propaganda works, they don't necessarily have to sway people in a way that the people directly notice - it's often enough to keep repeating a point to keep it in people's consciousness.

AFAIK cameras can be identified by the dust/grain patterns on their lenses. Probably no risk of random users doxxing you through that, but I don't feel comfortable opening myself up to mass surveillance like that.

It benefits rich people, since they have less contact with the 'unwashed masses' this way. On top of that, many invest in real estate.
