You can even not use it if you live in the US. There's nothing that enforces you put a date in there (and nothing to verify if it's correct, which is why people say it's not age verification).

Even the author of BNW wasn't sure of the world really was a dystopia or not. A lot of people do seem to have a lot of freedom, and most seem happy (or at least, not unhappy). Sure, a lot of questionable things have been done to achieve that goal, but if 99% is happy with their life; can it really be a dystopia?

Half-Life Alyx came out in 2020 and was pretty good.

He's done his best to scrub the footage, but here's an interview where he's questioned about it, and he defends doing it as a joke. The video also has a short snippet of the footage where he does shove it up his ass.

It's easier to find screenshots of the whole incident, video is harder to come by.

Rumor has it that Marvel was worried it would bomb, and naming it "New Avengers" would put them in an awkward position moving forward. Thunderbolts was the backup-insurance-title basically.

Now that the movie seems to be doing well, it's getting its proper title.

Which is weird too, like he's not charged with a crime so what makes him different from a random El Salvadoran citizen?

The American playbook is: coup unfriendly regime, install friendly government, get trade agreements, use economic dominance to enrich the US via trade (with the occasional "set up US company to take control of natural resources"). The US was very open that they liked Putin because it seemed he would be liberalising Russia for a while, which furthered American corporate interests in Russia.

Putin turning ultranationalist has thrown a massive wrench into that plan, because now US corporations are being forced to exit Russia again. The damage that that is doing is greater than what Lockheed Martin gets for supplying weapons. It's also in part why Trump, beholden to US corporate interests, is so keen to end the war. Because that makes the US more money than keeping it going. And as it happens, that's also what Putin wants because he can pressure Trump to end the war in Russia's favour.

Doesn't higher interests mean more money is spent paying those interests, meaning less money is available to spend on other things which in turn reduces the monetary supply in circulation which curbs inflation?

Glad to see things will improve in the US!
