Creatures of the world experience the next extinction-level event after two enormous arm-shaped protrusions in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean come crashing down, causing tsunamis of unimaginable size and ferocity. They take solace in knowing that their home planet is a “bro.”

As a gamer, I’m going to assume RTS stands for Real-Time Strategy. I read somewhere a long time ago that just because a term is in the form of an acronym, that doesn’t change what comes before it. So in this case, it’s proper to use ‘a’ rather than ‘an.’ However, I acknowledge that saying ‘a RTS’ sounds icky, so I tend to use the “incorrect,” ‘an RTS.’

I can see the devices you use mattering. Where were you watching the videos? Do you have the Amazon app installed on the same device, or on a device with a microphone? My tin-foil hat theory is that the Amazon app is always listening from your phone, based on similar things happening to my wife.

If a kid’s got their parent’s credit card, I doubt they will bother with requesting a refund. They’ll just smash other ‘buy’ buttons until the game they want is downloaded. I’m sure some adults are like this, too…

Because the chances of someone who disagrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic is much higher than someone who agrees with progressives being a murderous lunatic.

I bought a 2020 Honda Accord, and I have absolutely zero (meaningful) complaints.

Things I like about it so much that they are requirements for future car purchases:

  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Brake-holding
  • Tactile inputs for media, cruise control, or climate control (almost wasn’t going to mention this, but new cars are shifting away from this, which I can’t stand)
  • A respectably-snappy infotainment system that supports CarPlay

Little things:

  • Adaptive cruise control is always ready to be set, so I can just head out and immediately start using it (I’m one of those people who likes to use cruise control at every possible opportunity)
  • Comfortably seats 4, if I ever need it to
  • It just looks nice, inside and out, in my opinion

And I’m sure a depressing number of people will believe it’s real
