there was a pretty serious resurgence of it around waitforit the turn of the millennia back in 1999/2000
I know a lot of people have that perception, but it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Do you know of any studies that have looked into this?

That how I interpreted it too, but has there really been that much of an increase? The Wikipedia articles they linked doesn’t mention any increase at the turn of the century.
According to Wikipedia, Millenarianism has been around for a long time, and it sounds like the Christian “rapture” is a good example. Your post seems to imply it’s a recent thing (ie. 21st century), but maybe I’m misinterpreting what you’re trying to say?
Yes and no. All Android phones run some variation of Linux actually.
At this point, that’s kind of like saying Macs run a variation of BSD. It’s technically true, but not practically useful in most cases.
They are fundamentally different types of vehicles. But putting that aside, if you want to compare the largest payload that each vehicle can transport you wouldn’t just use the pickup truck’s GVWR, you would also include it’s towing capacity. There’s a reason 90% of the time people use a pickup to haul something, they’re towing.
This is why we can directly compare the two vehicles payload capacity.
No, comparing a zeppelin with a pickup will never be a direct comparison.
You’re comparing a pickup truck to a zeppelin, there’s no way to make that apples to apples. If someone needs to move something big with a truck they’re probably going to tow it, not try to load it into the bed.
They only need 2 kids for just the tickets alone to be $800/day. That’s not including hotel, transportation, food, etc. It’s easy to see how 7 days could cost them $7000.
Because of their smaller and the switch to helium Zeppelin NTs has a miniscule payload capacity at 4200 pounds. To put that into perspective that’s the same payload capacity as a Ford F250.
And that’s only the bed capacity. An F250 can tow over 20,000 lbs depending on the trailer design. Most trucks and SUVs can tow >4200lbs.
Of course, advertisers don’t need to run positive or moral ads, though.
Of course not, they’re the customers so they’re always right. And the “product” is tightly regulated.
Your entire post is calling out Samsung, but don’t smart TV manufacturers show ads?
Can you recommend a manufacturer who doesn’t display ads? It doesn’t help to single out one company if they’re all doing it.
Are you referring to this, or something else?
“Tribal?” A lot of Democrats supported this, it seems like a rare example of bipartisan cooperation to me. Why do you think it’s an example of tribalism?
Our species’s default mode is to be cynical and lazy and I hate it.
Oh, the irony… A less cynical perspective would be that as a whole humans are pretty empathetic, and most people want to live in a world where everyone is happy.
I don’t think you’re being downvoted because anyone disagrees with you. Of course the terrorist organization should stop terrorizing people. But your comment really comes across as apologizing for the civilian deaths.
“You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”
which in turn makes the American-led democratic world order a huge hypocrisy.
Not a hypocrisy, just a falsehood. America’s federal government doesn’t have as much influence on global politics as a lot of people seem to believe.
If everyone got what their work was worth then the company couldn’t make profit as each individual’s contribution and pay would scale proportinally.
How much do you think C-suites are truly worth? If everyone’s salary should scale up, does that mean they’re currently underpaid?
Also, why do you think you’re overpaid?
No, yuzu’s main problem was being a for-profit company. That seemed to be central to Nintendo’s case against them. The company behind yuzu was making millions.
