We need more "Explain things like I'm a programmer" explanations. I've tried to grok music theory several times. I've never understood the scale/notes, notations. The 2nd array (with sharps and flats) and coupl

Almost to the point were this is not newsworthy. As in its so common, expected, and not novel. Like it’s not a major story when someone is found driving without insurance.

Yep. Censorship doesn't work. At least not centralized censorship at scale.

Obviously in minority here (wonder if because never having played or seen I have no nostalgia, I’m 50 and played EGA games back then ). But I don’t see it. The VGA looks fine. The space scene OA labels cheap looks way better to me. The EGA

First protected class is a legal construct that varies by jurisdiction and application. And a whole lot more than then handful enumerated deserve protection. Veteran, family status and religion are protected classes you can choose to be in.

One of the biggest in progress "reforms" is decriminalizing marijuana and end of the "war on drugs" in general. Keeping 20% of prison population from ever going there.
