Unless you're Paul Rudd.

On VHS...

A lot of old Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons, The Lion King, Rocky Horror Picture Show

Things like that.

Walk on a train track alone without a flagman.

A lot of people used to be miserable in families and relationships. Now they can be miserable alone.

Probably Acky Breaky Heart.

This was a serious answer.

Like most other countries, expect that a lot of people only treat what they can afford. A lot of Go Fund Me sites have been created due to expensive medical treatments.

Yes, but the best deals are likely in Eastern Europe. Also, if you do this, you will need to pay cash. However, it might be cheaper/easier than in the USA.

The problem is that wealth inequality in the USA has an age component.

Boomers are far wealthier than previous generations at their equivalent age as a percentage of national wealth. They are also incredibly sensitive to taxes as their retirement depends on managing wealth.

In contrast, Gen X and millennials are poorer than Boomers at their equivalent age and mainly contribute to the economy with their labor.

It isn't a perfect divide, but there is a wealth divide that represents itself somewhat as a generational divide.

Yeah, but I don't see Cuomo winning over Mamdani. Mamdani beat Cuomo on first round voting and likely was going to pick up many second+ round votes.

The only way Cuomo wins is if he can steal a lot of Adams's votes, which I doubt.

The Gulf Monarchies would have sold them oil in the same way they have been doing to the US as hegemon.

And the USA has significantly intervened in Middle East politics.

It is likely that Nazi Germany would intervene in the Middle East to secure its oil; the various nation-states were still forming and borders were somewhat volatile. Germany would likely intervene to ensure that the oil flows.

Also, after a while, the German state would need another infusion of money and cheap Arab oil would be a perfect resource to bring under control of the Nazi state.

American culture was a major export during the Great Depression, so it is likely that American culture would continue to be an export unless the USA ceased to exist.

I would just expect Nazi Germany to censor and control some of America's cultural exports. Hitler liked Disney movies, for instance. However, jazz was banned.

Not OP, but Germany was likely going to experience a deep recession after the war. However, it is likely that the Nazis would push the cost of the economy shrinking to its enslaved peoples. There would likely be French deindustrialization, a Polish genocide, and building of cruel colonial networks around Germany. The Nazi Party could probably survive Hitler; I suspect the political functioning would be similar to China's Politboro but with a more independent military.

Italy could possibly see the fascist government fall. Mussolini wasn't in control of Italy the same way that Hitler was of Germany. I could see a political crisis occur in Italy where the Italian government falls apart, Germany stabilizes Italian possessions, then Germany keeps the Italian possessions after the new government doesn't adequately swear fealty to Germany.

Well, they fired the guy who said Israel was America'a worst ally.

I'm not here because I was banned. I'm here because Reddit ditched the way I accessed the site on my phone.

And honestly, the cashier doesn't deserve hearing the rest of it unless they ask why.

You're getting into a problem with education where there is value in providing ordeals for students to pass, but the cost of grading is significant and something schools are trying to reduce.

How do you create a system that verifies that the test taker knows the material?

Mmm... Cheesey...

For a while, there was generally an international consensus that nuclear weapon proliferation was bad, mainly because it was thought that the likelihood of using nuclear weapons would go up as more nations had them.

It was wrong for Trump to ditch the Iranian nuclear deal, but the original deal was a deal with most of the major nuclear powers including Russia and China. There was an international interest to prevent nuclear proliferation.

I don't think it is right for the US to attack Iran regarding nuclear proliferation as Trump has been negotiating in bad faith, but that it is the idea where developing nuclear weapons is a bad thing which requires an international response comes from.

I don't think they are nonsense, but they better fit the work rather than the artist. Artists shift genres all the time.
