It's 2024 Peter. The question should be "You don't have a phone and speaker/headphones?" Spotify (even the free version) will get you all the country music you can handle and even create playlists based on your favourite song or performer.
I think we had a fair bit of discussion about this when it happened.
For me the take-home message was, don't build a vehicle that's going down to depths where the pressure is 6,000psi, out of a carbon fibre shell mated to a steel hemisphere.
Not really a surprise. Trump will be squealing like a thwarted tanty-throwing baby if it doesn't go his way in November.
I really hope Kamala and her VP pick can keep the momentum going and thrash the arrogant prick.
Depends. If you get no pleasure from pain, then god is happy.
However if the flagellation is increasing your pleasure, you're on the express elevator to hell.

It's all related due to the polarising and coalescing effects of misinformation on social media.
There were just as many crazies before, but they didn't know each other and couldn't spread misinformation instantaneously.
That's why there's never been a Trump-like figure rise to the top of the heap before. His "alternate facts" would have no traction in a world without social media. Fact-checked "real" media would have laughed him out of the race long before he got to the white house.
It's also why the rioting is so bad in England - I think it was reported on social media that the arsehole who killed 3 children was an immigrant where he was actually born in England (if I have that right).
