It's hard to say without knowing what country you're in now. PRC is an undemocratic system to be embraced, escaped, or endured, but so are PRK, Iran, and a bunch others

OTOH, Canada or the USA were designed on the assumption that you'd agitate for the form of government. If you're in either one, especially if you're a citizen, you should definitely argue for the government you want.

The rest of the world is an interesting mix of "started undemocratic, embraced democracy" to "started democratic, embraced autocracy."

Update: this is, in fact, hilarious.

If it keeps up my smartwatch may either cure my tinitus or else inflict it upon all those nearby.

That's... A bold idea which may or may not be hilarious.

If I slam the button at the end do two more random notifications go out?

I would guess that it's actually a jargonification of extant words.

Merriam Webster includes a neat etymology section on the definitions I linked, that traces both words to the Renaissance (ish). The entry for "maze" does note an alternate definition as a neurological test with at least one dead end, but (1) that doesn't match the claim OP's article headline makes and (2) scientific jargon is not common English.

(If jargon WERE common English, we'd have an entirely different argument about tomatoes being fruits or vegetables.)

It's not for cooking, it's for tool testing.

If you want to test how well someone's fancy cleaning detergent works on stains, or if their claim that a new knife shape makes spreading easier, you want a very standard peanut butter.

Ceremony can be a PITA,.no argument here.

But I would be shocked if Nintendo made a digital "eject" erase anything on the local console.

Fort Liberty had its name changed back to Fort Bragg by racists.

Please don't spread racist propaganda or take their

Assume that, for the first time in his life, Donald meant what he said. Pretend that he won't change his mind or panic, and assume that the same GOP which keeps missing Speaker of the House election layups won't break and let the Democrats take the tariff power away

The midterm congressional elections are always a swing to the other party. The Democrats are more likely to take at least one chamber of Congress than Trump is to say something dumb. But let's assume that for some reason they only take one, and you get gridlock enough to preserve the tarrifs until the next POTUS takes office in January 2029.

A factory would need to break even by that time to be worth a quick investment. And not just break even, but leave you with more wealth than if you just bought a bunch of crypto and stayed home until this all passes. And if you signed an deal today, your break even points might be as soon as only 45 months away.

You can't even get a car loan with a team that short.

This isn't true. Go look up the definition for either word, and it doesn't comport with the usage rules claimed.

If you do want to draw a sharp distinction in modern usage, you could posit that a labyrinth is a type of maze that was made intentionally and can be walked through.

As I understand it, switch 1 digital games are console-bound, but you can migrate your whole console to a new device (such as if your switch breaks.). This was terrible and unfriendly, and why almost all of my family's switch games are physical.

I doubt "share once and let everyone play but the owner" was an intentional promise from Nintendo, but I'd have no trouble believing a tale about their DRM checks leaving open a hole like that.

If we still need to buy one copy of a gamer per simultaneous player,.then the rest of the differences are just ceremony.

Nothing indicates that moving a Nintendo digital card requires uninstalling the game locally. It just, like steam, does a DRM check to see if it's being played elsewhere.

Steam sells non-transferable lifetime licenses to each game you "buy", that let you play it on one PC at a time but never transfer it to anyone else, even as part of an inheritance after your death.

If you have a family there is a "sharing" plan which allows you to let family members also play some of the games in your library, but not at the same time.

Nintendo is imposing a bit more ceremony if you want to share digital games each time you share them, but the essential "one device at a time" nature is the same that steam imposes.
