I bought the second cheapest package a decade ago. I've enjoyed more time watching videos going over new updates and covering development than I have playing the Alphas. Did I get my money's worth? Probably not. Do I really care? No. I've wasted more money on bigger disappointments over the years.

I think I fall in the same camp of agreeing with a good chunk of his points while disagreeing with others and I even have laughed at many of his jokes. And I'm totally fine with that for people I enjoy watching. However, what turned me off of Bill Maher a decade ago was his overall manner and attitude. He just started coming across as arrogant, obnoxious, smarmy, and untimately unkind, even when I agreed with him, which I did not enjoy. It was much in contrast to other satirists who may have mocked people, never felt like they were out to denigrate. Maybe his content has changed, but I haven't noticed.

The proposal doesn't ban the party, it suggests banning extremist individuals convicted of things like inciting hatred from running for office. In effect, it puts a damper on extreme individual members of a party that doesn't itself reach the threshold for prohibition as a party. So I can see the logic behind it. But I agree it's a dicey proposal and ripe for political abuse. Still, it would be contingent on court decisions so it could work with a strong (just/uncorrupt) court system.

Pretty sure the idea of due process extends to ensuring the government respects "certain unalienable rights" that America recognizes all people are born with--that includes non-citizens

They don't want no women, they want subservient women. Think Handmaid's Tale in space.

Most of the traditional automakers will do keys or key fob without an app AFAIK.

For usability/get in and go, you can't go wrong with a Toyota or Honda. Perhaps consider a used Prius prime (PHEV) if you're on a budget

For them, crying is a mark of their weakness and hypocrisy. It's laughable to them and adds to their sadistic joy.

Given the world's track record with the 2nd and 3rd greatest world powers, I imagine the same if not tamer with the 1st greatest world power. Heavy sanctions only when they actually invade a "western" country.

"You misunderstood my bigotry as hurtful." Not "I understand my views were bigoted and therefore hurtful."

The hyper-positivity and enthusiasm is because his content is aimed at kids as much as it is adults. A lot of kid-oriented science content I remember, from tv shows/documentaries to guest speakers, to science-centre guides had that affect.
