But if you break apart Google, how will they afford to keep killing off their own services!?!

God he's just Nazeem.
"Do you get to the Yale campus very often? Oh, what am I saying? Of course you don't."
I have a similar odd thing that I can only descibe as being fascinated with articulation.
Robots, skeletons, suits of armor, dolls, gears, some insects.
Something made of distinct pieces moving in articulated ways, it's a downright core desire.
I also like things separated but still connected like by a string, cable, or wireless. Like kites, security cameras, or drones.
I used to have a toy fishing rod with a rubber fish at the end that I love just throwing in the lake and realing back in. It just tickles my brain.
And more similar to yours, I really love spreadsheets! They can do so many things!
The most immaculate well researched pickles ever seen.
But I'm getting bored, I should learn how to write, or maybe draw, or maybe dance.
No I got it, I'll shift my focus to an obscure Github program I'm using to test a weird thought I had!
I'll finish this burger later...
As a Gen-Z, I feel this divide is the result of our gen growing up on the internet and Gen-Alpha growing up in the internet. Like culturally I feel Gen-Z still had roots to reality hidden behind layers of absurdism and abstraction. Gen-Alpha however feels like it's generating new cultural landmarks with no connections to reality.
Like, skibidi was absurdist humor, which is now being covered by absurdist layers. It's absurdism all the way down! It's like some twisted form of enlightenment. To clarify I don't say this in a necessarily negative light, I just think it's interesting from the viewpoint of our species as a whole.
I know Gen-Z was experiencing a stage of wanting to assert real connections to the world against algorithmic forces, before covid that is, now I think we're a little scattered again.
Happened to my brother, normal democrat who agreed with feminism and disliked Trump.
Then fiancee left him for another man, took a hard right thanks to Jordan Peterson.
Exactly why he feels like a great pick. He didn't over engineer some tagline to game the attention economy.
He just said what the silent majority is thinking in a down to earth "this is so obvious" kind of way. These people are just weird and ruining the family gathering.
I'm just hoping Kamala and him are able to give America the Minnesota treatment. We won't need these state reforms if they happen on the federal level instead.
I once used Remove Curse to end an enemies attunement to a cursed amulet possessing them mid combat.
It has that curse of It Gets Better Later™, I say this as a genuine fan of the anime.
It goes into surprisingly poignant commentaries on social injustices like supremecist hate groups and slavery.
But if you don't like silly rubber guy doing silly things then it won't be worth your trouble.
People like Mr.Beast gain their massive success from producing overstimulating content that attracts a forever young audience that doesn't recognize the basic manipulation and scams that he employs.
This is what politics would turn into if we earnestly let kids vote. Manipulating child audiences is practically a science now.
Even discounting that, in 2016 when I was 16 I was a "both sides are bad" centrist type. I simply didn't have the roots to consider how things like basic public policies would affect me personally. You need some grounded experience in order to realize that the things on screen will affect you and your community directly.
