Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13
The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

New polling finds that most Democratic voters want the current leaders of the Democratic Party to be replaced, as current leadership has failed to unite behind a coherent message to resist President Donald Trump’s fascist power grab.

ICE is a rogue agency modeling itself on the gestapo, but this is ALSO a symptom of the fact that trump lied to people about how many undocumented “criminals” there were in this country. They’re now trying to fill their quotas with people doing everything right to comply with the law.
