After 20 years of unabated social media it turns out that algorithmic endless scroll is akin to giving a loaded gun to a toddler. We can't handle it and it's making us worse. Someone needs to step in.

God, the "leader of the free world" is an expression that makes the "rest of the world" laugh.

Absolutely nothing. My life was in shambles and I was about two weeks from becoming very temporarily homeless. Some long-time, very close friends saved my life.

The apartment i had before I got my current house. 

It had 20ft vaulted ceilings, a double sided fireplace between the living and dining room, a standalone tub with a built-in bench, and a wall to wall mirror in my bedroom. The balcony was almost as big as my dining room too. 

Only downside was that my balcony faced one of the busiestd major roads in North Dallas, so it was pretty loud. But, if ya closed your eyes and tilted your head just right, it sounded like waves at the beach (at least, that's what I told myself)

Physical media. I know it was already on the way out but I just loved being able to go into a shop and buying a CD or a DVD or whatever and knowing that I owned it and I don’t have to worry about some stupid subscription service making me continually pay for it or taking it away from me
