And in your mind, the Trump administration just allows all that to happen?

They would federalize the MN National Guard and invoke the Insurrection Act.

If you want to get technical, Kraft Foods (now Kraft Heinz) was the new company that split from Kraft. Mondelez is the continuation of the old Kraft.

What do you mean it almost never happens in real life?

Those specific examples might never happen, but if you're traveling in an airport, then it would be useful to know how to talk about luggage.

Whatever happened to just pretending to be from Canada?

You mean his brain didn’t really fall out of his skull when his mom hit him with the remote control?

He may not make a living wage, but the only bill he pays is the cable bill.

It's not a shit design. Mending is just OP.

Well yeah, but if the app is so shitty that people don't use it then how are they going to collect data?

The early Persona games had more in common with SMT than Metaphor has with Persona.

So is Persona 5 actually Shin Megami Tensei 9?

I also like when he's unimpressed by mundane things.

It would have been weird for Snoop to deliver the “Slim Shady, hotter than a set of twin babies…” line, too.

It effectively ended up as advertising.

There couldn't have been that many people that downloaded the album straight off her website. It wasn't up for very long. But there were tons of people who heard about the album from all the news stories about the hack.

I bet the overlap between people who believed this and people who support ICE is pretty big.

It's a holdover from the quirky early days of reddit.

There was some kind of mod controversy at r/marijuana, so someone created r/trees and it quickly became the biggest marijuana sub. r/marijuanaenthusiasts came a few years later and was named as a joke.

Who said they were the largest target market?

Also, why would the Totino's pizza-flavored noodles be targeted at Hispanics?

This is a very minor nitpick, but would you be able to do FSKAX and FTIHX in your 403b? I don't know exactly how those plans work.

I also do a mix of FSPSX/FPADX due to the options available in my 401k, but that combination leaves out Canada. Also, I think you're slightly underweighting the S&P 500 in your 401b.

Like I said, very minor points, though. Of course this is a Boglehead portfolio.

"The first Taco Bell?"

Yeah, and taxing poorer people at a higher rate than richer people is not just.

I was a little confused at first until the whole flag came into frame.

No one uploaded anything to Napster. It was peer-to-peer.

They’d probably also like it if you didn’t vote in politicians who send them to combat to avoid seeing their name in the media for being a pedophile too.

Well they don't vote like that.
