Cool. Now explain "deus vult" and the Jerusalem Cross in the context of their modern usage in North America.

There's an edge case where you want the guys in balaclavas to show up.

I'm in my 40s and have multiple long-standing circles of friends going back decades (each with their own group chat). I even made new friends recently through channels other than my existing friends (started going to local fighting game community events).

I definitely feel bad for the people who talk about having very few or even no close friends and seem to frame it as some kind of inevitability that comes with adulthood. Life without my friends would absolutely be a lot worse.

I'm from Canada and had to explain to border officers what my accommodations and means of personal support would be for a two week stay in the US. I was almost denied entry because I wasn't carrying sufficient cash on hand.

That was almost twenty years ago.

It's also possible that audio recording being a thing that exists will slow changes in language as well.

Same. Didn't even realise they were different images until after I read the text.

C# also has verbatim strings, in which you can just put a literal newline.

string foo = @"This string 
has a line break!";

It's the same as any other non-liquid asset. Sure, you could argue that the value dropping is only a loss if you sell during the dip, but you're still better off if you can sell before it happens.

Backwards as in half of foster kids, not half of homeless people.
