Did things suddenly become worse for those types of things around 2014? If that was the cause, I feel like you’d see a bump up in 2008 with the great recession.

It’s a consonant. Specifically it’s the voiced palatal approximant represented as ⟨j⟩ in IPA.
Introverts don’t not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. “You’re not people” is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.
“I could care less” is almost always said sarcastically. A hallmark of sarcasm is saying the opposite of what you mean. So, a sarcastic “I could care less” implies they could not care less.
Right? Grown ups can be trusted to get their work done without someone watching them all the time. It’s small children who need constant supervision.
In exchange, Microsoft can give them some special access or special keys or some backdoor.
They might be doing this. The thing is, putting something like that in makes so much more likely you’ll accidentally create an exploit for other actors as well. It’s why security experts are so against backdoors. They fundamentally compromise security.
The presented scenario was comparing not forgiving loans to not releasing people for drug convictions. I don’t see how you can say going into debt for an education was a poorer choice than risking a conviction and jail time for weed.
The illegal part is key to it being at least as stupid. A drug conviction can change your life just as surely as student debt.
Doing illegal drugs is at least as dumb a choice as getting into debt to get an education.
Ok then switch to streaming. My point was just that just because you have a VHS collection doesn’t mean you can’t get media in another way and still use your VHS collection. And most people would use both while they transitioned. Throwing out all your VHSs for the hot new thing isn’t something a lot of people did. Or throwing out all your DVDs because streaming is a thing. People aren’t restricted to one thing.
Right-wing media often have weird takes about, well, everything. If there’s something negative going on in the economy, they’ll definitely blame democrats even if it makes no sense. And their solutions are just bizarre. Like they boycott products by buying them and then destroying them.
So, I think the question is is there actually evidence people are selling right now because they were told to?
My point is people still used that VHSs. They just also bought DVDs. For most people, you didn’t only use one. I think most people went through a period where they used both.
Because they’re engaging in harmful behaviors and need to be broken up and regulated.
I’m not talking about replacing your VHS collection but buying DVDs in addition. You would still watch both. Maybe buying a DVD player was a barrier. But it wasn’t that you owned VHS.
You don’t pre-emptively punish people not causing harm. That’s a bad way to go.
You don’t need to bring your library. Having your library split between multiple platforms isn’t a big deal and most people do it. You just don’t give them any more money.
People didn’t not buy DVDs because they had a library of VHSs.
“Let’s wait for them to start doing illegal stuff before we use the law against them.” Yeah, of course.
If they hiked prices above what other stores offered, consumers would leave. If they lowered prices to be untenable for developers, developers would leave, and consumers would follow (they’d probably grumble, but they’d go where the games are). There isn’t a lock in for future sales on either side. So do you think they can do whatever they want with prices with no consequences?

HBO owns it in the UK. Weirdly, I couldn’t find an active entry in the US database.
When they’re really little, high contrast is more clear and theoretically more interesting. There’s a lot of black and white toys aimed at newborns for that reason.
