Sea shanties just hit different, especially when sung by native speakers.

I didn't want to go into all factors that lead to this observation because that would take too long and require more research on my part. Fear of retaliation (and desire for power) is more an explanation of at least why members of his own party won't criticize him.
This doesn't answer your question but is more of an interesting observation that fits your question. It seems bar for political leaders' mistakes has gotten so low over the pass few decades.
In the early 90s then VP Dan Quayle misspelled potato (though apparently not 100% his fault) and he was labeled an idiot by the entire country. Bush had a lot of funny Bushisms but most are either weird, poorly worded, malapropisms, or a mix of all three.
Then you have Trump. And while there are definitely people who think he's an idiot, it doesn't seem as widespread of a belief as it was for Quayle or Bush. I think part of it is because Trump is far more sensitive to criticism than any president we've seen so he'll go after people who say anything negative about him. But I'm sure there are other reasons as well (ex: politicized news channels, social media, technology etc)
Had a 5 cheese Stromboli. Nothing was wrong with it but I did find out my lactose intolerance had advanced from stomachaches and gas to full on diarrhea.
Thanks for the tip. I had thought of doing Home Assistant to automate things like lights but I use the Echo for other stuff too (like reminders and weather). I guess I'll just wait for the open source tech to catch up.
How disheartening. I knew going in that there would be privacy issues but I figured for the service it was fine. I also figure my phone is always listening anyway.
As someone with limited mobility, my echo has been really nice to control my smart devices like lights and TV with just my voice.
Are there good alternatives or should I just accept things as they are?
Game of Tones is one of my favorite episodes of the whole show but I don't think I'd call it underrated. I feel like it's pretty constantly mentioned when talking about sad episodes.
