Oh man, I envy your opinion of other people. Hold onto that as long as you can.

You're probably right, but you'd have to make it to court. Not everyone does..

Depends on which American you're speaking to. It's a big country.

Don't do it if you're trying to date your sister.

Try to look at it from the perspective of the person you're talking to. Nobody wants to make a fool of themselves, and assuming someone is interested (without evidence) is a great way for someone to become very embarrassed. Flirting is how you subtly let a person know it's safe to suppose you might be into them and proceed accordingly. Conversations and invitations that are completely devoid of flirtation will instead tell them that you're just being polite or friendly.

So it's important!

If you're talking about your computer and you have access to its keyboard, you can't beat screenshot keyboard shortcuts!

But if you're talking about your TV or some screen you're not in control of, fair enough. For anyone wondering, the reason this is tough to correct with an app is because your little bitty lens is trying to capture a grid of millions of LEDs to your itty bitty camera's sensor, which has its own pixel grid that almost certainly doesn't match up with the grid you're photographing. Also, photographing a colored light source makes white balance tricky for any camera, and this is a bunch of light sources that are kind of in motion, because LEDs give off rapid pulses of light, not a steady light. Modern camera apps are getting better at antialiasing to smooth it all out and using AI models to try to guess what the image was supposed to look like, but you'll usually still see some Moire effect from those mismatched grids. I wonder if we'll ever see a solution to this while LED screens continue to exist in their current form.

We're pretty lucky we can capture a shitty image of what's onscreen, though. Just ask anybody who's tried to photograph a CRT.

The phrase came originally from Wayne's World, which was first an SNL sketch, yeah. Bill & Ted aren't from SNL, though, and predate Wayne and Garth by a good bit. Bill & Ted said "party on," among other things, but not "party time, excellent." That's specifically the Wayne's World theme song iirc.

Legally integrated, but I wouldn't say fully. Source: living in the South.

Would the shrinkage in the labor force make it impossible to provide end of life care and financial support as the larger generations age?

Not to promote violence, but I'm afraid nothing is likely to change until people are pushed far enough to do more than hope.

Wtf is "redneck agenda," the farmers almanac?

The highlighted section of that link reads as follows:

The research found that putting the toilet lid down reduced the number of both visible and smaller droplets during and after flushing by 30-60%. However, use of the lid also increased the diameter and concentration of the bacteria in these droplets.

The article doesn't indicate whether the total bacteria contained in the now larger and more concentrated droplets is thought to be comparable to that contained in the full spray of open-lid droplets, which means a precise comparison isn't available, so technically I guess it could go either way. However, common sense tells us that many of those microorganisms will either get stuck to the underside of the lid or fall back into the water, so it seems nearly impossible that closed-lid flushing could spray 100% of the microorganisms that open-lid flushing does, right? So if the best (seemingly unlikely) scenario for open-lid flushing is that maybe it only sprays the exact same number of farticles into the air, then what's the appeal?
