Christmas lights. Everyone needing a bigger or better display, or needing to put something out when they can't afford the electric bills. Folks feeling the need to put out something because the people around them are.

Yes, but it depends.

We had S8s that were getting noticably slow. We upgraded to S21s when those came out and those are significantly faster and haven't slowed down.

We use our phones a lot, so significant slow down is noticable and annoying. But our phones are fine right now, so no reason to upgrade.

Because that community decided to leave and start a place here when things blew up. Other communities didn't. They're active, so people hang out there. There's a fairly low barrier to entry for new folks to participate (a lot of people have watched some Star Trek).

Really, having an active community say, we're leaving and setting up shop here goes a long way. I wish my niche subreddit had done so as well.

They're doing a reboot?

I mean, indulgences were a large part about why Martin Luther split from the church to begin with.

Let's stop pretending T$R was a bastion of consumer values.

There's a lot of christian cults. You're only describing catholics here.

I was raised catholic and kids in other christian cults called me a devil worshipper.

600K people spread across the US really isn't that many to deal with. Even if they were all in one place, they wouldn't be able to do much damage to most of the country before being contained.

1 in 8 being food insecure also is not high enough. Choosing less nutritious food options is a measurement of it, so you could still be eating, just not good food because you live in the middle of a food desert. Most folks in the US are not food insecure.

You're going to have to tick that number up to over half of the US not being able to eat once a day or more. Like the depression, or worse, but without any government assistance.

It means both. Welcome to English.

Honestly, that's probably the healthiest way for people in that profession to approach it.

Olives, corn, Taco Bell hot sauce.

It does, but you don't have to buy their litter, as long as the one you get does the same thing.
