Yeah, I remember thinking all of these terms were strange and creepy back when I first learnt them as a kid for goodness' sake. They've always been bad and I'm very glad they're finally going away.
No it's just fucking luck. Think about those people in air conditioned offices controlling the drone strikes that double-tapped weddings in Iraq and Afghanistan with their Xbox controller while watching it all on live video. How many of them are sitting in front of the nuclear button, just waiting for the order?
Yeah the consumerist rhetoric in game reviews (and the entire technology press more broadly) dooms all of their attempts at analysis to be extremely shallow. Maybe one day a journalist will pay attention in one of their media studies classes and read the fucking Adorno reading that one of their teachers assigned, but that day has not yet come.
Hold on to that leverage over your employer with a union
In the sense of “liberal” as used in political philosophy or how the word is applied to party names in most countries around the world, yes Bush was a liberal. Americans tend to use the word differently though, since both major US parties are pro-business liberal parties, of a sort. This maybe applies a bit less to the Republicans today than in did in GHW Bush’s day, although by how much is still up for debate.
This is mostly correct, but you forgot to include some of the states and territories. If the easternmost part of the US is the Virgin Islands, and the westernmost part is Guam, then the geographical Midwest of the US is the Eastern Pacific Ocean. This is an inarguable truth. The capital of the Midwest is Honolulu.
Given how much more difficult it is to cross borders in the 21st century, I wonder if draft dodgers fleeing the US like they did in the '60s and '70s is even possible anymore.
If you can't or don't want to root the phone and install your own de-Googled Android rom then you could get an Android phone designed for mainland China, which will come with all of the Google stuff already removed.

No, but back then some planes had payphones on the seat back where the touch screen entertainment systems are now.
