Uncommon around me and I'm in a pretty pluralistic area with lots of churches, temples, mosques, etc within a couple miles. The only one I get is the alert system test on the same day and hour once a month. I think beyond a certain decibel would violate public noise ordinances.

If actors have good safety measures & enforced regulations I think it's a positive thing for viewers in moderation. Some folks have trouble with moderation or telling the difference between fantasy and reality though and should be more cautious.

Celebrities drum up drama about themselves to try to stay relevant when they shill whatever product they work on. He was talking shit about a couple actors in an interview or whatever and people defended the other person which just proliferated the fake drama further, he's probably got something coming out in 2026.

Please label your coordinate axes

When we were kids my parents would put some snacks & gum/mints and the biggest & juiciest apples and oranges I had ever seen, it doesn't have to be expensive or complicated sometimes. For something a little nerdier maybe a puzzle, book like a comic, novel, or almanac, or maybe a handheld synth or sampler like the teenage engineering pocket operators or stylophone or something similar.

Not excusing, just explaining; if you're kept isolated and ignorant by an undermined education system, geographically and social media algorithm bubbled, limited economic prospects, and normalized extreme right wing religious propaganda you get these feelings like you would be morally justified in spreading your particular xenophobic bigoted view to others by force to 'save' them or society or whatever. It's not uniquely American, it's the same right wing, nationalistic, authoritarian rhetoric used as everywhere else, it's just more religious believing countries tend to be more susceptible to this type of ideology rhetoric because it usually uses the same language and feelings as religious belief. Idaho has like 20% LDS, it's second only to Utah most states are 1-5%.

extinct terror bird holding a horse in it's mouth, but the size difference is goofy it's holding the whole horse in it's beak meaning either the bird is like 5 times bigger than actual or the horse is only a foot long
