I think what happened is:

-Initially it was terrible, but it was not imposed on you, so you just ignored it and kept typing as if it weren't even there, unless you legit could not figure out how to spell a word.

-Then it got better and gave decent suggestions occasionally, so people started integrating into their typing workflow as an assistant to quickly complete common words, or to figure out longer/more complex words.

-Somewhere along the way it began to impose itself on your typing to the point where it was expected that you would accept its suggestions the majority of the time. So even if it's right 98% of the time, having to manually fight with it every other sentence is a MAJOR hassle

As a simple illustration of the last point, I remember the default behavior was that if you started to backspace an autocorrected word, the system assumed it got it wrong and let you fix it. Now the default behavior is to ignore you and keep autocorrecting until you tap a special key to insist you know what you are doing (at least on my Samsung phone)

Elon Musk is the homeopathic principle applied to leadership.

This is missing a panel in the middle:

That's Thallium (Tl). Titanium (Ti) is a happy shade of green.

(I'm only replying because I thought that same thing at first glance)

Right? This tweet feels like it should be straightforward to parse, but the only thing I've got is the whole "M&Ms are woke because they made the green one less sexy" kerfuffle from.a few years back.

Hooters being on the same team as the Bible has me scratching my head!

But that means Pac-Man is eating the burritos edge-on which is clearly insane, since he eata them in one chomp.. You might be onto something, but i don't think burrito is the answer.

Also, if ICE was only going after the "real" criminals, what the fuck do we need ICE for? We've already got a stupidly-overfunded law enforcement and prison apparatus.

The fact that we need a separate agency to go after immigrants pretty much admits that the intent is to go after non-criminals.

Regardless of the assumption of how many people are nefarious or how actually effective TSA is, your point stands.

If they screen normally 99% of the time, then the occasional relaxing of the checks just means that the effectiveness has gone from X to 0.99*X.

TSA is security theater, but this isn't the evidence of that.

Tragically, the funding was cut in ~~Trump's~~ Schumer's Big Beautiful Bill.

They are concerned, but not concerned enough to risk losing reelection by going on record as being concerned.

I'm playing that game right now, but I think I need to turn up the music volume. I've heard the doom-style music ramp up during fights, but I haven't paid it much attention.
