can we please socially murder the sales/marketing team that rebranded the unit in nodes from something physically meaningful to a random countdown detached from reality? (1nm node does not have any bearing on critical dimension or size of the circuits)

EU5 has been my sole game for over a month now. It needs some work, and I don't love paradox, and I think think the game is too much of a cookie-clicker reskin... but it's scratching that grand strategy itch.

I've also been on turtle-wow (private vanilla+) which has really been recapturing the spirit of 2004-08 wow for 7(?) years now.

I wonder how trump feels that the most viral thing about his inauguration wasn't him

That's part of what I was trying to get at with the second half of my comment. Forcing yourself to appear normal masks reality, pushes the definition of normal further towards homogeneity, reinforces the need for everyone to be medicated to accept reality. But I also think there is a problem with your definition of normal: literally everyone, even the genuinely happiest person alive, is filled to the brim with fear/uncertainty/doubt--that is literally life and its a choice to be happy and make positive connection with people in spite of the nihilism underneath existence. That isn't something to medicate away, in some philosophical interpretations its the entire point of life. It's a lifelong project to learn how to deal with these feelings, they tell us when there's a problem that we need to spend energy to fix, they should be embraced. But I also recognize that the way things "ought" to be is not the same as what's required to achieve that end result. If you need to medicate in order to help bring about a better future where you wouldn't need medication... so be it.
