Damn, you are indeed not joking. I had to double-check because it's so ridiculous.

Yup, would have been easy to just nuke the guy as well.

There's "Verschlimmbesserung" but that's pretty much the opposite. It's a noun that describes an attempt to improve something that actually ends up making it worse. The word combines elements from two German verbs: "verschlimmern" (to worsen) and "verbessern" (to improve).

Remember Lordi, that band with the monster costumes? That's probably already too much for conservative minds.

The NRA and the like will probably use this again as an opportunity to demand even more and even bigger weapons for the police, the Secret Service and everyone else. Not that it will do any good, but they'll try anyway, I suppose.

How does this guy still have an audience?

Release the Kraken!

Oh, wow. Thanks for the in-depth explanation - very interesting. I had never really looked into the technical details. Well, I suppose I'm lucky that my reasonably new smartphone still has a 3.5mm audio jack, so I can continue to use my now rather old, but in my opinion still pretty good, headphones. It wasn't that easy to find a new smartphone with an audio jack, but then it looks like I've actually done everything right when it comes to listening to music.

Hi-fi stereo systems with amplifiers, speakers and cables.

I could be wrong, but I think that old stereo systems generally have way better sound quality than Bluetooth systems, soundbars and the like. Physical media such as CDs or even Flac files (etc.) are of course impractical compared to streaming, but the audio quality is much higher.

However, since you can also stream audio without any problems, I would recommend every music fan to buy a used stereo system with high-quality speakers from the 2000s or even from the late 90s - in my opinion, excellent audio quality at a low price.

Musk has already turned Twitter into Truth Social anyway. So no need.

A system that appoints supreme constitutional judges for life and without even halfway serious democratic checks and balances seems to me the perfect recipe for disaster and corruption. But hey, I'm from Europe, so what do I know... ¯_(ツ)_/¯
