The context of the origin of the US' pledge of allegiance is it came shortly after the end of their Civil War when there was still a lot o political tension. A desire was born to instill national loyalty in children.

"Historians point to surges in American patriotic oaths and pledges to the flag after the Civil War, when tensions surrounding political loyalties persisted, and in the 1880s, as rates of immigration increased dramatically"

However, today as mentioned by another commenter, students cannot be legally compelled to recite the pledge, nor punished for not reciting the pledge as decided by the Supreme Court in 1943 using the first amendment as the base.

Voting for Trump is voting for a system that enables Project 2025.

Everyone focuses on the man, however, it's also a vote for his appointees and staffers.

There was also a mystery solving themed Canadian show to teach deductive reasoning.

Ownership isn't required to use the death note. This is like when Ray Penber, the FBI Agent, unknowingly wrote the names of all the FBI agents on the page.

Wow, literally just got my wife a steam deck to play this game with me and created her an EA account last week. Joining each other was annoying using the EA friend's list and the steam deck trackpad. Hope this update streamlines the process.

Update: Invites using the Steam friend list was simple and worked well.

Recently watched both with my children in order and they loved them. The movies hit harder emotionally now that I'm older with children (a few tears were shed).

The animation is beautiful and a couple songs stuck with my kids. "There are no cats in America, and the streets are paved with cheese!"

I agree the second one is more fun, but still enjoyed the first.

After googling, there were two more sequels and a tv series I haven't seen.

A good idiom doesn't have to cost an arm lined with ink.
