My brain didn't see GCSE at first, instead it saw CSGO and was both confused and intrigued.

Yes. And the line in the song is about dessert. Pudding (UK English) = Dessert (US English)

You won't see $2k more in Federal Income Tax, you'll pay higher prices on store shelves (because of the tariffs the Federal government collected from the importer of the goods, which ultimately get passed on to you the consumer)

It's more than just what you do in the app though. Check out some of the data any random website can find out about you here: privacy.net/analyzer/
Expand that into an app, given lots of permissions, that is tied to your phone number and email account. Given enough time and logging, it knows where you live and work, when you commute and sleep, every WiFi or mobile network you connect to and where they are located. This metadata is linked to your account and in-app activity. They have this data for you, your friends, colleagues, that weird guy you see on the bus every day... Right now, the app just uses all this to influence "your algorithm" (side note: this is also why people think some apps are actively 'listening' to conversations). But imagine a case where the govt owner of the app wants to start pushing a specific narrative, gradually swaying opinions or sowing the seeds of discourse, reinforcing it with the artificial echo chamber that is your new algorithm. /TedTalk

The show was renewed for season two, then Amazon rescinded the renewal last year... So unfortunately, it's not likely we'll see that show picked back up unless another network steps in.

The problem with the "crop it down" suggestions is that many native 4:3 releases were cropped to be re-released as 16:9... Cropping again to 4:3 would sacrifice even more of the original picture.
