what exactly is causing that?

I think that the modern practice of astrology is intentionally vague on this point because you're supposed to fill in the blank yourself. Whether you believe in psychic energy or spiritual power or guardian angels, you can nevertheless participate in astrology and most importantly purchase astrological tchotchkes ranging from telescopes to tarot cards to shiny crystals.

capitalists would have found a way to stop him

I don't think capitalists can be counted on as a rational actor in this case. Musk certainly has a lot of ventures that rely on imported goods and materials, but he is literally too ideological and short-sighted to see how tariffs will impact him, and he's not the only one.

I don't think the Trump administration is thinking about this as much as this poster has. The truth is that Musk and co literally don't know what USAID does or why its useful to American Empire - they are just generally anti foreign aid, so they closed it. That's it.

I'm imagining Marx writing a dissertation on the water economy in Caves of Qud

Agreed, I replaced the pads on mine with higher quality ones almost immediately.

True fact I have a pair of MDR-7506s that I use for all headphone-related purposes. No bluetooth ear bud can hope to compete.

You should DEFINITELY seek out the communism side quest. I think it appears in your journal as something like "make contact with your fellow communists"? There are a few people who will point you towards the event I'm talking about that are missable if you rush through the investigation.

I do it whenever I'm playing something like Factorio, but not if I'm playing something for the first time (like I currently am FF7 Rebirth) and actually want to hear and focus on the experience.

Right now I'm watching old YouTube stuff I like, yesterday it was Red vs Blue but I stopped around halfway through season 7 cuz it was awful and now I'm once again rewatching all of HBomberguy's videos.

The only thing I ever seem to learn about foreign cultures (across space or time or both) is that the people in them were basically the same as the people everywhere else. All differences are directly attributable to material conditions.

Try the drop flop... While driving about 40, reach out and lift top of the wiper from the windshield about 6 inches or so and let it flop back into place. Then, try a cleaning wipe again. I just did that this morning and it worked great.

Just reach your hand out your window at cruising speed and jiggle it, it'll be fine.
