What about a sign that simply says "Everyone is welcome here", would that be acceptable to you?
2 librarians were fired after the board mistook an autism symbol for a Pride display. They’re suing.
Walking pollution: ...
That's right, bike pollution is less than walking (or running) pollution in terms of CO2 per mile travelled. Cycling typically burns ~⅓ of the calories compared to making the same journey on foot and there's a direct link between calories burnt and CO2 produced.
Cycling at 12mph takes roughly the same energy as walking at 4mph. You emit the same CO2 per minute, but get there in ⅓ of the time. Running at 12mph takes 3 times the effort of cycling at 12mph. You'll get there in the same amount of time, but breath out 3 times as much CO2. Bicycles are more efficient than our own two legs - how cool is that!
Power line adaptors aren't bad, but they are hit or miss. If they hit, they'll work well and solve all your problems for minimal cost and effort. If they miss you'll probably never get them working properly. It's a bit of a gamble, but I wouldn't rule them out.
Wireless range extenders/access points/mesh networks are the reverse. They'll almost always work, but they make the inherent problems with WiFi worse. More latency, more congestion, more interference. They're not without downsides.
Running a cable so you can move your router to a better location would be my number 1 choice. Ideally somewhere where you can plug multiple devices (TV, consoles, pc, etc) into it so they aren't competing with the devices that really need the WiFi.
Talk to your landlord and tell him you'd like to install a network socket so that the whole house gets better WiFi, and that you'll leave it behind when you move so it won't leave any mess and will benefit future tenants too. Most landlords I've tried this with have jumped at the chance.
Failing that, dropouts suggest interference rather than just signal problems. Try running a channel monitor on your phone and see if there's anything using the same channels as your WiFi, try switching to another channel and look for anything happening that coincides with the drop-outs (microwave, certain lights, electric motors running, etc).
Lastly a better modem might just do the trick. I've found that anything running OpenWRT is ten times more reliable than most other options, particularly when placed under heavy load or difficult circumstances.
Reminds me of the debate following the release of The Life of Brian between Michael Palin and John Cleese against Roman Catholic journalist and satirist Malcolm Muggeridge and the Bishop of Southwark, Mervyn Stockwood. The Month Python guys run rings around them because the film makes fun of organised religion, not Christian beliefs. Good Omens was similar. It doesn't attack God or Christianity, it pokes fun at humanity, and at the angels and demons that have gained human traits.

What are your underlying models of the world built out of? Because I'm human, and mine are primarily built out of words.
How do you draw a line between knowing and understanding? Does a dog understand the commands it's been trained to obey?
What if you could have free healthcare without insurance or paying any more tax than you do at the moment? Because that's what the article is claiming should be possible.

$1.50 per year iirc. They posted a whole load of monthly stats with the annual user income mixed in amongst them so that it didn't seem so bad.

The best way to watch EEAAO is knowing nothing about it. Its never going to be what you expect and if you go in expecting too much, you're likely to be disappointed. Sounds very much like the hype might be why you feel the way you do.
Personally, I love it because there is more than just weirdness to it. It manages to have quite deep and emotional moments that fit naturally amongst everything that is going on. For example:

When Evelyn learns that breaking up with Waymond would have led to a 'perfect' life and the complexity of her feelings around that, only to be hit moments later by the gut-punch that Waymond would have been far more successful without her too. After that, how can she not regret the decision which led to them both being stuck doing laundry and taxes?It's this deeper side and the depth and realism of the characters that really elevate the movie for me and lead to me still thinking about it months later. That's why it's more than just a cult hit IMO, but you aren't wrong if you disagree.
