Get used to it bub, we run 2 trillion dollar deficits these days, have 31 Trillion dollars of debt and have 100 Trillion dollars of unfunded liabilities.
We will all be working at 71.

It kind of does have a lock feature but it is locked behind the family account options

You can choose the eshop to be password protected. Would that be considered a lock?

Thanks. Even I remember thinking how stupid some kids were for complaining about learning how to multiply and divide the old fashioned way when it was much easier for them to just push a few buttons on a calculator. If you (and all of society) has no concept of the fundamentals, then you're just gonna be a dumb monkey getting the wrong answers out of a calculator just like ChatGPT is a dumb AI that needs a human to understand the fundamentals. There's so much human curation that goes into making AI look smart, and the humans need to be smart enough to do the damned curation.

It's astonishing that you can save payment details on the console that doesn't even offer a lock of any form.

There’s a reason I chose a UK brand for that analogy rather than Hersheys…

Reply to comment by Xtrepiphany in Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ Was Used As A Weapon Of Torture In Hell Claims A Michigan Priest Who Allegedly ‘Died’ For Some Time: “Demons Were Singing It” by Retloh
Have you read Dante's Divine Comedy? When traversing the layers of hell with his guide Virgil, he finds out that a LOT of popes are stacked on top of each other in a burning hole within hell. Every time a pope enters hell he is shoved into this hole upside down with only his feet remaining visible. When Dante approaches, the pope on top automatically assumed that Dante is a pope as well, who will burn with them.

I saw an episode of COPs (i know, i know) where a drunk driver was pulled over, and while the cop was searching her car, he kept pulling like over a dozen of those little Fireball bottles out. All empty. I'm guessing here, but maybe it's easier to drink while driving, like taking a quick shot vs having to recap a big bottle.

>a Cadbury's chocolate bar
You are closer than you think with your analogy. "there are minimum standards for chocolate. In the UK it must contain a minimum of 30% cocoa. However, in the US it needs to only contain 10%." US chocolate is notoriously different tasting to EU chocolate, to me it tastes of paraffin, very waxy, while UK chocolate is more creamy.
Heck, cheese and butter where i live is similar, very strict about what can be called either. "Cheese food" can be seen on things not quite cheese, and it always amused me.

I usually don’t drink fireball, but when I’m skiing in the cold, it’s quite good. The high sugar gives me energy, and the heat warms me up.

It sounds like fish playing games is the point of the channel. Meaning it doesn't need much interaction from the owner. The kind of channel that can be left running 24/7.

So the guy going off screen to sleep doesn't seem too surprising to me.

I mean the tech exists to allow them to type. Hand writing that much would miserable for hands not accustomed to it.

Some of it definitely comes from baseless macho shit of "My drink stronger/Taste more different"
Fireball and other "cheap" liquor and drinks tend to be "tied to an age" due to price vs experience from the drink. Fireball is low quality whisky, and extremely cheap by comparison to other whiskeys, so it's associated with broke college kids who just want to be drunk, not enjoy their drink. Similar to how people will go "A fuckin 4Loko? Are you a junior in college?". They're ultra cheap, taste like battery acid, and are really just there to be very high ABV.
TL;DR cheap "shitty" (Be it actually shitty or pecieved to be on average) alcohol is what underage and desperate people buy to get shredded, people don't like that association sometimes

A few liquor stores by me have shelves of just these minis by the checkout area for under a dollar each.
If there's something you want to sample, or maybe you want a shot of jack (lol or Fireball), but don't want a whole bottle

Usually social stigma and context. Fireball has less proof that regular whiskey and it's flavored so generally it's preferred by younger/less experienced drinkers, because of that it's just associated as a college shot that people should "grow out of". To your 2nd point I think stigma answers as well, a long island iced tea has a ton of liquor in it but is still a lot of times seen as a drink only garbage people drink. At the end of the day, just drink what you like.

Yeah, but it was also just a fish. Can your fish spend money?
