Aktually, Biden may have set the precedent for Senators when he was elected for Senate at 30, being born November 20, 1942[1] and sworn in January 3, 1973[2], having turned 30 less than six weeks earlier.

While they cry about the two-tier legal system prosecuting them unfairly at every dragged out appeal.
Honestly, it's nice to see a Democratic Senator from New Jersey being tried at the same time. You don't see anyone in the Democratic caucus going on MSNBC to say it's a witch hunt.

It would be nice if the report feature had a way to indicate if the problem is spam, content or whatever other issues people might have. You could have a threshold for spam reports to put the account in review and prevent of hide it's posts.
A short pull-down list would work well: Spam, Harassment, Site ToS Violation, Thread/Group Rules Violation, etc.
This way you can automate rules like: if an article get's N spam or harassment reports it's put into the review queue and hidden until a Moderator can review it.
in 2016 I even blamed the media obsession with Trump making him popular
This seems like the real problem, every time Loud Orange Man says something it kicks off a news cycle and consumes all the airtime available. Good luck getting past the fury and noise to make a salient point about the state of the world and what we should be doing about it as a society…

Most contested divorces take more than nine months anyways, and you don't need a divorce to separate and get into a safe space. Typically separation happens before the legal process starts, and even if you wanted to get remarried there is an intermediate 'bifurcation' step which can end the marriage legally before the divorce is finalized.
This is just a legal convenience for the court, but who doesn't love a little rage bait?

imagine you are watching youtube on this thing and when an ad shows up, you can’t look away, even if you try to they can track your eye movement and just move the window, you can’t mute it, you certainly cannot install adblock on it, you are forced to watch the ad until it satisfies apple
WUT? Apple is very focused on privacy and the idea that a user can't mute or install Adblock is… weird. Safari has good ad-blocking options as well as built-in anti-tracking features to protect users, applications can't usually prevent the system from muting content and Apple doesn't really sell ads outside of the App Store.
If you want to worry about that stuff I'd suggest focusing on the Meta VR goggles or god forbid Google starts making goggles, both of those companies survive on ad revenue and have an incentive to enshitify their experience in ways that the Apple we know today would never do. Of course companies can change over time, but the ethic at Apple is to only make products they feel comfortable with their families using.
