I think as a whole, yes. The generation that grew up on mobile games are probably more casual.

That being said, their generation was also the first to grow up in a time where being a streamer/esport personality was a real possibility, so I still feel like there's a decent pocket of extremely hardcore gamers, possibly more hardcore than other generations.

Honda Monkey probably.

Honda brought a bunch of old bikes back, most of them 110-125cc and usually sold and used in Asia. Monkey/Dax, Super Cub, CT125 (Honda Trail).

They're all awesome in their own way if you live in a metro area. The CT125 is awesome for a little bit of offroading. None of them are highway bikes, though.

I'd be willing to bet. Republicans get btfo on TikTok, it's a very left leaning platform in general.

Also, seems somewhat convenient that the House rapidly moves to ban TikTok after the groundswell of pro-Palestine sentiment on the platform.

Does it though? These things are so much more than a simple money crime. So many lives are destroyed by this level of theft. Fraud on that scale ruins so many more lives than a guy who murders a few people. For example, how many elderly folks have had their retirement accounts plundered by this sort of fraud? Retirement accounts that they spent their lives building. The money they were counting on to survive their end game. It's the ordinary folks that suffer in the end. Only an evil person would do this. That deserves a death sentence.
I'm personally not at all against the death penalty, just sort of skeptical that any government can mete it out impartial. But considering the scale and the impact to thousands and thousands of people, I don't really feel like I have any problem with it.

In my personal opinion, if more CEOs feared real prosecution and real punishment for major crimes (not death penalty necessarily), my guess is that we might be doing better as a society

I'm making assumptions here but this is much easier to say if you've never been overweight, or if you are overweight and have no interest in losing it for whatever reason.

It's like, I've never smoked or drank a day in my life but I always catch myself thinking "why can't you literally just quit cold turkey?" before I realize "right... it's not that easy for everybody." It's a crutch for sure, just like food can be. Some people eat to live, others live to eat. Eating is emotional. Take that away from someone who feels it's the only thing they have to look forward to, and you've made that person so depressed they're bound to fail.

Not to go on a tangent, but honestly most people think they have to deprive themselves by going on a restrictive diet. They often don't realize they can (and should) eat quite a lot, as long as they eat nutritious foods and generally stay away from sugary, fried, processed foods. It's all so much simpler than it's made out to be, and the same can be said about exercise. How much to do, what do to, and why. But doing the initial homework is frustrating for people because of all the different advice out there. Everybody saying "this doesn't work, do this", pulling people trying to find the answer in all different directions, instead of "this doesn't work for me because ______ , try this instead". People need to identify with someone who has figured it out so that they can figure it out themselves.

Same can be said about tough love vs. coddling when it comes to calling someone fat or simply overweight.
You did make assumptions, I am overweight. I've lost 60 pounds in the past 2 years. I've been dieting and exercising since my engagement and marriage.

Nobody did me any favors by not addressing that being overweight causes health problems. It's better to call a spade a spade, and then deal with it. Again, if you want.

You can say things like "lightsabers are cool" or "I enjoyed the fight with the rancor." Pretty much anything else has a measure of subtext to it whether it wants to be addressed or not. Even asking a question like "What will the Empire do in the next movie? Or, if there's no Empire, who will the new enemy be?" could leave someone biting their lip to try and avoid saying anything political.

The first Star Wars movie had the Empire ignoring the intergalactic council. Maybe the next prequel will have their own version of 1/6 showing the early warning signs of fascism. But that's political. Even the famed Darth Vader twist could be argued to have political undertones as it represents an age gap: the 1940-1950s generation that were in support of war and the 1960s-1970s generation that opposed it. The Rebel symbol (and the concept of a rebel is political) is a cross between the Fleur-de-lis and the peace symbol.

It's like having a fight with an elephant and not being allowed to comment on what the elephant represents. You can't even get into hypotheticals about where the series goes from here because those choices are likely to be predicated on some measure of politics. "I bet the next Star Wars movie is a bunch of laser fights in space with no overtones."
What I was in the previous post if you read it is that discussing that subtext is not what they're trying to discourge, clearly. It's overtly political current events "election in Wisconsin", or "Joe Biden/Donald Trump did x this week".

You're not going to get banned for talking about in universe stuff, the politics of that universe, or how it relates to or parallels the real world

You can't discuss Star Wars without politics, classic or modern. Or Star Trek. Or Planet of the Apes. Or Captain America. The character's name is literally political.
Respectfully, I think you're being facetious. There's a clear and obvious difference between discussing themes in media and topics directly discussing current US politcs/elections, especially when topics sometimes seem intentionally divisive.

I don't like the change and don't think it should have happened (I simply don't engage with topics I don't want to read or be involved it, like a grown adult), but it's not hard to infer the intent behind the change.
