You have stake in it, because the eagle is a massive blundering fat bird that lays it's talons down wherever and shits on entire nations so who forms the head is important.
But you don't have a say in it, because you're not an American! In fact, I don't really have a say in it because of the electoral college!

Alright, you have a good point about the fat eagle.
I don't have a say, and I do not want to be reminded about something that I have no perceived agency in.
The local County Controller was a fucking asshole who abused his son and drove him to drugs and multiple mental health care facilities. He got re-elected until he retired because he was a Republican and it was an old boy's club.

So I made a Sim, a Young Adult woman called Amelia Thrasher who wanted to get rich by marrying into a rich family. So she starts stalking a member of a rich family called Dennis Racket and goes to his house to check it out and see what she can do. Dennis lived in a huge house with his parents, wife, brother and two teenage children. As Amelia is checking out the house, Dennis's brother Bill starts flirting with her. Sensing an opportunity, she begins a relationship with Bill (who is nearly an Elder) and marries him. Shortly after they are married, he drowns in the pool during the wedding party. As soon as Amelia is done mourning her loss, she begins flirting with Bill's nephew Shark, who has only just aged up into a Young Adult. They quickly got married and are now expecting a child.
Oh, and Dennis's and Bill's parents died of old age. Oh well.

Amelia, whenever Dennis walks into the same room as her, gets the "Attractive Sim" moodlet. She's still attracted to her original object of affection, who is now her father-in-law.

At Tre's suggestion I bought some Coke Zero
It is, indeed, a better analogue of Coca-Cola than Diet Coke
Which is a good thing if you're a Coke person I suppose

"where Luthor hates Superman so much that he brainwashes himself to be good, setting up a romance that will make him want to change, just so that he can get close enough to Superman to kill him, and the consequence of having to live with the knowledge that he willingly destroyed his only chance at ever being truly happy for a plan that failed like all the others."
Oh, so Lex Luthor did the Just As Keikaku thing way before Light Yagami.
Thanks to DC's continuity reboots, when they want to do a story where a character who was once portrayed as someone who lived in a place called Nefarium and owned an evil superpowered dog he made to kill Superman decides to run for president.
Meanwhile, Marvel would have to be fools to do a storyline, in which, just theoretically, let's say, a man who once rode through New York on a mechanical broomstick throwing pumpkin shaped grenades at random people and cackling madly through a halloween mask became the head of a major public government agency, it would be considered ridiculous.
Holy shit, I know there isn't a lot of love for Warhammer in this thread and there absolutely shouldn't be because it's garbage, but the current warhammer thread is really worth checking out.
They just released a new edition of fantasy and the rules are batshit. You don't so much build an army as much as you just pile miniatures onto the table until you literally run out of space. People were expecting the usual combination of grognardy stuff, forced miniature purchases and imbalances but what they got...
As an example, there's one model who is an insane knight. He has the usual things you'd expect for a wargame - bonuses in some areas, penalties in others. Want an extra edge though? If you run around the table pretending to ride an invisible horse he can re-roll his dice. He gets a stronger bonus if you talk to the horse.
There's a model that forces your opponent to have a staring contest with you. There's a model that gets better if you are holding an alcoholic beverage and one that gets better if you hold a drink aloft and proclaim the honor of "the lady." There's a character that gives you a bonus if your mustache is larger than your opponent's. There are units that force you to not smile during your turn and one that causes you to instantly lose if you ever kneel. Dancing if you play chaos gets you extra rolls and getting your opponent to dance with you is even more effective.
It is also literally possible within the framework of the game rules to offer to blow your opponent. If they accept you get to take one of their units.
The rest of the rules are about as awful looking as can be expected but GW is now asking the kind of people who want to meticulously paint 40 Brettonian knights to run circles around a table yelling at their horsey. Game stores are gonna get real weird if this takes off.
Genre fiction is all, on some level, built around fantasies. People's responses to genre fiction often boil down to accepting those fantasies uncritically, or rejecting them unilaterally.

All fiction and most nonfiction is fantasy of a kind. Media is lies, but they're lies that help put the world into focus, help people understand themselves, and make people happy.

I'm finding I don't really like Google Inbox all that much
One of the graduating seniors this year was a bioengineering student (I think) taking like 6 classes. She doesn't take caffeine.
For comparison, I took six classes last semester and they turned me into the unruly dead, shambling about in a gross imitation of life. And three of those were music classes

i mean you can vocally support a campaign, sure, assuming there's a popular local candidate who represents your views
Oh, and Dennis's and Bill's parents died of old age. Oh well.
And that is how soap operas are made.
I still have flashbacks to my little McDonalds tomagotchi dying
