Exactly, it's not like a novel where you are trying to read the entire thing. And it's an advantage because it is easier to parse. If I'm trying to change the color on that element, I have a very good idea what controls that. As opposed to something like "card_wrapper card_wrapper--striped". That certainly looks better, but if I'm just there to change the grid, now it's a more complicated change. In Tailwind, I can just look, see "grid-cols-[1fr_2.5rem_auto_2.5rem_1fr]" and know that not only that's where to change it, but that I can also change the classname there without worrying about a regression in some other element somewhere else. Whereas with "card_wrapper card_wrapper--striped", well what controls the grid? I have to look in another file, and I also have to be concerned about every other place those classes are used. (Or I have to add new one-off classnames, at which point the complaint about long classnames holds less weight.)
If they actually have resources, the government is capable of good work. But when it is done on the cheap you don’t get the best work. Whether it’s from underfunding the particular agency, or when they have to outsource to private contractors (often by law the lowest bidder). Don’t know how that fits into the capitalist/state-funded matrix.

Sort of. They're looking to be a good friend and assuage perceived helplessness in the face of a repeat foe. )=(From a clinical perspective, the most-useful observation in the thread may be the unusual frequency with which this person has seen GBM.)
More broadly, we tell the stories of Sancho following Don Quixote through windmills, or Sam following Frodo to Mordor, because loyalty over reality is itself a reality of humanity. Like Sancho or Sam, our role in that journey is less to weigh its merits and more to keep our hero from cliffs. That, however, means the person playing that role has to see clearly.
If you enjoyed this article you would enjoy the book “The Kidnapping Club” by Jonathan Daniel Wells. It covers the history of pre-Civil War New York. (As the title suggests, the bit in the article about “probably have kidnapped him and sold him into slavery” was more common than you might think.)
I haven't heard that at all. As I understand it, the music is written to go with certain scenes, but it complements the action and adds a lot of emotional beats. I can't think of an example where it's simply describing what's going on on-screen.
The music is a huge part of Arcane though, and complements the emotional content.
e.g. The Line (Twenty-One Pilots) was written after Tyler Joseph witnessed the passing of his grandmother and is written from her viewpoint - incredibly powerful and poignant, but also fits in wonderfully with what is happening with Victor (Arcane character).
The last point may be the most important. The US banned the importation of slaves in 1808. The enslaved were treated like livestock and that's why they still had slaves in the 1860s.

For perspective, a build process that removes unused tailwind classes can result in .css files of around 10kb. But a .css file with entire tailwind framework is about 2.5MiB.
