As someone else said, Austin Powers really kneecapped 007 by dialing up every trope to 11, leaving seriousness as the remaining option.

This is quite a few years old now, but I think the main points are still valid. As you said, everything is so polished, kids don’t need to figure out how it works.

I agree with the Idea that being in a position for too long increases the possibility of corruption. But, I’ll counter with two thoughts:

1.) Shouldn’t people have the ability to vote for who they want to represent them? If the people of Vermont want to keep on rejecting Bernie Sanders, why should they not be able to? (Valid counterpoint- Dianne Feinstein)

2.) This is the less trivial one - I fear that term limits would invite more corruption, as the representatives understand they only have a limited amount of time to grease as many palms and make as many connections as possible in their limited amount of time in office. We already have issues with the lame duck period, and those are currently measured in weeks. I can only imagine what I’d be like if a large portion of reps had full lame duck sessions.

From Gemini:

This video reports a mistaken identity case where a man, Jamie Rogers, was pulled over by the police under the suspicion of driving a stolen car. The car, a Kia SUV, was actually a loaner vehicle provided by the dealership while Jamie’s own car was in for repairs.

The video starts with a police bodycam footage showing the officer yelling at Jamie to step out of the vehicle and put his hands in the air. Jamie complied with the officer’s instructions and expressed confusion about the situation. The officer believed the car was stolen and threatened to shoot Jamie if he did not follow his instructions.

Jamie reported that the whole experience was terrifying. He thought he was going to be shot by the officers. His wife, Natalie, was also very scared after she received a call from the dealership about the stolen car. She worried that Jamie might have been injured or even killed during the police stop.

The misunderstanding arose because the dealership misplaced the loaner agreement. The couple is now suing the dealership because of the psychological trauma they endured. Their lawyer argued that the police report could have been avoided if the dealership had double-checked their records. The video ends with Jamie and Natalie expressing their frustration with the dealership. They are thankful that their children were not in the car during the incident, but they cannot help but shudder to think what could have happened.

I do the same thing. It hurts so good! Especially my pinkie toenails. Definitely not a good habit, though, and probably related to some stress / coping mechanism.
