I think you've generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it's just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn't that she saw a stack of random games, they're all FIFA -- did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.

something we desperately need, like making all political donations illegal.

I don't know how serious this idea is, but I have questions. Wouldn't making all political donations illegal favor the rich more than the system already does, especially for small local elections? Could people just gift money to a not-yet-candidate prior to starting any campaigning? If yes, then the person with the wealthiest "friends" wins; if no, where do you draw the line chronologically? Is only cash money considered a donation -- are stage appearances fine to "gift" to a political candidate? Can I neutralize a candidate by mailing them cash and reporting them? If no, what is required for them to do with the money?

I think I'd rather just see Citizens United overturned, but I'm very interested in more info on this idea

I might agree if the last single-sentence summary wasn't there -- that's as ELI5 as it gets, I'd say.

ELI5 is not a literal request for an explanation a five year-old would understand; briefly consider how that would sound -- useless, right? It's a hyperbolic way of asking for a thorough, well-written explanation of a concept for someone who lacks the understanding to start asking the right questions or seek information on their own. There's your ELI5 ELI5.

I was just trying to figure out if that's industry standard or his "veiled" threats... I'm intimidated and I don't even work there

Wait -- unionizing means giving up stock options? I tried verifying this on [search engine] but not finding anything meaningful, is that real?

Primarily it's to disinfect all the microcuts that shaving causes, which helps prevent breakouts, redness, and itchiness.

I appreciate your response, thanks!

I mean, there's room to talk about addressing systemic change and immediate quality-of-life suggestions in mutual exclusion, right? It's not like taking steps to improve your life now is capitulation, and as I said having roommates was a step up in living conditions and made me better prepared mentally and financially to exist. I don't see the irony at all -- apologies if I'm misunderstanding -- but we have to accept some nuance here.
