Helena Bonham-Carter, being British, didn’t know that “grade school” was much younger than one would expect from such a line until after the film was released.
As the age verification technology would forcibly deanonymise all EU users, opening a huge new vein of behavioural surveillance data to the zuckerbots.
Given his non-WASP name, he’d be under constant pressure to demonstrate that he’s one of The Good Ones. Being the most loyal Trumpist even as his loved ones are fed to the gators is part of that.

By then Gen X will have replaced them, and going on about reminiscing about how mix CDs burned from MP3s downloaded from AOL sounded better than the vinyl and TikToks the kids are listening to will be the “we drank from the hose was our curfew” of the time
If cats were allistic, they’d be dogs
Maybe he can set his best engineers on building one
Bet it’s the Moonies. They’re cashed up and all over right-wing politics across the world.

I wonder whether his descendants are still in the upper strata of the aristocracy, managing an ancient pot of money from a yacht in Monaco or a small, high-ceilinged office in Geneva, the logo of their private bank paying tribute to their fortune’s history with a well-hidden fart joke.
This sounds like, in the best case, it’d be like one of those Christian alternative-rock festivals, organised to demonstrate that you don’t need the Devil’s music to have fun, where you have bands playing watered-down, Jesused-up versions of punk/emo/metal and some dad in Vans and a studded belt taking the mike between bands to tell everyone that the raddest thing is to obey your parents and abstain from drugs and premarital sex.
