Well, yeah. That's not really in the same category or ever really disputed

No, that's my evidence that it wasn't ubiquitous and typical.

Maybe not just your social circle, but social-circle-specific.

No, this was just your social circle. I know literally zero people who ever bought into any of that crap

Yes, your aunt has (probably) signed up for what's essentially a scam. This is their whole business model, they know timeshares sound better than they end up being, so they intentionally trick people into signing contracts that are very difficult to get out of, so they can't just dump it the moment they realize they don't want it anymore.

Like others have mentioned, there are various options (donations/sponsorships/grants) that larger projects will generally have some of, but for smaller projects (99% of what's out there, by project count if not usage), the answer is simply "it isn't." It's done as a hobby, as a resume booster, or with the hope of eventually becoming big enough to hit one of those revenue streams.

That's... An extremely bizarre take on what happened, and on whether selling would be a good idea. The stock market almost never has anything to do with electoral politics, and electoral politics almost never have anything to do with what your market position should be.

Not that you're going to get any kind of constructive discussion here regardless, but it's worth noting that "liberal" in the US means something very different in the rest of the world (what we'd call "neoliberal" or globalist) and I don't really know which one you mean

I don't think of either of them as having any specific regional accent at all. I think they just have somewhat similar voices and mannerisms

It's fun to pretend.

Psychonauts 1/2. The first game literally takes place at a summer camp. Second one has basically the same vibe.

I almost hesitate to bring up the other problems with your plan since, obviously the total monstrosity of it. But that's anyway pretty well covered so I'll just throw in that blowing enough nukes to kill that many people would create considerably worse environmental disaster

"digestible" and "nutritious" aren't social constructs, so no. If your body can transform it chemically in a way that produces energy, it's food. Otherwise it's not. The same things are food regardless of your culture.
