Adding that there’s also many cartoon skins that use cel shading, which I assume is part of why this looks so weird if you’re not up to date at all. Peter Griffin might be the earliest I remember, but there’s dozens now. They had a whole Simpsons season recently.

That makes sense. There’s some basic requirement for height and width to make you a standard shooting target for which SpongeBob would not work.

Wait, it’s all chili?

They didn’t specify the status of the napalm in the movie quote. Could’ve been raw. Could’ve been provided by the other side. It’s the visual cue sin the scene that tell the status. No difference here.

Surely this post must be proof this platform doesn’t down vote you just for being you, right?

I have no idea where this mass of pro-Israel lemmy users are. I must not be federated with whoever you’re talking about

Same. I thought we were still riding the meme wave of his final concert, keeping him relevant. Didn’t realize he was ready to bounce.

Edit: to be fair, the next two posts in my feed were c/news posts about it. But it was preceded by less-obvious memes.

I miss a sub I followed on reddit, Frank Lloyd Wrong

That coulda worked. If only it didn’t sound like an Ace Combat antagonist country. Osea, Usea, Yuktobonia, Belka, Aurelia, Usonia, see?

Unitedestadian has long been the term used to describe USA citizens by the Spanish-speaking population of the Americas. Not their fault the country picked a length intro title and a vague region as their country name. Imagine if the UK was the UKE, United Kingdom of Europe, and called themselves Europeans by default. The other 90% would be pissed and make their own names, no?

Anyone else having Teams just disappear without notice? It happens across my office

Is this a reference to something I missed? Or is it a generalization of American Christians?

It’s typically this and not the particular tech in the headlight. And when it’s not “plug n play” (pnp) bulbs, it’s bad aim because every factory aims them with an empty tank and owners are clueless headlights can be aimed. That A8 had pretty good lights for the time. Sure, the lights do tend to be more intense when you’re in the beam on a hill, curve, etc), and the bluer color isn’t great for human night vision, but that’s a tradeoff for the increased speeds we travel at now.

The further development of matrix LED lights by the Germans is a great development, really only feasible with LEDs. They turn off individual segments to give a near-high beam experience but specifically without blinding other drivers.

But blaming it all on LEDs is like blaming gas engines for loud exhaust. There’s supposed to be a system in place that makes it tolerable for everyone around.

Scott Swift didn’t create Big Machine Records. The guy who did, approached Taylor playing in a venue as he was starting the label. The supposed sequence of events is Scott invested after she was signed, resulting in less than a 3% stake. When BM was sold, Scott sold his stake for $15mil. I would think his initial investment, before Taylor had a few albums under her belt, was somewhere around what middle-class parents provide for college tuition.

So, priveleged with 2 parents, a relocation to her dad’s Nashville branch, and a normal middle class financial backing? Sure. Art is incredibly hard to be successful in. But still, I never see these comments portraying it as $50-100k. They come across as $30mil+.

And no, I’m not a swifty. I can’t stand her music. It’s not for me. Country and pop are boring to me and her melodies are too happy. I can’t stand the fan base for treating her like god. I kinda enjoy drawing parallels between her lyrics and those of Slipknot because they’re both singing for the unloved outsider and then watching the brainwash meltdown. It’s like Tool for women.

It just seems weird to me to only ever see her get bashed for such a priveleged upbringing when 1. We can agree it’s the only way to make it and 2. It’s thousands, not millions that propped her up.

I see this opinion often enough, so I have to ask. How much money do you think Swift’s parents put into her career? How big do you think a parental college fund should be to give their kids a solid leg up? How does that initial financial backing discredit her as she continues writing a massive catalog of successful songs?

Somehow both anti-fascist left wing activists (paint, scratch, protest) and anti-ev right wing reactionists/“car enthusiasts” (scratch, cord cutting, gas pump-sucking circle jerking). Yet, Teslas keep selling and people keep buying, despite getting attacked from “both sides”. I think it’s a great example showing the general population does not give a fuck. The apathetic population outnumbers the voting population. The nearsighted self-interested demographic (tax, rebate, and fuel incentives) prevails over the shouty demographic.

It’s vocal minorities all around.

I’m a pro-ev general vehicle enthusiast. I’m surrounded by Teslas. I can’t knock Tesla for putting evs on the road. I’m still waiting for the real manufacturers to get up to speed. At least we had some good PHEV options?

Et al, brute?

I counted 5 and then 7 steps across 2 breaths. Gotta be at least 50c per step for my to consider it any further. I probably wouldn’t accept until $1. And even then, casual cardio like walking would ramp up breathing faster anyway.

Trash the world.
