I think all the electrics should have this since not a single fucking one of them apparently knows to announce their presence when they pass people. Sorry for the rant but I think people should learn how to ride a fucking bicycle before they get on an electric motorcycle and feel like they have priority on the fucking trails.
My initial reaction was that it was probably unflattering on purpose but after seeing the others I think that might just be the artist’s style and she just has an unfortunate face for it.
This is an example of it going poorly but advertisers to an extent do it on purpose. Kool-aid gets used to refer to powdered drink mixes like band-aid is used to refer to adhesive bandages and, in some regions, coke is used to refer to soda in general. The idea is to become so associated with the concept as to overshadow the competition.
I tried my damnedest to explain to Nebraskans that the whole bud light controversy was hollow capitalist marketing but they’re still convinced that the beer people are pedophiles now.
I mean, to an extent, but that’s like, 8-9 months away, probably. Good news is while we move twice a year it’s only across the street. The joys of employee housing.
And for that matter both of those things happen in this same country. Should’ve seen the looks I’d get from southerners when I was operating a ski lift in a T-shirt.
Edit: celebrating the first snow by jumping in a lake has also gotten colorful reactions from outsiders.
I’m in a ski town in Colorado so you get the full mix here, but yeah by March it’s t-shirt weather for the locals, tourists still show up dressed for an arctic expedition but whatever. Hell, isn’t even the funniest thing that comes up, the resort does a costume week every spring so I did formal day in a dress shirt and tie on a fixie, which is a pretty physically intensive job. Favorite remark was a regular in the back of the line yelling “[name expunged] are you fucking bumping chairs in a tie?”
I’m pretty sure significant portions of the medium and hard difficulties could be flip-flopped and most of Australia’s population doesn’t live in the PvE warzone you’re probably picturing in your head.
Man, people have been feeling real patriotic about killing their fellow Americans lately, though I’m sure Florida is hoping the death toll has a particular skin tone.
I try not to advocate for the deaths of my countrymen, the fact they don’t really share that same sentiment makes it rather difficult, but I like to think there’s a solution to our current ideological predicament that minimizes blood spilled.
See, now I was to an extent kidding, but if you go back to /all there’s an article right there that I’d almost be tempted to say was poor timing on my part.
