You can’t really have a firetruck train unless you build every single building within spitting distance of the train station and you can strap the firefighting equipment to a bike.
There are reasonable solutions to this question but this meme does not provide any of them.
This feels more like a parody of a fuckcars poster.
In that case the meme is just incoherent. Top part is entirely unrelated to the bottom and the title in unrelated to the meme. It’s just bright colors on a screen at that point.
Ooh we can just do insults instead of arguments. People like you are too retarded to make proper memes and it is hurting the movement because it makes everyone else look like mentally ill failsons that are just bitter that they can’t get their shit together enough to get a job and afford car.
Normal people that go outside and have sex are going to look at the meme and think “how can there be emergency vehicles if there are no roads for them to drive on?” And then they are going to see Rick fucking sanches gesturing at a box bike like it’s a solution to that problem.
Then they are going to see your fucking ass making grammatical arguments against an doing the smug educate yourself routine reserved for Karens everywhere. The fucking flair you send up when you dont care if you are right or not, you just want to be smug about something.
Wow, this unlocked memories I didn’t know I had. I was the core audience when this aired the first time. The CGI greenscreen man was weird and I did not remember it until right now. The thing that had the biggest impact for me was probably the puppets because it actually taught me how thermodynamics works. The bear theater at the end is probably the most famous guy on the show that made tons of other children televisions. He is like a core part of any millennials childhood.
I’m 20, I practice fencing. My height is 192 cm, I usually fence against shorter opponents. They often manage to drive their smallsword into my belly. That’s why I’m curious: what would it be like to get wounded into the belly by a real smallsword? How lethal would it be? How painful? How would I react?
1d6 in piercing damage but hit to the guts is probably a crit so 2d6. If you are lucky you will just be very injured. If you are unlucky you will go down and start doing death saving throws.
Smallsword is apparently a separate weapon from rapier and 5e listed is as a 1d6. The reason I didn’t add anything apart from crit is because most people have NPC/villager stats so there wouldn’t be any stat bonuses.
I can’t get over how insane it is that the sitting party gets to look at their polling numbers and decide if it’s a good time to have an election or not. I get why they are so insistent on keeping the monarchy because the rest of the system is kept together by tape and random bits of string
Wait? Is the current political leader allowed to just change how votes are counted for the next election?! Is this why the Wikipedia article for how election in England work is just incomprehensible garbage?
It’s a catchy name and it was among the first examples of the effect in the internet era that amplified the effect many fold. There is no reason for me to know about Streisand’s house and there is no reason for me to know about this painting. I have only know about them because the internet exists.
Magician David Copperfield is facing allegations of drugging women before sexual encounters, groping women during live performances, and behaving inappropriately with women who were significantly younger than him — including under 18 — in a new investigative piece in The Guardian....
I never understood those. It’s always camera trickery and mirrors. At least with the stage performances there are real people in the room with a full field of vision.
When he says camera trickery he means that he doesn’t edit anything. when I say camera trickery I mean that the camera must be at a certain angle for the trick to work. If he has a mirror for example and the camera moves a step to the right, the mirror is suddenly not aligned properly to my field of view and the illusion doesn’t work.
The hobbits in Lord of the Rings is an excellent example. Nothing is edited in the shots but it relies on a very specific focal length in the camera and carefully planned forced perspective. It’s impressive and a technical feat but it not “magic” like card tricks are magic.
On the sexual assault thing. There are more cases of prison guards sexually assaulting and raping prisoners than there are trans people. There are more cases of female prisoners assaulting other female prisoners than trans women assaulting female prisoners. The regularity of rape in mens prisons are so laughably common that its become a cultural cornerstone.
Trans women might rape other women in jail, yes. Rape is a problem, but if you definitely want to ensure that rape will occur you put the trans women in mens prisons.
JK Rowling and the TERF Brigade does not care about rape in prisons. They care about trans women and want them to be raped or murdered in mens prisons. Pretending that they want anything else is dishonest.
The pieces of corn in the pile of shit is technically still food but we flush it all the same.
If we treat rape as a general problem in prisons we will solve the trans women problem as a side effect because will have made the prison a safer space for everyone. Singling out trans women rapes as a unique and unnatural problem is just bigotry and we don’t accept bigoted framings of other societal problems.
Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech.
Yes, It would be less mental because I am suggesting that the person doesn’t necessarily mean it literally. You see sometime people say things that isn’t true for dramatic effect.
