The lifeguard seemed particularly triggered by the turquoise and pink stripes on the original Pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker, which represent magic and sex, respectively.
Gonna go out on a limb and say that this man is no fun at parties.
Agreed…the quality never really went down, but the current content has that bite that early Onion pieces did. The early Onion was great but also new and something we really hadn’t seen before (by early Onion I mean Internet Onion, not the strictly print version).
This is the Onion that we all know and love, and have for years, but the more recent satire is so much more rough and blunt and raw that it elicits a similar reaction to the fresh, new Onion whose content was consistently a shocking yet laugh-until-you-cry experience because it hadn’t yet become routine. It’s like they said “Hold my absolute one last fuck that I had been saving for an emergency”.
Basically they’ve managed to reinvent the shock value, if that makes sense.
Damn that was wordy. I hope my point comes across.
I really didn’t have an answer because I wasn’t expecting the question, lol, but I kind of managed to come up with something like “Well….the show ended and you went away. You just kinda left.”
It was lame but all I could manage to think of on the fly. He just kind of laughed. It was a good experience, all of the main TNG bridge crew were there except for Jean-Luc and Wesley (who were originally supposed to be, that was a disappointment, but it was still fun).
This is half a decade old news, but I only found this out myself after it accidentally came up in conversation at the DMV. The worker would not have informed me if it hadn’t come into conversation. Every DMV photo in the United States is being used for AI facial recognition, and nobody has talked about it for years. This is...
Oh! So now you know (sort of) what it’s like living as a Progressive in Houston or New Orleans! Just wait until they start the voter suppression/gerrymandering! /s
Unrelated, but I love that you discovered this image and worked so hard to figure out the answer to your question. I had also never heard of the Top View community, and it’s so interesting - subscribed! Thanks, OP :)
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted, but companies are looking to use hydrogen fuel cells for 18 wheelers for just this reason. They won’t have to stop for gas even on long trips because the energy density is very high and the weight is less.
Ah - that makes sense, thank you. You’re correct, but I work in the aerospace industry with hydrogen fuel cells and green hydrogen is all I’m familiar with, but I realize now that this was bias on my part.
My cat has this! She chews on and sometimes eats anything plastic like bags, the cover over a loaf of bread, wrappers of any kind, trash bags, etc. We have to spray all of it with some bitters because that’s safe for animals and the smell discourages them from chewing that particular thing.
This is helpful, thank you. I was only able to read the first paragraph or so before it cut out and said I needed to make an account, so I just stopped there.
Wouldn’t the difference here wrt Tom/Woody be that Tom had already played the role before so there is some expectation that a similar voice would be used for future versions of Woody if Tom wasn’t available?
Serious question, I never thought about the point you made so now I’m curious.
