You’re the asshole going 90 in a 65, swerving in and out of traffic.
If you want to try and brake check or fuck with me afterward that’s fine, I have a dashcam and am more than willing to follow you if you try hit and running. I’ve got the time, now.
Pardon me while I go feed my giant geriatric giraffe, George. He likes generic foods, so long as they are germ free and genetically unmodified.
Afterwards, I’m gonna hit the gym, gently gesticulate while talking to someone about geography, geometry, and genetics, maybe consume some protein gel packs.
As a genuine gesture of gentlemanly genius, my genuine German genie will conjure up some gems to pay for everything.
Some people take it way too seriously and end up alienating potential audiences.
Just look at Rick and morty. It’s a decent comedy if you’re into crass humor. I’ll admit I have seen most seasons. But you’ll never see me wearing merch because I simply don’t want to be associated with the crowd who scream at fast food employees over meme sauce. I happily wear my live long and prosper shirt or the Mando shorts my wife bought me though.
Some fandoms just take a little more digging to find the super shitty people.
I think a good comedic example of this is in Futurama, where some characters from the year 3000 get tossed back to Roswell in 1947. They try to blend with “period correct clothes” and lingo, but since they’re 1000 years out of place, they’re combining things that hadn’t been invented yet with stuff from 1947s past.
A lot of people seem to think cleopatra was hanging out with the dudes who built the pyramids and think it’s weird Sparta and Rome never went to war. I mean, sure technically they both existed in an overlapping period of about 50 years, but technically the USA has had diplomatic contact with the Holy Roman Empire for a few years.
Imagine if a shuttle landed on the planet and someone from 2402 popped out with their neon implants, xarthan death spikes proudly displayed, and an onion on their belt. Everyone knows they don’t show up until at least 2215.
I once worked for a city school processing their old books, and found a few of these scattered in books from the 1950s that had been in storage. Last year issued stamp was in the 60s, no idea if they were actually used after that.
I also have seen this scribbled in the margins on my niece’s homework.
I started playing that game, but I get nauseous when playing some games as I get older, and something about that game triggers it hard.
If I had a pc that could handle it, I’d try it on that. Usually I can disable motion blur and DoF things that make it worse. Camera Bob is super bad, but iirc deathloop didn’t have much.
In totally, completely, and in all ways unrelatedly: smartphones on the rise, gigantic pickups and suvs are on the rise, and tactile buttons you can hit without looking at a screen are on the decline.
and anecdotally it seems like since covid and not driving as much, everyone seems to have gotten worse at driving and still hasn’t quite picked it back up yet.
