According to the articles I read about it, the gauges are a digital screen which changes to the backup camara when in reverse.

Wow, eldritch horrors beyond my imagination. Today has just been a wild ride for me.

Might need to make the location change to Pennsylvania Ave for a greater effect.

That was due in large part to the fully suited scenes being cut from the orginal show. The characters we know in the English version are really a separate cast.

... wtf did I just look at?

I mean it's funny but I could not tell anyone why. And so I'm amused and confused all at once....

I mean i get that is a parody of an orgy, but honestly it's so alien that's the only similarity I can find. I just don't have any personal context for the mechanics of sex positions that wet floor signs might be using. Is there any sort of correlation to type of sign and gender, or is it more of a 'different body type' deal?

I feel like this could be the topic of a whole episode of Lower Decks.

Quick summary here;

Lots of people, mostly under 25 from the looks of them, threw buckets of popcorn all over when the Chicken Jockey appeared. The movie was paused by the theater and identified offenders where escorted out.

Honestly people, just control yourselves. This is a kids movie, for crying out loud. It really screams "look at me, I'm a rebel and cool!" in only the most desperate way. I'm glad none of this happened at my local theater, we all just got to enjoy the film and share a laugh or two.

I mean, that comparison might not be wrong...

I was born at the start of the '90s, and I only got 1 point.

I agree, the nature of the convictions should be a factor. I also agree that a sort of "cooldown" from a conviction would be reasonable, before having eligibility for holding political office restored. I've been leary of the simplified "convicts shouldn't hold office" statement though, since the original intention of that lack of disqualification criteria was, to my understanding, to prevent political imprisonment from barring opponents from holding office. That seems like the sort of thing the current administration would jump on if they could, as well.

I don't have an issue with a public servant holding office and having a criminal record. People make mistakes, and people can change. However, I think the fact the current president has made public and copious comments about dismantling the democracy that exists while showing a blatant disdain for the rights of people, that I have an issue with.

I have Finch set to auto-update, so I'm not sure if it gives you separate notifications for that.

Finch is pretty close. Free as well. It's intended to help with self care and mental wellness, could be a good fit for you.

 

Back in the same ol' place again. Let's see how we do with the second go 'round.

 

It's disappointing that copyright infringement could cause these people to spend time in prison, but the predatory practices of the companies they where competing with are punished with no more then fines. A "cost of doing business" for the corporate aristocrats. This is the threat the upper class uses on the rest of us, and all too often do not suffer themselves.

If this is meant to be elsewhere, please let me know. I once read a story about a soldier who was in a horrific assault, who was then grafted into a large battle mech. As the story goes on, more flesh is taken until eventually only a spinal column and brain are left inside a gel-sack, and the machine has been upgraded to the point that it now has a super-punch that is powered by artillery shells in the shoulder. Some search engines showed alot of similar stories, but I can't find the right one. Anyone know this tale by title?
