Reminded me of this lol

For me, it’s Xenosaga episode 1 on the PS2. It’s performed entirely by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and it’s my favorite OST of all times

I mean I guess but that sounds like just defining all toys as trash to me

Awesome :)

To some extent I agree, however I do have some examples with staying power:

• bath toys, like boats and stuff
• video games props, like pokeballs, Pokédex, ocarina flute, majoras mask prop, wind waker wand

For the latter, it was a father-son project to sand and paint them, so that probably has to do with it. For bath time, it’s probably because the selection is more limited in the first place.

Alaska?

He got killed by the secret service during his attempt, I’m not sure they were later able to assess motive and stuff

At first I thought this was a Tim Apple joke but that’s his actual name lol

(FYI I didn’t make this and I believe it’s fake but honestly it’s hard to tell)

The goal of 3rd party apps is to do what’s best for the user so they continue to use their app

The goal of Reddit’s official app is to do what’s best for Reddit

It’s possible to expand on the functionality but that’s the fundamental misalignment on priorities regarding users

In Canada, you legally pick up to 2 of your parents’ last names for your last name

Well, organometallic molecules are famously way more dangerous to us (e.g. mercury vs dimethylmercury), so it’s not really controversial to say that pumping tons of tetraethyl lead directly into the air people breathe may have been worse than whatever can leach out of lead pipes or dishware.

Now that leaded gasoline is mostly phased out (except for avgas), I imagine the prevalence of lead poisoning will settle closer to what it may have been a millennia ago

I do agree with you on that. I think it’s worth considering but it’s not inherently decisive

That’s typically the argument regarding being apprehensive about the government knowing your medical & family history; there’s historical precedent of governments making very not good laws based on those.

Before WW2, the nazis basically outlawed being Jewish or Roma. A more recent example would be outlawing being gay or trans in some countries

What about when a government decides that you must wear a special armband for being Jewish or Roma or gay?

I think the song is cool, the theatrics are fun, although in case it’s not obvious to everyone, the person isn’t actually playing the song, and even the guitar hero-type scroll doesn’t look like it matches the song. Doesn’t make it less fun though haha

As a parent who doesn’t try to convince childless people to have children… fair point.

I’m not sure if my comment is whoosh, but just in case; it’s the transliteration of the letters in the picture if you read them as cyrillic letters, highlighting that they should be understood as faux-cyrillic instead

Exactly

I think this (admittedly long) video is a good summary https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PfrtN2LlgSI
