Huh; I never realized there were movies. Only knew (and watched part) of the series.

My husband finally watched Billy Madison this year and I’ve been thrilled because I can finally reference this scene to my heart’s content and he’ll know what I’m taking about.

Man; spoilers.

what timeline is this

A bad one.

When you drive a car, you don’t suddenly feel like you have wheels.

Not the kinda cars I drive, man.

Ahh; 🧠. I usually just use ctrl + shift + v but that could come in handy where the other binding isn’t available.

Huh; I never knew.

We have some peaches and I’ve been putting them in some grilled cheeses I’ve been making with maple-leaf–smoked Gouda I also got this week and it’s been pretty incredible.

Probably just reinforcing SoyViking’s point about that not being the intention of the original architect but the Status of Liberty was actually a commemoration of the U. S.'s abolition of slavery.

(I feel like there might be a more natural way to mention that tidbit but I’m slogging through a work meeting and can’t think of how to; but your mention of slaves reminded me)

No one’s said it, yet, but this is the best comment on this entire post.

A very easy way to square all this (and what I assumed everyone understood to be going on before I ever heard of this discourse) is that people are just using exaggeration for emphasis (a very common rhetorical tactic).

Of course people aren’t saying it’s literally thing-they’re-referring-to but that it has so much in common that it’s “practically” almost exactly that thing.

I feel like people overcomplicate what needn’t be complicated, sometimes (like people hallucinating a “fourth-person” pronoun to explain a convention perfectly already provided by current linguistical constructs).

Ah; you have a fair point, there. I’ve never used a 5.24". I actually didn’t know it was released on those.

I recently played a Floppotron video for my 7 year old and he was skeptical that computers sounded like that when games loaded.

Haha; I know I’m biased since, as a developer and someone interested in computers, I’m also more aware (even if I’ve never used) of older tech. but it is incredible just how much things have changed.

(only barely tangential to your point but) I mean, I also played the Oregon Trail and I’m definitely a younger millennial.

The first one, in terms of cinematic story telling, is actually incredibly good (I don’t know how much that contributed to things); if you’re interesting, this video essay points out a bunch of stuff I hadn’t noticed, the first time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhdBNVY55oM.

Also, entirely agreed about the first two.

Treasure Planet is a well-written

Ehhh…; don’t get me wrong: I still absolutely love it. But I absolutely get why it flopped, too.

Last year, I saw an article written by a recruiter about how recruiters are sort of biased against you if you use a non-GMail account because it “feels” like you’re on old tech and out of touch and, therefore, will be hard to place and, Void, did it make be so mad.

I suspect that your qualifications for what constitutes a bicycle are a tad short…
