all of these “body language analyses” pictures are definitely MRA/andrew tate adjacent. Not sure if this one is a parody or not but it cracked me up

admittedly niche, but joni mitchell’s shadows and light is an incredible live album/film with an absolutely monster fusion band (pat metheny/lyle mays, jaco, michael brecker, et al)

rattle & hum deserves to get yeeted for the bono/mlk overlay alone

not to mention the snarky photo captions that somehow imply that tesla is the only automaker to use “trademark” color naming, like the audacity to call a shade of red...crimson red

has to be the first and only time one of these has ever been legit

I swear every act in these people’s lives has as its foundation the larry flint quote “yes this is a publicity stunt, and i thank god (xenu?) you all fell for it”

Never heard about the diagnostic thing. They eventually had engineers from germany come out, who put the car behind partitions and wouldn’t tell dealer staff what they were doing (this was right before dieselgate broke). After blowing through the 3rd set of injectors before 40k miles i raised a huge stink with…

Had a near identical false oil pressure warning/limp mode on a ‘11 GTI. Dealer also couldn’t figure it out (they said the warning was coming from a module shared with other VW models and the specific code wasn’t supposed to be possible on the GTI)

bahahahahahaha will never happen in a million years:

Jokes aside, does anyone know if the prada america’s cup boat was purely sponsorship or if they had any technical role in stuff like the sail (textiles)? If they did have a role beyond sponsorship i could see this making more sense

I’m guessing it falls under the “technology replacing people” concerns. Looking like language translating as a profession is in the early stages of its death. Why pay someone when i can just hold my phone up and get the same info (also i don’t care about things like idioms and colloquialisms) Sucks, but seems like an…

the price is absolutely off, but i get someone who doesn’t wrench etc. not wanting to dink and dunk parts here and there vs get the damn thing out of their driveway all at once

True, but this is english voice acting for an american audience. No clue how the japanese dub was handled. And yes, MGS was far from the first game with voice recordings (especially if you were a pc gamer then).

considering g/o articles hyperlink random text to anything and everything these days, it probably wasn’t worth hitting publish on that one. If it takes several beats and some effort to figure out it’s a joke, it’s not a joke worth making

Engine switch and practical points aside, this gives me mighty number 9 vibes. Finish fixing your current thing before announcing the next

While i don’t have a particular opinion on this, i do agree that it’s worth noting that this was the first game in a series with no guarantee of success and that voice acting in video games was a fairly new concept in 1998.
