Either that or folks will happily shovel the slop into their eyeballs and lose all critical thinking ability. It’s a toss-up.

I’m not even vegan, though we do vary our diet and avoid red meat, and yeah, steak worship is just weird AF.

Right, maybe it’s “longer” instead? Not sure!

At least add “more” afterwards…

The French use “Visio” kinda like a generic term to talk about a video call (short for visio-conférence), I find that much better already than that W nonsense.

The MacDonald method…

Wine, bread and cheese, personally.

Can’t wait for variable mortgage rates, but on mars.

I’m mostly joking, I think it’s great if we can become space farers, just can’t help but think about what we did the last time we were out colonizing…

Damn that’s the kinda shit that ends at the psych ward haha.

So the actual equivalent is testing directly on humans.

While I understand that it’s statistically likely, I can’t believe some people are actually named “John Smith” lol.

The usual line you’ll hear on set is that “if your audience notices this, you’re doing something wrong with your story telling”.

That’s often true but not always, a good set dresser will make a mess if the scene and character calls for it. Typically only for “film d’auteur” though in the more commercial things it’s almost always as you said.

The bigger issue in paw patrol is that the main character seems to be a billionaire type that uses his wealth to create and control his own public services (policing but also recycling, firefighting, construction, etc etc).

They paint hellinger as the evil rich man, which he is, but at least he’s government (mayor) and assumedly elected by his people.

Also the gist of every story is “let’s use these gas-powered vehicles and machines to solve every problem”.

So yeah, it’s very much billionaire apologia on top of the police boot-licking.

The shorts are so close to her skin colour I thought it was even worse than that.

Liquid lunch.

Yeah we have that in Europe on highway stops and other places with high traffic of people like stadiums, big concert venues etc.

In fact, there are no seatbelts.

Exactly!

I fail to understand what inverting the map achieved here.
