And that’s one of their songs that ISN’T about sex. Honestly it’s been awhile but I’m struggling to think of a Nirvana song that is actually about (positive) sex rather than using it metaphorically. It makes sense from someone with a very unusual relationship with sexuality. (Ie. Kurt was likely trans but didn’t really have the opportunity to discover that)

Nirvana is both quite horny AND quite angry more than neither.

Really still just sounds like you’re coming from a place of bigotry to me. I really think you will be a happier and healthier (and probably better) person if you learn to find joy in the things that are the same in other cultures rather than focusing on the things that are different. It is a picture of a silly sign making a silly joke about a common frustration in somebodies profession and all you can think about is how awful you think the people behind it are. The joke is not denigrating anybody, it is not othering anybody, the audience of the sign does not feel unsafe or threatened by it. You are finding issues with it because of the context. Because you have other issues with the culture displayed. That’s bigotry.

So you agree, the only difference between the jokes is that one is high brow and well said, and the other is low brow and written on a sign at a truck stop. I don’t know how you can read what you wrote and not see that you obviously have a chip on your shoulder regarding the types of people associated with the setting rather than some intellectually honest issue with what’s in the picture. Just say “I can’t find this funny because I fucking hate blue collar Americans”. You can do it, you can just say that instead of this “bitch eating crackers” bullshit.

Tongue in cheek threats are in fact funny to a tremendous number of people since time immemorial. I’m sorry you don’t approve of the way some people enjoy being silly.

Y’know the cheese shop sketch? The famous monty python sketch where John Cleese ends it with shooting the cheese shop owner for wasting his time? Basically the same joke, famously funny sketch. You just have opinions about “this type of person”

The ability to make a silly dumb joke about a minor occupational annoyance is a window into being able to laugh at yourself. Your inability to look at someone making a silly joke without making political condemnations about their character says more about you than about them.

ITS. A. JOKE.

If I’m only allowed one type of pencil it’s good old #2 (I’m more of a pen snob)

Shot and bombed, oh yeah, and they and their families were SET ON FIRE AND BURNED ALIVE

Only fresh pasta is made with eggs, dry pasta typically doesn’t use eggs. It’s semolina durum wheat and water, pushed through copper dies and then dried.

Uh, very few countries have birthright only citizenship.

Sorry, I didn’t mean it can’t be done, I did it plenty in the 90s/00s, I meant that the resulting image tends to be noticeably less sharp. But perhaps analog->digital converters got better?

My dude, VGA is ANALOG it absolutely cannot run a LCD and make it look right, it is for CRTs

I’m pretty sure they’re shown getting fueled via fuel cap so I assume the mouth is a sex organ.

I have no mouth and I must rev.

Uh, have you heard of a company called Bombardier? They also make a lot of games and TV.

Y’know, I’ve been thinking it’s more than that lately. Yes, all that is true, but I think the younger generations who grew up being terminally connected to everything, always having to have a phone on them, always needing to be able to be reached by people, all their business on social media etc… I think we’ve developed an unspoken respect that when we contact people we let them respond on their own terms. If you text someone you are telling them, hey, I need something but, you can read this when it’s convenient, and you can respond when and in the method that’s convenient to you. When you call someone you are saying, I need something and I need you to deal with it right now over immediate voice chat. Yes, we can say I’m busy therefore I’ll let it go to voicemail, but in this day and age of respectful texting being the norm, we often assume a call out of the blue from a known number IS something important that requires immediate attention.

This meme hurts me physically every time it gets reposted. It is not a complete picture of anything, it’s just easy to make people thoughtlessly accept stories if they shit on Elon, who to be clear deserves it. Those two guys were the first guys who started Tesla to bring the work of AC Propulsions to market. They are first and foremost tech millionaires (now quite likely billionaires) and do not deserve idolization either. The engineers of AC Propulsion ie Wally Rippel who also helped design the EV1 are the ones who actually made the technology happen.

The Tesla guys had the idea to put the tzero concept and tech into production shoved into a Lotus Elise and to market it to silicon valley investors as essentially a tech company. Elon was the main investor who went for it, also after speaking to AC Propulsion about putting the tzero into production. The rest is pretty well documented history of Elon being a huge asshole who accomplished very little if anything off his own merit while pushing out everyone around him.

But as far as “These are the real founders of Tesla” goes, the only things they did on their own was suggest AC Propulsions to put the tzero into production a bit sooner than Elon and deciding to create a tech startup to license the tzero technology and put it into a Lotus and style it as a tech company. If you want to inform people of the real heroes behind the electric car and Tesla, teach people about the tzero, AC Propulsion, Wally Rippel, and the other engineers who made the battery electric vehicle a feasible reality.
