Ford Econoline Chicane Concept,1996. A design study for a superbike racing team support vehicle, the Chicane was based on an E-350 powered by Ford's then-new 265hp, 6.8-litre V-10. The interior featured 4 captain's chairs, a rear-seat VCR player, and Siemens TetraStar navigation system. The rear compartment was separated from the main cabin by a bulkhead and was fitted with a fold-out workbench and tool chest

Watcher fans sure are entitled and a little insane, ngl. "No one is going to sign up for your service! We're all poor! You've made the worst decision, and you'll be back in no time!" Saying this directly to the creators really reminds you of how low the respect for people you don't personally know has gone. I miss the forth wall between creator and audience.
I get and fully understand not having the money to support them, but... Watcher does have fans with money. A lot of them actually. They have merch sales. Their live tour sells out most venues. They have thousands of supporters on Patreon, where the cheapest tier is $5. They're able to gauge the rough finances of their staunchest supporters; that's how they landed on the subscription price. Yes, this move will reduce their viewership in sheer numbers, but to say all of their fans are broke and none will follow/support is factually incorrect.
It may not be a decision everyone agrees with, but severing the limitations of advertisers and youtube in favor of artistic freedom is a good thing. Yes, even if it comes with a loss of revenue. They understand that risk.
Also, I'm begging people to stop treating this like "another Netflix" or something and instead look at it as, "I am supporting a creator I like, similar to Patreon." They literally said in the video that they don't care if you share accounts. Get five friends, and you'll pay $1/mo.
I hate feeling compelled to rant in favor of their decision because I have my own reservations about whether it's the best move. However, I know it's not a choice they made lightly, and I like to think they understand that they'll need to branch out like crazy to entice subscribers.

all the while society conflates "being an adult" with "having a proper job" and "having money to make arbitrary Adult Purchases" disabled people who can't work - or can only work part time or can only do entry level baby jobs - will never be 'allowed' to be adults
you can say "being an adult is looking after yourself you don't have to have a job!!!" all you want but most people who say that will still assume anybody who doesn't either can't or won't 'look after themselves' actually. and every 'marker' of 'adulthood' that's observable and thus actually counts or whatever loops back around to... having a job and 'contributing' something

Okay i have yet to see a post about this that isnt filled with ppl being Annoying as Fuck on it, but,
theyve found wreckage of the submersible, it imploded (thank god, thats better than a drawn out suffocation over the course of several days, implosion means it was pretty much instantaneous) and the us navy have revealed they heard a weird sound on sunday from about where communication with the sub was lost, that was probably the sound of the implosion, [implied that they didnt say anything cos they didnt want to jump to conclusions without evidence of a wreckage, if there was a chance they were still alive.] no idea what the banging sounds were.
I do hope rescue efforts are extended to the migrants off the coast of greece, and am angry and horrified at their mistreatment, and that the media clearly cares less for their fates than that of the billionaires on the sub.
also, while i have you here,
The difference between a submersible and a submarine is not that one is safer. The titan was a submersible that was unsafe, but that is not because it was a submersible.
A submarine (or sub) is a watercraft capable of independent operation underwater.
A submersible is a watercraft designed to operate underwater, usually supported by a nearby surface vessel, platform, shore team or sometimes a larger submarine.
submarines generally dont go as deep as our deepest submersibles, but some can be down there for months at a time bc it is like. a self sufficient Ship. not all submersibles can go crazy deep, but to my knowledge, the only crewed vessels that can go that deep, are submersibles. (Alvin, deepsea challenger, limiting factor, trieste, fendouzhe or "striver").

Random question
Why do you guys think McFarlane didn't make figures of Recom Quaritch or any of the Recoms or Ronal? (Ronal has a tiny one but I wouldn't really count that tbh). I'd love to have more characters on my shelf besides Jake, Neytiri, Tonowari, and Human Quaritch.

i'm going to go full conspiracy theorist but it honestly is seeming to me that there is a large zionist and israeli network that targets kpop groups for these collabs, probably claiming to offer them western success and using their methods and connections. for bts, their western songs like ptd, butter, dynamite might not have collabs but there have been some people exposed by zionistsinmusic that co-wrote these songs. then there's their actual collabs with charlie puth, too much having omer fedi, benny blanco etc. like i actually think it's an intentional, organized effort on the part of western labels and artists and players and i wouldn't be surprised if scooter braun was at the helm of it all
no but literally and i think it's not an insane of a theory because zionists need to be recognized in these spaces in order to receive money and thrive and these companies and just letting them in willingly because of money purposes and then you see them spreading propaganda every other day on social media to their followers and it's obvious this is all planned the music industry is one of the many industries where they do this that's why there are so many authors, filmmakers, musicians, actors and etc that are zionists or are even israhelli because over time, they ended up having a place in these places. it's part of the propaganda machine it just works because even some people weren't zionists before they end up being because they might receive money from israhell or were eventually indoctrinated to believe in the propaganda and that's how they eventually get musicians to perform there and to say they love it there and etc and scooter braun is an example of that he literally took justin bieber there when he was younger and justin bieber is a zionist and supports israhell and now they are forcing themselves on the kpop industry because the western industry is starting to pick up on this and also because there are some people in the west that stopped believing in propaganda so yeah i mean it's all very on purposed and planned that's why i always say that we shouldn't let this be normal and as you can see it's starting be a lot more common for these people to be in kpop songs maybe it was in the past and we didn't notice but it's being pushed for these people to work in kpop music more and more it's no coincidence
