Hmm I’m not sure I totally agree. My nephews play with them the same way I did, intermingling sets with bucket bricks. And LEGO’s first sets came out just a few years after the bricks.
But I don’t totally disagree either because they’ve expanded their market to adults who want to use the completed sets as decoration and it seems to have made everything worse.
I’m guilty of it. I love the plant collection and have a few mixed in with my actual plants
When I first switched, I downloaded a half dozen ISOs and stuck em on a Ventoy drive along with some Windows and OS X ISOs.
Beats the hell out of the keychain I used to use
I heard about the LEGO drama recently (some big promoter went off about quality control and started recommending the other brands) so I checked em out. Pretty cool stuff!
The selection isn’t great (a lot of cars) and the mini figs are horrifying but overall, LEGO might be in trouble.
Wow, what a thread!
I use a Martingale collar on my dog. It’s super loose until you pull from the loop (where the leash attaches). The only time I take it off is to give him a bath. I don’t think he really even notices it’s there
Jeff Larson is a big fan of The Onion and saved it from dying. After being forced to sell the first time, they had to tone down a lot of the articles and it got pretty meh. Then this guy created a company referencing a long-running Onion joke, bought it, and gave them free reign again. Like totally hands off, it’s the employees who decide what to publish
I’ve been reading The Onion since the early 2000s and it got BETTER under his ownership. Back to their roots.
There really wasn’t a lot of coverage considering the severity of the crime so I’ll give people a pass for not knowing. Hell, I was a fan until the murder. I didn’t know he was dating a kid.
But really this is a failing of the police who had known about it long before the murder. Or at least they should have known because D4VD’s fans reported it - with pictures and recordings from his livestream.
Yeah they should use normal names like Google and Hulu
I don’t think she meant for this to happen with her initial comment but I’m glad she stepped up.
Not to give her too much credit but I feel the backlash a beloved kids show host got just for caring about kids was a wakeup call for a lot of people
It got you higher than a sequoia (I looked it up, it was jokingly proposed as a name for what became 10.10 Yosemite)
Everyone who is better than me is a sweaty tryhard with no life.
I do not believe that someone can beat me without dedicating their life to this game.
No one ever just gets lucky or goes on a hot streak.
I should be winning games as easily as I did at lower ranks despite not making an effort to get better
Tyler1 has such a vile personality. I know it’s largely a bit (I watched a video on the story of OnlyFangs and he “breaks character” a few times) but I just don’t understand how people can enjoy watching such an obnoxious and loud shit talker
I tangled a puzzle from this line, forgot to fix it, and found it 20 years later. Still haven’t untangled it
Yeah, they went through a few different sounds and that was their party era.
I’m too familiar with internet anonymity to truly believe this but I wouldn’t be surprised if the ghostbusters backlash was started by the studio.
There’s no way they didn’t know it was bad…but they already paid for it and would get shit for canning it. So they made it seem like the release was sabotaged by the patriarchy.
Corporations are ALL about dividing and conquering.
I picked that one in particular because it has some of the same jazz elements that I liked about Maruja but their EP and two albums are a bit all over the place (in a good way imo)
See, ladies? We made movies for you but no one liked them…obviously because of misogyny, not because they were obvious and soulless cash grabs.
It’s corporate feminism.
Came across Avalon Emerson recently with the song Written Into Changes but nothing hits that same vibe. I like some of the other tracks but this one really does it for me
I had a similar experience after hearing their song Saoirse.
Check out the Irish band Bricknasty
That whole album has the same vibe as Tubthumping
Nice foldawable. The plant looks sad, though
