Different cultures and different people deal with this sort of stuff in different ways.

I wasn’t in NYC at the time, but I had been in the twin towers one month before the attack. I was working in London during the attack, my building for evacuated. Still, when I heard that a radio station had played “it’s raining men” during the attack, it was a big oof but also a very good if tasteless joke. And that was the same year!

The British have a great sense of humour for dealing with tragedy. After the 7/7 bombings, an old chap on the news was saying “I’ve been bombed by a better class of bastard than this”, and the next day office staff across the whole financial centre, at least, all lined the roads at 11am. Both in remembrance, and in defiance of the attackers.

Some people find stuff sacrosanct and feel it can’t be mentioned, let alone be the basis of a joke. And some feel humour is a way to humanise, process and deal with a tragedy. But let it be clear it is never mocking the tragedy or victims, it is usually looking for some funny angle on something inconsequential compared to the tragedy.

(Of course there are examples to the contrary, I’m giving an overall view of the reaction there at the time and since)

Ayyyy Come on guyyyyyy relaaaaax

Has. Autocorrect fail :)

I got an Amiga 500 in 1989 and adored it for a good ten years.

5 years ago I donated it. To a (computer) museum. That made me feel old.

The one for Predator is hilarious - done after the fact they can’t remember half the movie, and lots of amazing stories come out, such as the heat-camera not working in the jungle (as everything is hot) so they tried dousing the scenery in ice water, making the cast stand next to a fire, then quickly record it. It didn’t work well.

We know that this is from a series of texts that built on each other - many “facts” and feats attributed to Jesus were earlier attributed to Mithras and others.

The same “miracles” and other stuff get reused and applied to new prophets or supposed gods as they roll in.

Revanced app had the superior UI/UX.

Not because if taste, but because it is the YouTube UI that then allows you to add and remove stuff from the UI, getting away from all the user-hostile stuff. If you want to.

Starting a post with “Wrong.” and listing a few items that support your view is… Well it gives me Reddit energy, not a good thing. ;)

Here are some counterexamples that negate it: “I’ll be ready in a couple of minutes”, “it’s a couple of miles away”.

This does not always mean exactly two. I mean, if you just want to yell out “it always means exactly two!” Then that’s on you, but in the English language everyone else in the world uses, it often means two, but can also mean around but not exactly two, depending on the use case.

Look on communities for stable diffusion or flux. The latest stuff is eerily good.

Weird intersectional porn.
