That and a set of kneepads.
That and a set of kneepads.
There was a period in the 90s where either Wednesdays or Thursdays you could get a hamburger for .29¢ and a cheeseburger for .39¢ which is about all they’re worth.
I miss the OG Prey. That gravity was fun.
If it’s part of a performance, for example. I guess the point of the debate here is that context matters and that you can do it under very, very specific circumstances.
“Free speech” is very much misunderstood as a form of carte blanche as your example demonstrates. It’s written as “Congress shall make no law…” etc., implying you’re protected only from the federal government, but as time and court cases and legal discourse have shown, there are limits and implications for lower legislatures to model from. The classic hypothetical example is “yelling fire in a crowded theater.” Can you? Yes. Should you? Unless there’s a fire, no, then it could cause panic and injury, and you’d be responsible. That sort of thing. (The US loves a lawsuit).
Tl;dr to answer your question: no.
The ISP motto: “I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
Back in the day, I got so sick of seeing it that I just put: “I hate hiking, bonfires, and beaches.” It worked out pretty well.
Anything utilizing Dutch crunch bread is going to be damn good, I used to love a Togo’s #16 (Italian) on that with mayo back when they still had it as a bread option.
Bruegel the Elder is pretty neat. Not my favorite period of art, but his little details are so incredible.
Deckard’s gun in Blade Runner was always my favorite. Somewhat uncanny because it was clearly sci-fi, but retained that hard boiled detective aesthetic, like you misremembered a noir shootout.
If you document that you gave it, you need to have seen them take it. If they’re being stubborn and are competent, document that you educated them on the consequences and that they still refused.
Michael Haneke’s The White Ribbon comes to mind.
An interesting case (from a book which I unfortunately can’t remember the name of) from when Jack Benny’s career transitioned from radio to tv: he hated the laugh track, so much so that he demanded it be cut way back and lowered in volume. He also utilized it in an unexpected way: when he had a live audience in certain cases, if a joke or gag got an unexpected big laugh that he didn’t think deserved the reaction, he’d fill in a laugh track with a more muted response.
