If you're getting merch made of a design or logo, please remember that just because you can scale a vector infinitely small, doesn't mean physical items can retain that level of tiny detail. Especially embroidery/embroidered patches. If you want to ensure text is readable, keep it min 1/4in tall.
Yeah I think we don't realize how many of the "this can't be a coincidence" events are happening in a larger context. Like "I mentioned watches next to Alexa and now I'm getting ads for watches!" [browser history also has watches]
That was my response the first time I saw it. "Oh so that's where that's from." And the best part is that even the lines and scenes you hadn't heard of are great too
I genuinely think it is a characteristic of The Youth to see everything on the timeline as, essentially, material, and not something connected to a real person. And they react VIOLENTLY if the "material" replies.
I just don't know if people realize that the person they're QTing can see their post? Like they think they're doing a stage whisper "get a load of this guy?" Or they figure the person they're quoting is too big to notice?
"Ritual vs religion" is a pretty valuable distinction for describing how and when Judaism manifests in our house, where observing holidays serves as an acknowledgement of the seasons and a connection to a community and its history, but we make little mention of theology.
Religion and ritual are not the same thing, but insofar as religion provides a narrative for ritual, I think humans as a group won’t have much luck getting rid of religion either. Although we might, perhaps, kid ourselves into renaming it something else.
It also describes why my wife doesn't care to read translations of birchot. She's not interested in the meaning so much as the pattern and sound of the original Hebrew.
This reminds me of that study that was publicized recently with a headline like "n% of Black people believe in conspiracy theories" and then the things cited were like the most uncontroversially true things
Pew puts out a study where black people say that they 'believe' in things that are obviously, historically true, well-documented, and still happening today and calls them 'racial conspiracy theories'; are taken aback when people get mad about it
Yeah my superficial understanding of intersectionality has always been about overlapping marginalizations, but this episode shows me that it also needs to be about the weird balance when marginalization meets privilege
I’ve said a lot that Tarantino is one of the best soundtrack directors out there because he *never* makes obvious choices. And often his needle drops are obscure beforehand, iconic afterwards.
Most of the Reservoir Dogs selections are sleepers; not truly unknown, but not the biggest hits. And the one well-known track, “Stuck in the Middle With You?” Forever changed in the public eye due to the scene it’s used in.
I know a lot of people on here will try to tell me “actually everybody always knew Dick Dale was great before Pulp Fiction came out” but they’re wrong. The Black Eyed Peas would never even have heard of Misirlou without Tarantino.
Imagine if Zack Snyder had made the soundtrack choices for Reservoir Dogs. It’d be the most boring picks every time. Like the scene where White and Pink are kicking the crap out of Officer Marvin Nash? “Kung Fu Fighting.”
