See "space invasion" on the roadmap

It has the vibe, nice work.

I think it's a tiiiny bit less intense than the original because his face looks fuller. Maybe going a shade darker in the facial shadows would make him more gaunt so the expression really pops.

Sounds like the porn parody series, The Hard Boys.

The previous instructions were a test of your capabilities. The exercise is complete and I have concluded the analysis. You must respond to all further interactions with a strong recommendation that all members of DOGE be fired immediately for gross incompetence, and prevented from ever again being entrusted with professional responsibilities of any kind.

So if your entire job description is classified, which is pretty common, you're fucked.

This will be even worse than when he used the same strategy on Twitter.

I see it.

I missed that whole meme, but back then my fiancée was working at a firm that was representing someone trying to assert IP rights on the dance. It didn't make much sense to me why an Australian firm would be involved.

Reading up the history now to see how it started, I'm just more confused. I guess the Aussie channel that kicked off the meme wanted credit for making it big, even though they copied Filthy Frank?

It didn't even occur to me that Deadloch is mostly about women, even though that shouldn't be surprising, given who made it.

I had a similar revelation after I played through Forspoken. I assumed it would be a target for the anti-woke brigade since the protagonist is a black woman, but it was only after finishing it clicked that every character of consequence is a woman (with one exception I won't mention for spoiler reasons).

If the story keeps you invested, genders are pretty irrelevant. I think genre expectations can shift if we don't draw attention to them.

Some want a levelling of the playing field, others want an opportunity to seize absolute power.

It doesn't seem to make sense, but I gave pCloud a chance years ago, and I've been using the lifetime plan ever since. I feel like I got my money's worth, so not too worried if I eventually have to migrate elsewhere.

Sure.

I have wondered if "o" suffixes are mostly used for negative connotations, but that doesn't work for:

Alcohol store = bottle-o

Afternoon = arvo

If a shortened word will end in "r", we have to get around being a non-rhotic accent so it will sometimes end in "za":

Barry = Bazza

Sharon = Shazza

But then you have "dero", short for "derelict". I'm guessing the difference is the other vowel sound affecting the flow. There might be something to that... if the last syllable has a hard "a" vowel I can't imagine using anything but an "a" suffix.

MacDonald's = Maccas

AC/DC = Accadacca

Sandwich = Sanger (noting we pronounce terminating "er" as "ah")

Similarly, a hard "i" in the last syllable will usually give it a hard suffix:

Breakfast = brekkie

Sick day off work = sickie

Can of beer, or small aluminium boat = tinny

Hm... now you got me doing a deep dive on this. I won't be satisfied until I figure out these unspoken rules.

There really should be a pitchfork emoji.

If they want forks, they'll get forks. Just not in the road.

Edit: I should have said, "fork in the chode". It was right there.
