Right? If you ignore the dumb-looking decals, at least.

Edit: pretty dang low bar though, tbf.

Yeah they definitely get there. I miss their first album vibes fr though. "Tesselate" was a great ode to threesomes (well love triangles, at least) , and "Fitzpleasure" was just all horny, all day.

I feel like The Dream is the closest they've gotten back to that sound since then, but they went a little far with it and didn't have many catchy or groovy tracks, imo. Any recommendations for bands/albums with similar vibes to An Awesome Wave?

Oof, it's even the perfect shade of orange, the kind that evokes extreme citrus flavor. Crush orange soda levels of orange. Beautiful!

Shame that awesome cars are so often owned by awful people. Should get the exact same one and convert it to fuel cell just to spite him. ;P

Gotta be honest, as someone that really likes orange cars, that orange is very nicely applied and looks slick.

Obvs the rest of it (and super obvs the car itself) looks like trash, but that's no surprise.

My uniform! For outside of the house at least. Jammy shorts for inside time.

God this game looks so good. It's on my shortlist for sure.

Yeah but the thing is, there's a huge portion of the population out there that just flat-out refuses to eat any kind of "meat substitute". Some on a purely ideological ground, but plenty of otherwise well-meaning individuals that are just used to meat, and so anything else "just tastes weird".

To be fair, plenty of those same folks would still be against lab-meat for the same reasons, but I think it has the potential to bridge the gap a little and bring some more of those folks over, if you can say that this is "actually real meat", and particularly if the taste and texture are really on par.

I agree with your point though - soy proteins are about 90% as good as most meats (especially for something ground up like nuggets), and that's way more than enough to make it worth it imo. And it's even better when you're just not trying to replicate meat products in the first place - which I think is really the better approach - you can eat lots of great new things that aren't just burgers and nuggets and steaks! Being willing to eat meatless opens up such a huge new world of culinary space! It's wild that people that claim to be super invested in their food "tasting" just right are so unwilling to try the huge world of new flavors and experiences they are missing out on.

How did any human being think this was a good look?

Also, classic tesla move:

3 for sure, I really like that tangy freshness. I've been getting a lot more accepting of the higher numbers though, so I'll do up to a 5 without much complaint, and even a 6 if there's really nothing else to eat.

So, the conclusion here is... Canada is a little taller than the US.

I mean, sure?

lol

Tbf, that was 2015, and also those guys are well known for making some of the most terminally goofy music out there.

It's nice that they're wearing gloves for the final throwdown. Wouldn't want anybody's lil knuckies getting hurt when deciding the fate of the material realm.

Nothing helps your cash-hemorrhaging company attract new advertisers like the most petty weak little baby-slaps against people that have (rightfully, as you've since admitted) called you out for bad behavior. Man, where can I sign up to do business with this guy!

I like to think of it like other info-agnostic words. It's fine if you don't know, but once you know, you use what they prefer as a sign of respect.

Like how you can refer to someone across the room you haven't met as "that person over there", but if they were just talking to you and had introduced themselves, then calling them that would be kinda uncool.

Grew up in the Evangelical church - the way they always explained it to us is that it's not a religion (which is a dogmatic set of beliefs that one only obey because they are told to), but rather it's a personal relationship with Jesus, and you do the things he tells you to do only because you love him so much.

It also opens the door for some weird loopholes for dealing with apostates, since if you stop doing the things they tell you to, you must not truly have loved Jesus to begin with.

It really feels like they've honed the edge of the mind virus extra razor-sharp. Lots of wacky thought-terminating logic structures, kinda cool if it weren't so devious.

I like it, not everyone does. Helps to have a playlist curated ahead of time.

I really like to match the rhythm of a song in the act, and a few times that has gone exceptionally well in unexpected ways; Tyler's 'Rusty' set a surprisingly good pace with somebody who was definitely not into that style, more of a country music person - I don't think they even heard the song, as they were a little distracted.

On the other hand, I had really great success with Leslie Hall's 'Body Rolls', and would recommend it if y'all are the type for some giggles during the act. Unfortunately, this person really liked that song before but basically can't listen to it now because they found the experience a little too bizarre.

Dude can't even manage to look cool wearing a bulletproof vest in a warzone and working on cybernetic brain implants.
