weke? It’s the Internet, you can say weke

We’re you referencing this by chance?

I’ve been hearing a lot about this “everything that’s manmade, tall, and narrow is a phallus” theory the last few years, online and even in some college courses. Frankly, I don’t really buy it. Disclosure, this is totally out of my field, so feel free to set my take on fire if I’m wrong. I don’t doubt that the phallus explanation is true in a few cases, but for most towers, spires, steeples, and other pointy monuments, there’s a couple of other possible inspirations that seem more likely to me. The first would be the upright and narrow stance of humans as opposed to animals standing on four legs close to the ground, like a monument to human exceptionalism. Another theory that I would buy is that tall things just look cool to us on an instinctual level. Trees, mountains, and cliffs are beautiful and are more easily personified than other natural features (relating back to the first point). They have this dignity and magesty about them, it makes sense that our architecture and art would attempt to convey that.

I don’t know, I guess I’m just projecting when I say this, but I just can’t imagine designing a building with cool spikes and thinking “these represent my dick”.

Dude, behind you

I like the use of perspective in that last panel

I do the “eh” thing sometimes without thinking about it but I agree with you, I don’t like being on the other end of it either. I’m trying to work on that

Yous ain’ts goins nowheres

Username checks out

… Or more likely, when the guy who was even more anti-Palistine manages to win the election, their takeaway will be to adopt some of those more-anti-Palistine policies and sentiments because they were apparently more popular. You’ve got the overton window backwards

Start with an artist I already like, find out who inspired them and who they inspired, listen to them, repeat

I was about to say, there isn’t just one tumbleweed. There are a bunch of plants that evolved to grow in a roundish shape, dry out, and unroot. I don’t even know them by name, but my area has at least 3 distinct plants that could be considered tumbleweeds

You’re kinda freaking me out man!

the D is on hold atm

Okay good but what about their band?

To be fair, that’s the expected outcome for any interference engine that loses the timing belt, which is almost all modern engines as far as I know. 45k is a really short lifespan for a timing belt though :/

Oh and as for the reader, this is the one that I’ve bought:

Panlong Bluetooth OBD2 OBDII Car… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PJPHEBO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It’s super cheap, I had to replace it once a couple years ago because the first one rattled apart, but for the price who gives a fuck

Huh, I have a OnePlus 8t on Android 14, so one version behind. There are other apps that’ll read obd2, but I haven’t tried any of them so I can’t make a recommendation. Torque’s been the standard for years though, so it’s too bad that it’s apparently behind on updates

this one

It’s not the freshest app but it works

To oversimplify, your car maintains a list of faults, and if that list isn’t empty, it’ll turn on the check engine light. An obd2 code reader let’s you see those codes. I can vouch that these Bluetooth readers + torque are the cheapest way to get these codes without going to a parts store. Even if you have no intention of doing your own work on your car, it’s good to have an idea what the problem is so your mechanic doesn’t rip you off.

They generally only return obd2 codes though, which are required by law for emissions. Many automakers keep extra, proprietary codes that require expensive, proprietary tools to read.

There was that Voltron reboot that was on Netflix about a decade ago. Granted I was a teenager back then, but I remember liking it

I’ve met people who were certain that bugs weren’t animals
