new heights of extraversion - was at an airport, saw some guys repairing these friction lines, went up to them and asked questions
the lines turn out to be called 'grip strip' and they are using a 'putty knife' and a 'margin trowel' to apply it. The mixture will dry in 15m. Before it dries they also have to sprinkle sand on top and press in with the knife/trowel.
I was writing this down in a notebook, and they asked me what for, and I told them I'm sick of not knowing the words for things. Sometimes it feels like I don't know the words for anything! I've read so many words without ever mapping them to the physical things they corresponded to.
I'm going through the corridor that's outside of the airport building and leads into the airplane, I don't know what it's called either (edit: just asked the flight attendant, it's called a jet bridge)
There's yellow and black angled striped tape on the sides of the floor of the jet bridge, and I don't know why THAT'S there or what it's called. (edit: kind online people have informed me this is "hazard tape" / "hazard stripes" / "safety tape", and the general class is called "barricade tape".)
I haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet but there’s a book called A Field Guide to Roadside Technology that’s got the names, what they do and pictures of 150 things you see beside the road.
i feel like alot of people don't seem to understand that when people online are like ""I want a movie where the man cries" or "I want an anime where they don't sexualize little girls" they don't actually base weather or not they want to watch a piece of media on "does this have a trope i like/don't like". they just want the media they already like to have not have that shitty trope. when somebody complains about common tropes in shonen anime and you are like "well maybe you should stop watching shonen anime" it's like no they actually do like one piece they just don't like the occasional transmisogyny that sometimes comes with it.
like yeah i guess if i wanted to watch media that is not bad, i could watch media that's really good, but alot of media that's really good doesn't have the elements that i enjoy from media that is bad, so you see the issue here?
like i suppose if i don't enjoy the homophobia in persona 5 i COULD just watch downtown abbey but i don't think it has quite the kind of gameplay and visuals that i enjoy in persona 😔
Because The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog is free, and therefore the most accessible Sonic game for most people, it’s very likely it will become somebody’s first Sonic game
Just think about that
