A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Oh noooooo don't open the "faithfulness" can of worms

YOU ARE EDUCATED STUPID. Truth is cubic. Time is cubic. Life is cubic. Form is cubic. There are 4 different simultaneous 24-hour days in a single rotation of the Earth

I'm an American, in the US, and I have a coworker called "Hotdog" because he ate a hot dog once before winning a race when he was a kid. He is now, I think, in his 50s.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.

All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

Then the real one should come back with a mullet.

ok one last post -- oldheads are always going to "why is the web dying.... how can we get the kids invested in the free and open web"

Bond is a creature of the Cold War and never should have been removed from his natural habitat.

I believe the answer is that the late 60s, all of the 70s & most of the 80s happened

The thing is though, both of them are weird, having the separate tubes for each track, instead of being one big tube for the station. Whatever "most deeply WMATA" means, it can't mean "atypical of Metro stations"
