The bottom image is Grant Imahara. He was a great engineer and well known for his work on several major movie franchises, mythbusters, and BattleBots. He died relatively young and tragically from a brain aneurysm.
Edgy
Bro, Iβm fucking 40. Whoβs trying to be edgy here? I just donβt give a shit about a person on television that much.
Uh huh, you care so little you absolutely have to write several angry Internet comments. Very edgy indeed.
No, I just like entertaining idiots for a living, how are you doing, buddy? Am I making you happy?
For trolling you have to sprinkle in more indifference, you're still trying too hard and come of as someone with anger issues.
Waves and dances harder
Okay grandpa let's get you back to bed.
OK buddy sure thing but Grant Imahara was there to sell commercials. Your entertainment was an afterthought
Yeah, that's how the entire entertainment business works, great observation, but that was never the point of contention here.
You, angrily pissing on someones grave to feel morally superior to some Internet strangers is the point why I make fun of you.
I donβt feel morally superior to him. I feel morally superior to the people that keep on elevating him to some godlike status.
That's what I was saying and it is very sad.
You're that guy right now.
Caring about someone dying is not the same as elevating them to godhood. People on tv are still real people, and it's weird that you are so adamant about playing down the value of those lives.
The people on television are absolutely not real people. As soon they get any form of celebrity status, it elevates them to what we get here and nowβ¦ people randomly defending a commercial salesman while theyβre in some parasocial crisis
I hope that you someday understand how telling us what you think is sad and pathetic in this thread only reveals what makes you the same.
Miss me with your parasocial bullshit. Kill your heros
Are you normally this ornery?
You are an embarrassment to the 40yo community. Hereby we are throwing you out. Aye, brothers?
Is the community only the 40 year old ones, the ones from 31 to 40 or from 40 to 49?
It's only 40, and we are working on greenwich time to ensure on- and offboarding are standardized.
I find 40-year-old men that elevate a dead television celebrity fucking gross but you guys can have fun jerking each other off over him here all you want.
"Gross" is what 10 year olds say about broccoli
Adolf Hitler was a controversial german politician. He is considered in large part responsible for the second world war, and especially the holocaust.
Hitler is generally considered quite a bad person, and it is a common trope to use a time machine to go back in time to kill him before his rise to power.
Grant doesn't need explanation as everybody knows mythbusters.
Honestly, Hitler's on everyone else's time travel hitlist. I'd go back and get the guy that put LED headlights into cars. I am so sick of getting not just blinded, but migrained after a short night drive in the city.
LEDs are objectively better.
The problem is cool-tinted LEDs, too bright LEDs, and bad adjustments.
Bright lights is when regulation doesn't work.
I thought that was sawdust and not locking the doors in factories?
I never had to deal with different headlights, but I would imagine LEDs are more efficient and have better longevity than incandescent bulbs. If they are too bright that sounds like something that could and should be easily solved for all these benefits.
Not just headlights.
When they design new roads they now use a bigger spacing between streetlights, because LEDs have wider optics. That still doesn't guarantee they will install lights with wider optics. Some moron installs lights with optics that are meant to be used as an alternative light source in the old system with narrower spacing.
End result is a light level that constantly flickers between pitch black and celestial might when you drive on it.
It should be solved but it doesn't hit the radar in politics, at least not here in Canada. They are objectively better lights, the problem is that standards don't exist and non-highbeams are blindingly bright. It especially sucks if you're not in a truck or SUV.
Get the ones responsible for building the entire infrastructure around cars rather than around people
i'd cap henry ford, fuck the assembly line.
i want artisanal heirloom fridges that have been repaired for 4 generations because it's cheaper than buying a new one.
Hitler? You mean Hans Sprechter?

LEDs arent the problem there.
