I also loved my Wii U. It’s such a shame it wasn’t more popular. I basically used it like a switch with a box that needed to be plugged in, just took the console places and anywhere with an outlet I could plug in and play on the screen. Obviously the switch is the superior console but the Wii U was a banger.

I find that shaking my hands frustratedly while repeating the placeholder word at a higher frequency helps people understand what I’m trying to say to talk to me later

How have I never noticed that these goobers don’t have arms or nothin. I can’t imagine this thing walking in any way other than a swiggity swooty approach.

This is God’s creature right here.

I like to balance things in absolutely awful places. Like I’ll have a platter full of minis that are ready to be painted or a tray full of hundreds of tiny electric components and I’ll set them down on top of a closed water bottle??? Why???

Actually me. I see someone set something down and my brain says, “when Bill asks where his wallet is, we’ll know where it’s at! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽”

Bill never asks where his wallet is, and I don’t know where mine is.

Always wondered what the supposed point of the alphanumeric spelling of “private” was supposed to be…

Oh I absolutely relate with not having that deep connection until later on. I’m probably a little younger than you so by the time I discovered Michael at the age of 4 or so his legacy had already been established, I had vol 1 and 2 of the HIStory music videos and would watch them obsessively trying to dance and sing along, as a child I loved the performance aspect of it but even then felt some sort of emotional resonance… now as an adult when I dip back into Michael I can’t help but think about just how formative his art was in my life.

Yeah it’s the same shout used in many other performances, some of which that have very different messages and intentions. From a viewer’s perspective I agree that it can be easily misinterpreted; from a performer’s perspective, I don’t think the sound was specifically chosen or planned, when you’re zoned in on your performance you’re channeling a lot of energy and some things just find their way out. That’s what makes it so powerful to me, the dance doesn’t even feel specifically choreographed, the sound and dance are just expressions of raw emotion.

The man can literally make me want to cry by moving around and shouting. It’s so incredible.

but with the utterly bizarre shouts that don’t match the feel of the visuals.

I feel it matches perfectly, like you said it’s a dance of protest and anger, to me the improvised shouts are like outbursts of passion and anguish.

Not disagreeing with your opinion, the vocalisations are a little jarring. This music video (and a ton of other Michael videos) were a huge part of my childhood so maybe I’m just used to his shouts being a part of the visual.

Lmao standing up and shouting “McDonald’s!” is my favorite video game mechanic

Do you already have some sort of large work surface to mount your miter saw on? If you’re not overly concerned with appearance, a workbench is a pretty approachable project. Unless you’ve got something really fancy in mind

I get that, I think the aim of the meme is more like, “I’ve never done any woodworking before, I’m gonna start by design and build a super intricate entertainment system designed for heavy load with multiple interlocking pieces”

You gotta push yourself to learn but there’s definitely starter projects and non-starter projects

I’m supporting the dev that made the app I spend most of my screentime on by scrolling past an ad every 45 minutes. I hope you aren’t too offended.

I hit the jackpot

See I don’t get this “logic”

All of these ancient buildings had a similar structure, therefore a fantastic secret underwater civilization exists

Thirding the notion that it’s definitely not “mat” in the US. A mat is something you put on the ground, Matt is my cousin’s ex-fiance, and matte is a surface finish with little to no shine.

Really don’t know what people say English is hard to learn, we use the same word for so many things that there’s fewer words to learn /s

Not very funny meow, is it?

Moments like this are like dreams for me.

I’ll start doing something. And it starts to actually get done. Then I’ll throw in another task and it’s getting done too. I’ll realize that I’m getting stuff done, and excitedly try to get more stuff done.

But once I realize that I’m getting stuff done, I “wake up” and it all falls apart, and I’m left with 6 tasks at 75% completion.

I wonder if this is the actual philosophy Google had at the time or if they always planned to be what they are now.
