Never seen one like that. The video store I worked at had one that was huge and looked like an alien ware PC. You put the disc in and after a deafening horrendous noise for what felt like a full 60s or more you’d pull out an astonishingly well cleaned near scratch free disc. I didn’t actually put 2 and 2 together that the DVD cleaner was of course buffing and so inherently destructive and I thought it was kinda neat so for a little while there I started buffing discs with only superficial damage that hadn’t had complaints 😳.

The awful noise it used to make got worse and worse over the lifetime of the machine too. Crazy thing. Did it’s job really well though.

That’s a bonus award in Smash Bros Melee, did they also call you a bird of prey or peaceful warrior? Maybe you misinterpreted.

It’s funny, if I saw this in a film I’d say the CGI wasn’t quite convincing but this is apparently actually what a massive helicopter in a rice field looks like.

Something about this shot specifically though, because other images of the scene don’t give me that vibe.

It’s pretty much what unites us

also its almost always a right wing rando

Wouldn’t the idea of the attempted assasins being right wing speak against the idea of staging the assassination attempts? Half of Trump’s entire appeal and platform is victimhood so surely if you’re going to pretend someone tried to kill you, you’d pretend it was someone from the opposing side to your own politics to extract as much political capital from the incident as possible.

I think the implication was supposed to be that the Americans call calculators “calcs” and the image wants to ridicule them for that. I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever heard of that outside of maybe software names, but I’m not from the US.
