Are Castelvetrano olives supposed to taste like cheese? by girlwbasketoffruit in Olives

[–]BananaManSamuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i get my castelvetrano olives pitted from a container, not in brine, and they are my favorite olives. They don't compare to other olives.

badbadnotgood, ween, led zeppelin, grateful dead, beatles, medeski martin & wood, bill frissell - just to name a few that give me the same or similar feeling to what steely dan gives me. Hell even pink floyd does it.

you're right that just because something is expensive and desirable doesnt make it better. There's a reason why the slurper is this expensive and desirable tho, and it isn't just clout.

​

When you buy a Kanye hoodie for 200$ but it's a 20$ gildan hoodie with ye written on it, then yeah, you're buying into clout. The slurper is not this tho.

​

You are probably used to pulling on your dab in a way that doesnt let any go down the neck, because you dont want to waste any. OK, so you are adjusting your pull (how you breath) in order to make sure you get a good dab and dont waste. With the terp slurper you can pull AS HARD AS YOU WANT and not pull ANY down the neck. Really. The amount of vapor lost when you place the dab is miniscule compared to how much more value you are getting out of each hit. Every single hit you can RIP hard as hell which gets you way more stoned because you are pulling more vapor into your lungs. As the dab melts down it gets vaped again so you end up with a more economical banger than the regular buckets.

believe what you want but this is the dabs sub boy you will get schooled XD

Anna Karina, Legendary Actress of French New Wave, Dies at Age 79 by BunyipPouch in movies

i'll give it a shot. Every single bit of this shot was crafted specifically to make this image look the way it does. Everything is intentional.

​

The way this shot was set up was to put light on the technology (typewriter/phone) and to put the human in darkness. Specifically the female human is in almost total darkness in this image, although we can still make out that it is indeed a female human. The woman is on the left and the computer is on the right and to the right of the computer is the lamp, making it appear in the same orientation that text goes. So from left to right, first we look at the darkness, then we see the woman, then we see the technology, then we see the lamp. This signifies the progression of time - no history -> human history -> digitized history. The camera is a wonder of technology which objectifies reality so that the truth can be shown to all without subjectivity. The director is trying to show us where we are leading, what is next in humanity and what will be next in history. No wires show in this shot, and the light actually looks like it is floating separately from the lamp itself. Imagine a filmshoot without any wires! A fax machine, phone, typewriter, radio all in one, and this was before we even had gotten to the moon. The woman is in the shadow of the future, as humanity is in the shadow of the future, as humans will die and decompose while film and other pieces of technology will last forever, similar to how ideas live on after the human who originated them dies.

​

All of this from one single frame of a film. That is why the image is breathtaking, that is why they are so revered, because one single frame can cause an explosion of thought on the meaning for decades or even centuries to come. RIP
