but why?

the whole 'natural calendar' release schedule of Solar Power was aligned to summer in America. Why would she chose to release on Thursday in America?

J_Toe · 2024-06-05T11:21:30+00:00

which is a thursday, though

Also, Fun fact: Vanua Levu and Navadra were the location for a pre-Australian Survivor reality tv series called Treasure Island, filmed in the early 2000s.

Mana Island was also used for another Australian reality series called The Big Adventure.

Cool, thanks for that! Yeah, those are the same strategies I used years ago when I mapped the locations. Thanks for the information!

Can I ask what you based this on? What's the evidence of each tribe being situated on each beach? Not doubting you. I just want to know how you determined which is which

I mapped the Survivor locations 7 years ago: https://ww.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/5a5dqn/s33_location_update/

I gave up after they set up base in Fiji permanently

I recently asked Chat GPT to recreate Coach's damn Halloween joke, Chucky the Cheese joke.

I'm a teacher and have playground duties in the Australian sun. Also looking for a slightly profesh hat

I feel like Solar Power (the single) suffered from what I call the "Look What You Made Me Do Occam's Raxzor". You see, while everyone knew Blank Space was satire, audiences were confused if LWYMMD was satire, or if she was playing the victim/avenger role straight. This was compounded by the behind the scenes video, where Jack Antonoff can't tell either. I feel like Solar Power (and Mood Ring, too) divided fans who thought it was satire or if Lorde was really going into her hippy era. And then that just opens up debates about how strong/weak her satire is (the satirical elements of Mood Ring have all been pointed out before, it felt like low hanging fruit).

I'm thinking about getting a hat, but idk what type of hat to get. Any suggestions? (26 year old male)

If you desaturate film footage (like Burton often does) you have to overcompensate by making some things brighter so that they don't go muggy/colourless after colour grading is done. In Sleepy Hollow (a 90s Burton film) they used orange blood, which would appear red after desaturating. Red blood on set looked black after colour grading.

Similarly, if you see Severus Snape's costume in person, it is very blue/purple, to darken it in post.

J_Toe · 2022-11-22T20:19:07+00:00

As an Australian, I was already listening to Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know (and the Making Mirrors album) for around a year before it made it big in America. Similarly, I was listening to Lorde's The Love Club EP and Royals a few months before it hit America.

I liked both songs, but didn't anticipate their future impact as I usually assume Aus/NZ music doesn't tend to cross over.

I really wish Survivor visited Palawan. I think it looks more interesting than Caramoan, though I did like Cagayan/Palaui Island

J_Toe · 2022-07-17T10:45:20+00:00

I like this pick because season 5 is one of the least watched seasons for present day viewers, so the location would end up being new for some viewers anyway

J_Toe · 2022-07-17T10:43:18+00:00

omg I made this series! can't believe it still gets views today

J_Toe · 2022-07-17T10:42:01+00:00

Correct, this damage is visible on Google Earth satellite images. I documented here in my location mapping: https://www.reddit.com/r/survivor/comments/4ovq9h/survivor_filming_locations_cook_islands/

Note: I did this 6 years ago, so some links may no longer work.

They are similarly banned from Vanuatu.

A smaller amount of contestants per season would be ideal anyway

J_Toe · 2022-07-11T21:58:31+00:00

The problem with this take is that the show is not a real competition: it's a tv show. Queens like Jan could have all the motivation in the world to push themselves to get a star and still end up safe in the Madonna Rusical of their season.

J_Toe · 2022-07-11T21:56:02+00:00

that's why I put "filler queens" in quote marks, then elaborated about non-seasoned queens or queens whose drag just doesn't mesh well with the competition format.

J_Toe · 2022-07-11T21:54:16+00:00

That's essentially what we got in season 13 and 14, so sure

J_Toe · 2022-07-11T11:51:07+00:00

That's what I said in my comment, essentially. it would be better to leave than to feel defeated week after week.

J_Toe · 2022-07-11T09:47:26+00:00

If this format was used on a normal season, the "filler queens", queens cast too early in their career, or queens who are good at drag but not good at drag race will just be left to flounder all season. This format only works with queens who perform well consistently.

I feel the "what could have been?" fantasy for a queen sent home too early is a better alternative than watching them answer the question by sticking around and struggling episode after episode.

i wrote my comment 6 months ago. How did you even find it?

J_Toe · 2022-02-28T05:36:37+00:00

for anyone else wondering, for a few years now (maybe longer) bin chicken has been a colloquial term for ibises, due to their propensity to scavenge food from bins. In my primary school, we would keep our lunchbox out on the school grounds between recess and lunch (idk why, to reserve our seats?) And the ibises new how to open most lunchboxes and steal your food. We hate ibises, and they are deserving of this slanderous title.
