Joke's on you. My kink is trying to find the whale vagina in a blurry, distant, confusing photo.
First author on that paper is Bruce Mate!
Balls the size of cars and zero-gravity antics, I hope a breakaway faction of ex-Disney animators is putting a storyboard together.
3 that's the kind of thing only Studio Ghibli can really pull off.
I'm sorry, I really love Ponyo and now I feel gross.
If it makes you feel better, I don't understand the joke anyway.
Not to be a grouch, but I actually unfollowed Taber because I started to get the feeling that I was reading a lot of ideologized just-so stories, then I got a pretty definitive confirmation, and it put me off her for good.
I'm not going to track down the relevant threads, but to summarize: she wrote a whole thing about how the South could have a thriving treenut industry similar to, or even superior to, CA's almonds, and without the negative water impacts, but they're just too stupid/racist/patriarchal to do it, while CA farmers are the only smart ones in America*. And then someone from the relevant region tore her argument to shreds: pecans aren't remotely as nutritious as almonds (this was the very start of her premise--that they're as good or better nutritionally), the trees aren't amenable to plantation growth, etc etc. Not one bit of her argument held up. And of course she didn't respond, which was really the last straw for me: she had her loyal followers who wanted to hear what she had to say, and she didn't have to worry that (m)any of them would unfollow just because she was bullshitting them.
*except for whatever that Amish-like sect is that lives along the US/Can border. She always says good things about them
8: Yeah, I unfollowed a while ago. AIMHMHB I once pressed her on "so what kind of policy reforms do we need?" and she turned it back around to individual business-level efforts- essentially "people should hire me as a consultant." And she seems to be increasingly focusing on artisanally hand-stretched Hot Takes, like whether Southerners are fundamentally more racist.
Also her podcast wasn't very good - I recall her spending a lot of time talking at the interviewees about her own normal topics rather than drawing stuff out from them.
2: Your name's Bruce, mate! That's not going to cause a bit of confusion.
Is the OP an effort to revive the Unfogged tradition of cock jokes? If so I will slide right in to second it.
12: it was, but it seems that we're no longer able to keep it up.
idk, I'm more concerned that the performance is stiff and wooden...
I would have said something here, but the right whale was too oblique for me.
In France in the late nineties, the derogatory graffiti joke was to make a word balloon "La baleine" on any ad in which a pretty model looked surprised-- so big, it's a whale. (12/13 memory becomes a substitute for actual interest, if literary depictions can be trusted)
8/9 Agreed that she's far from 100%, best when she links to/describes something objective.
