The directors cut is an entirely different and much, much better film.

Kingdom of Heaven is the archetype of this for me. Director’s cut is an entirely different, and wildly better, film.

Nevertheless, nailed it in one.

Guaranteed you don’t actually give a fuck about black folks.

Of fucking course she does. Guarantee she’s had an abortion or two, to boot.

GQP - rules for thee, none for me.

But, you see, it is upside down and your feelings on that don’t matter one whit.

There is no opinion involved. Conventions are conventional for a reason, and this is an absolute.

Do people wear tattoos upside down? Yes.

Does it mean they’re wrong? Not necessarily.

Does it mean they aren’t upside down? No.

A tattoo like this is absolutely considered upside down.

For you or not, it’s still upside down.

Upside down alone, maybe a reputable shop will let that go, but misspelled? Nah.

Whoop WHOOP!

Even if the customer insists, a legit studio would refuse to do this tattoo.

Upside down and misspelled?

No, it is not a legit anything with two obvious and easily avoided mistakes on a simple tattoo.

I watched it in real time, too. Your analysis is wrong.

The guy was calling out telemetry in real time, “major malfunction” in that context is not just defensible but desired.

These are engineers and technical people confronted with a technical problem in real time. They need accurate, not emotional or pr-based language to work the problem.

It wasn’t this guy’s place nor function to encapsulate the entire situation while doing his job in the moment.

You can criticize NASA plenty, and at your pleasure, but this is a dumb one to pick.

Pretty accurate, but not in a linear way, nor an all-encompassing one.

My own experience is that it helps give name to various difficult paths and feelings that one must deal with when losing someone close.

Another observation would be that it was and continues to be one of the only socially acceptable and widespread ways to talk about grief and loss, at least in western culture.
