Wait.

Zooms in.

(I have a meme problem)
The "there is a second plane" meme of the aide telling George W Bush in the school classroom but the meme text says "there is a second orb"

This was the original poster.

I THINK it was official? Maybe?

It's weird because that's The Matrix font 🤔
The original John Wick poster, as described above, with the Matrix font spelling "John Wick" My bad, the subtitle says "don't set him off"

I had to
A custom John Wick poster someone made (apologies, I lost the attribution) that uses the "Matrix" font to spell JOHN WICK, with the "o" being the barrel of what appears to be maybe a Baretta 9mm pistol aimed directly at the camera. The last name "Wick" has been replaced with "UI/UX" in the same Matrix font. The "don't mess with him" subtitle ahs been replaced to say "DESIGN IS HIS PASSION"

The Pondering My Orb old wizard in a robe illustration but instead of pondering his blue orb, Hazel's ball thingy (dark brown/black with gold spots) is in its place on the table.

I have made this helpful chart
The Now KISS meme but it's a dog with Spidomans/Kim Hu over their head using both paws to push two identical dog figurines (that look like the dog) together with "Black Ant" and "TASKY" name plates over them. NOW KISS appears in giant text in the middle of the screen.

Yes. I absolutely am.
A reply post (truncated to only show the reply mid-typing) with 28 "thinking" emojis. At the bottom, a pop-up window has appeared asking "Are you writing in Korean?" And there is only one button that says "Yes"

I am not allowing myself any more practice swords 😅

(One of these isn't mine (the Belgian pistol grip foil))

Next one I buy is folded Japanese steel or a Damascus rapier
A collection of five fencing weapons and two training iaido cherry oak swords: A French grip practice epee, a Belgian foul, a Visconti foil, a Visconti electric epee, a practice saber, a naked cherry oak practice iaido and a padded one.

Gotta say, synthetic oil sure has come a long way. 5 months or...

TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES???

🤣 JFC 🤦
My odometer showing 67,786 miles The oil change sticker for the next oil change, showing a return date of 4/16 2026 (five months from today) or return miles of 92,676 miles (25,000 miles more than my odometer)

AHA. It's all ad farming. No different than a mobile game. So kids whose parents won't shell out for Nitro can watch two ads every 3 days and pay for Nitro.

That's the entire play 😮‍💨

They could have just said "watch ads, earn Nitro" it would have been so much faster and WAY more honest/less skeevy🤷

Discord is now offering "ORBS" on mobile and has a "learn more about ORBS" intro quest which is a video which does absolutely nothing to explain WHY you'd want ORBS it's literally just mindless engagement 🤦

Just 100% Skinner Box
A still from the video that says EARN ORBS Another still from the same pointless video which says WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME A screenshot crop of the Discord orbs shop which shows a 3 day Nitro Credit is 1400 orbs or about 10 of these intro videos. The intro video was worth 150 credits and is like anchored at 2x the going rate for orb rewards to hook you into thinking it's worth your time to be engagement farmed like this

the most hilarious part about that meme is it's not even ALL of Jeffrey Combs Star Trek rolls 😅

Also Jeffrey Combs 👇

Had to google to see what was going on, and...

...are you fucking KIDDING me, Yahoo???
An article about Dana Terrace urging fans to unsubscribe from Disney+ and pirate her show because Iger mentioned an ai generated content slop machine. There is a cropped image of the Owl House cast at the top. Inbetween is a drop down for "Generate Key Takeaways" with one of the stupid ai logos next to it.

Mazda 3 Ball shifter, now with a more permanent lock nut and vinyl washer installation. It fits like a GLOVE. This feels like it was factory installed 🤌

DamnItFeelsGoodToBeAGangster.mp3

SO GOOD.
The 3 Ball as shifter knob installed and in Drive, basking in daylight. A low and front view of the 3 ball installation while gear is in park, showing the locking nut under the ball. The nut has a nylon gasket in it that bites the threads, so you put both on as low as thy will go, then work the nut back UP into the bottom of the ball (with a nylon washer in between as a cushion) which allows you to position the "3" so it faces the correct direction, then compress the nut into the ball which locks the ball's rotation on the threaded post in place so it can't turn anymore.

I could hear the levels peaking in my head and this is what leapt directly into it (more because mic position and his expression than original meaning of meme) so apologies but now you have to see it too
The "WOULD" meme of the Japanese senate guy desperately pulling the mic to his face to say some truth bombs while being absolutely mob tackled by FIFTEEN other Japanese government guys in suits and one Japanese woman. Meme text just says: HAZEL

RIGHT???

I wanted a Speed3 but my kids need to use it and don't know how to drive stick, and look, learning on a 300hp stick is probs a bad idea anyway, so I’m slowly converting this into an automatic Speed 3 😂

Next is the turbo kit once winter is over; trying to find a Speed3 hood for forced air
The same Mazda 3 model year as mine in red, but featuring the giant hood scoop of the Mazda Speed3 for the forced cold air intake. The air filter is flat and sits on top of the engine pressed directly against the hood scoop from underneath.

"Why do you guys call her Jester?"

[Meanwhile, Jester]:
An extreme close-up on Jester's gremlin grin, literally macking for the camera. Eyes are wide, teeth somehow exposed in a gritted "dog grin". Completely unhinged gremlin dog face.

The Red Mazda3 Hot Hatch is now officially 33% more fun to drive. Also 33% sexier, somehow.
A view of the 3ball shifter with better lighting in the Park position. The same 3ball shifter in the Automatic Drive position. Left would be manual tiptronic.
