In the Netherlands Fat Bikes are not those mountain bikes with fat tires, they are just electric motorcycles disguised as a bicycle because it has barely functioning pedals. Kids are a menace on those bikes, they go way too fast. Not to mention Dutch kids are getting fatter and unhealthier because they barely exercise and putting kids on motorized vehicles instead of bicycles doesn't help.

Meanwhile Nintendo provides lifetime employment. It's why they can pass down institutional knowledge to the next gen of employees. Hence why every entry in series like Mario and Zelda are almost consistently great.

It’s the death of channels like MTV and the emergence of the internet that specific subcultures are not defining the decades anymore. Subcultures still exist they just aren’t shown on mass media anymore since people live in their own bubble on the internet.

And if you think about it the reason why certain styles defined the decades of post war 20th century was capitalism. Certain sub cultures reached mainstream status because marketeers pushed it to the masses to make money. Like grunge or gangsta rap wouldn’t have reached the suburban teens if business men weren’t pushing it on mass media.

Used clamp to edge. How would you get a small cylinder (5.1in length, ~4.5in girth) unstuck from a clamp?

In Dutch they are called “rode ui” literally red onion. It’s not just English. In Japanese and Hindi they are also called red onions.

Also in Japanese they didn’t had a separate word for green for a very long time. Green was just a shade of blue. It’s why a lot of things like fruits and vegetables have blue in the name like 青豆 aomame literally blue bean or 青林檎 aoringo literally blue apple. Or why they call the green light on traffic lights blue.

Laura Fryer just gives fuel to the gamer gate fire. Most of her stuff is just conjecture and speculation. She hasn’t been in the industry for a decade.
