If you think the Klingon flag is problematic... hooo boy Zeon just takes that cake and scribbles a suspicious mustache on it while raising one arm at a problematic angle.
(And yes, it's totally on purpose, doesn't make it any easier to stomach.)
I hate that people in charge were never able to properly communicate this subtle difference.
It was communicated just fine. I got that info. You got that info. It was out there. But the signal to noise ratio was unreal. People seem to prefer soundbites and false dichotomies over accurate, nuanced information. Sprinkle in a metric shitton of wedge issue misinformation delivered via sledgehammer and you get what we got:
VACCINE BAD!
VACCINE GOOD!
GRANDPA HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL DIE!
VACCINE STILL GOOD!
I HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL GET SICK AND BOSS MAKE ME STAY HOME AND NO GET MONEY! VACCINE BAD!
Somewhat. It was nowhere to be found for quite awhile, and I figured it was lost to time. Then a few years ago my fiancé finally got into Nightwish so I did a search and there it was. Multiple versions are still up, so I'm hoping it stays that way.
Many moons ago, I was in an IRC room when power metal came up. Someone started talking about Elvenpath, so I went and looked up the band. "Huh, this is pretty good." So the first three albums went into my rotation. Then a few years later I saw a music video someone put together using 10th Man Down and footage from 08th MS Team and was freakin floored.
Edit: just posted the video over in !gundam@possumpat.io if anyone is interested
Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it's been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.
The year is After Colony 195. With high expectations, human beings leave Earth to begin a new life in space colonies. However, the United Earth Sphere Alliance gains great military powers, and soon seizes control of one colony after another in the name of Justice and Peace.
I spent a good 10 minutes searching for a better picture than the production sketch. To the point where I'm wondering if my memory of the T floating by at the end of CCA is imagined. 😅
Edit: nope, not imagined. Thanks, low-res YT video!
