Love Mitch and Stephen - had never heard of James Acaster but took a chance based on your list and loved him :D thanks for the rec!

Wtf me too - the Lucas one plus all the spaces. I never even really use Spotify. Creepy.

Edit they are literally my only follower aside from one single friend I know irl.

It meeeeeeeeee :D

As others said, house centipede! Yours looks freaky AF, but generally when they aren’t… FLESHY ugh shudder, they are pretty cute little fuzzy guys! Like little dachshund/robot/Roomba/bug hybrids with a mission to patrol and keep the mean bugs away from you. Smol friend!

Guy my sister used to like apparently used to, as a VERY small child … maim/decapitate chicks. He has no memory of doing this but it freaked his mother out. I was told that he earnestly avowed “But I don’t do that ANY MORE!”

He ended up becoming a butcher, I’m dead serious. Apparently a really calm and protective and caring guy?

This is the kind of stuff that contributed to my decision to never have kids. Way too big of a risk 😬

I think it’s also partially about taking something that can be associated with … rednecks/middle America/conservatives I guess, and using it as a vehicle to try to reset people’s initial reactions against stuff that would be in their interest (unions for example). It doesn’t seem like it’s a concerted effort to actually reach that group, so right now it’s leftist memes for leftists but the potential for puncturing someone’s insular bubble Via familiar substrate for the message has interesting potential!

Pyramid Head and Darth Vader.

Now I’m a grey ace with a mission to befriend and protecc all the robo buddies.

I had my test in a big snowstorm as well. Because of this the evaluator abridged the test a bit. It was a very surreal experience, I had been prepared for all of the maneuvers and instead it was mostly backing up along the curb type things.

I don’t know that it was as bad as the conditions for the OP, but at least because these are new drivers and the chances are greater for bad outcomes in conditions they don’t have many hours of experience in … I would be inclined to have tests during inclement weather postponed.

You and that kernel were both panicking!
