Iridescent clouds, looking like a rainbow in the clouds.
A diffraction phenomenon caused by small water droplets or small ice crystals individually scattering light. Larger ice crystals do not produce iridescence, but can cause halos, a different phenomenon.
As yet another fanfic writer deleted all of their writing in the last couple of weeks, I wonder how many people are aware that you can disassociate and orphan your fics on archiveofourown once you’ve decided to leave a particular fandom.
“Orphaning is a way to remove your connection to your works without taking them away from fandom altogether. We hope this account will be used by people who wish (for whatever reasons) to retire from fandom but are willing to allow their works to remain in the Archive. Works orphaned in this way will be maintained by the Archive to be enjoyed by future fans; existing bookmarks and links will not break. This function means that users can continue to share their contributions to fandom while having their privacy respected.”
petition to make Earth Wind & Fire the new September meme instead of mocking the Greenday guy for mourning his dad
Pros: Funky beats, a classic late ‘70s R&B soul jam, it perks me up when I’m depressed as fuck, and also you won’t be tweeting relentlessly “reminder to wake up” at a guy who wrote a song about his father’s death
Cons: for the rest of the year you’ll have “BAAAA DEEE YAAAA DEE YAAAA DEEE YAAAAAAAAA, BAAAAA DEEE YAAAA DEE YAAA DEE YAAAAAA” stuck in your head, which imo is a fair trade off
Ferrai has this bullshit agreement that if you buy one of their cars new off the lot, you have to sign a contract saying you basically don’t own the car and have to uphold their brand standards with it.
It’s sets a startling example of not owning something despite buying it and the court needs to use this as a chance to strike it down as unethical.
This shit again? And I thought it was bad enough with ford and john deer telling farmers they didn’t own the tractors they bought from them….
Yeah, they have this really unethical clause in the purchase contract you can’t modify the car or do anything with it that they’d consider “unbecoming of the brand”, which is why they were able file this suit.
It seems kind of bizarre at first until you realize how horrifying that is in the age of “do you own what you buy?” being a huge a debate (especially in tech).
This is pretty much Ferrari’s philosophy from the start, they are extremely prideful of their cars like if they were made from God’s hands or something.
They are very snobby, infact the owner of Ferrari doesn’t like the people who buy their cars since because they are bought for “status”.
They also never test their cars on public tracks in comparison with other racing cars like when they wanted to test out the Porche 918 Spyder vs The McLaren P1 vs LaFerrari. Take a guess who bailed out on the performance test.
Just an update
Lambo are the perfect people to jump in on this because they make insane cars and they are never above clowning them up because Lambo are all about THE DRAMA ™
My dad is an automotive journalist (or was, he just retired) and that story is one of his favorites. If it’s not true, it is basically so enshrined in automobile industry legend that it might as well be fact.
She was also the first female black pro road racer
I knew this shit was fishy from the start, something didn’t feel right about the Deadpool team’s response and how they described her profession. Sacrificed her literally for some shit-ass movie.
fun fact: there is a goddess of friendship in ancient greece named philotes
extra fun fact: she is a daughter of nyx, whose other children are such lovely people as thanatos (god of death), momus (god of mockery), oizys (goddess of misery and depression), nemesis (goddess of retribution), apate (goddess of deceit), and eris (goddess of strife)
