I and some colleagues were talking about how we wish everyone could see the safety videos that our company was showing us, because I donāt think most people understand how traffic works in a truck. So hereās some things we wish everyone on the road knew.
- weāre not kidding about tailgating. If youāre right behind us on a straight highway? Chances are we have NO IDEA youāre there, which means we canāt anticipate any of your movements. Plus slowing down takes multiple downshifts, so we might start decreasing speed way earlier than you expect.
- Weāre not kidding about any of our blind spots. WE CANāT SEE YOU, GUYS.
- That bit about slowing down taking a while? The same goes for when youāre in front of us. Donāt cut off a truck. Oh god, PLEASE donāt cut off a truck. If you cut me off, Iām not irritated, Iām terrified. For YOU. It can take 7 to 9 seconds for us to stop. DONāT CUT OFF TRUCKS.
- Before you get mad about how slow weāre going on the highway, keep in mind that many companies govern their vehicles so they literally CANāT go over 60 or 65. This is a good thing, I promise. Becauseā¦
- Do you know what happens when a car meets a truck in an accident? The car gets totaled and the truck needs a new coat of paint. You will not win this fight. I know nobody likes getting stuck behind a big dumb truck, but itās not worth your life.
We are trying our best to protect you from our 80,000 pound death machines. Please help us out.
i really love our generationās joke trend of like, very calm but incredibly inflated hyperbole. like nobody saysĀ āoh sheās prettyā anymore we sayĀ āi would willingly let her murder meā and everyone is just likeĀ ālol sameā
i thinkĀ āsameā is also great andĀ āme,ā i love when somebody reblogs a picture of like, a lizard, and just saysĀ āmeā and we all know exactly what they mean. the current online Humor Discourse is remarkable because we trade exclusively in metaphors and implications and nobody ever, ever says anything outright and yet EVERYBODY understands each other perfectly
The pain ended quickly. I rose and tried to find my body. Probably lying mangled underneath the metallic wreck. Dying in a road accident is definitely the worse way to go.
āSo! Had a nice life?ā asked a voice behind me.
The flame is followed by the void
a father by a son
children become adults
before they realize
the following is done
The flame makes the void
blood notwithstanding
You made this son
and like a child, this adult
Wants you to love
who he has become
The flame and the void (e.r.)
My UAF secret santa for @ladypoetess who asked for āfluffy family time with Rand and Tamā (Iām not good at fluffy, but I gave it my best attempt)
We all want a Wheel of Time TV show like Game of Thrones however we all know that this is not happening for the simple reason that it will be way way too expensive and no network will go for it. However do you know what will be both affordable and great to see on TV. A live action WoT TV show based on New Spring and centered around Moiraine and Lan
This works on many levels.
First we can introduce both the One Power and the history of this world through the POV of Moiraine and Suian. We can have themĀ teaching Novice classes and discussing which Ajah they want to join. This will be both affordable to the CGI budget and ease the audience into the universe
Through Lan we can get both stereotypical sword packed action of the fantasy genre and introduce the basics of other countries in this world and the Aiel.
I think we can fit the entireĀ New Spring in 13 episodes and make it a strong first season.
The second season can be an original one. Something to raise even more interest and solidify the audience before we go into the main books. We can set it several years later and see a now more powerful and knowledgeable Moiraine and an even more badass Lan. We can track her first meeting with the Green Man which can serve to introduce the Blight and Shienar. We can have Moiraine and Lan going to Andor and meeting Morgaese and having Moiraine meet her baby niece Elayne(we can do this while Thom is away trying to help his nephew)
We can introduce Ishmael and the Black Ajah in the background as we see the Shadow rising and beginning to spread the message about the Eye of the World which would allow us to introduce Stedding Shangtai and Loial.Ā . We can see Elyas discovering the wolves and running away(perhaps after one last spar with Lan) An after some nice big battle at the end of the season where Moiraine and LanĀ we can have a prologue set one year before the main. With Moiraine meeting Min whoās vision will give her the final clue to where the Dragon is.
And third season will be the Eye of the World. Now I know that a lot of fans wonāt like the idea of an original second season but I think it will be essential for preparing the mainstream audience(who will most definitely not be book fans) for the main books. This will keep them from getting overwhelmed with too many new characters and places and two successful seasons will make sure that the network would be willing to invest more money for what will certainly be much more expensive new seasons as we get into the main books
So yeah. This is my plan on how we can sneak Wheel of Time on TV and make it successful.
