A Forum Was a Place. The Feed Is a Slot Machine
TL;DR: Old forums gave communities rooms, memory, local rules, and a recognizable crowd. Social feeds gave every post a chance to reach the world, then made the world the worst possible roommate.

this is such a misguided investment i can't even see straight. they're trying to put a gold top on the pyramid when the base is crumbling like old concrete.
you can't amplify your value via synergy if all of your recognizable brands are in the tank! you have to get them out of the tank first!

Given the pyrean obsession with stars, they almost certainly have constellation signs associated with their namingday/clanschoosing, though none of them would be recognizable from Earth.
Sven's constellation would be some sort of weasel. Alan's is a winged serpent.

Actually had two more in the past two weeks so apparently I am recognizable but only my band name is memorable.
Dammit shoulda named myself Annie then people could just interchange the names and it'd barely matter

Two different people in public in the past week have recognized me by my stage name.
It's wild, I didn't think I was that, um, widely listened to.

But I think he was important in the way Jericho was important, a recognizable WWE guy to anchor the brand while casual audiences get familiarized with The Elite & everyone else. I wouldn't really change a thing.

I only just saw this one and I love that the scythe is recognizable as an American pattern, which is my preferred style. I'm a historian, collector, designer, and instructor in the scythe world and specialize in the American pattern, although I collect and use all global types!

You can't rename something and expect people to immediately change their vocabulary (e.g. the Sears Tower), especially for locations and common recognizable terms like "artificial intelligence." For the president to declare anyone who doesn't go along "THE ENEMY!" is deranged, "joke" or not.

(to be earnest for a sec, and all word-y, I think it better centers the tool, in that (i) the models don’t hold to recognizable forms of organic life, but DO have recognizable forms of intelligence, and (ii) these aren’t foreign creations to the earth, they’re exquisite creations of human minds

It reads to me as the usual for sustained Tumblr anecdotes: definitely not literally true in a documentary manner, but I'd be very surprised if it were fabricated. Most likely a not-unreasonable exaggeration of recognizable events.

Her expression there, and in the Nobel photo, are characteristic of Parkinson’s. As the disease advances facial expressions become limited and take on a recognizable look. I was about to be shocked she was diagnosed only two years ago, but I see that’s when she published an essay about its impacts.
