3/16/2024 0 Comments You are my buddy chucky songMattel’s She-Ra line, an action figure spin-off of He-Man targeted toward girls, failed to take off. Despite Hasbro’s hopes, My Buddy failed to signal a breakdown in gender-specific toys. My Buddy, with his largely pacifistic persona, invited no such confrontations. The doll market for boys was mostly relegated to Wrestling Buddies, a line of WWE-themed stuffed companions that encouraged boys to drop elbows and grapple them to the floor. My Buddy and his various offshoots-there was a Kid Sister-hung on for a few years before disappearing from shelves. With his big, goggling eyes, he is half winsome, half bruiser.” Hillier went on to express doubt that a boy would find the prospect of dressing the doll in his own retired baby clothes enticing. Los Angeles Times columnist Bevis Hillier called My Buddy “an unprepossessing creature who also has overalls and freckles but has managed to get his cap on the right way round. If boys did not find fault with playing with dolls, some adults did, expressing puzzlement that My Buddy would hold appeal for the blood-and-guts dominion of the boys toys market. Joe, My Little Pony, and My Buddy, which ranked eighth on the list. While Cabbage Patch Kids remained a goliath, Hasbro had four of the top 10 bestselling toys on the market: Transformers, G.I. Hasbro’s intent was easily discerned through ad copy: “A little boy’s special friend! Rough and tough, yet soft and cuddly.”Īmid a competitive toy year, the $25 My Buddy fared well in 1985. He was simply there to accompany his human on adventures. Unlike other toys with complex personal narratives, My Buddy possessed no agency. We didn’t position it like a girl doll, soft and sweet.”Įxcited by the potential, Hasbro backed My Buddy with an effective ad campaign led by an infectious song: We show them climbing up trees, riding their bikes. “My Buddy is positioned as macho,” Hasbro's senior vice president of marketing Stephen Schwartz told The Boston Globe in 1985. Clad in durable overalls, My Buddy seemed designed for extended trips through dirty terrain. My Buddy was intended to be a companion for boys perceived as more active than girls, canvassing neighborhoods on Big Wheels, clutching My Buddy as they climbed into tree houses, and possibly making him an inadvertent object in a game of touch football. With My Buddy, Hasbro banked on the doll’s heft-at an imposing 23 inches, it was a fair bit larger than the Cabbage Patch line-to ensnare juvenile consumers. Though Joe would go on to inhabit smaller, molded plastic sculpts in the 1980s, the idea of boys playing with plush toys was still of interest. Joe, a line of 12-inch, fabric-outfit military figures intended to do for boys what Mattel’s Barbie had done for the female demographic. Hasbro reversed that trend in 1964 with the introduction of G.I. As time went on and manufacturers began focusing on dolls resembling infants, interest on the part of young male consumers began to trail off. The difference was that the dolls were often depicting adult men and women. As far back as the early 20th century, boys played with dolls regardless of whether the toys were marketed specifically toward them or not. The idea was not totally alien to the market. In marketing My Buddy, Hasbro hoped to pioneer a new toy category: a doll line for boys. The Cabbage Patch dolls were highly desirable among young girls boys gravitated toward the veiny, sword-wielding characters of the He-Man franchise. Then there was My Buddy, which seemed to straddle the gender lines the other major toy companies had drawn. Masters of the Universe was Mattel’s hit, with both the action figures and ancillary products doubling the take of the Cabbage people. Coleco’s Cabbage Patch Kids were a bona fide phenomenon, ringing up $540 million in sales the year prior. In 1985, toy stores were stocked to the brim with some of the most indelible properties of the decade. That was the case for My Buddy, an oversized doll first introduced by Hasbro in 1985 that failed to make waves on store shelves but informed the creation of the carrot-topped spree killer doll Chucky in writer Don Mancini and director Tom Holland’s 1988 film Child’s Play. If your toy company's boy-oriented doll doesn’t set the world on fire, you might take comfort in the fact it partially inspired a series of slasher movies.

Maybe it's less constrictive, and more comfortable. Perhaps I feel conifdent enough to wear something a tad too revealing. Speakin' as a lady who likes to show a little skin here and there, it's all about freedom. There can be many reasons for why girls are wearing skirts, but personally I can't relate that much since, as I said, I feel better wearing pants, so whatever. I said ".and so on", meaning that these were just examples. Not like I could do anything in a case like that. If I was the only human being on the planet, I probably wouldn't care about anything at all. I mean think about it this way if you were the only human being on the planet, would you care about feeling cute? I often look at girls wearing skirts and think "Wow, I'm jealous" though.īut that's the thing feeling cute and wanting attention are the same thing we want to feel attractive, to appear more accepted. But I don't feel like I have legs that are worth showing or looking at anyway, lol. Personally, I don't feel comfortable wearing skirts, so I always stick to pants. It's just not possible to generalize that. And of course, not all girls are angry when you look at their legs, I'm pretty sure lots of them feel flattered. Some might wear them because they want to feel cute, some might want to get attention and so on. It's definitely different for every girl. These people should be kicked out of the community for wanting these things cause they are not real weebs. Girls there still value a guy who is good.Īnd yet so many disgusting, self loathing anime fans on this board shit on Japan and want to spread the feminist disease there. And Japan is basically a country that never really left the 1950s. Women values kindness in a guy back then, S&M and hookup culture wasn’t normalized. This is why I always tell people we have to go back to the 1950s because back then, these things were not anywhere near as bad. Those kind of girls never get shit on though. I resent the stereotype that most guys are fuckboys because back in college, lots of girls treated me exactly like a stereotypical male fuckboy treats girls. I hate that no girls these days want to marry or have relationships anymore. Back in the 50s even Kinsey only managed to find 50% of women saying the same and that’s despite the fact that everyone, from people in his time period to modern researchers agree that Kinsey was intentionally exaggerating the prevalence of deviant behavior so it was probably actually a lot lower than that. It’s unbelievably sick and a sign of a seriously sick society that women are so into that now. 70% of women fantasize about having pain inflicted on them or being raped. You are basically not allowed to see it as immoral anymore. I hate that S&M fetishes have become so fucking normalized in today’s society. They complain about how terrible men are these days and yet I have seen so many guys in my life who wanted nothing more than to cherish and treat a girl right who were treated like shit by girls. I hate that people’s morality and them being a good person actually seems to hurt their dating chances these days. There are so many things I cannot stand about the modern world and especially about dating culture. I think you are absolutely right about that. Seriously, I think we live in a sick world full of sick people Thats why I never understand girls and women thesedays. I agree and feel the same way to most of what you said. What they want is what everyone else wants. That's why it seems like women never know what they want. Women like to make each other feel jealous and hate to feel jealous themselves. And also if they feel that a guy will elevate their own social status they will be attracted to him. They want to date a guy that will put them through their various emotions. Most men hate drama and women love drama. But if you go too far with it then she could start to use it against you and become more controlling or want to find another guy. It seems that if a girl really likes you then giving her the attention that she wants helps you more in your relationship. I used to compliment whoever I was dating a lot before I got too hurt and damage from all of the cheating in the past. In my relationship I often ignore my girl's sexiness and I often withhold compliments. On the flip side if they don't get the attention that they are looking for from the right type of people that they are looking for they will get insecure. You are only gassing their ego up further. Don't go liking all of their pics on social media. Best thing to do now as a guy is to not look their way when you see a hot girl. These days women dress up for attention and then bitch about it when they get the attention that they were looking for. 3/16/2024 0 Comments Charles higgins india inkWhile the cemetery still welcomes all visitors, it is home to over 560,000 permanent residents. By 1860, more than 500,000 people were visiting the cemetery every year. Both Central and Prospect Park were yet to be constructed and few of our now iconic cultural institutions existed, so Green-Wood Cemetery became a popular escape from the already crowded New York City (Brooklyn was still its own independent city at the time). The creators were said to have been inspired by the inviting greenery of Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris and the Magnificent Seven cemeteries in London. So the opening of Green-Wood, one of America’s first “rural” cemeteries, in 1838 was a bit of a spectacle. When Green-Wood Cemetery first opened, most people didn’t think of cemeteries the way we do today because people were typically buried in local churchyards. The Minerva Statue in Green-Wood Cemetery He made his fortune with Higgins India Ink, which you can still buy today. Minerva was originally meant to gaze toward the Woolworth Building, a symbol of American commerce and prosperity as Charles Higgins, who funded the statue was a businessman himself. A monument to the battle, a statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of war, was later erected on the hill and stares toward the Statue of Liberty and he statues’ views of one another are protected from development in perpetuity. The deadliest fighting of the battle took place on a 220-foot-tall bluff (the highest natural point in the borough) that would take the name Battle Hill in memory of the fighting. The area was host to the 1776 Battle of Brooklyn, the largest battle of the American Revolution. The land that became the cemetery was selected for its rolling hills and ponds, created by the movements of Ice Age glaciers across Long Island. and to sleep with his fathers in Green-Wood,” an article in The New York Times said in 1866. “It is the ambition of the New Yorker to live upon the Fifth Avenue. This summer, we’ll dive into the history of our newest venues and we start with Green-Wood Cemetery, host to Opening Night, Damsel, New York Nonfiction and more to be announced soon. 3/16/2024 0 Comments Mr2 spyder fiberglass hardtop(I have build several aquariums out of both glass and Plexi from 5 gals to 450, and I own 4 sailboats (ok, 3 of them are 11 ft 1 is 30 ft) and do repairs for other owners at the marina as a side job. They will generally be less expensive if you buy them already here in the states, but have cash ready. (again, this is the way most sailboat windows are installed, plexi/lexan to fiberglass hull, some form of sealant, I like Butyl, and then some kind of securing fastener, bolts are better, but I've seen screws) I put ads out in every social media MR2 spyder outlet and got a bite the first day. So yes, plastic window to plastic hard top, I would definitely recommend the bolts!!! Anything you put between the two is just sealant, not a trustworthy glue. Now, there are probably many different grades of Butyl, and the stuff I use is probably NOT suited for window installation, so please to some research on your own. You can get it in a tape form at a camper supply (I use it to seal any and all through deck fittings on Sailboats). Butyl is what the industry uses, and it's not that expensive. However, even if the rear window was glass I would still not recommend using Silicone, as it's adherence to the composite hard top is questionable. I only use Silicone to fix plastic to glass if it is not structural. More Pictures of my car with the top can be found at Group A Toyota MR2 Spyder Hardtop | Group A MotoringīTW, as an aquarium hobbiest/builder while Silicone has tenacious adhering ability to glass, it's "stick" to plastics (plexi/lexan.) is less than 50% of that to glass, and even then it's hit and miss. Overall, great fit, very light, and relatively inexpensive. The company is based in California, so if you live in NY, it will take a lot longer to arrive. One of the only complications I see is that they can only ship it to a commercial address, so be wary of that. They are made to order and take quite a while to ship. It will reek of resin on the inside of your cabin for while, just FYI. Seals are included, but the OEM ones off your soft top will fit perfectly so use those. Not for the faint of heart, drilling and measuring is required for that step. A preshaped lexan rear window is provided, you supply your own bolts and caulking to adhere it. Also, it costs LESS than OEM! The construction and finish is fantastic, and I had no fitment issues whatsoever. There is a fiberglass option as well, but I opted for the cf for the looks and weight savings. As the title suggests, I wanted to make a quick review of the GrA cf top. 3/15/2024 0 Comments Cost accounting cogsThere are three types of overhead: fixed costs, variable costs, or semi-variable costs. Fixed, variable, and semi-variable overhead Theoretically, if the company didn’t have any projects in the works, they could let her go and not incur the expense. For example, a construction company might have a manager that oversees all of the projects the company is currently working on. Overhead expenses relate directly to the product or service the business produces, but not to one specific project. The business has to pay these indirect costs even if they aren’t currently working on any projects. For example, the business might have general liability insurance, a business license, HR employees, office supplies, accounting and legal fees, bank fees, etc. G&A (general and administrative) expenses are expenses that apply to the whole company, and don’t necessarily have anything to do with essential business activity-the product or service the business creates. In other words, overhead is a type of operating expense. Operating expenses is a broad category, encompassing everything you spend in the course of running your business. While overhead covers everything required to stay in business, operating expenses includes both overhead and COGS/COS. When it comes to categorizing the ways you spend money, there’s an important distinction between overhead and operating expenses. These costs are not directly related to the way your bakery makes money, but they do keep your business running. However, rent for the bakery, business insurance, the cost of hiring an accountant, assorter administrative costs-all of these are overhead. Both these expenses are directly related to your business-you incur them in the process of making money. When you pay insurance for your bakery’s delivery van, that’s COS. When you buy ingredients for the croissants at your bakery, that expense is included in COGS. These expenses are called COGS (cost of goods sold) and COS (cost of services), respectively. However, that doesn’t include what you spend to produce goods or provide services, typically on raw materials and direct labor. Overhead is what you pay to keep your business in business. When you track and categorize your overhead, you can plan around expenses, get an accurate picture of your profit margin, and find new ways to save your business money.

PD: I saw your channel and your content has be really useful! For once I’m happy about a Roblox Studio developer. Perhaps I could make certain abilities check for part.Position instead? Would that make exploiters able to abuse it? How would I work around this? I plan on having certain abilities that can make the player go from one position to another really fast. Exploiters could fake the hit that way, right?Īntihack.GetPosition() wouldn’t work if my player teleports with an ability. How can I make a hitbox system for projectiles? I haven’t yet made the projectiles but I’m going to in a few days deeper in development so the method to handle the projectiles is not defined - you can tell me which would be best for this scenario (like using beizer curves / tweening)Īnd how could I validate that hitbox? Currently, if I do a distance check, it would have to be a huge distance. Take in mind this is for a class-based fighting game. I really liked your explanation and the video, but I’ve got some issues now: I’m not saying this is the best in any way, but thats how I typically do things. I mean theres a lot of ways you could go about it. 1 ill fire a remote to deal the damage, or ill damage client side and then fire a remote after damage has taken place checking the humanoids health to see if its equal to 0. A huge step forward in script execution, now available on Android & macOS. Get ahead of the game with our easy-to-use platform today. After that if the part is in range I either do 2 things. Hydrogen is a multi-platform Roblox script executor for macOS and Android allowing for limitless script execution. Make Silent Rotations an option for Killaura. An basically I use a spawn function and loop through the workspace to check for anything matching up with the magnitude then raycast the distance between the person and part thats supposed to be damaging. Added PathFinder & Scripting API (patreon only) Improved Inventor圜leaner, added Sort option. You cant use touched client side obviously so I use a combination of raycast and magnitude > I wouldn’t recommend region3 due to hitboxes always being super unreliable with specific detection. The way I track everything client side is > Client fires to server > server checks which request it is ( which is looking for the specific skill) > Server then fires to client > client sends information to a module and in the module I create the skills. |
