None of the three women -- my favourite guy -- in the videos so far have been the actual singer, so it's both perfectly played and closer to Captain Jack than it might seem.

Every time I've tried a brand new car it's felt like a downgrade from my 20 year old shitbox so I'd just ask a mechanic to fix everything worn on said shitbox.

Could always get a hot hatch, they’re econoboxes that are fun to drive. By nature of sharing the economy platform they skip all kinds of techno-bullshit.

This may not apply to VWs though, as if that needed to be said

True, I get that the driving experience can be better on something more analog. And I agree that stupid tech makes it impossible to repair some things on your own.

But that's not even what the OP said. Virtually everything else -- safety, gas mileage, acceleration, materials, comfort -- is better in a typical new car today vs a shitbox from 20 years ago. Late 90s and early 00s were a rough time for cars, so calling modern cars a downgrade is... I guess it's not impossible, but it is hard to believe.

If they weren’t looking out of the window to avoid their child why would they look at an LCD screen?

It's easier to look forward than to crane around and look back. The camera gives you a larger FOV, especially below the sight line of the window opening and the rear of the car. You know, where a short kid might be.

I get that you like what you like, but you're also being deliberately obtuse.

I like that "the kids" periodically rediscover these classics, it sometimes leads to some nice remixes. This progressive remix of Rhythm of the Night has been pretty popular lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wg4wNyDbXcc

This one's different in both source material and execution but I dig it:

My dad hated the Rose Garden name because "Portland already has a place called the Rose Garden".

Technically the other one is the International Rose Test Garden, though, so I don't understand what he was complaining about.

Well you can call it the Moda Center, or Rose Quarter, or Moda Center at the Rose Quarter, but you don't hafta call it The Rose Garden!

e: Designing the marketing campaign when only an early draft of a book is available is pretty standard in publishing.

That's absurd too, imo.

Granted, I've only made three videos, they're all about making silly things that make me happy, and I have zero desire to make it into a living. But if I had to come up with a thumbnail before making the object in question... I might just walk into the woods and never return.
