You’ll have to pretend that’s Neelix because I don’t know how to Photoshop a GIF.
Fantastic. lol
Video editing is not something I’m equipped with the tools or skills to do, so I appreciate it all the more when other people can.
The best I can do is add a chyron and splice in some B-roll lol.
The fair, I did this in 2 minutes on my phone. Video editing isn’t too difficult once you have some knowledge and a giant stockpile of footage.
Yeah, the tools are where I lack knowledge. Mostly just ignorance on my part for having not kept up to date. That, and finding good ones that work well on Linux.
The last time I reallydid any kind of video editing was in college when I was minoring in broadcast journalism. When I think of editing a video, my mind immediately goes to firing up Final Cut Pro or popping my S-VHS tape in the linear video editing machine.
Ok, typing S-VHS just now made me feel like I’m a million years old 😆
I do all my edits on Linux. I really recommend Shotcut and Kdenlive. If you are lucky, Davinci Resolve compile and run for you (it won’t for me because it is super picky about hardware).
Because it’s so people won’t be confused with tuna piano.
I’ll see myself out. 🏃♂️💨
You can tuna piano but you can’t piano a tuna.
…i mean, you can piano tuna, but the tuna probably won’t appreciate it unless it’s a former-game-show-tycoon-politician…
Apparently, it is an Americanism that refers to the processed tuna flakes in tinned containers.
Chicken of the cave
We say it that way to clearly distinguish them from chicken fish and tuna birds, duh.
I don’t know anyone over the age of 9 says “tuna fish”.
Ha! That’s what I call my pet chicken when she’s being sassy.
Which, being a chicken bird means 25/8
That’s not a typo, she’s just extra
The people who say “tuna fish” do so because they heard someone else say it, and are the kind of people to blindly follow others rather than engage in critical inquiry and actively eliminate redundancy.
Intelligent people say neither of those redundancies.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read on the internet in a bit.
Are you going to suggest that the phrase “tuna fish” is not redundant, or some other nitpick?
Your message could have been more efficient:
- “who say” already implies people, so you could have said “those who say” to be less redundant.
- “do so” is needlessly making a reference to exactly what you just said. Try “They say ‘tuna fish’ because”.
- “someone else” is redundant because the only person that’s not “else” is the person in question, and they wouldn’t have heard it from themselves.
- “the kind of people to” is redundant because you already established that they’re people. “the kind who” would be more efficient.
- “blindy follow others” doesn’t need to say “others” because it’s obvious that they’d be following someone other than themselves.
- “neither of those redundancies” is also a tad redundant, referring back to the established redundancies and then calling them redundancies again.
So a less redundant version of your message:
They say “tuna fish” because they heard someone say it, and are the kind who blindly follows rather than engage in critical inquiry and actively eliminate redundancy.
Intelligent people say neither redundancy.
Of course, I’m just poking fun. I don’t expect anyone to eliminate all redundancy from their speaking; some of it has use, especially in verbal communication. For example, saying “datil pepper” even though datil also refers to the pepper is useful because someone may not recognize that a datil is a pepper upon hearing it (though you’d be hard pressed to find that scenario with tuna outside of ESL.)
I don’t have a particularly strong distaste for redundancy but people blindly saying things without thinking nor any concern toward being readily understood is a bit of a peeve of mine. Particularly, I get offended when people expect one person to handle all of the effort for all sides of a conversation without supplying their sides’ tools for doing so. Partly as an example, I have to wonder if you’re getting downvoted by people who think that “n times as many as” “n times more than” are the same amount despite the obvious fact that “one time more than” is, by that standard, not at all more than the thing it’s compared to. They just refuse to consider that what they’re saying is plainly wrong and insist that people learn their wrong way of speaking. Grr.
Anyway, I assume I’m hopping onto the train to Karma Hell with you (as always; people who hate thinking really hate having their “thinking” questioned) so let’s meet in the food car and get a sandwich together, yeah? You’re already ahead on indignant downvotes so you can buy :P
I say tooterfish popkin.
Around here, people call it sea chicken
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American.
Lol. I guess the term ‘chicken bird’ just didn’t cross the pond.
It’s “tuna fish”. Most everywhere else it’s just “tuna”, like a “tuna sandwich.” 😉
Sometimes I just want to blaze one with Bev snd chill in a mud bath. But life can’t afford me those simple pleasures.
Prickly pear cactus are called tuna (maybe just in Spanish?) — I wouldn’t want to confuse tuna fish with tuna fruit…
Also, I think tuna fish refers to certain preparation, e.g., as used in a tuna fish sandwich. This is in contrast to sushi (“tuna roll”) or a tuna steak, which typically don’t have the “fish” qualifier.
