This is a very odd thing to do with your mouth if you’re pouring liquid into it. I think the Internet was right to recontextualise it.
I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

The RCA isn’t always included in these summaries, probably because it’s small and the overall figures are low, but the % impact is potentially the worst of all. As a PG only specialist institution it’s funding model is also different to other universities, i.e. no fees via UG student loans.

Holy Hecate. That is bad.
Oh, God, this is one of those "where do I even start" things, because Roblox is, like, *fractally* fucked. They are terrible at content moderation. A lot of the games are rated incorrectly, so kids can encounter graphic content (sex or violence) out of nowhere --
