That was when he took LSD for the first time intentionally. There was one time before that when he absorbed it accidentally.

It's a really poorly written article. The FOX 55 article they link is definitely better written.

This article starts by saying it's a "local Indianapolis grocery store" and then says it's in Fort Wayne. If a Fort Wayne grocery store counts as Indianapolis then every grocery store in the entire state must count as an Indianapolis grocery store.

No, the studios probably don't think it's a good idea.

Vin Diesel really loves Riddick. It's his passion project. Universal was willing to let the franchise die after two films but he wasn't, so he did a cameo in Tokyo Drift in exchange for the rights to the franchise. Then he independently raised funds for the third film and fronted a bunch of his own money, going so far as to mortgage his house to keep the production afloat.

I'm sure it's the same with this fourth film. The series was never all that profitable so the studios wouldn't push to make another one. It's gotta be Vin Diesel pushing to have it made because he personally deeply cares about the franchise.

Who defined that term? The radio stations. Artists and labels typically do not use that label, it's primarily the radio stations.

When classic rock stations started to appear in the '80s, they played popular hits from the '60s–'80s. So it included newly released hits. But when grunge came into the scene in the '90s, it had a different audience than the classic rock stations so they stopped including new hits. For about two decades there, it was fairly unambiguous that classic rock meant popular rock from the '60s–'80s.

After enough time though, grunge was no longer alienating to the classic rock stations listeners. The opposite became true and the stations could increase their audience by including hits from the '90s.

This raises the question: Did those '90s songs become classic rock or is the term fixed and anything not considered classic rock now never going to be considered classic rock? Who gets to define it? The radio stations who originally defined it or the public perception that developed during the period of time when classic rock stopped evolving?

Personally, I prefer to think of classic rock as a radio format rather than a genre, because it doesn't really behave like a normal genre. If I start a band that sounds like metal then my band is metal, but if I start a band that sounds like classic rock it's still not classic rock? Why? That feels out of the spirit of music genres to me. There are music movements that are tied to a specific time period—my band could never be part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal—but it could be in the same genre as those bands.

In terms of music style, how are AC/DC and Billy Joel considered the same genre? They're wildly different. The Who and The Doors? Very different.

The reason those bands are considered classic rock is not because they sound similar, it's because they target similar audiences. As a radio format, it makes way more sense why some bands are considered classic rock and some aren't.

The initial wave of attention probably would have happened anyway, but when it was later revealed that the school had paid a bunch of money in an attempt to get the images removed from the Internet that just brought a second wave of attention to the incident.

I found it to be the easiest. If you're having trouble with a boss, you can just go somewhere else and level up or upgrade your weapon before coming back. Unless you're at the very end and explored nearly everything, there should be plenty of other bosses you could be fighting instead. Other soulslike games tend not to have as many options and I would often end up stuck on a particular boss that I had to best because there were no other areas available.

Also spirit ashes. I know a lot of people refuse to use them, but if the game gives you something that makes the game easier and you choose not to use it then that's on you.

His name isn't Adam. He just makes a comparison between himself and Adam from the Bible. The quote is:

Remember that I am thy creature; I ought to be thy Adam, but I am rather the fallen angel, whom thou drivest from joy for no misdeed.

Unfortunately that would disproportionately impact small local businesses far more than large corporations.
