My mom used both of these on me as a kid. I don't think either of them had a long-term impact on me. At the time, I'm sure she didn't know they were toxic.....or did she? No matter, I'm okay. I've been tested.

I simply can't not see that (girl?) on the middle left as falling, even if technically she is until the swing seat catches her

To my eyes: a kid in full swing, passing at the lowest point to the ground, positioning his body to increase speed (pulling the ropes while pushing the butt forward).

Obviously, you are too young to be entitled to compensation for being forced to watch.....

...when you turn on Saturday Night Live just to see if it's become funny again after years of being VFU "Very F......ing Unfunny", just hoping that maybe it will be worth watching again, and it's still horrible.

Honestly, I'm sure it's a generational thing. I took my daughter to see George Carlin in Las Vegas and she didn't think he was funny at all.
