      All that being said, we should not forget that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, Bubba "Spare Tire" Dixon.

    @gus.smedstad 2 роки тому +1

    Eyes themselves can’t really have expressions. They’re basically spheres with no changeable features. What you’re reading is lots of tiny muscles of the face. We’ve evolved a very complex system of both signaling and reading emotions from facial muscles. We find it disconcerting when there’s a significant conflict between tone of voice and those signals.
    Short version, “dead eyes” probably meant his face wasn’t conveying what his voice was, making him seem “dead” inside. AKA bad acting. Does’t really arise if you’re just being yourself.

      Why would you be so offended by this? Dead Eyes was named one of the best podcasts of 2020, and you've clearly never heard it, so it does seem like a "you" problem. But why be so upset by some good news that doesn't affect you in any way? Maybe that's a question for a therapist...
