  • He'll get there eventually. It looks shittier and shittier every time he charges it.

  • That's fine too. Just don't go in with such high expectations, and certainly don't judge the thing before you've even seen it.

  • This isn't a taxonomical discussion. As such, it is not necessary to 'correct' someone for using a widely accepted and common colloquialism.

  • The hiker was believed to be alone during the encounter, and no bear spray or firearms were found at the scene.

    In other words she wasn't following even the most basic, simple guidelines for hiking in the woods, let alone in a national park known for its wildlife.

    Visitors should be required to sit for a half hour "common sense" information video before entering the parks.

  • So you're saying we should switch to a .exe domain...

  • The Omnibus podcast did a great episode on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn.

  • I was very skeptical about it at first, but then it turned out to have some great characters and thoughtful storylines on top of all the deep lore self-referential jokes.

  • We might be able to see it better if it was in the original aspect ratio instead of this absurd portrait format.

  • Same place young privileged people traditionally get money from: their parents.

    Now, instead of paying for film school or acting lessons, wealthy parents can now just finance their brood's YouTube channel.

  • First I'd buy my own house from the bank. Next I'd buy each of my neighbor's houses going out three or four blocks and gift them to them, with the option to stay or move at any time in the future and sell them back to me at market rate. If they sell it back to me, take the cash and move, I put the property up for sale to the lowest bidder - ie, I would offer them to local families who needed it most, selling them for literally pennies.

    I would then start gifting large amounts to local schools, with the rider that it has to go towards increasing salaries for all existing staff first, followed by creating a floating fund for supplies and meals so that no teacher or family in need ever had to buy them out of their own pocket.

    After all that I'd start commissioning giant bronze statues of my favorite fictional characters and plopping them down on undeveloped land in the area, then building parks around them.

    Near one of these parks I'd build a great big classically-styled movie theater that plays classic films for three bucks a ticket. Operating costs would be paid for from a fund set up to keep the place open and running indefinitely, with all ticket sales to go to local charities.

  • Yeah I definitely see it after watching the Wrath of Farrakhan sketch.

    The next video was this, and I must now share it to purge it from my nightmares.

  • Limiting it to one film per category is tricky, especially since some of them are so broad, and "animation" isn't even a genre but a medium. I'm going to try to choose films that represent a turning point in their respective category, after which films of that type were forever changed in some way. These may be the "iconic/obvious" options, but they're also films that just about any movie lover ought to be proud to honor on their wall.

    • Action/Adventure: Raiders of the Lost Ark
    • Comedy: Spinal Tap
    • Drama: Citizen Kane
    • CGI/3D Animation: Toy Story
    • 2D Animation: Spirited Away
    • Science Fiction: 2001: A Space Odyssey
    • Mystery/Thriller: Rear Window
    • Fantasy: The Fellowship of the Ring
  • Oh no, a pile of paper with some ink on it combusted. Better start a riot and call for some murders!

    Totally a rational system of thought that's definitely not pulling civilization backwards.

  • It's funny that you ended with a Simpsons meme, because the Simpsons has been doing meta for decades now. I don't know why you would expect differently from its younger sibling Futurama.

    It's kind of what adult animated comedy does.

  • Enfeebled implies the feeble was applied to them. They were born feeble. It's in the water.
