Yeah that mentality is exactly why things are as bad as they are

Being content despite all of it.

We shouldn’t be striving to be “content” we should be livid, pissed, terrified, motivated.

Being content while the world is falling apart is madness and the more people that are “content” means more people unwilling to actually make the changes necessary to fix the problems we have.

Apathy is death.

there’s no need for an extreme emotional response.

That’s the part I’m having issues with. There’s very much a need for extreme emotional response.

Idk clearly I’m not picking up what you’re putting down and I apologize for seeming so hostile. I’m just at the point of wanting to commit acts of terror because the people in charge are making protest illegal.

I just don’t see how that’s any different from “it is what it is” in the first place.

Me and my dad actually had to do this with a high voltage plug for an air compressor.

We had a welder that had the same plug as our air compressor but we needed it to be longer. So we spliced two male ends together to make an extension.

It was only extremely dangerous for about 5 minutes but that was some of the sweatiest 5 minutes of my life.

My biggest gruff with Disney is them declaring the extended universe non canon just to cherry pick details from it while ignoring the most exciting lore and shit.

Like the whole palpatine returning thing happened in the EU but was done in a much better way. Different materials like beskar were more fleshed out.

Disney literally had thousands of stories to draw inspiration from and chose to just come up with bullshit over and over again.

Which is honestly really fuckin sad when you think about it.

People always say that it’s just because the shows aren’t made for you anymore and that’s actually the problem but not the way you think.

The shows are quite literally dumber. Cartoons used to have content for parents as well as the kids. Like sneaking in adult jokes that would fly right over a kids head. Now cartoons are just about capturing attention through flashy colors and constantly changing scenes.

Put on a cartoon made decades ago and the whole family can enjoy it. Put on a modern cartoon and anyone over 12 can’t stand it

ThatWeirdGuy1001, 8 months ago

I’d argue it’s also a deliberate attempt to destroy attention span like most things targeted towards kids nowadays.

You can’t notice the problems in the world and fix them if you’re constantly searching for that next dopamine hit.

I was generalizing I know there are some good cartoons out there. Gumball comes to mind. But generally the quality and witty ness have dropped

ThatWeirdGuy1001, 8 months ago

Yeah it’s not the cartoonist. It’s the media corporation they operate through.

It’s not a secret that media outlets heavily influence what is aired on their channels. Hell they determine what they air in the first place. That and the FCC is a govt agency that determines what is or is not appropriate for public television. And with half our govt trying to strip education it’s not that far of a stretch.

The actual cartoonist is usually on the lower end of the power dynamic. You make what they tell you to make or you don’t work for them.

Hey I get that I was just using it as an example of priests always having been this way.

Hey, I, get, that, I, was, just, using, that, as, an, example, of, a, lack, of, comma, usage.

Jeff Dunham even did a joke with Achmed the dead terrorist.

“I like to throw a penny between two Jews and watch them fight to the death. I also do the same with Catholic priests but instead I throw a small boy! The winner has to fight Michael Jackson!”

It took me until I saw that guy on tiktok who does a Nigel impression to learn that Tim Curry was the voice

Edit: So I misunderstood this comment and came to the wrong conclusion. I thought they were talking about Nigel Thornberry from Eliza and the Thornberry’s

ThatWeirdGuy1001, 8 months ago

It’s really sad Tim Curry had a stroke.

He was always a great villain even in the cheesiest roles

Ah you see I made an image in which you are ugly therefore my opinion is clearly correct 🤓

Yeah honestly it’s amazing we don’t have a pandemic all the time with how much microbes exist everywhere all the time.

But I guess there is a reason why the human population completely fucking exploded after the creation of antibiotics.

ThatWeirdGuy1001, 8 months ago

Honestly I loathe those auto dispensers.

I get the hygiene aspect but it’s annoying af waiting for it to register your hand wave just to spit out a pathetic amount of paper towel.

I graduated from a vocational school for machining.

Which requires a great deal of algebra.

I was failing algebra but passing machining.

“Oh shit food? Attack! What he’s biting me? Better bite harder. AAHHH HE’S BITING HARDER”

Just because the food chunks are coming out whole doesn’t mean it’s not diarrhea.

How tf is that show still running? I remember watching it when it first came out and it was great until like season 3 when characters started making decisions solely so the show could have drama.

Did it get better?

Should’ve been the dad as Benny instead of the mom since he’s the only one who calls him Jimbo
