Reddit is a lost cause.
Reddit is the home of lost causes
Absolute cess-pit
coupd be used as a list of people to "fix" like a dog.
Something like a third of Reddit is comprised of bots and alt accounts. The conservative sub catches dozens of alt accounts of leftists pretending to be conservative every single day.
They will literally pretend like every conservative they know loves Romney and wants Trump indicted. Leftists can't even pretend to be conservatives. It's really funny because they basically out themselves despite trying to appear right wing to gaslight us.
The behavior of leftists everywhere but especially Reddit convinced me that 75% of leftists are truly evil people. Unfortunately in the US that comes out to about 5% of the population.
I honestly support allowing the West Coast to secede at this point. I'd rather a distant culture like Japan or Taiwan join the United States than keep California
Reddit is just a centre for people with no inner monologue.
That's an excellent way to describe it
It should be law to force r*dditors to undergo the Voight-Kampff test. If you fail, you get retired on the spot.
on the contrare, it seems exactly like a place for people _with_ an inner monologue
@@gabrielseaborn257 In what world?
People with an inner monologue, reflect to themselves on themselves and don’t need to be told whether they are the asshole or not. 😂😂
Don’t get offended because you use it kiddo.
@@GBNationalist As someone without an inner monologue it feels like a complete and utter waste of time to post stories like that. If I don’t hear my own monologue why the hell would I want to read it? Much less post it for normies to read and judge.
Feels more like an indicator for narcissism than anything
I really like the 'sharply dressed eloquent men drinking beers and eating snack food while psychoanalyzing Redditors' dynamic here.
It's like watching Victorian gentlemen having a sensible chuckle at the expense of circus freaks.
That works.
You should make this into a series, reddit is an absolute left wing cesspit you would have a hoot with a bit more digging
cesspit > reddit.
@@elLootoCesspits actually serve an important, useful purpose.
agreed,dabbing on reddit is good content
problem with lotus eaters is too much doom and gloom and blackpills,you start not clicking on the vids at all or tuning in cause though the content is good and all well its just depressing and ruins your day lol so you start to avoid negativity im fully aware of how bad things are.
sometimes you need uplifting content or humour inbetween being daily reminded you are being demographically replaced and your enemies are growing stronger daily and they will oppress you when they overtake us.
Its 2023 - that cesspit was a total reddit.
I dont mind an occasional video about redditors and their insane cope
A note on the cartoons, a lot of them, although I'm really talking about the "adult" comedies, is that they were essentially liberal propaganda, ramping people up to the next stage of "Progress", that being the SJW wave up until now. I mean, ffs, American Dad had an episode where Francine was the surrogate mother for the gay couple's child, and Stan was portrayed as the bad guy for objecting to this, despite them going behind his back on the matter.
This was obvious with family guy. Brian was the write in character for Seth McFarlene
It's fascinating how far back this goes. I watched the old Gargoyles cartoon on a whim, and that's propaganda too. It's pushing a different message, and the message it's pushing is closer to accurate, but propaganda it undoubtedly is.
@@appliedatoms7066 Thing is, it didn't really push any specific 'message'. Occasionally you'd get the 'moral of the day' kind of episode, but those were pretty rare and it wouldn't exactly thread through to wider story. If there was a wider theme throughout, then it would at the end of the day be 'love' and 'loyalty'; and how it can be lost, twisted, misdirected, betrayed, rediscovered, tested, or embraced.
Gargoyles at the end of the day was well written for what it was: An adventure show that dabbled into the well known mythologies, and played out like a tragedy as much as it could for a children's show. Most characters and/or factions that were explored got painted as shades of grey instead of black and white, context given to motivations and actions: That many actions taken were based upon incomplete knowledge that resulted in tragic outcomes. Which I suppose is the other theme of the show: Mistakes, and how people will make and deal with them; and that most of them cannot be undone, and some cannot be forgiven.
Frankly I think people might have become so bitter, jaded, and cynical; that 'life lessons' are now considered propaganda designed to have people act against their own best interests.
And he's the most hated character in the show, go figure. @@canibezeroun1988
American Dad has done that a few times where they've made the reasonable person seem like the one in the wrong. If it wasn't Roger, and to a lesser extent Steve, that show wouldn't be worth watching.
'Seth Rogan is a physical embodiment of Reddit.' - Quote of the day!😆
AITA is simply a replacement for the confession booth for guilty materialist
You are completely misunderstanding the motivation. It's about fishing for attention, not absolution.
@@HenriFaust
Nah, there’s definitely a “please absolve me” vibe about a lot of these.
@@HenriFaustI don't think it has to be exclusively one or the other. These people all worship the collective. Yes they want attention but they also want the permission from the group so they can absolve themselves of any second thoughts regarding their past interactions.
I think it is very similar to prayer. Prayer is to seek a God's attention and ask him for forgiveness, help, or advice. I think the catch is that the thing you are praying to isn't supposed to answer. That leaves you to ponder if you really have been forgiven, helped, or steered in the right direction. When your god gives you a definitive answer you don't really need to do any of that. Like many things in the modern world it's a reflection of past behaviours except the fulfillment is all loaded at the front end followed by a short path to ruin on the tail end.
@@ragnarok7976 Why would someone feel the need to absolve themselves when in their reckoning they have done nothing wrong? It is only in your reckoning that they have done wrong. Again, why would they feel the need for prayer, when it is also only in your mind that there is a need for prayer?
When I was younger I had this exact same conversation with progressives multiple times, where the progressive ranted out of frustration and off-the-cuff, "These Christians cannot possibly believe any of this God and prayer stuff be true! It is simply too ridiculous to believe! Christians must have to be lying about all this just to get power!" (paraphrasing)
I'm sure you are aware that most professed Christians are sincere even when they fail to live up to their tenets. The same is unfortunately true of Progressives. The fundamental distinction between Christians and Progressives is not one of sincerity, but that Christians recognize that objective reality exists as the final arbiter of debate while progressives do not. (That said, Progressivism is still currently in fashion, so it has been attracting all of the psychopaths and social-climbers who don't believe in anything.)
Sometimes this can lead to progressives caught between the party line and their human instincts, but Christian prayer, like transcendental meditation or logical reasoning, has to be taught to people in order to become a habit. As someone who was raised by secular scientists, I can attest to the fact that prayer is not an instinctual behavior in most people.
But the priest doesn't absolve you just because you want him to, and his purpose is to remind you that you're being judged.
The last time I was on the AITA sub-reddit, it was a guy asking if he was an a-hole for getting annoyed at his mom for wanting to spend more time with him, now that he's an adult. Having lost my own Mom barely a month earlier, I told him he wasn't necessarily an a-hole, but he should really try to incorporate her in his life because she won't be around forever. I told him about my regrets about losing my Mom because, not being the girly girl she really wanted, we didn't have much in common & it pained me at all of the time we missed being together that we could have focused more on the few things we did (or just be with her a little more) and I didn't want him to feel the same way when HIS mother was gone. I got SO MANY down-votes for it, but I got one…I assume it was from him, because he admitted that I was right & he promised to try to spend more time with her so she didn't feel like she was losing him as much. I hope they're doing well.
That was great advice.
Feels like Harry has gone through 5 decades of looks in the past year.

GITS is the GOAT. _the Matrix_ stole so much from it, down to shot composition.

What's your point.
Naming the baby: asking your best friend to be godmother is obvious; OFFERING to name your baby for your friend's dead baby is a nice gesture; friend don't want that. That's it. If the nice gesture had worked, then it would have given the friend some comfort. It failed. So do NOT do that: that's logical captain.
after reading what i could see on screen. The mother was thinking of calling her kid Ingrid anyway because of her dead cousin. Ingrid means alot for the mother aswell and it just happend that her friend had the same name in mind.
So i might be selfish but i would call her anyway regardless of what she thinks.
But maybe i am the asshole.
Yeah. That story had very important context right at the end that flips my opinion of it.
14:02 - I watched The Clone Wars as an adult in my 30s. I didn’t have time when I was younger and finally watched it when I got a Netflix streaming subscription. Absolutely fell in love with the show.
It made me totally appreciate the prequels so much more. I absolutely fell in love with Matt Lanter’s (voice actor) Anakin. So much so that when I see Darth Vader I’m extremely heartbroken because I only see the broken shell that is Anakin inside.
Also, I loved that the show went into how the clones reacted with each other. The show really delved into how each clone had their own soul. Thus, it was so brutal that the Jedi used clones for the war though they were manipulated into doing so by Darth Sidious.
It’s a show that shows how “for the greater good” is still evil which is what the Jedi did time and time again. Sargon’s view of the Jedi as a heartless cult that takes kids away from their parents is 100% correct. It’s why they couldn’t understand Anakin and why Luke was able to save his father. Family matters. The Jedi went psycho and George was showing that throughout the Clone Wars show.
Even worse, if you pay attention to Episode 2, Palps did not manipulate the Jedi into using the clones. Yes he had the clones made in their name, but that's all. Obi-Wan and Anakin got themselves in trouble by their own impetuousness, and the Jedi threw themselves into war over it without a second thought.
Genndy did better with less and TCW created a LOT of the continuity errors that allowed Disney to wipe Legends. Books like Labyrinth of Evil and the comics also told better stories IMO. You should check them out.
Nicely put! A lot of people miss that core theme of the importance of family and relationships.
Well said
AITA is one of my favourite creative writing subreddits.
Harry being 30 and libing with your parents isnt necessarily a bad thing.
Im 26 married and my father moved into my house.
Its a good thing to keep the family unit together.

For being 5 people, they did a pretty good job of not talking over each other..I could do without the eating, but it wasn't too big of a deal
I know a few people that could learn something here. They even try to gaslight you by saying talking over people rudely is just normal conversation.
Harry is turning into a proper Viking
He just needs the beard and he is the Nordic chad meme 🤟
We've got Ralof on here, now we need Hadvar.
In another video I heard him say he comes from East Anglia.
If that is the case then he likely has some VERY Scandinavian Genetics, the Norse colonized the heck out of that part of England....and they had lots of fun with the locals too 😏.
If he grew a beard and learnt Norse he would be Jarl Harry, Hammer of the South!
Fus Ro Dah!
Yes
4:50 I learned that from an ex that always tried to win arguments with "all my friends say I'm right". Which was an interesting way to say "I openly discuss a lot of our private stuff with a bunch of people you barely know".
Also, the problem with that is the other person can easily "mis-frame" the context of the argument to friends so they don't get the true accurate picture to make the correct decision.
This sounds like a line that would fit perfectly in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia
@@beaterbikechannel2538 Never seen that show, so I wouldn't know.
This is like Jerry Springer, but with slightly more privacy. Many of us would need to go back in time to see the appeal of airing your dirty laundry like this.

I wonder what kind of response a question like "Am I the asshole for figuring out helping a young woman escape a life of s*x/p*rn by reintroducing her to her father/family?" would get on bloody reddit.
Good god it would.

Am i the asshole for planning to dress up as an Umpa Lumpa with a bunch of friends and break into Peter Dinklage and then sing and dance around his coffin? XD
"Break into Peter Dinklage" - I think you could just unscrew the top, he's basically a jar with legs.
Avatar and Clone Wars are great because they don't treat children as incompetent snowflakes, are well written, and deal with mature subjects / philosophy. Some moral story episodes are a little on the nose, but the key thing is they're enjoyable for both children and adults.
Regular show is very much off the wall fun, but like the others it can be surprisingly dark. Clone Wars especially has so many warcrimes and violent deaths. Early 2000s kid's TV was something else.
Gravity Falls was surprisingly good. I watched that with my niece when she was little and I think it had some of the best storytelling in modern cartoons.

A broken culture sold out by a man with a neck sack.
Was exactly my thoughts mate, I like them even more now 😂
I don't like most cartoons being produced recently, but I must confess that Over the Garden Wall is very enjoyable. Fantastic soundtrack, quite decent writing, and it didn’t overstay its welcome.
Also, the conclusion to Clone Wars that Disney did was honestly pretty good. If you can get past the clunky dialogue, it is the saving grace of the prequels.
Over the Garden Wall is based on Dantes Inferno. There's a video about it and the creator also verified it. Cool stuff
If Distributist likes it I know it's gonna be based.
Clone Wars is the last piece of Star Wars media that is genuinely good. Everything after is just crap or crap with a ton of fanservice which disguises it as good to the brainless fans. Conner is based.
Rebels Seasons 3 & 4 I thought were really good. I particularly liked the story arc of the Empire defector that turned into a spy for the rebels.
Kanan sacrificing himself to save everyone and accomplish the mission to stop the factories was very Star Wars Jedi stuff imo.
Ezra being tempted by Darth Maul to be his apprentice. Also, the duel between Darth and Obi-wan. It’s short but the explanation by the voice actor for Darth shows how much Filoni put thought into the lore and the mind of an older Obi-Wan.
There’s lots of good stuff in Rebels. I highly recommend.
The prequels and everything associated with them is trash, and I feel sorry for the Millennials and older Zoomers that think they're real Star Wars.
@umiluv It was a letdown for me , it didn't go that much higher than the usual kids' TV standards .
It felt like the early seasons of clones wars but even less character and story development. Maul was underused. Maybe if they used him more often, then his death would have even more impact. I didn't like that we only ever focused on the main cast, which was bland, to say the least, unlike clone wars, which even developed minor characters. How could we focus on the early days of the rebellion and not even look into the lives of those who joined the alliance? Unlike clone wars, which would have episodes solely focused on the clones and how they worked together. I will say the final seasons of rebels are better, but not enough to rank it as great.
I was a young teen when I saw it, so there may be some criticisms and positives I don't remember clearly.
@umiluv A point I missed was the defector and kazan. I, as a whole, liked the defector arc, but they could've done something with it where he tries to help others defect and mabye humanise the people who work for the empire.
I heard the cassian series was pretty good at that and focused on the empire side of things.
I was pretty satisfied with kanans arc in the series, not much else to say. But Ezra, on the other hand ... thats a topic I'm not willing to go into. It would drive me mad.
13:30 Over The Garden Wall is a genuinely lovely piece of Americana, unique setting, good story, short and sweet, great score, great set pieces.
Real work of art.
I do think there's a definite split in animation as an art, and animation as a "It's for kids", and I think a fair amount of animation is for all audiences, including adults, they're good stories and they're good content, but then you get rather infantile/"Coddling" animation that tries to be your mother, lecturing you on morals and treating you to sugar and glitter.
If the piece is trying to be a replacement mother, it's probably going to be junk and propagandizing.
Fair point actually, especially considering how animation was always more difficult to make than a live-action film.
Friendship is Magic's first 3 seasons or so are legitimately good kids fair. Problem was that it turned out surprisingly good thanks to a strong pedigree of the showrunners (seriously, the biggest pull was that it was made by the earliest producers of Cartoon Network originals) despite the saccharin source material. And because it was surprisingly good, it became patient zero for kidulting cartoons by and for childless millenials on Twitter because Hasbro made the horrible decision to actively acknowledge and curry the bronies instead of ignoring it beyond the average pop culture reference for Mom amd Dad. But a single gray mare spoke and the show ain't what it used to be.
No, you shouldn't know what that means; its more crytic and warning like it should be.
At least it had a based anti-communist episode.
I really enjoyed the first season or so for all the reasons listed, but then I met one of the original Bronies. Without a breath of exaggeration, he was a fat neckbeard in a trenchcoat and fedora who thought showering was a scam.
I am no longer interested in My Little Pony.

The lock on the door sounds sus, but it was because the brother-in-law's daughters took his daughter's stuff from her room, the final straw being a $60 makeup kit she'd saved up to buy and which they then ruined.
Yeah, I’ve read a few stories about locks on the bedroom door intended to keep people out rather than lock the kids in.
In those cases it was a matter of personal privacy for the child, and the op was being gaslit by someone who was either invasive or straight up predatory.
Relatives. Lost some good games that way.
Better idea: post some really wholesome behavior as a question to this site. Like "Am I the assh*le for returning the shopping carts other people left on the parking lot?"
Clone wars is actually very based, especially the conspiracy episodes and the battle of Scipio and the fall of the banking clan arc are both very entertaining and show you just how corrupt a representative liberal "republic" could become before a caesar like figure (palpatine, arguably the good guy in the EU) can come and swoop in and take it over easily from within.
AMtA is a question you should be asking your close friends or family. It is going to your community who you trust and is a part of your life. The Reddit is tapping into that, but you get anonymity and (likely) affirmation from thousands, for people who don't want to or don't have that network in real life.
If you have to ask that question it means you didn't have a father...
I would enjoy this becoming a series.
There is a saying that goes something like this. In any group there is at least one a-hole, and if looking around you can't spot them then more than likely you are it!
Now you're just stealing from Dane Cook.
Don't know who he is but I probably stole it from someone else.@@MykeLewisMusic
@@mannywilliams6409so did Dane Cook
When everyone is gaslighting you, and you think they are wrong, you ask a complete stranger...
These are meant to be genuinely hard situations to judge. The "stolen" baby name one as an example. To the OP it seems like something that could potentially be a way of honoring the friend, but to the friend it comes off as insensitive. To me that situation is fine, there shouldn't be an issue and she wouldn't be the asshole to me.
The issue for her friend is the constant reminder of her baby that she lost. I had a miscarriage and I couldn’t get over my loss until I finally had a baby. It’s not something that a mom can easily get over.
If she had made peace with the loss then she could be totally cool with her friend doing that but if you’re still mourning, that would be really difficult to deal with.
Behaviourally speaking, this is rather interesting. Seeking advice from random strangers on private matters (often containing TMI), is indicative of heightened guilt (hence the need for guidance) but diminished shame (hence the public sharing).
Sometimes there are gems. Like this one of a woman who dropped her friend after her friend's girlfriend of 12 years cheated on him, and the friend called his ex a bunt, a bhore, and a blut. She declared that the friend hates wahmen and is a bad person, while the ex who cheated on him for 10 years is a "cool person." MAN, the Redditors raked her over the coals for that.
SaberSpark did an awesome video on adults watching cartoons.
Cartoons were always for grown ups until the 80s when toy companies realized they could use them to sell junk to kids (thus they became inane and shameless).
Winnie the Pooh was a well written movie and series (there's an episode where Tigger uses a fake jaguar to terrify his friends into making him king...and he immediately becomes a tyrant). The fact that it got made into a horror movie was an utter travesty.
It also didn’t help that Disney and Warner brothers started buying up all the indie studios.
The Clone Wars, based? I wish it had been. It ran roughshod over what came before, with General Grievous being the most memetically abused by its writing, but even beyond that a lot of what it tries to do doesn't work. I liked watching Maul's return as much as the next guy, but it is inexcusable for the Jedi only to realize that he knows who the other Sith is at the precise moment it's too late to do anything about it.
Retconning the old, generally well done, Clone Wars Multimedia Project is especially bad (especially in the early seasons where they ripped plots from the comics and did them worse) -- there's a strong argument that when Disney eradicated the old EU they did it on the precedent Filoni set with TCW.
And speaking of, Dave Filoni's career was basically launched by this show, and Star Wars fans everywhere are undoubtedly poorer for it.
The prequels ran roughshod over what came before, so why were you surprised about the Clone Wars being subpar?
@@MykeLewisMusic Unironically the prequels had more respect for their predecessors than TCW did.
The prequels have some very serious problems and I am not saying otherwise, but at least there wasn't an entirely different existing and public plan for the prequels that the movies overwrote the way TCW overwrote the Multimedia Project.
I remember there's a story from 2013 , a man found out his wife use to ....have relations with her dog from age 11 until age 18 when she left for college ...he was rightfully freaked out especially as the more he asked her about it the more it seemed like she missed it , the comments were split between "that's f'd" and "this isn't too bad it happened in the past , who cares "
These people absolutely know they're the A-hole, but they'd rather justify (and have other people validate) their poor and selfish behaviour than face any consequences.
I read one before where a girl was debating going to the funeral of her heavily disabled brother and basically whining that sometimes her parents missed musical recitals because of a medical emergency her brother was having. Reddit was calling her parents assholes and saying she’s justified to not go. I left a comment letting them know they’re a childish POS, unsurprisingly got downvoted to oblivion.
I LOVE these boysss hangouts, more of this plz
If people dunking on Reddit and Redditors were a TV series, I would watch it every time.
I love this.
One common thing I've seen is people who are in the right but getting gaslit by the people around them.
I re-watch old kids cartoons from my childhood (Transformers, He-Man, Fist of the North Star) to remind myself that morality existed at one point in my life, because I don't see it in the real world today and it saddens me greatly. The cartoons help me take the gun out of my mouth and go about trying my best to be a good person in the face of almost insurmountable indifference and selfishness. PS - I am a grown up, raised a kid, got a ph D, did manual labour to pay for it, paid my bills, clean my house, etc.
based harry hating the edgy horror kids ip movie trend
on the other hand, that cartoon list is a byproduct of people thinking cartoons are by kids for default, and so this sort of taboo against adults watching things that "ought" to be for children makes cartoons a guilty pleasure that they go out of their way to justify. the rise-above-it-all is that animation does not have to be for children, but this stupid dancing on the line of "look, a cartoon showed a nosebleed! a cartoon showed a kiss! this wacky cartoon guy has depression!" is beyond annoying
meanwhile amphibia is the only cartoon i've seen that said taxation is theft
Reddit is a great place for porn, memes and video game discussions. Other than that, stay far away
This needs to be a series.
I need this , its just pure catharsis.
_even if you're lost you can't lose the love because it's in your heart_
No one who truly believes they are the arsehole has ever asked ‘am I the arsehole?’ - they just want their guilt expunged.
All the ones who get ratio'd for being childish narcissistic degenerates end up screeching at everyone in the comments. They want to have their behaviour celebrated.

The steven universe psa's r well known 2 be extremely bigoted, what isn't suprising with woke things.
I know a lesbian (and 2nd wave feminists) who loved Avatar: the Last Airbender, but she hated Korra (she absolutely despised it).
Spectacular Spider-man ended 2 soon, it was a amazing show.
I honestly prefer watching cartoons over modern TV shows bc it’s all softcore/hardcore prawn and there’s always grape and gory violence. No thanks. I’m just not into that stuff. It used to be niche when I was younger and now it’s in EVERYTHING.
The old cartoons back in the 80s and 90s were done so that both parents and kids could enjoy the shows. Like the Batman animated series was awesome.
I’m looking forward to watching a lot of shows with my sons that I watched as a kid. There were a lot of good messages of friendship, loyalty, bravery, family, etc in the cartoons I watched as a kid in the 80s and 90s.
My husband feels like Sponge Bob was the beginning of the end. He and I were of college age by the time Sponge Bob came out. I never watched it.
I highly recommend Phineas & Ferb for a more recent cartoon series that is enjoyable by both parents and kids. It’s made by the creators that did Rocko’s Modern Life.
I can't bring myself to read any of the entries in the postmodern confessional. It's too boring even to cruise to spot the trolls.

Are they secretly trans or something?
Actually Steven Universe the best cartoon that's come out since 2013.
It's a feminist/sjw/lgbtq ( the writer claims she is all three) written self-own where the writer demonstrates episode after episode that all women are psychotically angry and salty messes that would annihilate each other in emotional whirlwinds if there was not a male there to straighten them out and remind them not to be psychotic.
And she masterfully demonstrates that it only has to be a male to fix it, with the savior most the time being just a little boy.
She goes on to demonstrate that all women who have positions of power are corrupt and emotionally toying with other people ( literally every female character in the series with the slightest amount of authority over others) and that ultimately, as demonstrated in the end of the series, the only way to save the world is to smack all the powerful women upside the head and explain to them that they should act decent.
Steven Daddy would have been a better title for the series but I can understand why she went with Universe.
AITA did have a place. People who were in abusive relationships would ask if they were the bad person, or their spouse was. Many people in abusive relationships stay because they think it's normal, and (if the stories are correct) they then realize their spouse or parents are abusive and get help. But it's reddit so sometimes they say things are abusive that aren't, or it's just all fake anyway.
Why the Budweiser?
Okay I’ll throw out a positive. I noticed that a lot of women ask AITA and maybe they’re looking for an honest answer instead of one that’s biased by women trying not to hurt their friend’s feelings.
Nope, they've upset their personal group of gal friends with the antics, so are looking for a different, even larger group of women to validate them.
Not everyone behaves the same or reacts the same. So, you probably have a point.
I am completely fine if there are full grown adults wasting away with cartoons not training, not stacking gold and silver, and not buying land and nods. They did it to themselves.
That's a strangely worded boast.
Night vision larping is gay.
Currently watching Over The Garden Wall, it's actually pretty decent. Sadly I used to like Steven Universe (tbh seasons 1-3 aren't that bad) but it stopped everything to take a dump on it's story and have a cry session instead of the hero's journey arc it set up. They did Greg the dirtiest.
Hear me out, they had some really neat ideas but they fumbled it badly: the concepts they had like magical weapons, essentially took the DragonBall fusion dance but later said fusion had sexual connotations in the show (it really seemed like they made shit up on the fly as they wrote it because of what they retroactively change), the idea that the gems physical forms are like holograms projected from their gem, etc. YET the politics of the show only went down hill from the jump - like why did Greg still live in a van when Steven lived in a two story beach house?!
if you havent checked it out yet i'd recommend amphibia. solid writing, tells a complete story, feels like a living world, minimal filler
good stuff on your channel btw
go watch land of the lustrous if you want a good show about sentient gemstones
I wonder with some of the people who are hyper into kids cartoons, if in an age past wouldn't be as weird as they would have a kid to watch it with. Something like Star Trek being the show you and your Dad watch together, instead of living in Mum's basement learning Klingon.
I went to Octoberfest in Chattanooga last year, and I like wearing my big bdu camouflage coat, and my Infowars t-shirt. I got some waffles and sat down to eat, but at the next table over sat a redditor, who posted about me and called me a nazi.
take pride in knowing that you were living in some redditor's head rent free
From my understanding, the Winnie the Pooh slasher film was meant more as a kind of copyright troll, as the trailer for it was released the very day that the characters of Winnie and Piglet entered the public domain.
A lot of Disney films are based on older novels that have become overshadowed by their cartoon adaptations. Walt even tried to get an adaptation of Reynard the Fox off the ground before he found out that Reynard was a rapist murderer. That project eventually morphed into Robin Hood.
Some sub reddits for niche topics can be useful. Like specific gun manufacturers have subreddits, random obscure video games, etc. the social subreddits, like the big ones all have the same overarching theme
Don't have kids, body count doesn't matter, get divorced or never get married, Trump bad.
That's nice of you guys letting the local hobo on the podcast and giving him food.
This is a nice layout, love the comic book style boxes.
This is one of my favorite formats so far. Harry is always such a good balance to any set of people and this is the format I think Connor actually really shines in.
I got massive downvotes for stating facts not even in a rude way 😂 I don’t use Reddit as a rule (I was following a thread regarding an issue with a product) and it completely out me off
The consensus is most of the AITA sub are trolls.
I use Reddit for the subreddits having to do with my hobbies (aquariums, bonsai, embroidery, etc). That is the only way to use reddit without losing every wrinkle on your brain.
People will absolutely look for any possible way to justify their actions.
I get people telling me their woes while i'm trying to sell them tins of beans, they will seriously look to be exhonerated by everyone and everything they possibly can in order to justify things to themselves.
Over the garden wall is honestly a pretty good show I was pleasantly surprised when I watched it.
Within a few weeks of joining I was permabanned by askwomen & dating advice. Just for posing a different viewpoint. These people exist in an echochamber and any disruption of that is seen as a personal attack.
Every major forum started becoming like that towards the late 2000 teens. I watched several once massive and highly popular tech and engineering forums absolutely crash and burn due to woke BS pandering.
If you were older, intelligent, life lived and could hold your own in an argument with real confirmable facts and data, like an adult (the core people that make such forums work and work well) you became priority 1 to be removed for any excuse they could find.
Over the Garden Wall on that list is genuinely a fantastic mini-series tbh.
Everyone groans at MLP:FiM because of its reputation. Yet it's up there with Batman: TAS and Warner Bros for classic plots and adult themes cleverly written in a show "for kids." The other stuff (like the Seth produced shows) are just shock/subversive entertainment made for kids and manchildren. The irony is, a lot of adults are turning to cartoons like MLP and Batman TAS (and anime) because they have better writing and values than most modern stuff. Not just cartoons, but live action TV shows. It's not a coincidence that MLP:FiM has a lot of guest stars and actors from classic Star Trek, references to 80s movies like BTTF/Indiana Jones or reuses plots from classic 1980s/90s sitcoms. They're the ones actually appealing to adults. While kids tend to want to watch the sex and gore on an Adult Swim show because it makes them think they're adults.
Everybody needs to get in a proper fist fight at least once.

Really Loving the Set Design!!
This format works. Do more of it
If you need people on the internet to tell you that giving your baby the same middle name as your friends dead babies name, you have messed up somewhere.
A decent person would either avoid that name like the plague or make that the first name out of commemoration.
Making it the middle name is a bastard mix of half measures.
I was going to say I think if she said something like could I name my baby after yours it wouldn't be as bad
Dead baby lady doesn't own the name. She needs to move on and be happy for her friend. The dead baby is lucky it didn't have her as a mom.
Why is there a Budweiser on the Lotus Eaters set?
Update: Just saw the second one. You guys plan on growing your hair out and tucking it back?
Good catch
What the hell, guys?
That's the Czech Budweiser, not the American one, as far as I can tell.
One is a can of boiled piss with some foam and the other one comes from Budvar.
Both are shit, drink spirts like a man
2D Clone Wars is great.
3D The Clone Wars is an insulting, canon-rending nightmare that cannot fit within the continuity of either the EU or even Disney Wars.

Great thought provoking reflections on meditation, prayer and Confeasion, Connor.
Nevermind Harry, he’s got a hard time following a thread longer than his shoe-lace.
Prayer is arguably the laziest way of saying you did something
A Redditor is someone who is simultaneously at 11-year-old-levels of maturity development, veteran-hoodrat-tier cultural taste and historical knowledge tempered with all the worst paraphilias and worldviews that there could ever exist. It's overwhelmingly american, so that makes sense.
Before I saw Carl dryly pontificate on the ideals of heroism, I saw very artistic and in depth examinations of the very idea of what a hero is on Adventure Time. That odd little cartoon dives into mysticism, religion, identity, and many other weighty subjects so effortlessly, you'll have to rewind it and watch again before it fully sinks in. It's quite a mind-trip. The first season starts very light, laying out the environment, and the subsequent seasons go down a rabbit hole of thought that is mind blowing. And it's never preacher or heavy handed. It's subtle very and ingenious.
Adventure Time was fantastic in so many ways.
Regular Show S-tier show/comic
There's a reason why people call them pRedditors...
They don't ask am i wrong?, they ask who else does this? If enough people do it, its not wrong, this isn't based on morality its based on majority
Best dressed podcast. Gives me something to aim for.
I have seen so many of these that I just can not believe that some of these are from real people. I have seen some along the lines of "my kid gets A's in school but plays video games, what should I do?" All I can think is, How is this real?
you have no idea how deep the abyss of stupidity is
Oh. Is this the new set? Cozy look lads.
Honestly the My Little Piny show in the early seasons was pretty watchable because it was pretty funny. And some of the lessons it was trying to teach were like...actual good lessons for people to learn.
