That was it. Thank you, and rats....
At least old-school arranged marriages had the benefit that the involved would likely eventually bond over their mutual struggle to survive. Nowadays, nobody could be bothered to tough things out when they get stressful or the "spark" goes away, even when "true love" is involved.
Why can I never remember the name of that website that counts down to and archives all of the failed doomsday predictions the Climate Clergy keep prophesying?
Reddit doesn't own the Mathematician's Yes.
Maybe I'm naive, but I don't think that a governing body that is actively malicious towards its own citizens counts as "your people" anymore.
They know it, and that's why Jan 6th is their boogeyman.
I mean, getting thrown into the meat-grinder is saying goodbye to your life forever. Might as well be a wrench in the cogs on the way down.
This is from quite a while back, so SpongeBob probably hadn't finished ruining Tom Kenny's voice yet.
Okay, so they're talking about sexually deviant, biological males being more likely to have AIDS.
I know the answer to that one. Can I have 8 million dollars?
Sees Black Man in Utonium's Lab, making the girls
They wouldn't.
Mojo-Jojo is actually a boring-looking white guy and his kid
Ah. Natch.
In all seriousness, it's kind of strange that this show was a bridge too far for the Modern Audience crowd. It looks like exactly the kind of "Adult" show that feels the need to suck all the innocence, humor and fun out of its source material. If you're so damn afraid of being associated with a cartoon, then DON'T ADAPT A FUCKING CARTOON.
That stupid Antlion Badnik boss was impossible as a kid. The game is lucky Underground Zone's theme is such a bop, because nobody ever gets past it.
The mafia of this era.
Sounds pretty corporate brained to me.
Which is so stupid. Mega Man 11 sold millions on a modest budget. But Capcom won't make 12, or X9 because they HAVE to make high-risk megahits for megabucks, for some corporate-brained reason.
hahahahahahahaha
It's the same reason girls suck at everything in the west. They're coddled and told they can do no wrong while having no lived experiences worth noting, so they produce nothing but self-interested, boring Mary Sues.
Rising of The Shield Hero is "What if a guy got isekai'd, but the princess Me Too'd him because she's a bitch and now everyone hates his guts even though he's innocent so he has to pull himself up by the bootstraps."
There's more to it than that, but that's the hook that got everyone's attention.
Pretty dang bad. That being said, it has been patched since release, so it's apparently better than the trash fire it was at launch. Even still, you'd probably better off sailing the high seas on a dolphin if you want to feel the colors.
And Sonic Colors Ultimate is one of the BAD ports, so that's really saying something.
Whorra is cursed to be Eternally;Ridiculed. And rightly so.
It really says something that modern writers constantly, consistently and obliviously write scenarios that make their Mary Sue protagonists out to be horrible people despite how perfect and lovable they're supposed to be.
Zero standards, zero morals, zero reason to care about.
That's just standard Mary Sue writing. Perceived as flawless by the writer while any reader with a brain can see how unpleasant they are.
Yeah. LithoLaunch kind of missed the mark on this one. The problem isn't that minorities exist in a story. The problem is that minorities get shoehorned where they make no sense, and are made to be blatant Mary Sues that can do no wrong, further highlighting their out of placeness.
At least some people have the decency to save their vods. It's still not the same thing as a properly curated LP, with scripted commentary, though.
I used to watch a lot of Let's Plays. Nowadays, they're a dying breed. I'd be hard pressed to name a channel I watch regularly that does that kind of gameplay. Kind of a shame....
It really says something when basic human decency (ACTUAL basic human decency, not the kowtowing they demand) is the high-bar for heroism to these people.
But what can you expect from people who are accustomed to getting accolades just for showing up?
