Except it just goes in a circle.

Dog people are weird.

You shouldn’t repeat rumors you heard without any actual evidence at hand to back them up. That’s just baseless gossip. It’s poison spewing from your mouth to the ears of anyone who hears you.

I’ve also read convincing theories that he was on the spectrum, which could explain a lot of his challenges interacting with people, as well as his obsessive tendencies.

3 comedy points.

Who sneezed on my beans?

Yeah I think I’ll just light a match.

Yes.

This meme tickled me.

During the summer months, I try to get in a few sessions a week of reading in the hammock with a cold drink. It’s a challenge to fit it in after work and before dinner, and some days are too hot, or rainy, or smoky, or the neighbors are loud, etc, but when I can make it work, even for a half hour or so, it’s a little slice of paradise just for me that keeps me sane.

I have yet to find an equivalent for the winter, but I won’t deny that I’ve measured for hooks to hang the hammock in the bedroom…

So you’re saying we should switch to a .exe domain…

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.

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

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.

You are not alone.

Appeal it and say it was a mistake, and be contrite and apologetic. You might catch an admin on a good day.

Risky click

Fair enough, I just see enough obvious staged videos as it is, and it’s not my bag. But you do you. Cheers.

Ah yes, the common rejoinder against the critic class by the poor creator.
