What is the purpose of region blocking YouTube videos, particularly by big companies like Disney or HBO? Are the corporations treated differently by YouTube? Do they not get to monetize and instead have to pay Google for hosting, and therefore clicks from outside of the USA somehow generate fees? Unless this is the…

I’m in the greys so I’m glad I didn’t have to scroll down for years to make sure somebody posted Lindsay’s video! Yay!

Dammit I love Babylon 5 so much.

All the handmaids have names that are similar to that, but it’s not that her name is “off red”, it’s actually “of Fred”. She’s the handmaid of Fred--that’s how the handmaid’s new names work. “Of[dude]”. There’s also “Ofglen” and “Oferic”.

Ah! Yes, that’s it! Is it a cover, I wonder, or just the vocals slowed down and the background music altered? I love music, but my “ear” for it--nuances, technical stuff, etc--is awful.

I also find it fascinating that the one (and only, if I recall correctly) time Zeus fancied a dude, he kidnapped the guy and took him to Mount Olympus to be his cup-bearer.

If McDonald’s is only a place for teenagers to get a job, why can one go there at hours when teenagers should be at school or in bed so that they can go to school?

I’m playing DA:I again right now, after replaying DA2. And while there are a lot of “there’s a treasure to be found here!” sidequests, there are a number of sidequest storylines that... are actually storylines. They tie together from the Hinterlands to the Exalted Plains to the Emerald Graves to Emprise du Lion to the…

So if you wouldn’t be comfortable with your daughter sharing a bathroom with this individual:

Wildly switching gears into complete sincerity: I am so sorry about Caillou.

I’m sad that you can’t read my accent on the Internets, friend. :( So, so sad.

No, no, we’re good. Thanks, though.

I’m under the impression that most of these people think that Sailor Moon’s name is actually “Serena” and not “Usagi Tsukino”.

I always gave chiropractors a lot of side-eye, but what sealed the deal for me was my cousin’s chiropractor convincing her not to vaccinate her children and then telling her that she (the chiropractor) was the only one who could treat the family when they all (my cousin, her husband, their children, and my aunt) came…

I will be 35 in just over a month.

Oh, I wish I could take credit for “freeze peach”. Alas, I cannot. I can’t even remember where I was the first time I read it, but I’ve seen it all over the place now. Take it! Use it! Let it spread! It’s hilarious.

I wonder what the Venn diagram looks like re: people who shriek and howl about their freeze peach and the people who shriek and howl about actors/comedians/musicians/writers having and expressing political opinions?

The complaints about the fight between Rey and Ren... good lord. I can’t believe people are still going on about it.

I’m not alone!

So, so many attidues and pre-conceived notions changed once there were people in my life who are teachers and school admin. My God, how wrong I was about so many things and how much more I sympathise with them and realise how much they go through and how much the teachers, in particular, actually work.
