I'll second the recommendation - it's a very cute, sweet movie, and I really enjoyed the music.

It's tough not to react badly when people interrupt my sleep. I'm trying to be better about it, because with babies and small children that sort of thing is inevitable, but calling someone in the middle of the night to try and scam them is pretty inexcusable. I'm similarly still annoyed with the girl who decided to…

My mom bought some from one of my high school classmates. Not someone I knew personally (it was a big school), but her family had been in the papers a couple years prior. There'd been an incident that had left most of her immediate family either in jail or dead, so mom knew she could probably use some money and so…

The one I love that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in the thread is Simon and Marceline on Adventure Time. It's heartbreaking, but also very touching, the way he sacrificed his mind to protect her, and now she does her best to be there for him.

It's one of the rare cases of a truly realistic portrayal of good (but flawed and human) parents. It's so easy for the parents, especially in shows that are primarily focused on the kids' POV, to be stereotypes, straw men, or just barriers to whatever the kid wants.

My worst was when someone took a dump in the parking lot and stuck a cigar in the middle of it. Not as bad, but like yours, it showed some intention to it, which is more upsetting. You can't convince yourself that someone just lost control of a bodily function and slunk off in horror/shame afterwards.

I didn't think anyone but newborns could do that. We did have to make a poop shield for my baby's changing table, but I thought that was sort of an outlier.

I had a boss forget my end date, although the circumstances were a bit more frustrating. My husband and I were both leaving the company (we'd met there), but we'd set different end dates, because I had to leave earlier to get started on packing (and because, y'know, we're not the same person). My boss didn't notice…

I think Adventure Time is and will continue to serve sort of the way The Daily Show did - TDS might be past its heyday now, but we got Samantha Bee, Stephen Colbert, John Oliver, and a lot of other great comedians and shows out of it. I'd *love* to see another Over the Garden Wall -type thing. It seems like that was…

Maybe kabuki instead?

Fair enough - I've just seen people making those sorts of accusations in the comments for every Amy Schumer-related thing, so I assumed that was who you meant. Handler isn't someone I follow so much, so can't comment on her work.

He's specifically complaining about Amy Schumer. I don't think that I've ever seen anything like that in her sketch show, but I'm assuming it's based on some older standup bits or something.

I really loved Samantha Bee's rant about how much the news outlets let Trump slide on in their efforts to appear unbiased. If you treat behavior from one candidate differently than you'd treat that behavior from the other, *that's* bias.

Yeah, I thought that was weird too - they thought to include the time, even, but not the date.

It doesn't make it not true - it's just, we keep thinking that we've managed to find the worst possible candidate for the presidency, and then in the next election they somehow manage to scrape someone worse off the bottom of that barrel.

That sucks. Hopefully the therapy sessions are at least somewhat helpful.

If ISIS were really hoping to attack us by seeding the refugees with terrorists, that plan wouldn't be very well served by making public threats to that end. ISIS makes vows like that because scaring us into not helping the refugees is their goal. It plays into their hands by making us act in cowardly, selfish ways…

I'm a little confused by your second paragraph. Are you for real? If I just misunderstood a joke, then sorry for this next part.

Yeah, all that hand mixing sounds like a lot of work when I can just go to the farm stand down the street and get a pint of peanut butter oreo.

That one, at least, actually is a pretty good deal. Guillotine is nice for when you're playing with kids, because it's interesting, but the mechanics of it are simple enough to understand easily, and the silliness of the art and game mechanics engage the kids. Sort of similar to Unexploded Cow.
