Definitely the wrong metric. I would include Office Space and Idiocracy somewhere on my list, though neither has much LOL material. But they're comedies and they're brilliant. It's not always about LOL.

But without them, neither movie happens. Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

I liked it. It was weird and original. Yes it was ugly but there was a point to that.

We're all aware of the dictionary. What a vibrant response though, nice work.

The whole reason I mentioned it is some guy called an argument vibrant— an argument about gender backlash. I suppose that also could be "filled with energy and life," or filled with genuine vibration from all the shouting, but it's hardly a neighborhood I'd want to live in. How many different things can a word mean…

But one of those meanings is so figurative that it's analytically worthless.

But that definition is so vague it could include a bio-weapons factory or a railroad switchyard, as both are brimming with energy and life. But neither is desirable in a trendy neighborhood. The term is empty, it conveys no information of value, it's just something people say to sound smart.

But there are better ways to explain that. Particularly for city planners, who say it all the time. They're supposed to have a more precise understanding of what's going on, an understanding beyond trite poetry. If the desired effect doesn't literally involve vibration, what does it involve? Half of them couldn't…

There goes your insurance.

Technically it's like that Toby Keith show in Saudi Arabia. Contextually not so much, but we try to avoid having different laws for different people. Big can of worms there.

I hate how people say "vibrant" when vibration has nothing to do with it. Like "what a vibrant neighborhood." You better hope it isn't, if you're eating lunch there. Go home and learn more words.

They put the new Flash and Supergirl seasons on Netflix so I've been doing that.

My friend once had a pet rat that was bred to grow tumors. Toward the end, it looked more like a pet tumor that was growing a rat.

We were looking for a block of flats.

Technically the government does what we tell it to.

I love how every other male animal gets along fine but human males are unclean without mutilation.

It's been noted that the Scooby-verse must have undergone an economic collapse since there are so many abandoned whatevers and so many people consumed with absurd schemes to make money.

I really liked the first series.

I don't know any of her songs but I think she's great, the way she's handling this. Count me as a fan!

As he should
