The Daria-esque Hey Arnold! spinoff idea The Patakis is my #1 "why didn't this happen!?" pop-culture thing. Not only is that probably my favourite fictional family (and favourite character in Helga) because I related SO much, it probably would've even been my Daria, as one of those teenage-year defining pieces of…

Tough to look like a bigger asshole than the people here in Tampa.

I love (((Sunn))))))!

I think Scott Pilgrim featured the chords and the instruction to play as sloppy as possible.

Perhaps Muslim governments that may or may not be currently awful in ways I'd like to forget, but that isn't true for Muslim Americans. Plus, she was also a woman.

…or a playwright or a poet or a short story writer…

I think I've seen or heard most of these examples in my own bad times, but the one I know I can never revisit no matter how depressed I could ever hypothetically get is that 9/11 building collapse call. Like, he knows it's happening when he yells, and that's what makes it all the worse. 911 calls that record the…

Oh my god, I never thought of that. That's totally what's happening.

Whereas Black Belt Jones is legitimately awesome.

Wouldn't it be nice if this was over / Then we wouldn't have to wait so long / And wouldn't it be nice to see minorities / Feel they're in a world where they belong

Is it worse that you're putting words in their mouth or that you're joining them in gendering tired genre fiction?

This reminds me of my time at Vivint, which keeps its door-to-door security and internet of shit sales by having the installation happen IMMEDIATELY after by a tech also in the area. Their sales team's success is at least half due to those invasive installs at like 9:30pm. I hesitate to describe it as convincing vs…

First half: here are a bunch of self-serving, terrible assumptions I have about people that belittle everyone involved
Second half: Can you believe how this guy just makes self-serving assumptions belittling others like that with nothing to go on!?

I mean, after learning the guy that wrote outsider acceptance tales like Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead thinks and acts like he does, this just doesn't surprise me.

I was curious, so I did a quick check on the demographics. Portland is pretty white! And not that black. There's a larger Asian population than a black population, and I didn't know that was possible as someone who grew up in Florida.

Oh man, I forgot that running bit. I need to find that supercut.

If I recall, the guy took to bicycling hardcore. He looks fantastic.

That positive outlook was one of the reasons I loved it. It centered on mostly cynical, poor mobile home dwellers, but the point of view the show presented was very not-cynical, almost… uplifting?

It's not the people in cheaper, older clothing that blatantly don't wash hands in the restroom, I've learned that.

I don't care for Zombie's other films or music or anything, but yeah, I really liked Devil's Rejects, and yeah, I'm not a horror film person. It was a really funny film where EVERYBODY was reprehensible and amoral, so even the horror-y moments in the second half were lightened by the fact that it's awful people…
