  • Interesting how times change and now they’re simply money grubbing assholes that don’t care about locking content behind paywalls? Fuck em. They’re fucking corporate suits like anyone else now.

    Little strong, but hey, I’m with you ultimately.

    They don’t get to hide from the endless stream of copycat “adult” cartoons that all try to out-offend each other. They’re all trash and none of them have ever equaled what South Park originally brought to the table.

    Yea, a lot of newer adult animations like say Brickleberry and Crash Canyon really suck. But South Park is just a part of that story. The Filntstones, Jetsons, Simpsons, Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill all predated it and Family Guy, American Dad came out not long after.






  • I don’t truly know what happens to us after death but I believe it’s likely nothing so I want to have as much of something as possible. As I heard once, suicide is a permanent solution to what can only be a temporary problem. We all die in the end anyway.

    Also, as far as lives go mine is pretty good. At least I think so. I don’t have any health problems, I have a job that pays more than enough for me to live comfortably, a house with a lot of possessions I like in it, and a cat.

    It could be better. There’s a few things I can think of that would improve it. Some are pretty much impossible and some would be very difficult but there’s some that are probably within my reach, I’m just not putting in the effort to try to attain them.






  • Mostly more of what I do in my free time now. Mess around trying to make music, watch TV and movies, play video games, read, watch live music, go on hikes and spend time with my family.

    I don’t understand the people who say they’d be bored if they didn’t work. I have more than enough media alone to keep me busy, never mind the amount of things I could pick up or at least try in the extra time. Maybe I’d learn to code and contribute to some open source projects.

    The difference would be it would all be on my own terms and truly at my own leisure.







  • I think if it turns out that most animals are able to communicate to the same level humans are we’ll end up with conflict between meat eaters and vegans, at least for a few generations.

    • If we’ve already got affordable lab grown meat options it’ll probably just be old people who don’t trust lab meat or aren’t really able to comprehend that we can talk to animals and nobody will take them seriously.
    • People would probably protest or maybe take direct action if we don’t have affordable lab meat but may eventually be placated if insects are unable to communicate and we develop convincing meat like insect protein forms.
    • But if we don’t have either of those alternatives I think that there could be a straight up war between (probably religious zealot) meat eaters and vegans.
    • This conflict would die out with subsequent generations but there may still be a “real” meat black market.

    But imagine if we can employ an animal to help us say build a house or a ship. It could change our lives entirely.
