    plenty of people have said shitty things about that ice bucket challenge

    The complaints I've heard most about it are:

    1. Doesn't create any long-lasting solutions (which fundraising efforts by themselves do though?)
    2. Wastes a lot of fresh water when a lot of the world doesn't have any, which, eh, could be legitimate?
    3. arglebargle

    1. I thought I read it has raised a ton of money?
    2. Wasting "x" when "y" doesn't have it is a rabbit hole with no bottom.
    3. Yeah, pretty much.

    Note - If 1 is false, then while it's a nice try, yeah, didn't do much. Not worth being upset about (IMO, of course).

    I didn't bother watching the video of my brother doing the challenge. Sure watching Kermit the Frog, Vince McMahon, Weird Al and Bill Gates get drenched was entertaining but I certainly don't need to watch a dozen of my facebook friends dump water on their heads.

  • Bluedude152Bluedude152 Registered User regular
    Most of the people complaining about water seem to live in either

    1) The desert
    2) Places with water restrictions

    So I mean it make sense to complain about people there doing it

    But that's not really a issue everywhere else

    if you pour that water on your head and it goes on the ground it doesn't all of a sudden stop existing as water permanently

    Yeah California in particular is in super drought mode and that's where the water wasting response seems to have begun

    Yeah, even if you go with the derp that is normally from these kind of cartoons, I can't imagine anyone would publicly hate on that whole ice bucket challenge thing.

    man people have been doing that in these very forums from the beginning.

    I guess I hadn't noticed! Still doesn't seem like a worthwhile thing to get upset over, but free planet, etc.

    Though as I said, my opinion on it depends very much on whether or not they actually were able to raise a decent sum of money.

    I know in the first week of it, they raised way more (if I quoted an actual figure I would be lying) than they normally do in that time period other years. I think the consensus is that it has been an enormously successful fundraising gimmick.

    The reason you don't see many child-wizards is wizards need to do a lot of grown-up business like drink a lot of coffee.

    Question: Do we know why Shelly is crying? Was a childhood trauma ever referenced in Bobbins or Scary-Go-Round?

    seems likely that the "pheasant" hit was very much not a pheasant.

    I read that as Neuroshima Sex for a second there and, with the dead body, figured it was some kind of word zombie fetish.

    So this is a spooky comic about a fictional town and a group of friends, and maybe it’ll have its own site if I keep up with it. It doesn’t even have a name yet. This is Lara and Marjory. I have no set plans. I just want to have fun with it, and with them.
