    proving once again that real life satanists are lame as hell

    they're not very edgy but they're the ones who used that bullshit religious freedom law to force that state to put a statue of Baphomet out so, they're okay by me

    Anyone who puts a statue of a goatman out is like baseline okay by me.

    They're the same thing as the flying spaghetti monster people, they just got a better name attached to 'em

    I want to like them for the Baphomet statue thing

    But they're actually just the most irritating atheists when you look directly at them

    The Most Irritating Atheists is a high bar to clear.

    I need to read more into it. But it's literally the exact same statue that just got put in front of the Arkansas Capitol Building. So if they didn't ask or compensate the artist who made it or whoever owns it that is pretty shitty.

    Oh yeah, from looking at the two statues it's pretty clearly infringement.

    Yeah, on a scale from 1 to Dawkins, how irritating are they?

    Is Dawkins really the peak? I mean, Ricky Gervais exists

    I mean, if Dawkins isn't the top prize he certainly placed.

    Dawkins has a lot of decent political opinions mixed in with the shit. The "Prominent Atheist" community includes people who legit carry water for nazis.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    yeah like Sam Harris

    The God Delusion is actually a pretty interesting book with a lot of fascinating science in it, occasionally punctuated with a rant about religion.

    I am now on that King of the Hill tip, I haven't watched it in years and years

    as a kid I always thought the joke was Boomhauer was basically Chewbacca, you couldn't understand anything he said but the characters could

    now as an adult he's...perfectly intelligible? he's just mealy-mouthed and doesn't really finish his thoughts, but he's actually contributing to conversations, people just kinda ignore him

    I tried to watch some when I was home sick, because it's a show I really liked but almost never actually managed to catch while it was airing on Australian networks, so yay marathon! - and, well

    Let's say Dale's ranting about globalists is less quirky nowadays. The show is still as good hearted as it always was, but right now I'm not sure I'm in the place for it.

    A lot of Hank's conservative shit is a lot harder to deal with too. Like at the end of the day it doesn't matter that he's the butt of the joke most of the time and that he keeps learning to be less shitty, I still see the way he acts whenever Bobby does literally anything not toxically masculine and just think of the apoplectic fit he'd have if Bobby actually came out to him as queer.

    I think Hank would be fine with that even if it took him a bit.
    He interacts with several Queer people on the show and he never condemns them. At worst he genuinely just seems confused about their lifestyle but I attribute that to his repression about sexuality.

    Dale is legitimately mentally ill though. They address this in at least one episode

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Bobby would probably be "one of the good ones". Or basically whatever happened between Dick Cheney and his daughter Mary.

    Yeah, my dad was basically Boomhauer so I guess I was trained early on to translate.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    This New Yorker article about the Haunting of Hill House show probably does a better job of explaining some of my feelings with how it relates to the book than I could.

    It's still a show I enjoyed nine episodes of, but that sour taste that the tenth left in my mouth is one that makes me wonder if I was drinking spoiled milk all along.

    Okay idea for a band name, though.

    You know what? Nanowrimo's cancelled on account of the world is stupid.

    I just wanted to come back here to say I had to watch the last five minutes of sunny again and I think it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen on television.

    Alright, I watched the Always Sunny finale

    I can't say how sure I am how much they earned that, but I certainly won't say it wasn't strangely moving

    also it reminded me that Danny DeVito is 75 dang years old

    I've had some time off and I'm trying to move to a different sleep schedule, which is to say I've watched, uh, 84 episodes of Steven Universe, and it's good, it's a good show

    Hey, anybody want a movie sequel to a one-season cartoon that ran in the mid-80s and still had a big dangling plot thread?

    Because I do...

    Fuck yes!

    I use to watch this over and over when I was a kid. And hey look, it's Flim Flam!

    Ok now do a Pirates of Dark Water movie

    Superstore is good at that funny but way too real place
