It's not really that dumb. I just like giving batman poo poo because I've seen his origin story in every batman movie, and they all try to put in some little bit that makes their version unique or gives it some special added emotion.

Like when I watched BvS, I actually laughed out loud and then called myself an idiot for even considering that they might not show batman's origin in a movie with batman in it.

I think a still of the crime alley scene was one of the very first things Snyder put out for the film, which made me groan because boy am I tired of seeing crime alley.

If I slept in the same bed as an infant, i would 100% roll over and crush them. Or knock them out of bed. Or strangle them with the blanket.

I'm never having children.

Someday I might get my own dog.

Or a cat.

edit: ^ I have this concept in my brain, about a time in the future, where Crime Alley starts to challenge The Crucifixion in volume of artistic portrayals. Obviously it won't be any time soon, but if we survive the next millennium, it could happen.

I just watched a short interview with a disembodied giraffe head in a swimming pool in the sky. A motionless cowboy appeared, watched the interview for a little bit and then zoomed away. Again, completely motionless.

I have also seen an interview with a pinky from DOOM inside of a late 90's rainbow fractal screensaver. And an interview between a disembodied horse's head and a disembodied woman's head on a lovely, low poly train traveling through a low poly environment.

Avatara owns.

Most laptops are designed like poo poo. Might have good hardware, a nice screen, but actually typing or using them seems more frustrating and limiting the newer the model. I had to eliminate 90% of all the candidates for my laptop because none of them had physical buttons to use for mouse clicks.

after a lot of research, I settled on a lenovo Thinkpad T440 (this was before superfish scandal). They keyboard is nice. Screen has a horrible design flaw where the back of the screen can touch the inside of the lcd if even gentle pressure is applied to it, and this resulted in a light spot in the middle of the screen within months. Touchpad is a disataster. it's one giant button, but it uses the touch part of it to determine whether you're right clicking or normal clicking. The slightest hit of humidity makes it unusable. As a thinkpad, it still has nub in the keyboad that you can use, which I do. But because it still uses the touchpad to determing if I'm right or left clicking, I still can't use it all the time. As soon as my thumb gets the slightest bit sweaty, I can't use the mouse at all and have to plug in a USB mouse. It's garbage.

Entertainment Weekly broke the story and claimed to have gotten it straight from Nickelodeon, and even if they're tacky as gently caress they're a decently reliable source, so I'm getting the feeling this just means they haven't called him about it. :smith:

I'm pretty sure that's his "studying intently" face.

But I am not thrilled at his inclusion in the movie at all.

I was gonna say, ain't no way anything is happening at least with Jhonen's involvement.

Although, I would get a slight sick kick out of a live action Zim movie done the same way they did that Fairly Odd Parents movie. Clancy Brown as Zim, reprising his iconic role.

Today I found out that, in the eyes of the internet, sleeping in the same bed as your infant or toddler is tantamount to child endangerment because you might roll on it in the night.

I mean... you're wrong?

America and Great Britain are EXTREMELY paranoid about this, despite extensive anthropological research (and the basic experience of 90+% of the human population now and throughout history) saying it's safe. People will get extremely weird about it. We're also really uptight about breastfeeding, especially for very long, despite most cultures historically not weaning until 2-4 years of age.

Spatulater bro! posted:

Older infants and toddlers are probably okay, but it's pretty widely known that sleeping with a newborn is a big no-no. Not just due to the risk of you rolling on them, but any blankets, sheets and pillows pose suffocation risks.

This is "widely known" in the US and also widely bullshit. With a few exceptions (heavy blankets, extremely overweight parents, people with drug problems, extremely long hair) it simply isn't true The Notre Dame Mother-Baby Behavior Sleep Laboratory run by James McKenna is the absolute authority on these kinds of issues. For the overwhelming majority of families this a cultural choice, not a safety choice.

Yeah, there's a reason SIDS rates have fallen pretty dramatically, and it's this and back sleeping.

SIDS by definition does not include smothering deaths (though a lot of smothering deaths are probably rolled into SIDS statistics because doctors don't want to make the parents upset).
