It's been done apparently. CPS in North Carolina from a previous complaint found child abuse but CPS in Maryland disagreed. Since they live in Maryland nothing happened though.

Well the dad posted a video of the mother having a meltdown on twitter while he plays audio from a phone, which I think sounds like they're trying to lawyer up. Can't say I feel sorry for them. They're loving scum.

Gonna be reviewing the new series of Doctor Who. Here's my video on "The Pilot."

I just got done watching the premiere like half an hour ago and I'd say that review is pretty spot on. Though it's pretty much stated straight up in the closing minutes that Heather's gonna be coming back eventually with that "Maybe we'll find her out there somewhere" line. But, who knows maybe she won't.

I'm kind of disappointed that the rest of Pearl Mackie's character reveal scene from last year wasn't in the episode. Seeing the full context of that little snippet, yeah it would drag the scene on too long, but that "Is there a Dalek in the back with no gun and two suckers and it's really hacked off? :haw:" line is just loving priceless.

I’m a former divorce lawyer. There are lots and lots of parents who think that this Daddy of 5 stuff is both hilarious and entirely appropriate, because they view their children as extensions of themselves: if I think this is funny, then my child must think this is funny as well.

Bonus sad divorce lawyer story! My client and her husband got into an argument shortly before Christmas. On Christmas Eve, after the kids went to bed, husband gathered up all the toys under the Christmas tree and drove them to the city dump. The next morning, the children awoke to find their father, who explained, “Santa didn’t come this year because Mommy was bad.”

Actually, Hbombguy's video was for entertainment purposes, not intended to be taken seriously, merely provoking and slyly observing within character, and definitely not just talking out of his rear end for an hour https://curiouscat.me/Hbomberguy/post/135486811?t=1492394149

hbomb always sounds like that no matter who he's talking to, if he's given time to write a script/post. Hence why he was generally an argumentative shitposter in this thread until he started posting content on youtube regularly. Like he can be very funny and even make excellent points, but if there is a pedantic argument hole around, eh will jump into it and wallow in it for hours.

That is of course why he is the best internet critic.

I agree with most of this too, nice video! I haven't watched Who since Capaldi's first few episodes and I absolutely loved this new episode. Bill is great. The whole thing was delightful. And I like Nardole, but I'm always way happier with three in the TARDIS just for how it shifts the dynamics. Of course I've never seen him before so I might just be liking Matt Lucas.

Hbombs vid seemed to be him explaining why he personally disagrees with the rabbit disease guy. He just did it whilst sounding like he thinks his interpretation is objectively true whilst everyone else is dumb and wrong. Basically he stole Stewart Lee's thing.

It sounded to me like hbomb was trying not only come off as trying to be objective in the Ds2 review, since he went off on a couple of "it's OK if you don't agree" tangents throughout the video.

I've never played a dark souls game, but hbomb's critiques of dark souls 2 sounded pretty compelling. I'm not sure how much of what he enjoys about the game was intentional by the developers, but we all know about hbomb's opinion on authors and their subsequent murder by The Public.

Nardole's been in the last two Christmas specials, but it's kind of like he's a different character so far at least compared to how he acts in The Husbands of River Song. I haven't seen the last special so I don't know what he's like there. But for the most part I did enjoy Nardole's new role of basically the Kif Kroker to the Doctor's Zapp Brannigan.

"It was just a meta prank, bro!" is probably the least surprising defense they could have leaned on. If true,* those kids need to be get into acting because they've got serious acting chops.

Ah yes, like the very scripted parts where the other kid is sitting on him and bending the glasses boy's back back so hard it looked like it he would probably snap.

Or the broken technology.

Or traumatizing them thinking their mom's dead in that purge thing and whatever else.

They were definitely "acting" I mean it's obvious.
