Mechafunkzilla posted:I'm not sure if Canada has the same kind of racial grievance politics that exists in the US that need to be leveraged to get a Trump elected. We don't, but our current PM is doing stuff like apologizing to LGBT and First Nations peoples for past mistreatment, and we're going to be legalizing weed this summer, so the stage is set for our right wing to get all riled up and elect a shittier Trump in a few years who just undoes as much progress as possible. Until then, we'll have to settle for idiots wearing Trump hats despite being in one of the nations Trump wants to gently caress.

Not to start an animaniacs derail (actually that sounds pretty fun) but... I don't get it. It kinda feels like Yakko and Wakko are the butt of the joke there.

Dot oggles dudes all the time in that show though. The brothers do it more, but they played both sides with the gag, at least.

I can see the headlines from the Onion if Moore wins Moore wins Alabama Senate Race! Multiple pages hospitalized with eye injuries after Nose Goes “Suzy said ‘not it’ too early!” claims multiple anonymous sources.

Aramis posted:"Boys just can't help it but leer at women, it's what's expected of them". Is a terrible thing to be teaching children. I don't really think that's the lesson. I mean, you can see the embarassment on Dot and kinda the point of all three of them is that they have no impulse control whatsoever. I really don't think it's problematic except insofar as showing anything hinting at sexuality to children is problematic (and the censors in this country are pretty draconian with that sort of thing, especially in the nineties. ) Like, kids are not supposed to find it any more acceptable than we do. Would you also argue that, I don't know, Tom and Jerry normalizes violence or bugs bunny is racist? Well yes, probably, but that rabbit hole never actually ends until you've censored all media. Edit: or dot just doesn't understand what the boys are looking at which, while it takes some wind out of my argument, is even funnier.

Oracle posted:I will note Alabama just got a few inches of snow in a kind of freak storm hitting a lot of the south right now (MS got several inches also, it's below freezing in Texas) and weather is likely to depress turnout (though this will more than likely be gone by Tues). So keep an eye on the forecast for Election Day. A lot of people believe that Doug Jones will only win when hell freezes over. Let it snow.

If it's a Romance or Germanic language you should be roundly mocked. If it's not Indo-European it's fine.

Probably. Start going out more. Move to a sketchy neighborhood. I’m a cheap skate and I hate waspy soccer moms so I’ve always lived in the places that make other white people go “...why would you live there?” and “that’s a bad part of town right?” My favorite was “that part of towns a little dark if you know what I mean” No, what ever do you mean? loving people.

It doesn't really matter if this involves joining some Warhammer club for supernerds, or playing in a band or sports team, or just going down a local bar and having a few beers and feeling like an awkward loner. Be less online

The animators were also told they drew the women too sexy, in some cases having to erase the line the gave them cleavage. Some of the early episodes you can see it if you look close enough there's a different shade of coloe that doesn't completely match

But I wasn't allowed to watch most contemporary animation, anyway.

Join a club, any club. The Dutch will follow. On topic: I was wondering whether Americans realize how often stuff from your country is in the news in Europe. For example, a Dutch article about that shooting in Arizona, including the video, on a mainstream newspaper's website. And an article about Franken's resignation and the Alabama race. Trump is in the news daily, ofcourse.
