PETA isn't a psyop but they aren't a particularly accurate or widespread representation of vegetarians or vegans

No they are a psyop. They're funded or set up or at least in some way supported by the CIA to discredit environmentalism and veganism. And they've been incredibly successful.

Whey protein powder in oatmeal is gross and I don't understand how people eat it regularly.

It tastes like chocolate flavored playdoh.

Savory oats with meat, vegetables and salt/pepper/garlic is superior in every way to the sugary slop most people eat.

I really want a comedy based on all the CIA’s ridiculously over the top ideas to kill Fidel Castro.

Yeah, try and blow up a giant clam to kill him while he’s scuba diving, that’ll really work.

Okay let's pretend you and a close knit group of guys are in charge of a massive cocaine operation. Also you have zero oversight and literally no one is looking over your shoulder. No expectations or accountability. Every now and then you are given bonkers missions but will never actually have to accomplish them. Also you are given unlimited money - again, with no one following where it goes.

I am convinced the late 50's - 70's CIA was just like hollywood of the same time period. Just a bunch of insular weirdos flying on cocaine all the time coming up with stupid ideas and throwing blank checks at every single one.

The first level of the first CODBLOPS game has you going to kill Castro, but it turns out you killed a body double, you get captured and shipped to Vorkuta in Siberia and stage a massive :black101: breakout.

I watched a lot of Futurama at a shared flat at uni and i laughed exactly once in one of the early episodes where the squid doctor mininterprits something Fry said.

I was mostly constantly stoned back then and even then that show was dire

Cloying is exactly the correct word for it. Not to mention most people have lost pets, so it's a real safe bet that making an episode about a pet dying and really loving their owner is a super easy way to score emotional points. So it's kind of lazy on top of it all.

I like pre-cancelation Futurama, but Jurassic Bark was by far my least favorite episode of that era. Also, I think I liked the idea of a holophoner more than I actually liked The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings, because I hate Fry & Leela as a couple.

JollyBoyJohn posted:

See, when I'm stoned, I laugh really hard at even the slightest comedy. However, I had a minor freakout while watching Tom Goes to the Mayor with friends because they were laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world and I couldn't find any humor whatsoever in it.

I haven’t been able to get into the revival ones, but I think a large part of that is that I’m kind of expecting them to be disappointing.

Though the eye phone/Susan Boyle episode was dire.
