Some people during the Dutch tulip mania ended up eating their tulip bulbs (either because they'd lost all their money, or to spite others) but can you eat a bored ape?

My brain temporarily broke at the idea of having to shove 8 quarters into one of those locking mechanisms, but then I remembered saner countries have done away with paper dollar bills.

Dude's wrong and right at the same time. If tulip bulbs had been something inherently valuable there wouldn't have been a famous economic bubble involving them. Vincent Van Goatse has a new favorite as of 20:59 on Jun 5, 2022 |

Dr. Stab posted:Please ask them what I do when the guy is rounding up the carts as I go to put mine in the corral. Do I just leave it there outside the corral for him, or do I put it on the cart train he's building or do I wait for him to leave and then put it in the corral. Hello yes I did this for a few years in high school. The best option is to just go and stick it up at the front where the carts are supposed to go yourself, but this involves walking extra distance and therefor may be out of consideration for many people, goon or otherwise. You can hand it to them and they'll (awkwardly) maneuver it onto the back of the train, or stick it on the front of the train, but this involves talking to them and making sure the train of carts isn't at the maximum size they can handle already, so I can see why it wouldn't be an option as I too hate talking to people and sympathize. You can also just run it to the nearest empty corral (acceptable but slightly annoying because c'mon man I JUST cleaned that one out!) or the nearest corral they haven't gotten to yet. What you should absolutely not do is just leave the cart someplace randomly on the parking lot, because the cart person is who will get yelled at if a gust of wind or slope you didn't account for launches the empty cart into someone's new car.

Parker and Stone just seem like bad people who are also funny sometimes. This is the case with pretty much all comedians. I wish their dumb brand of political straddling and edgelord punching down hadn't been as influential as it ended up being but I'll still watch BASEketball once a year or so.

rodbeard posted:Mormon missions basically exist to try to trick foreign women to come to America to shore up their numbers. The charity work is only there to make it less obviously a trafficking operation. They barely even try to justify it if you watch a show like 90 Day Fiance. The first season involves a Mormon marrying a teenager he met when she was 12. It’s not that, really. They’re glad to get converts, sure, but that’s really just a side benefit of the mission trips. The main purpose of the Mormon mission is to condition their young. They’re sending their youngest adult members out into areas where they are utterly dependent on the church because they have nothing and don’t know anything or anybody, and they’re forcing them to spend the vast majority of their time trying to hard-sell their religion to outsiders who largely want nothing at all to do with them. The real end goal here isn’t a smattering of new converts, it’s teaching their missionaries that the world outside of the Mormon bubble is hostile and miserable, so that when they go back home they’ll be happy to fall in line and get to work tithing that 10% and popping out the next generation of missionaries. I also think it may have something to do with encouraging quick marriages when they get back, by isolating them from 18-20 and chaining them to a permanent companion with orders to tattletale if they try and have any fun. When they fall back into the bubble they’re probably so lonely and horny that they’re willing to dive right into marriage and get to work on that swarm of kids they’re expected to have.

The shopping cart theory, while not a strictly scientific endeavor but still interesting, supposes that if you return the cart you are inherently a good person. After all, there’s no rule that says you have to do it. No law is being broken if you don’t return it. It’s not like an employee is gonna come harangue you about it or ban you from the store. You are simply taking extra time and effort because it is just a nice thing to do. To be clear, I make it a point of pride to never return carts because I’m not going to help a multibillion company in any way.

Not putting your cart back means you are a lovely person jfc. Same as if you poo poo (figuratively) up a bathroom for no reason and don’t throw your trash away, etc. or when you make a mess in a building for the janitors to clean making no effort to fix your mess.

KennyMan666 posted:The season 23 episode with a guy pretending to be transgender to enter a women's sporting competition was definitely poorly conceived and got some well deserved backlash, even if the argument it was making wasn't that trans athletes shouldn't be allowed to compete. KennyMan666 posted:Season 18 had an episode that was in favour of accepting trans identities. Caitlyn Jenner was portrayed extremely unattractively, but she was dragged for being a lovely person, not for being trans. KennyMan666 posted:They did come out strongly in favour of gay rights extremely early with the literal fourth episode of the show in 1997 having the message "there's absolutely nothing wrong with being gay and it's wrong to ostracize people for being gay", a later episode was fully in favour of gay marriage, and the consistently most sensible adult characters are a happily married gay couple.

KennyMan666 posted:Eh, they really don't. Like, yes, they make fun of the left a lot too, but it's pretty dang clear where their opinions lie these days and it's not with the Republicans. You cite the ManBearPig apology as a point of leftism but that poo poo only exists because they made fun of climate change in the first place! And it's not like the science was still out at the time, there was already proof! They knew better! And the transgender relevant episodes you cite read like "okay they did one about a man pretending to be a woman to dominate at women's sports but that wasn't actually against trans women playing sports or anything" when it so clearly is. Even the early episodes about how gay people should be accepted, is Big Gay Al a progressive icon or just an extreme stereotype? And then literally anything with Mr. Garrison or Mr. Slave, I mean which part of this was supposed to be positive representation? They have entire seasons about how political correctness has gone mad! Anyway, you know what they say about Libertarians.

South Park wasn't alone there, in the 90s even the more progressive forward-thinking depictions of LGBT+ people on TV had undercurrents of "haha gaaaaaay", and mainstream comedies we're dropping the F-slur until well into the 2000s. Not that I'm defending anything else they've done.

The key difference is how you approach your history. The guy who wrote the IT crowd (Graeme Linehan) wrote a transphobic episode in season 3. When criticised about the lovely episode he wrote, he doubled down so hard that he snapped his entire life in half. On the other hand, the actor playing the character acknowledged it was lovely, talked about how he didn't know better at the time and how he'd learned a lot more since then. Most importantly (at least for him), he didn't double down and snap his life in half.

Yeah, I grew up in the 90s and it took me a long time, longer than it probably should have, to erase "gay" and the f-word from my vocabulary of insults to the point that for a while I used the term "[gay/f-word], and not the good homosexual kind" as a kind of verbal backspace.
