The problem I have with it is that it was good to begin with, in a fairly shallow "funny silly scifi drunk man" way, then with "character development" just got more and more into "Rick is so depressed, let's explore that", but in a kind of boring drama way to put into a "cartoon which is attempting to parody characters from Back to the Future".

Roiland's other show "Solar Opposites" has the same problem, where it's about aliens just doing zany scifi stuff then extremely boring B plots about humans the alien kids shrunk down and live in a horrible society in the bedroom wall. It's like he thinks he's significantly better at the writing/producing/creation of these shows than he actually is.

Wait what? I watched the first few episodes when it came out and was mildly amused by the B plot of shrunken captive humans, but I figured it was like a one episode thing. That keeps going throughout the whole series? That sounds awful.

There are entire episodes devoted to that stupid B plot. And it got worse and worse.

The thing is that NY is pretty red outside of the urban cores and even in NYC there's a lot of Republicans particularly in the more suburban neighborhoods like on Staten Island. You're not gonna gerrymander Elise Stefanik's seat into Dem hands without having a map that shoves half of Rochester into a thousand miles of cow country. You might be able to save three seats if the stars aligned, but you're likely never going to get eastern LI or the north country or most of the farms around Binghamton.

i confess i was kind of surprised. i wasn't exactly a fan of unknown hinson, but from what little exposure i had, everything he did seemed to be just so extreme and on-the-nose that i never even considered the possibility that it wasn't satirical. i mean, dude spent a decade making a cartoon whose entire premise is a joke at his expense. the whole things was just like he and the audience were both on the wrong side of poe's law.

Baby you look good tonight
But it's cold here outside
Foggy winders has come betweenst us again

I like that dress you're wearing
As I stand out here starin'
Through foggy winders that have come beetweenst us again

If you look now you might think you see a ghost from your past
But it's only condensation
My breath on this glass
Don't call the police
No need and tried
I've already cut your telephone lines
Foggy winders has come betweenst us again

You and the law dogs will never know
I whooped your boyfriend moments ago
He caught me starin' through foggy winders
At you

Gonna pick one

If you look now you might think you see a ghost from your past
But it's only condensation
My breath on this glass

I took a drink
Or maybe five
It's hard to focus my eyes
Through foggy winders that have come betweenst us again

I'mma a countin' to ten
Then I'm bustin' in
Through foggy winders that have come betweenst us again

These foggy winders won't come betweenst us again

If you're not sure about the software paint tools, you can also just select the area and than "cut" and don't paste it anywhere.
That should completely remove everything from there.

(Normally selecting the area and doing a paint fill should do it, but there is a small chance that could gently caress up if your in software that has a opacity setting for it's fill, and it's not set to 100%.)

they actually tried to do exactly that with the gerrymander they came up with that got thrown out. of course, it got thrown out by judges that cuomo appointed, because he sucked massively. though given that dems underperformed in most if not all districts, that might have still not worked at all. which is all a shame because stefanik is only barely a step above gaetz, boebert and mtg as far as awful republicans goes.

yeah, in hindsight the "i love my employees, but gently caress the union!" tantrum that he threw when the animators voted to strike unless they got better health care provisions in the new contract and wound up trying to take back after it having to eat poo poo when it was publicly explained to him that the union is his employees should have been all we needed to know he was a poo poo rather than just being dumbass who doesn't know poo poo about gently caress when it comes to actual work since he's been able to making a living as a "creative" or whatever the gently caress

For real though, Britney did some self-destructive poo poo in the 2000s that severely damaged her estate, but did she ever do anything that even closely amounted to $200+ billion in lost assets? I feel like Elon clearly needs a legal guardian.

No, but she committed the crime of having a breakdown while being a woman (and also having a person in her life that wanted to steal all her money and had a reasonable claim to guardianship). Nobody is going to put Elon in a conservatorship any more than they will Kanye.
