I'm sure you don't wear out socks if you never walk anywhere.

I walk 8 hours at work but with no real winter the socks are not needed. Still nice to have for sleeping but that's usually a gentle activity on the socks.

I'm thinking about starting to wear a hat to sleep, a kind of floppy cotton hat. Thoughts?

Are you also planning on running through the town to make sure that the children are all in bed?

It would mostly be to help me sleep after a hard day, similar to the wool socks. Sleeping caps used to be a thing, I bet they knew something we forgot.

My wife teases me because if I ever put on a beanie when I'm relaxing at home/the passenger in a car/whatever I immediately fall asleep. There's something really peaceful about relaxing with a cap on.

I really enjoy the feeling of wearing socks to bed and then subsequently using my feet to peel them off after a bit when my feet feel too warm.

Nope, I saw the episode that had Homer and Marge splitting up, with the cast of Girls, that was all just a dream.

That was like five years ago. The Simpsons is beyond phoning it in. They’re not reading tea leaves, they’re sniffing toilet paper.

I watched every episode of Allen Gregory, because it felt like I was witnessing something almost historically bad. I HAD to see firsthand how terrible it was going to get.

So imagine something juuuust above that. That’s the Simpsons episode I’m talking about. It was almost fun with how bad it was, but didn’t even break through to “so bad you can mock it”. It’s like when Achewood described the Grateful Dead as the sound of eight confused men getting paid but more incoherent.

South Park is satire and literally no North American has had any idea how to process satire for the past 50 years, and goons even less because American goons are literally literally the dumbest motherfuckers ever to infect the planet.

Yeah like that time they satirized the poo poo out of trans people and produced one of the most hateful pieces of pop culture since Birth of a Nation.

Yeah the episodes like that are still good but the vulgar humour feels very early 2000s and the episodes where the kids turn to the camera and explain their political beliefs suck.

The games are great because they’re both about the kids dress up games going completely out of hand.

My all time favorite episode is when they formulate a plan to steal one of those paper fortune telling things from the girls. Stanley's Cup is another good one. Also The List.

Oh my god, the ending of Stanley’s Cup absolutely cracked me up when it aired. I didn’t expect they’d actually go there.

It seems we can't really say if South Park is good or bad. I guess the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I sort of agree with you, but if you’re a goon of a certain age*, the Heavy Metal parody, Major Boobage, is absolutely fantastic.

South Park is way past it's prime and is definitely not good, but at it's worst it's still worth putting on in the background while I'm doing something else. At it's best there is still a funny joke here and there or even a good episode. Simpsons has been offensively bad for over 20 years and still just keeps going, which is insane.

That said, the best seasons of the Simpsons are pure gold and absolutely timeless, while South Park at it's best was mostly just ok with some gems in there.

See I don't care that The Simpsons is still going because if you don't find it funny just don't watch it it doesn't hurt you that lots of other people watch it and it makes millions and millions and millions of dollars.
