No, but Width Of A Circle is.

"The church of man love is such a holy place for me" is definitely not about gay sex, right. It's cool Jimbo I'll be your rockin rollin bitch for you. :bigtran::love:

Yeah my brain basically processed the written version how everyone was saying it in the show

"Oh yeah okay so that place is called Sha-Dynasty's too"

And when they outright point it out in the scene with the bar?

Now I hate the song. I liked the line "...one winged dove..." and now the song sucks.

It's like the line from "Walkin' on the Sun" (Don't judge, it was the '90s). I always thought the line was "You need to be there when your baby's old enough to be laid." I thought, wow, that's a profound thought! How would I feel when my daughter becomes sexually active? Then I read the lyrics and never listened to Smash Mouth again.

I'm pretty sure the song's actual message (that the war on drugs is dumb and demonizes stuff like marijuana at the same level as crack cocaine) is much better and was far far far more relevant to the 90s than pontificating about "the sex talk".

They've built the snowman, they're briefly pretending he's a minister, the minister sees that they are a couple that is in love and asks if they are married, they say no and tell him that maybe he can minister their wedding. I think I'm missing something about how this is creepy

To the ur-goon, all feelings of reciprocal love are creepy.

Notably not the version with the lines about Parson Brown, which is what started this conversation. That version has the narrator pretending it's a circus clown.

Mega Man Legends had really great voice acting, particularly compared to the shitshows in Mega Man 8 and X4. Mega Man himself was actually voiced by a guy who acted like he was voicing a teenager instead of an 8 year old with progeria and it was a huge step forward.

Then in MML2 they replaced Mega Man's voice actor with some chick from Sailor Moon.

Increasing school funding doesn't necessarily correlate to better results though. If the roof is leaking or they actually have no money for books, then yes, it helps. If the administration has a good plan and needs some more funds to see it through, it helps. There are lots of failing schools that had their funding increased and absolutely nothing happened.

http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/04/25/468157856/can-more-money-fix-americas-schools

Lol if you think that this matters at all. I was part of a school district where entire rooms flooded with sewage, causing multiple thousands of dollars of damage multiple times a year, and bricks were falling off the facade so regularly that entire sidewalks were closed permanently for fear of getting brained, and it still took decades to get a referendum to pass to fix that poo poo. This was in an extremely affluent part of the country and the tax increase came out to like four dollars per household annually. Greedy people are assholes.

and school systems that don't get results even though they're like trying to smother a dumpster fire with money.

Yeah, but we're talking public schools here, so what's your point exactly?

e: like lol outright at you thinking that there are publicly funded schools that have piles of money, regardless of what level of competency you expect from your educational system, you're a really loving stupid person

You are still missing the point that there are no public schools "smothering dumpster fires with money", because there are no public schools with that much money. You're trying to argue that loving Bigfoot would be much better off using Brand X of athlete's foot paste and I'm over here smacking you with a newspaper telling you to stop imagining problems that don't exist.

I didn't drink until my early 30s, and when I did my first bartender steered me towards bottled domestics when I said "I've never really drank before, what should I do that won't kill me?". To this day I'm not really into hard liquors.

Kinda more E/N, but it's related to the above and thematically related: me and my partner had a small get-together the other day for lunch, and included were a few of my partner's ex-coworkers from a bar that she worked with, and I knew well from being a regular there. While reminiscing, we went down a rabbit hole of learning things that everyone else assumed everyone knew.

- I had no idea that a server at the bar had a big crush on me, at one point.
- I had no idea that this server was so sex-positive that she'd want to throw down with me for funsies; I figured she was just being Server At A Bar Nice, and she was just cute enough that I figured she was out of my league.
- My partner had no idea that I didn't know the above. She figured that the two of us had hooked up at some point (again, this server was casual about hookups, the notion that we didn't was something not considered) before we started dating, and just kept it on the down-low because my partner and the server weren't the best of friends.
- Everyone who worked in the bar assumed that the unfriendly relationship between my partner and the server was the fact that I had went from the server to my partner. The boss would even set schedules knowing I'd be in on Day X and wouldn't schedule the two together on Day X just to avoid issues/backroom squabbling.

Since that day, I've gotten a handful of texts from people who worked there at the time - some I haven't spoken to in years - because evidently me hooking up with Samantha was some fundamental underpinning of a bunch of people's memories of a place they worked.

The Depp version was loving terrible.

The Depp version is totally fine. People have a ton of weird nostalgia for the old one, it's a great movie and a classic, but the Depp one isn't the unholy abomination that people love to make it out as. I saw it in theaters with one of my best friends, and he walked out halfway through in a huff. Except I drove that motherfucker to the theater and it was before the era of smartphones so he just sat in the lobby doing nothing for forty five minutes and we all made fun of him for being so pissy for months afterwards.
