Do people seriously enjoy reading this poo poo? Walls and walls of text of meaningless conjecture about minor characters from kids movies?

This isn't any worse than a book of star wars aliens or an wikipedia entry. At least its not one of those ones that has one line one image.

That one about Star Citizen was pretty amusing, because it had stuff like "Mean old companies want you to shell out money for DLC, but with star citizen you can pay $15k and have everything!". You know because that's 10x as much as games + all the dlc available cost, excluding stuff like Train Simulator and The Sims. It's such sunk cost fallacy thinking.

Ugh what? It took me a moment to realize the "joke"

Browncoats make me hate Firefly. It was an okay show for the time, but to hear them talk about it, its like Mad Men, Breaking Bad and Deadwood all rolled into one. Also, a lot of the space western stuff got annoying after a while. Okay I can understand that there are fringe planets that aren't as wealthy and high tech as others, and horses are better than nothing, but why would everyone dress in 1880s clothing. But it got to be a show about hats then.

These are fine when they're short and have jokes but holy poo poo, does anyone have time to sit there and follow these flowcharts? I like how the "what to eat one" starts off "are you in Japan", loving Weebs. Not everything is about Japan! I like Japanese stuff, but its not automatically making things better. Though Green Tea Kitkats are pretty good. The only one that's almost the right length is the Horse one, but even then its way to long.

It's some weird loving idea that not writing your own songs makes you a lovely musician and just a corporate whore. Lots of musicians don't write their own songs, though many bands have a song writer in them, they're not the vocalist.

No, I'd wager that people like this know Queen from actually hearing their music, largely from the radio, but they haven't heard much of their music. Rhapsody, Another One Bites the Dust, We Will Rock You and We Are the Champions, and that's probably it. Don't expect them to realize that Queen were the guys that did I Want It All or something like that.

It's like with Led Zeppelin. Yes, they probably have heard Stairway; no, they probably haven't heard anything else.

I was making a factious remark that was a combination what you said and my hatred for Ernest Cline. Yea, these kids probably have heard the big songs by classic rockers, but anymore more than that, they'd be at a loss. Its kind the character that shows up in movies that is really into music, like their room is covered with Bowie, Elvis Costello, Kiss and Cure posters, but they never listen to anything deeper in the catalog than what you'd find on a classic rock radio station.

The worst is when those kids, who discover older music and then get in your face about it, as if they discovered something completely new and never heard before. I'm also sure that Waynes World had probably the biggest impact on young people listening to Queen. I remember a music critic in the 90s lamenting that fact, how kids were all into Queen because of that one scene, but there only being the shallowest of fans.

I think the weirdest thing I've seen about her is that she actually thinks she could be cast in the Captain Marvel movie, though.

A lot of people agree with her, and its really little more than that she looks kind of like the character. Muscley blond woman isn't exactly a narrow criteria because there are things called personal trainers and hairdressers that can make anyone look like that. But there's no worry because Marvel/Disney is going to cast someone in their premier female hero film based purely on looks and what people on the internet thing. If that was true, every part would be played by wrestlers and Danzig would be Wolverine.

The thing is, it looks like you poo poo your pants and a recent poll by a paper asked women what are the biggest fashion turn offs for them from men had it at #3 after fedoras and those Kevin Smith shorts. I don't even see rappers wearing pants that style anymore either. They hang low and loose, but they're certainly not belted on the bottom of the cheeks.
