MiddleOne posted:What would it even be about? Is there a single story more finished, done and just stripmined than the Matrix trilogy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfeGPilWZp0 Yeah, this is a pretty conclusive ending. Everyone stuck their heads up their own asses and then the machines shut down the Matrix because there wasn't enough paying users. All official Canon.

More than the color palette, my main problem with the Fallout aesthetic is that everything has to be so grimy and run-down all the time, even though it's supposed to be generations after the apocalypse. Even in supposedly wealthy areas, people still live in filthy rooms with cracked walls, paint peeling off, etc. Why don't people clean their homes and give the walls a fresh coat of paint? It makes no sense.

Groovelord Neato posted:It's the CASH ME OUTSIDE girl from the Dr. Phil meme. I unironically respect the way her and her family managed to effectively monetize what should have been 15 minutes of internet fame. Even before her rap career, she was making bank selling "Cash me outside" merchandise and charging tens of thousands of dollars to appear on tv shows and say her catchphrase. I bet those other meme people are feeling stupid for not thinking of it first.

Marshal Radisic posted:Even in the show it was a stroke of luck that Homer got his job at the nuclear plant. All the way back in "Homer Goes to College" the NRC evaluators make it a point that Homer's job description requires post-secondary education, and the only reason he got his job in the first place was he impressed Mr. Burns with his servility. Still, this is just another example of how The Simpsons has gone on so long that it's no longer connected to the cultural milieu that created it as a response. He got the job all the way back in episode three, as a bribe to stop protesting safety conditions at the plant. It's explicitly supposed to be a higly paid sinecure where he doesn't actually have to do anything. In the season 1 commentary they even talk about how it makes no sense for the Simpsons to be so poor that they can't afford a proper RV because Homer should be making lots of money from his safety inspector job. Of course, the writing is wildly inconsistent on this matter and often treats Homer as a hard-working prole, rather than the head of security for a nuclear power plant.

The best mark is someone who believes they are too smart to be fooled.

IShallRiseAgain posted:Credit card companies aren't being prudes when they block payments for porn. Its because porn is notorious for having a lot of chargebacks, and its a giant hassle for them to deal with. That's an argument for charging higher fees, which they already do. There is no reason to block porn outright when you can just make them pay more to cover the expenses.

IShallRiseAgain posted:I'm not defending it or anything, I'm just pointing out the actual motives for blocking payments to porn sites. The point is that blocking payment to porn sites have nothing to do with chargebacks, since that just leads to higher processing fees. Porn sites have always paid more to payment processors to cover chargeback risks. Blocking payment entirely is a recent development.

fun hater posted:i also thought it was about a sad gay kid https://www.advocate.com/books/2019/1/31/dear-evan-hansen-novel-queer-ghost-comes-out-and-saves-lives There is actually a novelization of Dear Evan Hansen, in which it is revealed that the dead kid was a sad gay, and he gets to hang out as a ghost and provide ongoing commentary on the events, even going so far as to save people's lives with his ghostly powers. In the Dear Evan Hansen Novel, a Queer Ghost Comes Out and Saves Lives posted:But perhaps most significantly, the novel gives Connor — whose role in the musical is more of an inciting incident than a major character — a fully realized voice. Throughout the story, Connor's ghost lingers to observe how the living respond to his death. Full chapters of the book, written in the first person, are devoted to Connor's commentary as well as the memories of events that led to his suicide. His presence leads the story into supernatural territory. A shadowy figure is seen from a window; later, an unseen force wills a character out of harm's way. I can't believe Jenny managed to miss this. SimonChris fucked around with this message at 08:26 on Dec 6, 2021 |

Bloom County actually did a Calvin and Hobbes crossover sequel recently, apparently with Watterson's approval. It's pretty cute. The background here is that a character in a face-concealing mask and suit had been hanging around for a while during the Covid storyline, and everyone assumed it was Bill the Cat, another Bloom County character:
