Basically that. In late 2018 Brian Robbins took over as the Nickelodeon CEO, and (assuming the ROTTMNT writers aren't lying) he went on to kill the show. Moves it to Nicktoons, airs it late at night when the kids are sleeping, cancels the toyline, doesn't advertise it, complains about low ratings after it gets moved to Nicktoons, cancels it halfway through s2 after promising a full season, and then doesn't even advertise the finale as a finale.




I'm told Glitch Techs met a similar fate but I don't know anything about that show.

Wasn’t breadtube just wishful thinking by internet posters writing erotic friendfiction about their favorite youtube channels? It’s true insofar as people know each other and collaborate, plus have some prominent self-declared enemies in common, but I don’t think it was ever a branding thing or some kind of deliberate effort, though I don’t really follow many of the more narrowly political communists/anarchists who don’t do scripts or jokes.
I think Breadtube was a hope that there could be a serious contender to the RW/Fash propaganda on youtube

The trouble is with socialist youtubers is that they have to condense down decades of theory and discussion into bite-sized chunks. The formations of a socialist society, the problems that's arise in it, how it would come about and all that jazz have been talked about forever and, from an anarchist point of view, no one person would have all the answers. It's why councils exist. It's like a bunch of experts talking through a problem, if not experts then members of the community. Like the response video did the liberal thing of "ok, well, what about the logistics of it?" and the best response would be "I'm not the one who can answer that but I can give you an idea of how one might be found" and then you'd describe how worker councils and communes have worked forever.
It does depress me how much easier it is for the right to get a ton of views for their bitesize videos because fundamentally they have the benefit of just making up poo poo (Thinking of PragerU videos)

weirdly enough poo poo like that was why i couldnt get into Jurassic park. i always liked the book more because it potrays John Hammond as an amoral rear end in a top hat who takes short cuts and is a dickhead tycoon/weirdo. painting him as some jolly caring dude makes me wonder how he sleeps at night. like how many people died and turned into dino poo poo. like sure the blame can be placed on "bad corperations" but jesus. also i hate the new ones because they always felt weirdly cruel. like that loving minute long secretary death, like wtf was that poo poo. i guess i own enough lizards to know they don't play with their food for like 10 minutes.
John Hammond in the movie is much more Carnegie in the movies than Walt Disney in the books; Scottish Industrialist who is obsessed with dinosaurs who had much worse people under him that were responsible for disasters that lead to mass death.

I subscribe to his patreon but had only been in the discord once or twice. Log in one day to find out it’s no longer his discord, but a full on Marxist thing. He sent out a new link via patreon a few days later with very little commentary on what happened other than that he didn’t control the original discord. Weird situation.
From what I understand the Maoists were quiet and got elected mods whereupon they went full bore taking over the discord.

Ugh seeing that reminds me how much I was into thinking the Roman Empire was the epitome of civilization from 10 to about 21 years old

I remember being on the Ancient History thread going on how even their slavery was better than chattel slavery of the American South.

Thank God I never found 4chan because I was also in that edgy South Park phase where I was playing the axis a lot in rts games.

Got out of fash and being a lovely libertarian by the time I realized how annoying those people were in real life and also got back into catholicism

He was a perfectly fine and normal poster until some point in 2016 (no, it wasn't Trump related). At some point in the spring-summer of 2016, something in his brain cracked and he ramped up into a turbo-rear end in a top hat and then overclocked into full on psycho stalker with a hosed up fan club.

He stalked me around SA for at least a year because I kicked him out of Let's Play for being an rear end in a top hat to people while I was a mod and would make fun of his weird rants in the GRRM thread in TBB. He had a long list of forums enemies for a menagerie of weirdo reasons apparently.

Yeah, I always hate that kind of talk way faster than even any dumb replies that aren't completely awful, "HURR BULLY THESE PEOPLE FOR A HOBBY" and other inane reasons, said as a joke or not is stupid and bad, because people apparently always have to be reminded that previous, now and future the biggest victims of bullying are often without a doubt going to be sexual minorities, women, PoC and other at risk people, continuing to use the language of and ideas of badgering, browbeating and melting down at people, most of which are harmlessly liking a thing just adds a lot more shittiness in an already dumpster fire of a time. Like it already long since passed the point of the kind of people that blunder into any and all really mild fan chats about for example YA book type stuff, kramering in to start farting out read another book for the millionth time or whatever, getting a lot more annoying than the a lot of the time common fans they're trying to get ~sikk ownz~ on, shut up and let people enjoy things if they're not being insane.
It just becomes a feedback loop of total poo poo

Like yeah the take "superhero movies are our mythology" is dumb because it doesn't understand what mythology actually is and comes off as someone wanting to justify that watching superhero movies can be mature. Don't need to dogpile on these people just loving mute and ignore them

There is also the issue that at least in what American education I've directly taken part in school is way less about actually analyzing the work, and a lot more about decoding how your teacher thinks about the book and then writing to that. It's possible that I just got a lot of lovely teachers by chance, but it seems like those sort of "write what I already think or be deducted points" types are more common than not. At least figuring that out around the middle of sophomore year made the rest of high school and college way easier.
The American Education system is about finding ways to turn you into wanting be a STEMbot and making humanity classes these "boring" classes I feel is almost intentional. Also the Koch Brothers offer to give grants to schools on the basis that they make Anthem a mandatory read in their curriculum.

My ranks for Fallout New Vegas DLC is:
Honest Hearts (because I spent 3 months in Utah working in the conservation corps hoping to end up in Zion, but ended up in Bryce, though after I was done my parents did take me to Zion while we stayed a week in Vegas)
Dead Money (Love the characters and the background and the Holorifle; I can never kill Dean even though objectively he is a horrible horrible person)
OWB (again love the characters and dialogue)
Lonesome Road (just bored with it)

For Main New Vegas really wish there was a way to do Kings and Followers ending (not independent); hell that's another thing hbomb missed, the two best factions in the game!

Also for something completely different;
I've been thinking how intoxicating it is to get to get in those online youtube/podcast/streaming bubbles, because it seems so attainable to contact these folks to get on their stuff. I guess it comes from how back in the CA days I somehow got involved in Lordkat's justin.tv stream and there is something about how having access to that kind of circle of people when you don't have a social life whatsoever becomes addicting.

Honest Hearts is the best DLC because it inspired me to actually go to Zion, which is an incredible beautiful place that I love.







Also Dead Money is great, I loved the sense of desperately scrounging around and using the police pistol to execute Ghost People while they were on the ground to make sure they stayed down.
When I went it was mid Nov so while it was fairly empty, it was also pretty chilly so we just took the road to see what could be seen from there; granted Zion apparently gets really hot in Summer so in retrospect I was glad I was up in Bryce for my tenure (Bryce is like 70 degrees in the Summer, though it wasn't fun sleeping in a tent in -14 degree weather)

Just having any personality at all beyond a few shallow quips would be an upgrade for some of them. Like the cleaning robot who constantly talks about cleaning… and nothing else. T3-M4 from KOTOR only spoke in beeps but he still managed to be far more of a character than SAM.
