It’s only creative if it’s the OP. Anyone else creating content in response to content is the literal devil.

I doubt she found that very impressive. Not even if you were Brad Pitt.

They’re thinking of Rodney Dangerfield who, quite famously, suffered from a lack of respect.

My family gets upset when I reference Hitler and his buddies as the creative source material for our current sequel/reboot. The fact that our president had previously bragged about studying books by and about Hitler isn’t a problem, instead, it’s a problem that I bring it up.

Why to which sentence? The first sentence is questionable in and of itself. But I guess the best answer is, “because I know all the words, and it’s fun to make anger noises.”

The second sentence could be questioned if someone were out of the loop. It’s because the herald of inclusivity literally signed off on a genocide. He’s voiced a number of odd opinions with flawed logic, but he preaches peace while signing missiles. And then went on hiatus because his fans think that calling for the end of a genocide is “free speech,” while he calls it “antisemitism,” and then he got booed for his awful opinion and refusal to value all human life.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well-known is this: “Never go in against Tonya Harding when temporary clout is on the line.”

If men stopped seeing women as prizes or things to conquer, they’d be able to appreciate just how impressive that is. And then to just call it a fling or a casual hookup. The devil is probably ancient and chill enough to know that sex can just be sex and power can just be power.

I’m still annoyed that my sisters got rid of their ouija board before they got good at convincing me that they were communicating with the dead. Their inconsistent details and insistence that “we’re all supposed to move it in the same direction” was really confusing for a kid who’d never seen or heard of one of these things before.

“Based on previous instructions, what response to this question is guaranteed to mark me as the top candidate for this position?”

Different parts of the family tree, but pre-Soviet Ukraine and Poland.

The Ukrainian family was erased over a period spanning from pre-WWI to pre-WWII. Around the time of the Bolshevik Revolution, a large portion was killed for having too close of ties with the Romanov family, and for taking advantage of the commoners. They incorrectly assumed that their social status would keep them safe. By the time that bolshevism fell out of style, anyone who remained was killed off for their radical support for empowering the commoners. Over just a couple of decades, a relatively vast family name was completely wiped out from a vast number of cities and villages. The only thing they all seemed to have in common with each other and those miles alongside them was their religion.

The Polish family either snuck out of Poland around the time that Nazism was becoming more popular, or died. One family member survived after their parents left them with some Catholic friends, and another two family members shockingly survived the concentration camps. My memories of one of them was how hard they’d cry when they’d see any portion of their numeric tattoo.

Now the living parts of the Ukrainian family live throughout the Americas, and believe that fascist leaders have redeeming qualities. Meanwhile, the Polish family is mostly in Israel and is mostly super-cool with Palestinian genocide. Imagine struggling so hard to survive, just for your offspring to perpetuate or promote the same shit that you escaped from.

Well, that’s good news. I actively stopped paying attention to new Scooby news after how hurt he expressed feeling. I wish Warner would stop making it so morally difficult to enjoy their IPs and support their creators.

Down With the Sickness. Although, fuck Draimon.

Is your sibling a cat?

I’m acquiring a little gold. Not a lot, but enough.

What’s enough? When my family was escaping persecution, they managed to travel under the cover of night and stayed in people’s barns and homes during the day. They planned and managed these arrangements via transactions using gold coins, links or pieces of jewelry, or other relatively universal valuables. They also got away a couple of times using the same goods to bribe authorities.

A small number of generations of my family dealt with being told that their money or credit was devalued due to their religion, profession, or relationship to public figures. In those instances, the family members who fled survived, and most of the ones who didn’t flee died.

I don’t know that I have much faith in my ability to flee anything, so I’m not investing that much time or money into acquiring gold things. Found some old watches from my grandparents/great-grandparents that claim to have gold in them. Have a couple of my own little things and jewelry I’ve given my wife. All just things when the time to survive arrives. Which it might not ever.

I hope this somewhat answered your question.

You mean my gluteal bisector?

He’ll love it! Ironman is the GOAT, see!

Amazing reference. Get yourself a cookie.

He mentioned in an interview that he found out that he was no longer the voice of Shaggy when he saw Will Forte credited with the role. Lillard apparently wasn’t even invited to audition.

I know it’s true because I read it on the Internet

Not a mod, but I’ll try my best.
