  • I never watched it growing up but everything I’ve heard about it since I was an adult is great. Never watched much skit comedy outside of kids on the hall and that’s just when not much else was on.

    Nowadays I’d say the kids in the hall stuff was much better than other stuff I watched, cause I’m not sure I even remember…some syndicated sitcom I assume, waiting for dinner.

    Still recall some of the taglines as little as I saw it, since you were waiting for the next show (possibly Simpsons at one point on cbc).


  • I got to lovecrafian and was sold, I do enoy any journeys into cosmic horror, from a toe dip to what the freaking hell. Still working my way through his stories but From the Mouth of Madness was a favourite movie growing up but I couldn’t quite place why. Then I discovered cosmic horror and had that ‘ahhhh ding’ (holy choir going ahhhhh then ding at the realization second with a light shining…okay I watch a lot of tv and movies). sort of experience.

    Also did not realize there was a movie, but I think I’ll end up doing some novel experience before the movie. Been burned way too much the other route and they spoil the best parts for the worst take on the story usually. If not the same here, well it’ll be fun for a change of the movie being a better storytelling (unless I misread / understood the comment sorry reading quickly)

    Thanks for the comment I’ll definitely be checking it out one of multiple ways for sure.





  • Though they’re not really EU anymore at least. Unless I’m missing something? Like yes Europe but not EU.

    I really hope Canada can be part of that union, our landmass isn’t overly strong democraticly (due to certain neighbors effing things up) though it’d be an awesome middle finger to the US if Mexico could join as well. Oh look you’re surrounded by people not in your coolition, funny how that happens when you decide to be a complete asshole eh?

    Let’s bring everyone up that we can, even if we get used to less because we all have to live on this planet may as well work together…that’s a pipe dream I know but wouldn’t it rock if we all found out how to get along, share and communicate? Again if only.

    Mean I get lots of changes need to happen to make that a possibility but not like we don’t have time to work things out and figure out how we can all prosper.




  • Also the Democrat that was raided (yesterday?) who led the redistricting initiative in VA. They’ll do more of that for the tiniest thing going forward to make them seem less trustworthy and get people voting Republican. The whole system is pretty much shot for the usual and given how finicky and uninformed the US voters are (as a whole) they’ll falll for any tiny thing. They already put a convicted felon in the white house after the whole COVID thing that he was in charge of (and possibly responsible for due to his disbanding the pandemic team in China) his first term.

    Awful teacher even if they had questions no one would know, cause maybe they had a prodigy in their class or maybe someone that studied that subject to death, that’s a horrible outcome for the kid who got all questions correct.

    I guess you could go Farnsworth route and say penmanship counts. (Futurama joke). Though at a certain age range that’s not really applicable I guess it depends the grade level for my annoyance at that teacher I’ll probably forget it in a moment anyways. Still awful teacher if they got all questions correct, and wasn’t a trick one in there.

    Edit forgot to add also if the work showed all steps of logic (usually math but sure you get what I mean). No one learning should be denied a perfect score if they learned it is all.




  • For many for sure, I still hope others think the proper lessons are good. I mostly cling to that cause I went to religious schools as a kid, parents were not and I am not, but had decent education otherwise. But I did learn Christianity decently and in general has good ideas but they’ve been warped to greedy people’s needs.

    Kinda reminds me of the movie Dogma, ideas are good (help people, be kind etc) but beliefs are hard to change. If you got an idea it can be shifted into something better as needs change.

    I think if there is a higher power (I don’t really but think it’s a possibility like multi dimensions) they’d like us to understand the spirit of that book, not literal and not use it like a shield for being an asshole.

    In the end you are you, if you don’t do stuff cause a book says no, it not cause you are good. If you do good stuff just cause a book says so it’s not good either. Want to be better for the people around you, not what some book says.


  • I hate short replies that don’t add much (so added more than agreed!) but I’ve always enjoyed being anonymous in forums, I’m quite a shy person.

    Never was a jerk intentionally or anything just said my bit. But everyone possibly knowing who I was I’d probably say nothing ever. Fuck it I was private before I can be private later. But I’m old and recall before Internet when I had no (or little) interaction.

    Like we all haven’t seen data breeches over the years…oh it’s the government that holds the master authentication? Fuck that shit is all. Nothing, from a person who does programming these days, like that is remotely better.

    Some countries may be better but we’re all democratic right? Takes a single election till shit stops working as a safeguard, then new ones in make a different law. The whole system was not built for current tech.


  • Too bad he didn’t have a stroke while the neighborhood was blocked with cars due to filming.

    Mean I hate wishing ill will on anyone but there’s a few exceptions that I think is morally fine as long as I don’t take any action and just wish really hard. Like many people that pray.

    Few people have erroded our social norms like that douche. While I thought they were stuffy before it’s like he dropped his pants and took a shit at the table before his first bite then calls you crazy for being offended.
