When Cartoon Network brought over Tenchi Muyo, they aired the different series back-to-back without explaining what was going on, so it was a dada-esque experience trying to follow along. Someone should do that with all the different Doos. Just strip away the opening and ending credits and play every single one as if it's part of the same series as the original one from the 1970s.

We complain about Spider-man reboots, but there have been approximately 2,000 different reboots of Scooby Doo

@InspectorCaracal @wigglytuffitout This was exactly the original meaning when sung by British military until the Americans reclaimed the song.

So we can reasonably call the American War of Independence the fuccboi revolution.

when people correct your use of your native language because it's different from a prestige dialect of the same language, they're just being an asshole. it varies if they're being racist, classist, xenophobic, misogynist, etc. but that's asshole behavior

You're kidding aren't you?

Are you saying that this
linux can run on a computer without bird pornography underneath it, at all ? As
in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?

That sounds preposterous to me.

If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling
computers without a bird pornography. This clearly is not happening, so there
must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that bird pornography is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.

Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create bird pornography 6, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with bird pornography. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.

Its just not possible that a
freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of bird pornography. Not possible.

I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

There's nothing more American than Peanuts, because it's about depressed children bemoaning society, but it's also marketed to hell and back to present a sweet, fake image and sell millions of crappy greeting cards.

For some reason this is making me think of My Roommate Sonic, that game Griffin played with fuckboy Nick where Sonic is sitting on your couch watching TV while Eggman encourages you to make moves on him

Seriously, tho, emo from that period is so particular you can practically timestamp it and provide lat/long coordinates to where the songwriter came up with the lyrics.

October 23, 1997, 2:38 am, sitting on a couch smoking up in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Brad had an idea for a song about how sad he is now that summer is over and he won't see his unrequited crush anymore. He had recently been reading "The Martian Chronicles" and wishes to weave in references to the first chapter for pathos.
