| Topic | Kinda wild how malls have entire stores dedicated to Funko Pops still |
| Wetterdew 12/21/21 2:24:00 AM #7 | Kakapo posted... Theyre basically good, shitty filler gifts. that's pretty much what the company is hoping people buy them for. Fodder for birthday presents for people (especially nerds). Their audience is potentially anybody, since they make so many figures that you're bound to like SOME of their characters. The company priced them perfectly to make them a convenient and affordable present to buy for somebody you know casually. That plus the meganerds who collect them obsessively. The only problem is they're tacky and hideous, and I hate knowing how many people are casually buying them for coworkers and friends who don't really want them or care about them, and that they'll just become more plastic pollution in a couple of years. |
| Topic | Biden admin completely redacts report on student loan elimination |
| Wetterdew 12/21/21 1:50:26 AM #49 | CountDog posted... Why people even care about voting is beyond me. What did George Carlin say. Your voting for who the next person is going to be that is shoving their fist up your **s for next four to eight years. There was more to this joke/reality bit. Can't remember it completely.because whom you vote for matters. if you paid attention to trump's presidency you should know that. Look at our supreme court now. And how the alt right voices have amplified since 2016. and how many people oppose vaccines. These are all the results of stupid voting. america could fix things if it would vote properly. I can understand some cynicism toward the candidates, but not to the point where you pretend like they're all horrible people who are as bad as each other which is obviously false. george carlin's cynicism doesn't apply because the republicans are so obviously worse. |
| Topic | Ink Master hella makes me appreciate tattoo artists |
| Wetterdew 12/21/21 1:21:23 AM #19 | i respect tattoo artists and I used to think it could be kind of cool to have a tattoo on me, but now I think there's just no point, I've never seen a tattoo I thought I'd want on me (or even an image I wanted on me), and I think 95% of them are ugly especially when they're tattooed on hairy skin. I could see myself getting one if I needed to cover up an ugly scar, I guess. |
| Topic | Superman has a boyfriend. Now Wonder Woman has a girlfriend :O |
| Wetterdew 12/20/21 10:17:00 PM #10 | batman is too goofy of a concept for me to take seriously. he's supposed to be all brooding and dark and he dresses up as a bat and rides a bat-shaped car he calls his batmobile. it's silly as hell and looks goddamn stupid. |
| Topic | Jon Stewart on the goblin/Jew theory in Harry Potter |
| Wetterdew 12/20/21 5:52:28 PM #3 | HylianFox posted... if you ask me it's even more racist to look at a bunch of fictional ugly creatures and go "Yep, they're Jews alright"Only if they weren't designed to resemble jews on the other hand, if they were, then it makes sense to point it out. (I'm not familiar with this so I have no idea if it's valid or not) |
| Topic | would you vore for superman or captain america as president? |
| Wetterdew 12/16/21 12:24:39 PM #21 | bigblu89 posted... Superman is literally an alien, and cannot run for President.the people who hate obama for being black would probably love superman because he's white. I don't even think they would be bothered that he isn't from earth, they just don't like brown people and they'd be happy that the strongest person here is a straight white guy. |
| Topic | What's up with reddits intentionally unfunny humor |
| Wetterdew 12/15/21 11:25:34 PM #12 | you mean anti-jokes? |
| Topic | Are you going to learn Mandarin? |
| Wetterdew 12/15/21 11:24:05 PM #36 | I don't think it's nearly as hard as people make it sound. Learning the characters just takes time but it's not challenging. Learning the tones isn't hard either. Once you've done it for a bit, your brain will earn some folds and you won't need to consciously think about how to use the right tones, the tones will just become part of the word. And the grammar isn't hard in chinese. |
| Topic | I think J.K. Rowling is gonna get some heat for this one |
| Wetterdew 12/13/21 6:19:11 PM #172 | jesus is this her entire identity now? she just won't stop harping on about it. How many years now has it been that she's been obsessed with trans people. |
| Topic | 22 year old woman is stuck in the body of a child |
| Wetterdew 12/13/21 6:16:54 PM #51 | Tyranthraxus posted... The entire pituitary gland stopped working so anything it's responsible for also doesn't work and her bones are fused now so she can't even take growth supplements.wrinkles aren't the result of your pituitary gland, they're just natural degeneration that comes with the years. so yes she will get wrinkly like the rest of us. |
| Topic | Weathering with could've been a perfect anime movie |
| Wetterdew 12/12/21 9:51:29 PM #5 | I watched that movie because people say "your name" is such an amazing movie I thought it's generic schlock. Maudlin tripe, with annoying anime tropes. I guess if I'd been a young teen I might have found it marginally more touching. It put me off of ever bothering with any of his other movies. |
| Topic | RATE: How Disney has handled Marvel movies |
| Wetterdew 12/12/21 9:45:09 PM #17 | i've watched quite a few of them. they're fine. some are quite fun and impressive. but i also have come to hate their overreliance on bathos humor. it's beyond tired. in general i kind of hate comic book superhero adaptations but I also sometimes enjoy them. even the good ones have so much stupid stuff in them. the only superhero movie I can think of that I can whole-heartedly enjoy is the incredibles. |

| Topic | Imagine the Mario movie being worse than the Sonic movie(s) |
| Wetterdew 12/09/21 10:16:11 PM #2 | The voice actors are hardly what this movie hinges on. This movie will be garbage by virtue of being made by illumination with a goal of mass appeal. but young kids will like it anyway. Chris Pratt is a dumb choice but he won't be the reason the movie will be bad |
| Topic | Why is Dunkey so fucking funny when its basically him doing 24/7 baby voices |

| Topic | What is your favorite cartoon with LGBTQ+ representation? |
| Wetterdew 12/08/21 6:17:39 PM #14 | the cartoons I watched growing up didn't have gay characters because people were more homophobic in the 90s and 2000s, and cartoon companies didn't have the balls to allow gay content. |

| Topic | What headphones do you use, CE? |
| Wetterdew 12/05/21 2:11:45 AM #14 | bose soundsports 4 years ago I tried a few wireless headphones. The first two pairs were crappy quality and the other one wasn't usable for phone calls. Soundsports were the third pair I bought and the most expensive of the lot. I like that I can hang them around my neck when I want to take them off. and I like that I can turn them on and off with a button. They stick out of my ears a lot which looks ugly but they are very comfortable. When I accidentally destroyed them, I tried galaxy buds as a replacement but I found them really annoying. I hate that you can't ever turn them off. Sometimes I want to take them out of their charging case without turning them on. So dumb. it's also too cumbersome to swap devices with them. so I returned them and got another pair of soundsports |

I like hearing george carlin's musings but I never laughed. the only ones listed so far that I think are funny are jim gaffigan, louis ck, and fluffy. some of them I haven't listened to though |
| Topic | Have you ever had or wanted a pet Bird? |
| Wetterdew 11/28/21 10:33:29 PM #2 | i love birds but I would not get a pet bird even though I would love having one. Instead, I feed baby wild birds who've been orphaned, and I also feed birds in my backyard |

| Topic | Binding Of Issac - How do they get away with releasing the game so many times? |
| Wetterdew 11/27/21 12:22:12 PM #3 | the nature of isaac is replayability. Adding new content means you can replay the game more while still getting fresh experiences. It lends itself well to DLC as a result because each DLC opens up more new experiences. I guess the problem is that as a new player you don't really get an idea of how much each DLC really adds to the game, since it largely has to be opened up over many playthroughs to see the full extent of it. |
| Topic | Oracle of Seasons has much better items than Ages >_> |
| Wetterdew 11/27/21 1:27:29 AM #32 | I agree it has better items but I do really like the cane of somaria. |
| Topic | Don't ghost people. Grow up and be straightforward with them |
| Wetterdew 11/26/21 5:55:55 PM #169 | imo if you've gone on a date and the other person was respectful then you shouldn't ghost them if you haven't gone on a date then it doesn't matter as much |

| Topic | Why is American money so annoying? |
| Wetterdew 11/24/21 10:56:32 PM #28 | Irony posted... This whole thing sounds like you have vision issuesis that supposed to absolve american money of its problems? Let's take your post seriously and assume hypothetically that TC DOES have vision problems. there are many americans with vision problems who still need to be able to use money. did you know that there are countries where the cash was designed intelligently so that even blind people can use it? they can tell bills apart because they have distinguishing properties that can be felt, like different sizes for example. |
