When I first heard Hozier's Take Me To Church on the radio in Denny's, I was convinced it was some old Elton John song.

While "Flanderization" is named after Ned Flanders, it doesn't refer to making a character more like Flanders specifically. It refers more generally to oversimplifying a character to a lazy stereotype, losing any depth or complexity. In the case of Patrick Star, it's referring to him changing from being just a bit simple-minded to being an absolute moron.

As it continues:

She got confused looking, mumbled a little, suddenly spouted, "SNOO!" Startled hell out of me! We had no clue WTF that was. Later her sister related a story about a snow storm when she was 2 and that's what she called it.

My younger siblings were definitely aware of funny family anecdotes that happened before they were born. It's not unreasonable that the memory she was recalling was a recounting of that story.

what is ao wrong about just paying a prostitute to do it with?

In most places, the law. Not that I agree with it, but that is the law and most people don't want to risk prison.

sorry excuse for an intolerable ass pastry

As opposed to a shining exemplar of an intolerable ass pastry

when he speaks, I put him on fast so I don't fall for the sing-song voice and the vague slowness of his speech.

I watch most videos at double speed. What's wild to me is that, usually, this makes the speaker sound much more clever. With him though, it makes him sound dumber.

Hypnosis is actually quite useful for digging up old memories that the subject doesn't consciously remember.

Edit: ITT a bunch of people who don't know anything about hypnosis other than unrealistic depictions in media.

You were voting for fascism with either one of these candidates

Harris told pro-Palestinians protesters to let her finish speaking. Trump stripped their degrees and deported then. Dems are problematic in their own neo-liberal way, but they weren't kidnapping innocent people and shipping them off to Salvadorian death camps. We can criticize the Dems without equating them with the other, much worse major party.

You can't even make a defense for the Dems here other than "they're not Republicans," so maybe you should point that anger toward the very people running the party

Again, I don't know where you get the idea that it's difficult to do both. I've got plenty of anger to go around, and lots of guilty parties that helped get us where we are: the oligarchs themselves, MAGA, non-MAGA that voted R anyway, Congress, SCOTUS, the Biden administration, the DNC, and the abstainers.

Each one deserves their own bespoke ire, delivered in a method suited to reaching them. I point my anger and my words in the same direction. When I'm mad at my senator, I write my senator, and take other actions designed to communicate my disapproval to my senator. This particular space is a hotbed for idealistic, counterproductive leftists. Guess who it's most protective to criticize here?

Why are you here calling people names instead of directing that anger towards the ones responsible?

We don't need it. We still like it, but we don't need it.
