  1. As an adult I enjoy South Park more because I'm no longer an edgy teenager. It's far more relatable and understandable now that I have the tools and higher education of an adult to analyze it beyond a surface level and get the deeper meanings and themes. We just watched a 10 minute video about the philosophy of this episode, which at 35 I enjoyed. When I watched the premiere episode (fuck me) 21 years ago, I was definitely not doing that. I was laughing at a satellite dish coming out of Cartman's ass.

  2. Me too. That usage of the word has become so ingrained in culture as moving from one thing to another that when you consider it meaning the same as all the other uses of the word revolution, it's a simple yet paradigm shattering realization.

  3. Better question: Does anyone NOT? lol

  4. The ruling class of the United States today is capable of far more tyranny and oppression than Colonial Britain ever was, and we demand as much for the appearance of safety

  5. An EWS discussion with no 'Illuminati shit'? That's like reviewing They Live and not talking about aliens.

  6. Conscious inertia, also today known as Analysis Paralysis. Where you have so much bounty, variety, choice, freedom, and information on just about any decision that you spend insane amounts of time analyzing what you should or should not do that you end up doing nothing. It's how I feel in the cereal aisle, for a great example: All I want is original Kellog's Corn Flakes, but look at these 5390 other options...maybe I should try one of them, but what if I don't like it, now I'm stuck with a box of cereal, but what if it's amazing and I'm FOMO....wait, do I even WANT cereal for breakfast that often? Fuck this, I'm making omelettes. I've gotten over most of that by prioritizing importance of decisions. What kind of cheese do I want for my omelettes? Who TF cares, grab cheddar and whatever else you're considering, it's like $2, so what, not worth the time to overthink it.

  7. I always thought the real irony of the story was that the most valuable treasure, The One Ring, was found and basically disregarded on the way to what they considered the real treasure.

  8. Life is all about making the least worst choice. When faced with a ballot featuring a murderous Reptilian oligarch, an American businessman, and White Fidel Castro, I wasn't left with much choice. If that box had 'Rand or Ron Paul' next to it, I would have filled it in. All politics aside, I won't vote for another Clinton OR a Bush, because this is the United States and we don't do 'Dynasties'. Run better candidates. You're telling me that in a nation of nearly 350 million people, Hillary and Bernie were the only 2 they came up with? Did they set their candidate search to filter out every possible under minimum retirement age? I'm 34, where Is our generations JFK? No matter who won this cycle they would take office as the oldest US President. As far as being qualified, hell, in 10 months I'll be 100% qualified to be President. Any 35 year old Natural Born Citizen with the preceding 14 years of US residency is 100% qualified. Anything beyond that is arbitrary and completely subjective. We've let Ivy League grads with 'experience' run the country for over a century, and it's been about the worst century so far. Maybe let's not run Rich Old Man/Lady 2020?

  9. It is YOUR freedom AND responsibility to make yourself the RECIPIENT of said profit. Refuse to be a weak, useless victim. There is only one person on earth responsible for your victimhood and failure, and you can confront them in the mirror.

  10. I see all these people talking about high school, but I read this in 6th grade recreationally. Maybe that young formative experience is why I'm so ardently opposed to censorship of any type.

  11. Yes, and if you try to lie to people and say the Earth revolves around the sun, the consensus is we'll torture and murder you for heresy. I"m sure that could never happen again, oh wait, it did to Alfred Wegener. I just really don't want our descendants looking back at us primitive single-planet, barely above animal humans and say "Lol, can you imagine? People used to believe that they had something to do with the climate? Like, they actually thought they were even a fraction of a percentage significant enough to have that kind of effect? What a bunch of ego-maniac idiots. We have the power to cross the galaxy in seconds now, and not even we can change the climate...and I wish we could, this ice age is getting old."

  15. That's like saying since Apple released the new iphone I don't like soup any more. Rick and Morty is a great show, and besides being animated I fail to see any connection whatsoever to South Park. Game of Thrones is amazing, but it didn't make The Walking Dead lose it's 'sharm' .

  17. Oh, and I almost forgot, you then go on to analyze the act of doing nothing rather than acting at all.

  18. He he, none of anything you mentioned have anything to do with why no one wants to go to Kansas. Those issues are about 30 points down on that list, far past "Flat" and "Boring".

  19. 4:17 wow, that's actually a really deep, relevatory observation. Revolutions are almost always portrayed as moving from one thing to the next in that context, but every other usage does mean ending up right where you started every time.

  20. No ad for BetterHelp? Ah, 2019

  23. If they were going to do serialization, they could have just done all 10 shows at once in a few weeks during the summer, ran one each week and vacationed all season. No need to make a new episode weekly if the plot is already set and you're not going to take the chance to satirize current events that happened or may still be happening the week of airing.

  24. Especially if they're trying to stay current and relevant to events that may happen in the world. Serialized, you don't always have the flexibility to skewer or satirize something unexpected that may have just happened or even still be happening when the episode airs, which they are famous for.

  25. Yeah but whatever happened to the Confession Bear Meme, the original OG depression meme?

  27. I'm very impressed by the compositing or matting or whatever technical term this style of effect is called. Excellent usage.
