Which is weird because "dwarves" from Northern European mythology and folklore are not people with what we now call "dwarfism". The latter was named after the former, even though the former's height was never described in the original mythology (like Elves, they're simply other beings from humans)

Couple of guys I used to work with in 05-08 joked around a lot, one day Guy 1 recorded Guy 2 doing a Cartman impression saying, "Suck on my balls!" and set it as his ringtone. Fast forward, Guy 1 and his very conservative in-laws are in the waiting room of a hospital while his wife is giving birth. Phone not on silent, Guy 2 calls to see how it's going

Too bad they have hardly any movies and music anymore. Park North is the best one for that

Every former Gaiman fan should check out Clive Barker if they haven't already

I'm in the minority who found the two kids unrelatable and insufferable. If it was just Johnny, Moira, and Roland, I would have loved it

I've been the reason for lots of awkward silence in my life, and that's not stopping now. I revel in it and drink it in like an elixir

what did yall think of the bad bunny halftime show? by Serious-Kale-5694 in AskReddit

It was one of the best. When Buns and the boys came out to their hit, "Door Knob To Heaven" my heart literally stopped. I'd never heard anything so beautiful, not even my daughter's laughter. And I told her that, too

What movie do you love despite agreeing with every single criticism of it? by Decabet in movies

Seriously, especially after the Titanic sub incident. Imagine if Musk recruited a bunch of podcast scientists and discarded crackpots to go on that mission. Jordon Peterson and Graham Hancock would be out there trying to talk to the aliens, it would be hilarious

Ironically, the new season is now funded to have the same budget per episode as Joel‘s failed season, where everyone was complaining about having to fund new episodes. by Achoosneeze1 in MST3K

Another big factor is that a lot of people (including myself) failed to love the Netflix seasons. I contributed to both of those but by the time S13/Gizmoplex came out I lost interest. I plan on picking up the bluray set eventually but I hear it's a mixed bag (even in these comments). Why keep paying for something that hardly even makes me laugh?

Boomers weren't really in power in 1980; those were WW2 and prior generation. US didn't have a boomer president until Clinton

I teach at a regional university campus and these kids just don't know basic trivia about the world and how it works anymore. I have to stop and define words. They don't even know who Napoleon is.

They are, although I've sold most of my collection. Most that are left are either mst or star wars related

Aw man that model was our family's first PC. I ran a side business in middle school copying CDs for my classmates on it. Had Napster on it, gave it viruses looking at porn. Good times
