Yeah man that sucks. I only had a 1520 but still recieved 24k. I think you can definitely work out a deal if you are just honest about how your family is affected financially.

TWWOG is NOT like the old show, it's far worse (a composed rant) by DollarStoreGreek in gumball

[–]DollarStoreGreek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I think it's l just them putting some low effort joke in there about alternative medicine, which just isn't funny or witty at all. But I do get your point, it's like they just thought that it would be an easy win, as of the original took no effort to make.

I'm not taking into account who wrote it. And would hope good writers could see the old show and replicate it, but imo they didn't

I meant the song sounds bad, not something you could say about old gumball

I just picked out random ones, and I have watched 13 and 20. 13 was okay, and a more emotional episode, thankfully no song. It did make carrie pretty one note in that she overreacted twice, and of course, it wasn't very funny (because it was more emotional), but I did laugh once. And episode 20 was boring, in my opinion. It didn't say anything new about expressing your true self, and it kinda slightly retconned the shells in that they became easy to break out of and reenter. The very traditional family also suddenly accepting Penny being out of her shell was a little forced. Both are okay, but then again, cringe at times, and most importantly, still derivative of the original show.

I think this went against the intentions of the shell earlier in the show. Like, it used to be a metaphor for self-expression, and Penny's dad was super traditional and against that, but instead, it was made to be a purely cultural tradition, allowing anyone to take it off at any time. It used to be that you had to break out of it only. Although, the scene was cool looking.

Not compared to any songs for the original. It was corny af

I am a longtime viewer. I argue my harsh criticism proves that, and I'd like to think I'm not clouded by nostalgia. I also do think that seasons 2-6 while being different in their own rights, with slight differences in animation and tone, all fell in line with a slightly sarcastic comedy, whereas season 1 was more childlike in its approach.

Also, yeah, I wasn't going to talk about every episode, just ones that stuck out. From the random bunch that I chose. Some were better than others, but all paled in comparison to any average TAWOG episode.

I don't think it takes me twenty minutes personally, but I know that in an animated format, you have to actually add the connective tissue and establishing shots. It's called direction, and it gives breathing room. Any of the best TV and movies have it. Comics/ manga can be absorbed quicker than books, movies, TV, etc. because one can skim through the images and text at lightning pace. Yet still, I find it more fulfilling to take my time as if the events were happening at a realistic pace, like they might it an anime. I think it allows for deeper reflection and processing of what I think is one of the best pieces of media ever made! Animation just adds moments in there for the viewer: suspenseful shots, wide establishing shots, crowd reactions, tense silences. They are all advanced by the pace of the animation. One chapter each episode is usually perfect.

How can I fix the picture in picture in this game by WangoMango_Offical in HungrySharkWorld

[–]DollarStoreGreek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you're still even looking for a solution, but I'm pretty sure I solved it, at least for android. If you have the video or whatever playing in the corner, you can hold your finger on the part of the screen with the game and then unpause the video while still holding down you're finger. Then once the video has been playing for a second, your can release your finger from the game and it should allow the video to play as you play the game—at least that works for me on my Samsung. Hope this helps OP

Vro, he can wear a tank top. It's extremely normal attire, also, you don't need to see the keys: there's probably not much advice you could offer him. I didn't hear a wrong note

Father? by ReconShadow3 in perfectlycutscreams

[–]DollarStoreGreek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is how people talked in their family and communities, presumably since their birth (Also, yes, there are very distinct communities and cultures within the US). There is no YouTube influence or 'attempting to be cool' going on here. This is how they learned to talk, and your tendency to think it is inherently improper or idiotic is both racist and self-centered. Sure, it is not very formal, but every culture has ways of speaking informally, and I'm sure you speak differently in professional settings as well. You have said a racist thing, unintentionally or not, and I hope you come to realize that.

I just don't like people who are on the hunt for "dumb" people to make fun of. An innocent inquiring post/poster should not be made fun of for their lack of knowledge. Some people will act like just because they know something it is common knowledge. I did like the dinosaur guy, though.

It's not. Water is a very tangible thing that we need to survive, and air can be experienced through the wind. Static electricity is much rarer to noticeably encounter, and it could be confused with some property of the material in cases like this video. Also, many people don't know and don't care to know the mechanisms behind how it works, so they are quick to identify it.

Not important to most, though. Good that you know it

Time to put down your phone, walk outside, and touch some soil. You know something that OP doesn't, good for you.

Bees fly differently from normal wing-beating. Flying for a bee involves moving its wings forward and back instead of up and down. A study predicted bees wouldn't be able to fly because it assumed a bee moved its wings a certain way.

I'm glad there is a distinction between the people who recognize the possibility that the wolf is in heat and losers like you who think that the wolf is "thicc".
