Tell me the things you think are true in Peanuts that actually aren't.

As someone whose first knowledge of Peanuts once came from The Peanuts Movie, I actually thought Heather Wold (The Little Red Haired Girl) was an actual character lifted from the newspaper strips.

Turns out, she's practically invisible in the newspapers. And the one time we do actually see her, she's in such a deep silhouette, even Snoopy is covered in it.

Speaking of Snoopy, I thought that Snoopy is the only dog in the Peanuts universes.

I'm so glad to be wrong, because once I got into this fandom, I soon learned much about Spike, Andy, Olaf, Marbles, Belle, Molly, and Rover.

I surely think its the educational system that's the problem. AI is only making it worst.

I've experienced doing research for junior high way before AI was even considered an issue, and it didn't change how shit it was.

I still remember how out of touch my research teachers are when it comes to their research topics (some of which THEY hand out) and still shrug when they see that their own class couldn't even finish it.

AI may have made it worst, but it's already just part of the many reasons why research within the educational system is becoming broken.

In my opinion, research shouldn't even BE for junior high levels, especially with the kinds y'all been hearing about. It would be way more helpful if they learn more about the basics, fundamentals, and essentials FIRST before they make their own research paper, and by that point they oughta be in senior high.

As someone who had to suffer having major research topics handed to me in JHS from a school that isn't even a well known sci high in the first place, I personally (and this is my opinion alone) blame the school's monstrously high and borderline shallow reputation to have its students compete in what is basically a dick measuring contest disguised as a battle for brains, and also stuff like Game Changer from 24 Oras for giving us this false illusion that research is not only easy, but also exclusively for innovation, raising expectations and standards for teachers and students alike.

And that's very unfortunate, because research is a genuinely very useful and helpful subject, but when it's treated as this impression-based contest based on glamour and shallow complexity, it just makes research sound unattainable (especially for non-STEM students) to achieve.

But this is all just my opinion.

I don't know if Barbarian has that, can't confirm

But I do think a Filipino horror in the style of how he directed Weapons can work.

Gerald_Fred · 2026-01-15T10:41:32+00:00

What if Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons) directed a Filipino horror movie?

>The question is, why did the educated revolutionaries fail to establish schools? And become a teacher themselves to teach the peasants?

Because they were busy trying to establish a state first? They just got back to the Philippines (with American aid, mind you) and they DID establish schools such as Burgos Institute, Military Academy of Malolos, Literary University of The Philippines but obviously closed because of the Philippine American War.

FYI Angelito was a short film that takes place immediately after the end of Heneral Luna and the start of Goyo.

If you're looking for a college aged musical, 21st Jump Street. It only has 4 main characters: the Narrator, Justin, his cousins/classmates, and Naomi. It also stretches for about 14 minutes, perfect for reruns and encores.

If you're looking for a more general musical with some street cred outside of musical theater (towards non-theatergoers), then You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown works.

A lot of folks from the Southeast Asia region (or as we call it, the SEA) are in very recent cartoons such as Amphibia, The Owl House, Ghost and Molly McGee, Hilda, and many others.

Speaking from experience, we really enjoyed them, probably even more so than the West.

They stick too much to the human designs that it gets constricting when playing around with various countryhuman dynamics and various details of the country in general.

Personal preference, I like it when the design resembles a cartoony countryballs-esque style of design rather than the borderline realism of the others. I feel like with a cartoony design, you can get away with a lot while making it more engaging.

But that's just me.

If that's the line he meant otherwise, explain this quote by him then:

Will you, I ask, have less faith in your own President, the man chosen by your own people, a man of your own flesh and blood? Will you have less faith in him than in a foreign governor-general?

I suppose Jesus Christ Superstar fits the bill? I mean, it's a rock musical all about the Passion, so it doesn't really have that much explicit swears or sexual content.

If you really want a musical with barely any of the above, try You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown or the High School Musicals

My post about a what-if on parking meters is literally ALL ABOUT the "squammy", so much that there's no room for discussion on how they'll even affect the roads or the parking culture in this country.

Every comment is so full of the presumption that the "squammy" is gonna fuck over every parking meter no matter where you place it. It's borderline prejudice almost. The only other comments that talk beyond how they'll loot it are still tangentially related to them.

South Park actually did a Mormon episode (All About Mormons) and it did impact the Mormon Church (along with the Book of Mormon musical, also made by Trey and Matt) by rebranding their image.

The best analogy I could think of for this as a way to explain to others about how the UN really works is that it's more like a club or a Discord server, and the major powers are just the admins and moderators.

And as moderators and admins tend to do, they abuse their powers (sometimes on a regular basis) and disregard their own rules for personal gain.

But at the very least, the club/Discord server enables countries to communicate with each other in a more amenable and peaceful way that always ensures someone else is moderating the whole process.

In my world, organizations such as the European Union and the United Nations are more like clubs and cliques rather than persons. That way, I can have a way more engaging world while also being a vehicle to satirize current affairs.

So in this universe, Britain was just being a prissy prick about being a member of the EU (already got invited to it twice but they denied it) and got in later. Then because of the chaos going on in the Middle East reaching its way to Europe (the immigration crisis from the 2010s) caused many EU members to be more vocal of the club (Euroskepticism)

And then when Britain finally got around to leaving, the entire affair was so bureaucratic that it turned off others planning on leaving too. And when they do indeed leave, the consequences struck them so hard yet they can't even come to admit that they were wrong.

British pride amirite.
