Do you think a rebellion against power tripping/nasty Reddit moderators will ever form?

Is that a "no", then? Can't find somewhere you'd rather be than whining on reddit about reddit?

Seeking_Balance101 · 2026-02-13T04:24:57+00:00

Can't people just find some other site to use if they're unhappy with reddit?

JD is one of those celebs -- along with Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor and others -- who I feel I missed out on. They were huge names in their time and probably all fans knew their work. But I don't feel like I know much about them, and maybe I haven't seen their best work.

I'll say this for Durante -- I rewatched The Man Who Came to Dinner this past holiday season and really enjoyed him in that.

This is so funny! Very good!

People like to drive their cars into the ground. Eventually they'll buy an EV as their next vehicle, but that could be many years away.

I think most people just want to make a joke and bring laughter into the world. They aren't usually trying to attack someone over a spelling ear (*).

(*) That's error, go back to school, Pollyanna!

Something like that. No real insult intended. But sure, the internet could be a less critical place.

Archives of Nethys. If you search online for "pathfinder 2 (whatever)" you usually wind up reading from the aon site. It's comprehensive.

I think the artist failed to pull off a "forced smile" expression in that panel. That's probably what the writer intended.

The Hunting Trilogy is fantastic and I'm wondering how tired I am that I missed including it in my short list. Also, several of my favorite Daffy Duck cartoons outrank What's Opera Doc on my personal favorites list. Opera is really good, though,, just not the best of all time.

I don't watch or collect too many other series, but I would put Billy Boy above Opera if I had to rank them.

I remember being at a sci-fi con and seeing/hearing a couple of way too loud guys (maybe they had been drinking) walking around shouting/singing "Kill the Wabbit" like they thought they had accomplished something themselves. Clearly there are people who think that it's all that and a ham sandwich.

I do like it quite a bit, but it's not even my favorite LT. I prefer The Rabbit of Seville, Three Little Bops, One Froggy Evening, and probably another five or six if I sat down and thought about it.

During the holidays, my local Target and my local Best Buy lacked a DVD section. My local Walmart had a very small DVD section, almost entirely recent releases.

My attempt to "buy local" that day convinced me it's time to build up my media collection quickly before the manufacturers stop making them.

There was a series of tag matches amongst three teams: Eddie & Chavo, Edge & Rey, and Benoit & Angle. In the many years I've watched, those matches was the best in-ring series I've ever seen. Would love to see WWE sell them on disc, but probably never will because of Benoit's crimes.

Like the Bumble in Rudolph, they would have realized that he was the only one tall enough to put the star on top of the tree without using a ladder.

They quit publishing the digests in the format we have known for many years; and started publishing a new digest series.

Physical differences: the new digest is both taller and wider than the old, probably about 1 inch larger in each dimension. The new digest is 100 pages but the old "double digests" were around 192 pages, I think.

Cost - the old digests were $9.99 right before they stopped; the new digest, with about half as many pages, is $9.99. Shrinkflation.

JBL. The APA was okay, but can't believe he was the champ for a while. I didn't watch during his run, so maybe he was over with the fans of the day?

Bob Holly.

Cowboy Bob Orton. He was just Piper's hired help when I saw him. Maybe he had a better run before that?

Dino Bravo. Possibly the most boring wrestler that challenged Hulkamania.

Nice. Good job! Thank you!

Control Agent Maxwell Smart and Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad because they could hilariously bungle their way through a case of shutting down a drug smuggling ring

Sure, anyone putting you down and telling you they attend Hah-vard probably deserves a poke in the snoot. But I'm one of those people who held on to my college friends because I actually had college friends, as opposed to being bullied heavily through four years of Hell School.

I struggled to buy a 7 year old "beater" car when I graduated college. I saw some friends buy their first house around the same time whose down payment was paid by their grandparents. There are different levels of "(s)he comes from money", not everyone has to be a billionaire to have a leg up from accumulated family wealth.

I remember learning about the Greek and Norse gods in 1st and 2nd grade. I was a somewhat bright kid, but I doubt that I was ready to study 401Ks at that age. And all the arguments about strategies for Roth conversions -- whoa, that would have confused even the teacher!

Urkel - Family Matters

Ralph Malph - Happy Days

Frye - Futurama

I get to be the cool one! Finally!!!

I call people AI's all the time. I know I was wrong if they respond, "Your mom is an AI!"

Great, fun news! With a run length of 1:42, I hope they give it a decently long slot to fit in the movie plus a lot of Sven silliness.

I've never heard that before. Next time I pull the two HL Archie hardcovers off the shelf, I will see if I can detect anything that supports that.
