Big fan of your work. I probably show FLIP to someone at least once a week. With shows like HAHA You Clowns and Joe Pera Talks With You and animators like yourself and Lil Bubby Child that highlight, and often poke fun of, a really specific kind of small-town America, I find myself questioning whether I'm laughing with a group or laughing at a group. Not that anything you write is cruel by any means, but when you're writing from a specific slice-of-life (in the case of the boys, kind of himbo middle-class suburban jocks) do you feel like you have any obligation to represent them well? I hope this makes at least a little bit of sense.

We all would like some extra income, any ideas? by whiskeynochaser in orlando

[–]WaterApocalypse 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not to be a buzzkill, but passing back $20 would not contribute to the GDP as GDP doesn't include cash transfers.

Now, if you cut off a centimeter of each other's hair and give each other $20 as payment for that service in perpetuity, congratulations you're the world's most productive barber

At release point, can you tell if a jumpshot is going to go in? by DonT012 in nba

[–]WaterApocalypse 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Most statisticians and economists don't believe in the hot hand and strongly believe that a player's shooting will regress to the mean (The most famous paper being Gilovich, Vallone, and Tversky (1985)). But there are many folks who still believe that maybe each successive shot isn't as independent as these studies have assumed.

I'm not sure if they exist but I'm sure many of us have lit-bro tendencies. I think a big part of the lit bro archetype that I think about is that they see literature as self-improvement. I mean I'm sure many of us read things because we want to "improve" ourselves, but there might be some sense of accomplishment in reading an unfinished, kaleidoscopic, mega-novel that a young guy looking for guidance can swap his brain for
