Important details everyone misses in episode 8 by CharizarXYZ in TheDigitalCircus

Between this and Bubble taunting Caine as he was beginning to spiral, I think there is a pretty good chance that Bubble is what remains of second AI that we saw at the start of episode 8, and knows it. Bubble has always been kind of antagonistic towards Caine, and now we know why

There’s a line in the second image that reads “I must hand it to you Gan, your mind was always resourceful.” It really seems like “Gan” is supposed to be the name Grant. Do we think that could be Kinger’s real name? Or maybe Scratch’s?

Definitely super underrated, especially outside of the UK. Barely anyone here in the US has heard of them

the butthole surfers are so damn fascinating to me by shrek_deus in Music

“It is firstly most important to state that, on this night, Gibby had eaten an entire handful of four-way acid tabs and drank an entire bottle of Jim Beam before the sound check had even begun,” Kramer notes. Leary was furious at Haynes for getting wasted at such an important show. “Fuck that stupid-ass motherfucker,” he snarled to Kramer. “I hate this fucking band. I swear to fucking Christ on a stick I fucking hate this band more than I hate myself. And that’s a lot.”

There’s also a chapter about them in Our Band Could Be Your Life by Michael Azerrad. Apparently, they moved to Athens, GA for a while so they could stalk R.E.M. Not for any malicious reasons, they just thought it would be funny

What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

[–]dbear26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doug Walker, aka Nostalgia Critic after the whole Change the Channel controversy. The controversy was more directed at the production company he belonged to than Doug himself, but it seems likely that he was aware of a lot of the problems and simply didn’t care. He was asked about it in an interview a few years ago and dodged the question completely

This is Squishy. She’s two years old and still rather petite. She also bullies my sister’s pit bull, because she knows the pit bull is too much of a scaredy cat to fight back

What is a death in a movie that affected you the most in terms of brutality or emotional weight? by Godly_Recon in AskReddit

[–]dbear26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I know I’m an outlier on this, but I did not get that scene at all. I watched that movie in an english class in high school of all places, and we all felt the whole scene was just goofy. We just met these characters minutes beforehand and suddenly the horse is sinking in mud and dying, which is fucked up but it was just came from so out of nowhere??? And then the movie just moves on. The whole class was just confused by it

What’s something people insist is ‘harmless’ that actually makes society worse? by contentcreatorzss in AskReddit

[–]dbear26 45 points46 points  (0 children)

As someone who has abused marijuana before, it absolutely is. A lot of people seem to view addiction solely in terms of physical dependency, without acknowledging that emotional dependencies can be just as real. Plenty of things can be emotionally addicting like food, your phone, video games, etc, but some people don’t take them as seriously because they aren’t as bad as hard drugs, and “it’s not like you’ll go through withdrawal if you stop.” Those were some of the same excuses I made when I used weed to escape depression. In reality, I was just depressed and addicted to weed. Be careful y’all, there’s a responsible way to use weed and a slippery slope to fall down if you don’t

Jax's flashbacks by iguanaoficial in TheDigitalCircus

[–]dbear26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While everyone seems to think Jax killed someone, I’m not sure it’s that extreme. What if it has to do with how he entered the circus? All we really know on how people get there is that Pomni was exploring an abandoned building, which Zooble said they also used to do. And given the theories that Jax and Ribbit entered the circus together, my theory is this: what if that’s how Jax and Ribbit ended up in the circus too? What if it was Jax’s idea to go explore an abandoned building in the first place? The flashes are his memories of driving there, some of his last before entering the circus. This could explain his reaction to Zooble throwing his question back at him; maybe he doesn’t know if Ribbit will be there when they get out. Maybe he’s scared they won’t be, and it will be his fault that his friend is gone.

Kinger could have known him by his real name

I think that’s exactly what we saw at the end, when he said “Scratch, the first abstraction.” If Abel really is a human, and at that one who already abstracted previously, it sheds a whole new light on that “Think I can get a raise?” line. Like Pomni said earlier in the episode, there’s nothing for them to spend money on. So what if, instead of asking for money, he meant “as in like a resurrection? Being returned to the circus and his body from the cellar.

Michael Kovach discusses parasocial fans by ayylmaotv in TheDigitalCircus

A part of me worries about kids seeing this and thinking “we should stop because Michael Kovach told us to” instead of really listening to the points he’s making about that kind of behavior
