I throw six of them off of the plane. The other person has cancer and is going to die soon. Who gets the two parachutes?

I assume the same person villianous enough to throw six parachutes off of a plane wouldn't just keep one for themselves. That would leave just one, and the terminal patient would get it by default.

Heh, looks like I'd end up in my favorite part of the Charlie's Angels credits after all (the part where Elizabeth Banks tells ole girl that she has to land the plane herself -- then hops off with the last parachute).

My late husband would literally fill the dispenser to the top, which is about a full cup of detergent.

I tend to do that too, and pour less based on how small the load is.

Too much detergent not only wastes money, it can actually make your clothes dingier because you might not be able to rinse off all the residue.

This makes sense, but mentally I think people see all the visible stains and immediately think to overuse. And we haven't even gotten into pre-treating over just tossing a day-old dirty load in the wash.

Funerals are a scam.

At least parts of it are. I can understand the casket and a plot of ground, but everything else and the flowers can be written off.

There are trailers to carry a casket, there are venues that rent by the hour and ample planning can keep so many people from needing to ferry the dead half-way across the city. I already never understood why folks needed a limo for a such a somber occasion. Give me a short bus. We're just driving down the block anyway (^-^).

So much to unpack about this story, but the thing that stands out for me is that the woman thought god was going to throw everyone a signal of the rapture with an eclipse of all things.

If she read past the word 'rapture' she should know that the whole idea of it is that NO ONE will know when it is coming. That is the point.

The biggest issue is that none of the characters truly stood out. Oh sure there's a talking bear, but I can't even remember his name much less what he even did.

So much this. It is exactly why I brought up Klaus from American dad. If you have a talking animal, you really have to up your game to make it stand out.

As for what the bear did, he was Cleveland's co-worker and I believe it was for a cable company.

They don't always get the openings they want. So they'll often switch between jumping around and riding someone's bumper. Those driver's make me far more nervous because I don't know if they'll react in time to avoid rear ending me if they're behind me, or avoid side swiping me if they're to my side.

Switch the word 'nervous' for 'angry' and you have my reason for picking fast in the poll as well.

Slow drivers will never rear end my car, and I can pass them in the left. Fast drivers are all over the place and may not even stop if they do hit my vehicle because they are already driving like they have to @%#.

'Ok'

I could pick out a few of the secondary characters that were memorable (the large woman in the motor scooter was one).

Unlike Family Guy with Meg or American Dad with Klaus, there wasn't a standout character (other than Cleveland) that makes you want to tune in when they get a episode all to themselves. Rylo maybe had one or two good episodes where he was the center. Cleveland Jr mostly made me feel bad for him whenever he was the focus.

At its core, the Cleveland show was adequate at being a sitcom about family (matters). It needed more goldfish rapping or young ladies trying to find a Santa claus just to sit in his lap.

Well obivously no. Who was watching a Saturday morning cartoon back then and thought past all of that once the credits rolled? Most of us (then) just saw it as a cartoon.

Venom became one of my favorites solely due to the 90's Spiderman cartoon. I know there are other versions of him and I know about the Sony films, but after that cartoon went off the air, I was one of those that said "Oh well.."

Not downplaying it, just constantly reminding that the U.S. has minority groups that could be oppressed (or being oppressed currently) as well.

We got states over here banning and burning books. George Takei from Star Trek wrote a graphic novel that was educational and that got banned enough for me to even know it existed, and you're going to tell me that I should not vote for Biden over something that is happening in a country half way across the globe (and ignore that religion is scarily stepping over the line in the country I currently reside in).

I don't mind learning stuff, but I also admit I don't keep up with comics or try to keep up with my favorite characters past the media they are featured in. I already prefer video games because you can play them alone without asking people who aren't as 'geeky' to sit down and get into the lore.

With how high some car insurance premiums are getting, I can't blame the topic creator that much for not wanting to drive.

One thing I personally hated was when the car insurance company I was with did so poorly that they got bought out by one of the ones you see on television with all the celebrity ads.

I wouldn't have brought car insurance up except in some states, you may as well call it a tax for being in the driver's seat.

-- Streaming only
-- I already know what happened to most of that cast after the first cartoon ended (especially Jubilee)
-- It is easier for me to conclude that this cartoon is for the people who vaguely watched the original

As a matter of fact, from the rumblings I heard since the first cartoon ended, my favorite X-men Rogue is either dead or became so powerful she is some other worldly being. That is why I'm fine with not revisiting this, among other reasons.
