Yep.

I listened to coast to coast am from like 04 through 14. I enjoyed the stories and thr weirdness. But at the core of everything was the believers could not be wrong. Proof against was just further evidence of deeper conspiracies.

Nothing could be falsified. No tests or explanations proved anything but the preconceived. It was all inductive. Yes conspiracies exist for real, but they use that logic to think they are everywhere and are behind everything no matter what.

I think it is a coping mechanism for those that have lost hope and trust in others. They trust nothing and find what little shreds of community they can with the similarly alienated.

Being a critical thinker is good. Questioning is fine. But those activities are seeded with rationality and the willingness to modify positions based on evidence. The conspiracy theorist does not engage in those behaviors.

I do in a broad sense. They have clearly been fooled by others or suffer from various malfunctioning thought processes. I figure most have just been propagandized by those they trust giving false witness. That is something can happen to nearly all of us in just the right scenarios.

In short, I have sympathy for those buying the BS to some degree but only scorn to the sellers of it -- The the two faced leaders, the snake oil salesmen, and opportunists.

My father died from COVID on Christmas day. I am not sure I will ever forgive those who hoodwinked millions for profits and power in exchange for the lives of people like Dad.

I didn't know about hmong people before. After I read a story about her, I did some more reading about the group. In my book, that is why covering things like this matter.

Let's also be real. The Olympics are all about the biographies and histories of the competitors. The games are always in the US at least covered as human interest stories and not purely athletic.

No I would agree. I don't think Nick ever does much that really pushes art or design. They did with maybe Ren and Stimpy, Rocko, or Kablam, but really, most of their stuff, is rather bland.

Cartoon Network definitely has an overall higher tier of artistic expression in their library. Also a lot of variety in styles and tone.

I get a loss of a child vibe followed by strange attachments, projection, and the creation of a maladapted coping mechanism. Mix in some hallucinations and your lamb is your kid now.

Demon sheep are likely a metaphore for the sub conscious knowing the lamb doesn't belong as a person and knowing it belongs in its real world, with the sheep and its actual mother.

Hot take from seeing several avant garde films and reading lots of weird books

Chimps are just as scary as gorillas. They rip your face off like wrapping paper.

Yep and they are apparently just more ruthless, in human terms at least, than gorillas.

Well that is the recent story of some gorillas fighting like 20 Chimps. Went on for like a. Hour but the gorillas retreated and one of their children dead. The Silverback apparently did as much as he could but ended up running to save their lives.

So at least in this context it shows a gorillas will run in a life or death situation as opposed to just the death.

Yeah 2 is my favorite. I liked how alive the city felt and how pretty it was in spots. Felt like a real city more than a skate parked that looked like a city in 3. Plus it was seamless. I loved starting up on the heights and skating all the way to the coast.

I loved three but yeah I hope this one is more like 2 or 1.

Yep tried skate xl. Not a fan.

Session. Is cool but really needs finish
