That's crap. If you're gonna give my kid a proper customizable soundboard so they can get creative with how they fuck with me at least that's something. This is just lord of the flies conch shell shit
I miss when StumbleUpon was good. I tried to go back to their new whatever-thing, and it just sucked. The internet changed too profoundly for it to survive, and its latter day mutations have not improved its viability.
Newgrounds is still surprisingly fertile soil. It's a different crowd, but they're definitely doing weird new shit still
I left America and I sometimes struggle not to be self-loathing about it. I love a lot of American-made culture, but it pains me to see people who prefer the giant trucks, the myth of "rugged individualism", and the false machismo around guns, misogyny, and nationalistic tendencies.
I like a version of America that probably never actually existed beyond the imaginations of a minority of us. Those old world Enlightenment ideas melded with the optimism of the new are still attractive to me. I still can't listen to this sort of thing without getting a little swept up in it. I'll never make a proper cynic, I fear.
By all means like what you like, and it's nice if you like American stuff - but we have more to offer than just crutches for fragile egos, and it doesn't take a disillusioned seppo to see it for what it is.
I give to wiki, but recently convinced my wife we don't need Netflix. Feels great tbh
Such people make life worth living
I would love to have a soundboard that played sounds in calls. I'd answer the phone like Wolfman Jack all "caller, you're on the air! gorilla noise, honk"
At that point people will just start keeping debt ledgers with each other and carry on without me. Other currencies would pop up. I'd have to spend at volume in every direction just to keep the money from becoming irrelevant.
I really wanted to like it more because they made some really cool choices in the design of it. I can see why it didn't sell well, but it should have at least been more influential
The cartoons of the mid to late 2000s were pretty good though, it must be said
It's up to you whether your want to do the bare minimum. Look at Hieronymus though, he's got over 37 pieces of flair. And a massive codpiece.
May you ride eternal, shiny and chrome. I solved that shit by moving somewhere with trains, but you're on the money. My last car didn't even have power windows.
