Yikes.

Building everything from scratch is one thing.

Maintaining it is completely different.

That's honestly fair. Times do, indeed, change.

Older episodes can easily be written off as the violent-humor cartoons of the day were known for. Newer episodes don't have an excuse to making fun of child abuse.

That said, I do wonder if the satirical nature of the Simpsons was supposed to be evident in Homer strangling Bart. It always struck me as something he just 'did.' Not really funny or unfunny, just a facet of the show. It's possible the writers were originally trying to highlight how a dad like Homer might physically discipline his children out of rage while Marge just lets it happen.

Remember, the Simpsons are supposed to be satire.

If you're poor, being an adult is foregoing all of life's pleasures and working until you are incapable of working any longer.

If you're rich, being an adult is indulging in all of life's pleasures and making others do the work for you.

So colossal, we didn't include it in the headline!

That's how I know this is a big nothing-burger.

Telltale sign this is a shitty article.

Good. Nations need to start taking back more than businesses save with tax evasion techniques.

Speaking of, where did that money come from?

Did they just print it?

Weird how when it comes to helping the working class, taxing the rich is never an option. But when it comes to helping the ruling class, you can tax the working class and print money.

News has been neutered.

They're too concerned with stepping on people's toes to show people what matters.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen articles reporting on footage without showing the actual footage.

Most annoying thing: talking heads talking about a video instead of actually showing it.

They waste so much money on these roles that do nothing to help the audience.

Usually, yes.

A great way to breath new life into old hardware is to install Linux.

I noticed something was wrong when every article repeated what I was asking as many times as possible.

They're all pretty much written in the same style now, and it's next to impossible to find the actual information you're looking for under all the bullshit.

I don't blame SEO 'experts' or Google. I blame greed.
