Classics like Bugs Bunny and Animaniacs were always good. Doug. Pepper Anne.
Ones that most people have forgotten or didn't know because they weren't exposed to Canadian shows as a kid:
Science Court was on ABC's One Saturday Morning and I loved it. Technically a Sunday morning one, but The Smoggies for the Canadian people here that are of a certain age! The Raccoons (another Canadian one)
For the black & white movie days... Barbara Stanwyck. I get that in Double Indemnity she's supposed to be an evil bitch, but even in movies where she's supposed to be the one you're rooting for...she's terrible. And in one movie I saw with her I didn't even realise it was her at first and I was still like, 'This person is terrible.' and then I realised it was her.
For the modern day - being somebody born in the 80s that grew up in the 90s... Di Caprio. Even when I was a kid I was like, 'There's something off with him and I don't know it is, but there's something off....' and everybody else is going on about how amazing he is. Now at least we know that he's a predatory creep.
Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm not American, so I wouldn't see this regularly - but I swear I heard about a lotto jackpot or two that hit the billions of dollars (maybe it was close, if wasn't that much). So it's possible (rare as all fuck, but possible on occasion) to get to that - or close to it - without building it on the backs of the working class. If that happened to DominusOfMegadeus then that would be awesome! All for it. It's unfortunately more likely that you're crushing people's spines as you climb the mountain of them to reach that amount though. Blargh...
Since you're already in the Fediverse, I'd suggest looking into PeerTube for your videos rather than going to YouTube as your primary platform.
I currently have a channel, but am going to switch to PeerTube when I have my backlog built up again so I can post in a steady schedule. (Workin' on it...) The only things I'm going to put on YouTube are videos going, 'Hey! I have the video up here! Follow the link!' so that people can actually find it and Words of the Week shorts 'cuz I don't want to feed their AI bullshit that I can't get away from with proper stuff and it's just stick figures and rudimentary drawings with words from the dictionary. Unfortunately, it's not as user friendly to search for stuff on PeerTube as it is on YouTube. I'm hoping that gets fixed sooner rather than later. It'll make things better. sigh
Omg, Tremors...I haven't watched it in years. That was such a good movie.
Yeah. Lately in 20min chunks I've been getting about 4 ad breaks, so if it's an hour+ in length...
And some of those 'ads' are 3min, 5min...one was almost 2hrs! Yes, there's the skip button, but if it's that long then it's not an ad and it has no place in an ad break.
I didn't shut down the computer that way, I'd go through the menus and such. At that point I'd just have to shut off the monitor. If I had to do a restart 'cuz the damn thing froze then yeah, I'd use my foot.
Turning on the tower with your foot...yeah, that unlocks some memories, lol.
Thankfully, this is a fully opt-in experience.
And how long before they decide to make a default instead of opt-in?
With lemm.ee shutting down at the end of the month will you be unlocking this community? Or will it be shifting elsewhere?
Ah...getting the kittens for Miss Cackle's used to brooms. Excellent.
TL;DR - Day's end you can call yourself whatever you want. It would be a problem calling them that when they don't like being called that. But also don't tell somebody else to call you that in hopes they'll get in shit.
You were hoping they'd get in shit for using the word, so your motives in that instance weren't exactly pure. Maybe reflect on that part. It's still weaponising the word.
Generally speaking though, to me it's no different than a woman going up to her group of girl friends and saying ''Sup bitches!!!', or Black people using the n-word amongst each other, or Roma people using g--sy amongst themselves. If a gay person wants to call themself a f-----, have at it!
I had a thing with some girl friends where we'd volley 'slut', 'whore', 'harlot', etc. at each other. We'd also try to get as ridiculous as possible with it the names. A random person shouting those names at us would be a bad thing, but the context and rapport we had with each other changed that in those cases. It's also something I wouldn't do with people I didn't really know regardless of gender since we don't have that background with each other.
I'm part Portuguese and if somebody wants to call me a pork chop I'm like, 'Damn straight!' and I'll sometimes call myself that too. But I won't call my cousin's cousin that because he doesn't like being called that and that's fine.
EDITED TO FIX FORMATTING... (still getting used to things on this platform, lol)
