Idk. It's easier to open a new tab when context switching from n old one than to close old ones or navigate them elsewhere. Also I can't, like, close by domain like all Reddit tabs or what have you.

Reply to comment by devtesla in a really good but absurdly in-depth analysis of where the simpsons went wrong [cw has some ablist language] by hollyhoppet
I read the Zombie Simpsons book but I do feel like it could have gone more into the basic storytelling problems. The best bits were a bit circumstantial, like how much staff they bled or how the show became more cartoony (like pointless chases and so on).

I must agree with Devtesla - the conclusions about Lisa are mostly spot on, but the diagnosis on the whole about the Simpson's decline is mistaken. Actually it could have been a better piece if it was all about Lisa as now the first part seems abandoned in the end.
As an example where the essay falters is seeing one of the episodes this piece mentions (by quoting it) as something absurd and as a vehicle for jokes is Selma's Choice. However, it actually has a very clear three act structure:
- (The Proposal) Marge's mother dies and her family and Patti and Selma meet at her funeral. Mother has left behind a video tape about her deathbed regret of remaining single and tells in it for her daughters avoid her fate. This gets Selma nervous. (Proposal: life without family/lover is unfulfilling.)
- (The Argument) Selma begins dating but doesn't succeed at all. Men are garbage. Selma also visits a theme park with Lisa and Bart and it all ends with chaos.
- (The Conclusion) Selma has a speech in which she concludes that the company of her iguana is plenty enough for her and that not everyone has to have the family or love life like others. She rejects the proposal of her mother. And I'd say this is presented as a positive thing.
Thus the episode is hardly random and in fact the first act is laid down with care, length and clarity to set up the whole thing in motion. You don't even have to know about The Simpsons to get it! "I am the Lizard Queen" is funny in part because it's basically pointing at how terribly Selma fares with kids.

I've read some of TeX book and a little bit of Knuth's journal articles, but face the facts, dude rules and when it seems like he's wrong (like with goto), he always had something interesting to say about it.

This video not only included
- Phalanx, the famous cover for a completely unnotable game that has had the staying power of almost 30 years by now. Guys, this is not a mark of lunacy, but mastership in execution.
- Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy. Just look at the type faces included here. With this video game in your paws, you want to be a furry.

Reply to comment by toasthaste in Three Steven bombs coming this year? by Moonside
I feel like we had better discussions in the fandom in the early days because with a weekly schedule there was time for reacting and anticipation at the same time. So reactions had a direction to go towards and any fan theories already had an excuse which to hook readers with. Now it seems like 98% of the time only fan art makes it in the fandom and there's only so many ways Peridot can smooch Amethyst, right?
I think the bomb format roughly exists because times are difficult in broadcasting and the company needs to have something to make kids excited so boom they have events they can advertise. And the Teen Titans Go! stuff is partly because the parent company owns DC and they need to manufacture the future film audiences.

The answer is... have you considered blankets?
Personally speaking, what I like about this affair is that I know what's coming. Three bombs? Three bombs. No need to go to checkout /r/StevenUniverse every three weeks. The relief does, I think, makes up somewhat for the bomb format. Like previously we never had any inkling what might be coming up until like two or three weeks in advance, if someone leaked some info or if Brazil or France broadcasts or mobile app streams an episode before CN in US? Like hell yes I now know what we're in for.

The warmer stuff gets, the sweeter it generally tastes. So if you have sweet dish you want to serve hot and you taste it cold when adjusting sweetness, you should totally lowball it. In other words, people who bake cinnamon buns are basically wizards.

yeah same, though I do wonder if we should have a place for code. Like Gitlab, but in our control.

Reply to comment by neku in Regarding the cessation of Postmill development by hollyhoppet
It also seems like the PostMill code base is like a million times more tractable than what Reddit had. Like there were a few small fixes I had in my mind to open as issues on Gitlab which are still perfectly feasible to implement. And if I bothered to learn PHP I could apply my own elbow grease in the spirit of oakreef too.

Reply to comment by outwrangle in Pizza or Jupiter? by Moonside
I thought the issue with bad pizza wasn't that it's overcooked, but rather that the oven wasn't hot enough or cheese had too much moisture and it remained gross and soggy.

My phone is similar and I only became aware of the breadth of my achievement when I decided to close them all at the same time, which is when my phone notified about my high score. There was like 20 tabs that had information I wanted to save but couldn't bother to dig them anymore.
