I'm pretty sure that there is a somewhere a method to train your cat to eat pills. Like at first, click with your clicker and if the cat comes nearer, feed them a treat. Do that for sometime, then train them to open their mouth etc. etc.

There's a lot of tutorials on dogs about stuff like this.

This is such a good post toasthaste! Applause to my comoderator, folks!

Especially what you said about Adventure Time. It's pretty weird in a way that it got so much mainstream media and critical attention back in, like, season four as it has come such a long way since then. I wonder where the fandom went too - honestly that might be about some changes in media habits, AT isn't on Netflix. The viewership per episode is under a million nowadays, down from about 3M at top.

The fandom backlash is way older than Gem Harvest, like House Guest and Keep Beach City Weird in Oct. 2014, which were both before Jailbreak (with its Garnet vs. Jasper fight) that really helped the fandom grow. Say Uncle, Bismuth, Chille Tid, some Sadie and Lars episode I've forgotten the name of and some shipping dispute between Amethyst-Peridot-Lapis that really made some fans pissed off and Alone at Sea too.

I think the scheduling is what is actually annoying lots of fans more than anything else. There was a dip in production quality too at some point which some eagle eyed fans apparently think was down to some specific production studio in Korea since it was noticeable only in some episodes.

I actually think that the growth of /r/StevenUniverse has something to do with fandom behavior. It's probably no secret that Tumblr and Reddit fandoms of the show are symbiotic with each other, it brings a large audience for Tumblr generated content and the communities overlap. Reddit holds grudges forever on a lot of topics; on a many of superficial ones they've been relentless to the degree that people like me who care less for the complaints must have unsubscribed.

The second paragraph was me digressing into how I don't care terribly much how Woke or Good a blog is, for the reasons given, not referring to, describing or explaining the piece at hand, mea culpa. Deputy editorship of course carries more of a signal about what the publication considers itself to be.

I posted this despite the fact it was on Jezebel, but I haven't been following it for a while.

In the end, these blog sites are all surprisingly similar. I feel like the main distinctions are low-middle-(high)^1 brow and ideology and inside each basket, it's pretty similar. The writers keep circling and their work is published where ever it's published.

I understand all your words but I didn't still see anything like that in the video.

My guess is that they wanted to make something that appeals to parents something fierce and something physical and low-tech might win legitimacy points on that front. Maybe they'll educate parents about save points, too, soon?
