I don't think they play minecraft... You'll probably have to do a jpop-karaoke sing-off to win me.

It's not a bad vision per say. Except it's utopic. His alert system alone would count on places like China playing ball. And we already know they don't. So at best Billy boy is describing an utopia, and we all know how trying to implement utopias usually turns out. Into dystopian nightmares.

Oh no... what should I do... I'm already promised to someone else... if only I knew sooner... I had no idea you felt this way...

Apparently telling people they'll never be women is a hot popular take.
Here's me trying to emulate that:
You'll never be a man.

Jojo's question about cartoons made me think about Ed, Edd 'n Eddy, and then you post this... what are the odds? Also creepy...

Morning straight boy. You slept well with your straight girlfriend?

Not a complete expert, but I'll try to explain how I understood things.
Basically television stations, for the longest time, started with 2 assumptions when it came to their kid audience.

The first one carried on from how they viewed the adult audience: that people don't always have the exact same free time on every day an episode was released. Sometimes they'd catch a couple of episodes with no issues, other times they were likely to miss one or two. Because they didn't want their audience to slowly lose track of the story and become disinterested to the point of abandoning the show, they went for a more episodic approach, where each individual episode is a smaller story you can follow by itself, episodes being at most loosely connected to one another. Star Trek is an excelent example of this.

The second assumption was one that was specifically made about their kid audience: that kids don't have the attention span required to follow complex multi-episodes story lines. While less of an accurate assumption, still some of their younger demographic were likely to lose track of the story. So they went with the lowest common denominator to get as big an audience as possible, and went even harder on the episodic approach, where there might be no connection between episodes at all. Tom & Jerry comes to mind as a good example.

Sarcasm is generally hard to tell in written form. Maybe I'd know for sure if I had the whole context, but as it stands we can only guess.

@SteveTheDragon @mrandyngo
But but but... we were promised that it's the far right nazi white supremacist trumpists that were trying to overthrow the government! How can a totally peaceful and righteous organization like Antifa protest in DC now against a totally fair elected president, that we also just now came out and admitted a cabal was pushing things in his favor all along!

@georgia @coolboymew
Don't know about his second reply, but the first post reads as sarcasm to me.

It's because some brain dead morons were beginning to speculate on this even back then. And don't try to tell me they weren't, I still remember it. My memory is longer than a goldfish.

Miscarriages happen ALL THE TIME. Fun fact, throughout their lives, women are likely to miscarriage a lot more times than they have children, but it usually happens so early in a pregnancy that they don't even notice it.

want to make a bot called 10grains that pretends to be the 10grans bot but pretends to steal all of a users grans if they send a "beg" message to it

I haven't played any of the Donkey Kong games, so still looking for exactly what credits are the ones in your screenshot, but I found this:

So basically confirmed, and it terrifies me...
