  • Similarly, the Guinness of the beer and the Guinness of the book of records are the same Guinness. Michelin started as a tire company when there were only approximately 4000 cars in all of France, their home country, and started the restaurant guide as a way of increasing demand for travel, and therefore cars, and therefore tires for cars. Guinness the brewery started the list of records as something to keep on hand to settle arguments in pubs

    Plus like a lot of semi recent sexist analogies it’s a rephrasing of an older racist one with the same logic but proponents are like “that’s different for reasons”, ‘rather a black man or a dangerous animal’ is pretty common in racist circles, just like the ‘you have a bowl of M&Ms, 1/10 are poison. That’s what it’s like to deal with men’ analogy from a few years back grew from the ‘you have a package of Skittles. 1/10 are poison. That’s what it’s like to deal with Muslims’ analogy



  • Depending on your definition of reboot there’s the live action Drake Bell as Timmy sequel movies, and the live action Paramount+ sequel series where the fairies go to a cousin of Timmy, then an upcoming 3d animated one in a few weeks. Live action ones are questionable if they count, haven’t watched them but presumably the Drake Bell ones are a direct continuation, Paramount+ one might be a soft reboot depending on how much they reference old events. New one definitely does look to be an either soft or entire reboot though since Cosmo and Wanda help out an entirely new kid who seems to have no connection to Timmy, though there could still be references.




  • I’m partial to “The question I get asked by religious people all the time is, without God, what’s to stop me from raping all I want? And my answer is: I do rape all I want. And the amount I want is zero. And I do murder all I want, and the amount I want is zero. The fact that these people think that if they didn’t have this person watching over them that they would go on killing, raping rampages is the most self-damning thing I can imagine”
