I was looking over one of my previous posts, on alternatehistory.com, and I noticed this nice tidbit on the Alternate History wiki's Hall of Infamy entry on the user/lolcow 'hendryk':

Hendryk has like other members of AH.com become engrossed with tv_tropes upon discovering said website, and contributes to it as Cao Cao.

Of course alt history spergs are also tropers.

Indeed there seems to be a crossover. Ever got so bored you decided to go troping on a totally different website?

Aside from "The Rubber" animation videos being pretty good, I say SCP autism has since degraded after a while. Not by much, but it's no longer that crazy (if you can ignore the wiki's malignant overreach).

I think you’re either on the wrong thread, or you have completely misinterpreted the question. This was about Build-a-Bear Workshop, the teddy bear store. From what I can tell, they still exist, and still do reasonably well.

Lol, my bad. That being said, never really heard of it.

This movie is too metaphysical for them.

And yes, it's a Pixar film.

I honestly don't get who asked for it. Like every third ad on TV was this damn movie and I couldn't be asked to give a shit. Maybe because I'm an adult, but I don't know any kid who isn't into music classes who gives a fifth of a fuck about jazz.

I think it's just another attempt on cashing in on the Black Lives Matters movement; but that might be coincidental, considering that Floyd was killed last year.

Soul was already in production for some time before Fenty Floyd OD’d, starting around 2016. There was actually a tumblr/Twitter nontroversy about how Disney makes most of their BIPOC (god I hate that term) protagonists nonhuman for most of the movie due to early trailers mostly depicting the spirit world.

Of course they'd have a page for this!

And to nobody's surprise, they unironically like Chuck Tingle in 2020.

Not Always Right has always struck me as a series of Things That Definitely Happened written up by entitled wagies that want to come up with excuses for why they mistreat customers. While I know from experience that customer service sucks, it’s obvious that the stories of racist customers being shut down by stronk POC employees are bunk, and it feels like most follow that vein nowadays.

A lot of those stories sound fucking insane, especially through TVT's perspective.

The episode of The F Plus on Not Always Right is easily one of my favorites.
