    I’ve only seen a couple episodes of Bluey but one of them they were all doing something outside and all of a sudden a football came out of nowhere and whacked the dad in the nuts. It was very funny. 10/10 show.

      There was one that it was implied at the beginning that the dad and his neighbor were trying to one up each other so the Dad bought a pizza oven. In the end it was cuz the dad and the neighbor wanted to make different pizzas and swap them😂

    Well maybe if Walt wasnt such a god awful cunt of a character from start to finish. Dont get me wrong, great show, Cranston is a acting beast. I know he is great cause I hate Walt more than I love the dad from Malcolm in the middle.

    For those out of the loop with Bluey, it’s a fucking amazing kids show. I really can’t compare it to anything that came before, the style, the music, topics that they cover (and even how they approach things). It’s truly a once in a lifetime show kinda like the original LOTR trilogy. Lola Sebastian just recently did a video touching on it and comparing it to the MAGA copycat, “The Mundane Misery of MAGA’s Bluey Copycat”. A good 2 hour video to put on for entertainment and get the gist of the show.

      I don’t have kids, but I had heard that people with kids and dogs had noticed that their dogs were watching Bluey too. So I started putting on episodes of Bleuey for my dogs when I’d have to go run errands. Yep, I’ve now watched quite a bit of Bluey, and it’s a damn good show.

      Sleepytime makes me cry every time. The symbolism surrounding concepts of growing up, facing the future (or current) death of one’s mom / parent… the simple joys and quiet moments between parents and their kids and the orchestral arrangement and performance of Gustav Holst’s masterpiece classic suite “The Planets” is a moment of devastatingly bittersweet television perfection captured in a 7-minute episode of a children’s cartoon.

      What the heck, MAGA needed to oppose Bluey? Maybe I haven’t watched enough but I don’t see it as particularly political. I guess it’s anti- “children should be seen and not heard” if that’s still a thing on the far right.

        I don’t think oppose is the right word

        I watched one episode of the copycat (tons of bluey though) and it’s more that they thought they could take it, slap on a conservative veneer and call it a day. It felt very soulless compared to the original

      Unironically Breaking Bad is kind of what a MAGA version of Bluey would look like.

      “Consequences for our actions? No, no, there’s a way out of this…”

      “Difficult emotions? Don’t open up to those closest to you!! Recede into fear. Deal drugs if you have to. Just don’t be a bitch and run out of money lol.”

      I think of Bluey as a cartoon for parents that kids also like.

      The only thing in a similar vein is Phineas&Ferb, even if it’s a very different show. Everyone in my household, ages 5, 10, 11, 14, 39, and 43, were syched upon learning that there would be a new season.

        I just hurts my soul that it’s inconsistent.

        By population decimal point wins?

        I don’t really care which, but my heart craves standardisation*

        (*where it makes sense. I don’t think language based differences in how many digits between separators needs to be world-wide. Eg. In East Asia you separate in groups of 4 digits, not 3 because of language)

          I’d be willing to give up my habit, but imagine the DECADES of constant confusion, mistakes and accidents because 8 years into the change you need to figure out whether the right number is 4.827 or 4,827 in the document you’re looking at… And now you need to investigate the creation date.

            Eh, it’s already fairly obvious using both systems side by side across the internet.

            Though I suppose in actual work you’re correct. I use 3 decimal places for metres on drawings a lot, because I like it to be easy to read the mm.

            It being 1,000 m or 1.000 m is of course a huge difference haha

            But commas and dots don’t form part of the metric system?

            Ihr könnt gerne umwechseln wenn ihr wollt :3

            My main argument for the English/Chinese/Indian system (I have no idea where this system originated), is that in many languages (including German), commas function as pauses and full stops (period, by the Americans) as a stronger separator between thoughts, so it makes more sense to seperate digits with commas (in my opinion)

            It’s all ultimately arbitrary, and I don’t really care which we pick.

      The fact that people don’t like Skyler is intentional. At some point you’re supposed to ask “why am I cheering for the drug dealer over this woman”? That disconnect is a huge part of why the story is so engaging. They make you root for the bad guy over the good guys, even when you shouldn’t.

        When I watched Breaking Bad, I was mesmerized by Walt’s descent from a man who just wanted to help his family into the monster he became.

        When I watched it the second time, I realized there was no descent. The monster was there from the first frame, but I had been used to seeing the main character as essentially good.

        Brian Cranston’s performance gets praised all day every day online, and against all odds it lives up to the hype.

      I’m a convert. Comma is the larger symbol which should be used for the more significant delimiter. Comma for decimal, periods for thousands separator.
