Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a bad story, and people should stop making adaptions of it, loosely or otherwise. 

Tales of eccentric rich assholes abusing the meek will always be appreciated. May Charlie and the Chocolate Factory be akin to Aesop's Fables a thousand years from now.

Jimmy Carter was one of the best presidents. Paradoxically, he's only considered a failure because he wasn't evil enough to be what others think a president should be.

what?

Just because something is clearly satire, and you may agree with every single point made... doesn’t mean the satirical piece will always be funny and perfect regardless. 

Satire isn’t this magical bulletproof force shield that makes your shitty movie hilarious simply because it’s satire. You actually have to try still!

There's always the danger of getting too preachy. When that happens, the audience will get fed up and demand you drop the attempted delivery and say what you mean. If you're not going to try at satire, just state your point in a straightforward way.

I could almost excuse satire being flimsy if people were more honest and genuine about any shortcomings.

I’ve interacted with folks who don’t believe it’s possible to have the same identity politics and still find the work to be flawed and non clever in the slightest. It’s enraging.

What’s the point of even observing anything that’s satirical if you don’t allow yourself to question or critique anything you’re absorbing?

Sriracha just tastes weird to me. I don’t think I like it.

Have you just recently tried it? Supposedly, the new version tastes significantly different. I haven't had the stuff in years myself.

It’s actually been a few years since the last time I tried it. To be fair, I didn’t absolutely hate it. I just wasn’t a big fan. I would be open to trying it again if it has changed.

I heard it has significantly changed for the worse. I don't really like Sriracha that much either, so I dunno.

If it’s changed for the worse, maybe I won’t be trying it again. I would much rather stick with the hot sauces I know I like.

I'd rather listen to Christmas music than watch Christmas movies. Maybe I've outgrown Christmas movies but I just get bored trying to watch any sort of Christmas movie or special with the exception being A Christmas Story and Tokyo Godfathers because to me they're actually good movies in general but anything else is just the absolute shits.

Thanksgiving is better than Christmas

In some ways, it definitely can be. The meal itself is epic! And as a sports fan (well, a football fan, especially), it's one of the best days of the year.

DC is more mature and complex than Marvel. There's a reason DC has to keep rebooting its continuity every decade to make it hospitable to new readers. 

Depending on which era or format comic or the comic line the Batman comics are very dark and mature

Let me rephrase by saying I hate mint-chocolate chip ice cream. That cake honestly doesn’t sound too bad.

Aaarghhhhhh!

No, I totally get it, but...

I got hot chocolate this morning and I was about a second away from putting a wintergreen Altoid in it.....then i remembered im not a psychopath 

Why do you have wintergreen anything?  I mean, it's not like chocolate can make something worse when it's already the worst.

Because peppermint sucks, and wintergreen tastes how bengay smells and I like it

It's a good thing I know you're using wintergreen to troll people, which is appreciated.
