I've never made a music playlist and I don't intend to. I don't have a problem with the idea of making playlists but I just prefer to listen to the entire album than make a playlist. The album itself is my playlist.

I made a playlist of albums.

Weekday afternoon cartoons > Saturday morning cartoons

I want to go further into this. Looking back I'm starting to believe that Saturday morning cartoons were just not that good in fact I would dare say kinda overrated once you take the nostalgia goggles off. I'm not going to pretend that there weren't any good shows on Saturday mornings because there were but there's also a lot of garbage on tv on Saturdays. Even shows that were originally on Weekdays like TMNT and Ghosbusters started to suck once they moved to Saturday mornings. I just seems like the better cartoons were on after school. Fox Kids, Disney Afternoons and later on Toonami. I know weekday cartoons were mostly action/adventure but you still had shows like Tiny Toons, Animaniacs and Goof Troop. Also when I think about it SNICK on Nickelodeon was more enjoyable to watch on Saturdays than Saturday morning cartoons.

Dude, you're just too young. I watched Birdman before he had a law degree, Space Ghost before he had a talk show, and Sea Lab when it was only 2020. Once upon a time, Saturday mornings were fire.

Saturday morning cartoons were better in the age before there were prime time cartoons.

Actually, both the Flintstones & the Jetsons started in prime time, a few years before the Hanna-Barbera action block on Saturdays.

I think the only Saturday morning cartoon I was into was Garfield and Friends, which was one of my favorites. Other than that lone exception, I echo your sentiments.

All of that sounds awful and is probably making Kudasai's case stronger.

My advice to all...

When it comes down to a choice between a big income and a steady, predictable income, ALWAYS pick the steady one.  Picking the big one comes with a strong risk of losing it.  Replacing it is a nightmare.

I’m becoming more convinced that there are no worse people on this earth than wrestling fans. And I say this as a wrestling fan.

Macho Man vs Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania III is the most overrated Wrestlemania match ever. I've wanted to say this for years. It's not a bad match but I just don't think it's as great as it been hyped up to be. I've seen better matches than this one sorry not sorry.

When code enforcement approves it, it's livable.  It doesn't need a pool, a tennis court, a six car garage or five imported marble staircases.

Yes, Wario shouldn't have been playing Candy Crush like that.

I'm glad Gen Z gives shitty customer service. Their wages are absolute shit and many are barely trained and working on skeleton crews. These boomers who lived during a time when all the cashier lines were manned can complain all they want if they wanna blame young people instead of greedy ass corporations that are directly responsible for ruining contemporary retail experiences.

When I miss a phone call from someone I know, they can expect a return call (or text) within a few days or a few months. I realize this is wishy-washy but I make no apologies for it.
