[X] My Assistant

You'd be surprised. Not to say that I have much appreciation of hokey, sentimental videos like that, but they do move some people to action.

You're probably right. But the video creator could very easily have picked a REAL child abuse case and shared that to get the message across. The choice to fabricate some sentimental BS to tug at the viewers' heartstrings makes me loathe them. There's a genuine positive message in there, buried by idiotic execution.

I just find it hard to fathom that such a thing can instill courage in a person. Anyone who had it to begin with wouldn't need the video; they would've stepped up, or at least left an anonymous tip with child services, police, etc. People too spineless or too apathetic to do that don't seem likely to be roused to action by a sentimental video. More likely, the video is there for them to forward to friends and maintain the illusion that they are a good person who makes a positive difference in the world.

There are tons of people who will share or "Like" an activist message. Not many who will act on it.

So much fucking wherna in the patch notes thread.

GAME IS HARD.

Cut yourselves, please.

Farewell, oh beautiful DS of mine. Apparently being inside a Nintendo DS case inside a bag under an umbrella failed to protect you from this shitty Korean weather. Traded in for 5 used PS2 / GC games many years past, having provided me at least 30 different game's worth of time in conjunction with your EDGE companion, I am now forced to weep over your death.

Fuck rain. Fuck rain so much.

Did you send it to Valhalla on a burning funeral barge, as per Viking funerary customs?

No. But I moved the sofa chair out of my room because someone who allows his DS to die doesn't deserve to sit on the lap of luxury. I now use a chair that requires me to kneel in penance.

True story.

Those are great for sex.

Dear Washington,

Please stop writing checks you can't cash. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Everyone

Dear Everyone,

I'm dead. Stop bothering me. Also, I invented peanut butter.

Dead,
George Washington Carver.

Might have a classy idea for future moneymaking. Thanks, Kevin Smith, for being such a clever bastard and rendering unto others some great services.

No one make fun of this guy, he's legit: he carved out George Washington.


EDIT: Bad joke, Noah. Baaaaaaaaaaaad*.

* Sheep joke is equally bad.

I don't get it...

Violins will never solve anything.

Uhh... I have a cyst in my brain too.

They're really not that hard.

Hence the cyst.

Violence and violins sound similar.

Hence, the bottom pair of panels where the violin is unable to solve the crossword problem.

The joke has now been ruined.

Rob already cleared it up. Thanks for nothin'.
