But what about the reason they cancelled it? Which if you didn't know was that it had a primarily female audience. They wanted a show for young boys so they could sell lots of toys. Girls apparently both don't buy as many toys as boys do and often avoid toys made for young boys. So despite its popularity it got the axe. Girls loved it for its more evolved sense of character interaction and subplot. As did a more grown up audience. Which also wasn't going to buy toys made for young boys.
So is it really back? Or is this a dumbed down show remade to appeal to its target audience of young boys? Like what Teen Titans into Teen Titans Go was remade into for a good example.
teen titans go is a hilarious parody. I love the episode that parodies young justice in particular, lampooning the latter's over the top seriousness. After an unusual amount of writer's room change ups and a step away from hard comic jokes that noone got except maybe me, the show seems to have found its feet, and enjoys poking fun at itself.
Teen titans original was not going to last after they brought what was arguably the best comic book storyline of its time period into an animated, sanitized format(the Terra thing makes me laugh for days and days, as does the pg-ing of starfire...Loooool oh man). Without a comic storyline to base its episodes off of, the show was doomed. At least young justice has at least two story arcs from the comic if I'm counting correctly to bring to the small screen, with no small amount of loose ends from the end of season 2 to wrap up.

I'm going to head over to Total Wine and More today to take advantage of the second free stemless wineglass coupon we received. While I'm there, I'm going to give them a list of some beer recommendations. I might also be tempted to apply for a job.
Can't keep working for so little money,...
Too busy to go look for a real job,...
What's a guy to do? ;P
Happy Hump day!!!
(The week is half over, the week is half over,...) :)

Today has turned out nice. The nature preserve had an excellent walk out to a marsh island and beach complex. Those of you on FB can catch some photos I took. It's a beautiful Fall day on Cape Cod and I am in a very Zen mood.

Alcohol-fueled ramblings, part 107:
Isn't it crazy that people are still telling stories about the ancient Greek gods and heroes thousands of years later, long after the religion itself faded into obscurity? Just think of how many other ancient cultures can say that. I mean, there are the Norse sagas, but they've only been around for half as long as the Greek stuff. Aside from that? Not much.
Something about those Greek dudes, man. I wonder if 3,000 years in the future, people will be making video games and YA novels about Joseph Smith. That would be pretty f##&ing weird.
That is interesting. Would you think it was perhaps that the Greeks and their stepchildren the Romans built a large body of literature around their mythology? Thus as Western Civilization evolved from the wreckage of the Roman Empire these religious themes survived?
I mean, I am not a Judaeo-Christian, but I know the Bible, and I think it is an important text, religion non withstanding, just because of the literally hundreds of literary works that use it as a cultural touchstone.
It was a lot of luck actually. They were conquered by another civilization that adopted their language and used their myths and dramas as school textbooks and as a writing guidelines. Then, the remains of both civilizations happened to be a highly influential on following phases of European civilization, including science, philosophy, with the later language being basis for multiple languages around. And their languages became basis of philosophy, science, and teaching and their literary works were used as textbooks and writing guidelines and passed into popular media.

Whatever the cause may be, double-space is no longer industry standard and must be put to the sword.
In comparison Sumeria was engulfed by Assyrians Babylonians (ok, that's a big simplification of history of that region but it must do for now), who absorbed a lot of Sumerian culture and myths, updating them to their own language (though dropping their language). However, they were later conquered by Persians, Parthians, Greeks (technically Macedonians who conquered Greek and were assimilated by their culture), Parthians, Persians again, and then Arabs. All of them were less inspired by their literary culture, and what's more, less inspired by their language.
The same applies to Egyptians, who were later conquered by Persians, Greeks (though those actually were adapting parts of Egyptian culture and religion to themselves), and later Romans. The most popular Egyptian myths were preserved, but strongly reshaped by Greek culture. While names of Greek gods were kept, practically all the names of Egyptian gods we use are actually Hellenizations...

Man that s~** is hard-wired into my brain. Why tf did they have to change it? Like it matters two spaces, one space.

It matters in terms of valuable page space. SHAME.
Also, I see what you did there.
Two spaces. TWO!!! It will always be that way.

Like Hemingway once said, "write drunk, edit drunk."
Wait, that's not right...
Wait, no, I got it. It wasn't Hemingway, it was Peter de Vries.
The novelist, that is. Not to be confused with Piter de Vries, the drug-addicted human computer.

Saving.... what? 15 spaces per page ? Max?

Only if you're using monospaced type, like on a typewriter. And who uses typewriters anymore? What is this, the Dark Ages? Everyone knows that wax tablets are the way of the future.

OK, that's reasonable. And you don't even have to worry about the whole double-space thing, because cuneiform doesn't really have any punctuation.

Although
considering
that

rather

why
this
push

My

has
256

I
could
