I watched a lot of it back in the day and by like season 10 (I have no clue how long it ran) I realized it was super boring and bad. There would be jokes as lame as “dude owns a Nintendo 64”. That was the entirety of the joke.

Also there is a long running arc about a main character who is physically incapable of talking to women unless he is intoxicated (aka alcohol).

Look Starbucks owes Peet’s everything. That company started off buying from Peet’s.

Like I said, just 1%. I should have said it wouldn’t be good if CPB grants stopped coming. I’m just more upset that the direct line of attack misunderstands what is really happening. These organizations are very important. To blatantly say Congress funds them isn’t just incorrect but potentially harmful to how other organizations that rely on outside money are treated.

Off the top of my head I don’t know if PBS (likely the same as NPR) but NPR is not funded by fucking Congress!!! You fucking idiots don’t know what Congress does or does not fund. NPR gets grants from CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting) which was created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, which LBJ signed into law. CPB only accounts for 1% of NPR’s annual budget.

If the dumbass wants something legitimate to complain about, then complain about what CPB gives grants for.

EDIT: I realize the article mentions CPB, and I clearly wrote this before reading it. My point stands. Congress does not allocate any money directly to either NPR or PBS. If these cultural institutions are going to be attacked by clueless people, someone better be explaining what they got wrong.

It’s a Bay Area company. They aren’t all over the U.S. According to a map on their website there are 286. Approximately 47.5% are located in the Bay Area.

Well they have been caught multiple times buying from slave labor farms in Brazil, buying from a farm with child labor in Guatemala and possibly contributing to the decline of commodity prices in 2019 (which was under a $1).

This is specifically a homage to the X-Men swimsuit special. It would be only appropriate.

We have to assume this was after the reforms Zek enacted took affect.

This is why Ronnie Cox returned for Prodigy.
