LeBron James returns to Cleveland. The locals are already going insane; people in Cleveland have nothing else to live for apparently.

Saw that the other day, :facepalm: heavily.

In pleasant news, there's this site: http://www.wearehappyfrom.com/ Collection of various countries throughout the whole darn world showing happiness. Know it's been around for awhile, but I love the concept, it's uplifting. The Tokyo and Warsaw ones are fun, Prague just looks gorgeous.

What evidence is everyone going on in assuming that anyone who commented who wasn't like 10 years old was serious? Even the article doesn't state too strongly that any significant number of people involved might have actually been serious.

Or is joking that anyone actually took it seriously part of the joke, because at this point I'd sooner believe myself victim to a jokeception than believe anyone commenting on the pic was being serious.

Thing is, some people are that stupid to believe that sort of thing (have you seen people put on the spot to answer questions on things like Jay Leno's Jaywalking, etc), that's why I don't think everybody leaving comments were joking/sarcasm.

I prefer to be optimistic myself, but still.

Oh wow. That series finally grew up and got serious and stuff? I used to read some Archie digests when I was a kid. The series ultimately bored me so that was the end of it, but I still remember it.

Makes me wish the Pokemon anime would do the same. :lol:

I continue to be amazed at how spot on accurate that OP is even as it's also the greatest troll in the history of anime. It's brilliant.

What's happening in Gaza is truly disturbing, all those innocent people dead, and for what? I'm neither pro Israel or pro Palestinian; I'm just pro humanity and seeing innocent civilians die brings tears to my eyes.

I don't want to start a political debate but I hope everyone sees it in their hearts to raise awareness and donate money to charities who are sending much needed aid to the Palestinians.
