Well.. Simple question and discussion, eh?

Do you watch any of them?

I'm an avid watcher of SP and I sometimes watch FG. But The Simpsons has gotten boring in recent years quite frankly, ever since the movie (which I do like actually). I've tried American Dad, but it's bleh. I like Ugly Americans too.

I can't stand south park. At all.

I do like The Simpsons and Futurama. I usually enjoy American Dad somewhat. I enjoy Family Guy about half the time. Ummm...That's it I guess.

I used to like Family Guy a lot more but I still watch it every now and then. I also used to watch Drawn Together when it was on. I might be in a minority here, but King of the Hill used to be my favorite "adult" cartoon on television. Too bad Mike Judge decided to stop doing the show.

I agree that the simpsons has gotten boring. I agree with the notion that the writers of the simpsons have made fun of everything and are all out of ideas. There is nothing left to write about. They have been on for over twenty years for crying out loud. How could they continue without some kind of decline? Do they have a bottomless bucket of ideas or has the oil well been tapped out? I'm sure they'll think of something but I can not see what else they can do with that show. I watch the reruns quite often but I usually don't bother watching the new episodes every week.

The one thing I do not like about adult cartoons is the tendency of the shows to resort to nonsensical and crude humour. What I like about the simpsons is that while there is still some stupid humour there is a lot less vulgarity than in many other shows. The simspons is still a very silly show but there are some clever jokes as well. The simpsons makes fun of reality more than any other adult cartoon and I can not get enough of the parodies. The simpsons is true satire. South park also makes fun of real attitudes and includes parodies but it is too over the top for me. I do not mean to be a party pooper but I enjoy real jokes more than I enjoy nonsensical humour in the form of talking bears and aliens in the attic. It is just too silly for me. Sorry for spoiling the fun but I do not feel comfortable laughing at anything too ridiculous.

I don't watch any of them. I find them too foul. There's nothing "adult" about them. They're mostly rude, foul, and obscene. I don't want to waste my time with that.

I grew up on cartoons, from the very first made for TV cartoon, Crusader Rabbit, through all the Hanna-Barbara junk, to the superimposed mouths in the mostly static Clutch Cargo cartoons, til finally the adult animated shows of today. I love the old Bug Bunny/Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies, and it killed me when they were replaced by mostly drivel on TV (Animaniacs or the Looney Toon kids). Thank goodness The Simpsons came along and rescued adult humor. I've watched South Park, but found it actually sort of boring. I enjoy Family Guy but it is a little raunchy. King of the Hill, while having some really good real life situations didn't interest me that much (the whole character of LuAnn really made me cringe, talking especially but everything else, too).

I do enjoy edgier stuff, like Trippin the Rift, Drawn Together, I like Futurama and actually have several DVDs. See, I liked the really early stuff like Out of the Inkwell, some of the early Tom and Jerry. But I also got a kick out of the junk that Crusader Rabbit spawned like Suzy Snowflake, Hardrock, Coco and Joe (get that tune out of your head if you can), Beany and Cecil.

What I really like is when the creators toss out references - and make fun of - cultural icons. When I'm out to dinner with friends, we sometimes talk about the doofus's on Dancing with the Stars, or American Idol, you know, current TV stuff. Now watch a supposed reality show or dramedy (30 Rock, or New Adventures of the Old Christine). Do they ever talk about things people actually talk about? Hah! Not on your life. They don't acknowledge anything about current cultural mores. They all disappoint me because of that. Give the animated writers credit, they know what we're watching and what we think about and talk about, and it isn't all bathroom humor.

added - see, forgot a whole bunch. I liked Daria, that was clean and edgy. American Dad is a little boring. Ugly Americans is a hoot. Are any of the characters still alive, or are they reanimated after being horribly destroyed (like Kenny).

South park, family guy, thngs like that...I'm with shilo there. Blech all around. To much smut and swearing...the jokes are...funny, i'll admit. But i don't like them because the're usually sexual in nature, and i try to stay away from things like that unless they're in good taste. You don't really find much in good taste nowadays... The simpsons is decent but i don't really watch it much either.

      This is a fairly long video by Philosophy Tube,  (Abigail Thorne)  Discussing some of Judith Buttler's work and related stuff.   I wasn't sure where to post it, so if there is a better place, move it.

      I have a fantastic therapist. She is so caring she has helped me open up so much. Unfortunately, She is ending her internship. Do to a hiring freeze at the VA she isn't going just go right into a position there.  My Endo is out of the Denver VA hospital. I haven't talked with her in probably 2 yrs. I am  looking to transfer providers and get back to seeing a GYN at the Cheyenne VA.

      Shopping at the mall today and helping out at Torrid I excused myself to the restroom. The manager told me the restroom at JC Penny was much closer (I normally use the family restroom in the food court).   Upon arrival I discovered that JC Penny doesn't have a family restroom, it's either or.   The men's room was occupied with customers, and me going in with large breasts, long hair, and makeup was going to cause a stir, so I opted for the woman's room instead. I was the only one in the woman's room.    Texas state law does state that your must use the restroom that matches your chromosomes, and it's a misdemeanor to not do so, but it seemed to be the best choice (I really needed to go!)

      I had some guy grab my butt on the ship.  I don't know how "real" it was, but I did not enjoy that at all.  Also did not enjoy the hazing I saw other people going through.  One person can only do so much to stop that when there are 10 people doing it.

      I pulled this out of a stack of old military mementos yesterday.  I guess I didn't realize how cool this one was because I did so much of this kind of thing back then.

      This internet video thing is pretty amazing.  I'd call it Zoom, but there are other platforms out there.  I prefer Zoom over Teams because Zoom puts me and everyone else in the same picture.  I like seeing the whole group in one shot.  Teams of course is about having so many people that you can't get them in the shot, or is it?   Just saying that I have never met any of my counselors in person.  Doctors, of course I have and I am lucky there.  They are 3.5 miles from my house as is the main transgender surgery place in town.  I've been doing virtual visits with the medical doctors lately though.  It feels like once I became steady state, they don't need to interact with me physically that much.  I have enjoyed going into their office in my nice clothing.

      I guess a lot depends on where you start and where you wanna end up.  For me, doing the "boy form" thing has come with disadvantages.  Smaller skeleton, thinner bones, and skinny/tiny everything.  I'll never be taken seriously.  I guess the advantage is that my way of blending in is just kind of confusing.  "Mommy, is that a boy or a girl?"    One of the biggest arguments for starting transition early in life is I think it gives a person a greater ability to pass.  My two MtF friends started early, and pass really well.  They never got to the larger bone structure, beard, deep voice stuff.  Me being intersex (which is more complicated) and not getting around to "boy form" until my 30's, my body size and features were pretty much set in stone.      You're lucky.  Some folks pay all that and more, even AFTER insurance.  One of my friends faced the choice last year - pay for her final year of college or pay for her meds.  She's taken a year off from college to work and save up money to finish.    My medical expenses have been more injury-related than therapy or medication   The state covered some of it with a fund for crime victims, insurance covered a lot, but there's ended up being a few thousand dollars spent out-of-pocket since 2022 to put me back together again.  I've never found a decent therapist, but my husband has a psych degree among other things, so I figure talking with him is almost as good.  I do have a good doctor, although I have to drive a long way to a big city to see her.  Mostly she takes a basic look at me, and writes another year's prescription.  Since I'm non-op and only using testosterone cream for a localized effect, its pretty simple stuff.

      I'm a tracker and I've paid for 100% of my transition costs out of pocket.  Counseling was a huge, huge part of my transition and well worth my money.  Not to be uppity about all of this.  I'm just sharing information I have because I have it and it may be useful for others.  Here is my analysis of my spending on transition over the last 2.5 years:   Medical Doctors and Blood Draws: $2,397 Counseling: $3,800 Medications (brand name): $2,702.85 Medications (generic): $485.39 Total: $9,385.24   I picked up on the internet early in transition that transition is a consumer activity.  I tend to agree with that.   This year (Jan - May 18th, 2024), I've spent: Medical Doctors: $102 Medications: $241.52 Total: $343.52   So I'm on a much more sustainable path with it.  I'm pretty happy with where I am with it, although I do still desire surgery and am nervous about how that will all unfold.  But my doctors have me on this steady state thing.  I could seek out other medications, but what I'm doing is good enough.  Oh, I'm missing something....  I did a bunch of electrolysis that didn't appear to have any effect.  I've always enjoyed shaving and I use pink shaving cream now (I've got some lipstick blond in me).  It's good enough.  Not sure if I'll do electro or laser in the future.  The need to shave my body has become less and less.  Before HRT, I was shaving my body weekly or even every 5 days.  Now it is more like 2-3 weeks.  Everyone's body hair is different.  My beard is very coarse and stiff while my body hair has been somewhat minimal and light.  It's nice to have smooth legs and not have to shave as much.   Counseling was $200/session.  I tried one or two counselors before I found one who resonated with where I really was.  When I was prescribed HRT, I didn't fill the prescription until 4 months later.  I had to take some time to decide that I really wanted to take on that lifetime financial commitment.  And of course the possibly negative health consequences too, but I think I was actually thinking more about the finances of it all.  Maybe 51%.   I did a lot of work to revitalize my career before jumping into medical transition.  I started counseling 3 months before I got the best paying job of my life.  The pressure of wanting to transition was so great that I couldn't wait any longer.  She was coming out.  Even though I had very little money, I splurged on some nice dresses and a full length mirror and then started counseling.  Sometimes you just have to move forward and hope for the best.  Other times it is better to wait and do some hard work.  The grace of it all..

      And when the pressure is released it sucks in heat.  I had a regulator leaking and it was covered with ice.  It's how a heat pump works as well.   Why do they always pick names like this?  It's like the exact opposite of what it really is. I hate politics so much.  But I still have to follow it.

      Wonderful!  This reminds me of a discussion I had with my brother a decade ago.  I said that things expand when they get hotter.  He said, no, they expand when they get colder.  And I had to think about that for a while.  The weird thing is that H20 is special in that when it reaches freezing, it expands.   The pressure makes the cold and then we see the condensation.
