Ben Grimm from Earth-616 imo

No environmental collapse and global extinction

So you’re arguing a mix of Voltaire’s “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.” and John Lennon’s “God is a concept by which we measure our pain”?

These are the first three I found:

parents argue about divorce while I play tennis on the wii and cry-ASMR

Your parents are arguing downstairs while you distract yourself by playing wii sports bowling ASMR

It’s 2010 and Your playing wii sports while your parents fight in the hallway about money recession

My alma mater had a café named Foo Bar in a computer science building

The bottom image? No, that’s some unknown artist’s photoshop that has been floating around the internet for a few years.

Thanks for the shoutout. For gluttony, Khan says in Space Seed that the planet will present “A struggle at first even to stay alive, to find food” and in Wrath of Khan he says the crew had “only the contents of these cargo bays to sustain us”; maybe something more fitting could be made out of those?

I knew that guy looked sketchy

If any series revival can match the tone, quality, and humor of a show before cancellation, I’d hope it would be Gumball. The animation does look a little too “clean” and modern imo. Darwin’s voice actor doesn’t seem confident in delivering the lines but hopefully he’ll grow into it. Not a lot of material to go by so far but looking forward to it.

I mean I guess that’s sort of the point I’m stuck on. The situations I’m describing, such as in the post we’re on, are that which I cannot see as creative or active. They seem passive and overwhelming and able to genuinely convince someone of that which is clearly not there. They are of the imagination, yes, but they seem to rely on some form of unprompted and willful cognitive dissonance.

??? That is wildly off the mark. I’m a full on supporter of intrinsic motivation to create. I’ve defended art for the sake of expression repeatedly on this account, and I abhor when people play to the gallery. My confusion is with passive conviction of anthropomorphism rather than anthropomorphism arising only out of driven intent.
