    The problem is he won't stick to any ideas that aren't about himself and 10 is a lot of things for him to remember.

    While I'm also not a huge fan of the ticktock format I understand that a lot of people get their news that way so it makes sense to mock it. It also gave us this gem.

    That list looks pretty good. If you find yourself enjoying it, give the "bad" episodes a shot, because I can't think of any truly bad episodes just ones that aren't as great. But that post sums up...

    But that post sums up my feelings on the show, it laid the ground work for so much that followed.

    You can go in blind. It is stand alone and you don't need to know any lore to appreciate it.

    I'm surprised Hilda (Netflix) hasn't been mentioned yet. And then there is the classic that is Batman the animated series (as well as the rest of the DCAU)

    I have very little interest in dance videos but the YouTube algorithm put this in front of me and I'm really glad I gave it a chance. The costumes, cinematography and of course dancing is enchanting.

    I was also impressed with the live performance which is just as impressive and really highlights the talent since it is all one take.

    I would argue that the prevalence of animal traits to the plot and characters is the key indicator of furry-ness. Zootopia is more of a furry story than Bojack because the plot focuses on the dynamics between animals, you can replace all the animals in Bojack with people and all you really lose are a lot of great puns and jokes.

    Likewise Beastars is just CW Zootopia.

    Also just in general Furries get a bad wrap, and that has lead to a knee jerk reaction against these kinds of story telling tropes.

    To be fair the target audience for these shows makes a difference, One Piece and Cowboy bebop both have well endowed characters but One Piece is a Shonen made for kids (not that there is anything wrong with that), cowboy bebop is for teens.

    There is also a difference between live action and animated sexual content. I can't explain it but I think most would agree there is something different about it (not saying that there is anything wrong about it though).

    To be clear I personally am a fan of both, but OddTaxi is a show where the characters happen to be animals, Beastars on the other hand, the characters being animals is a big part of the story, and the characters are also horny teenagers, it is very much a furry show.

    So for that reason I'll have no problem recommending OddTaxi to someone but I'll make sure the coast is clear before I even mention Beastars.

    Anime's biggest barrier to wider appeal is how pervy it is. Many anime fans become accustomed to it and forget that it's there, leading them to recommend shows that would otherwise be great.

    A prime example is One Piece, a great show that has a lot of well endowed women in skimpy outfits, the Netflix live action show removes all that horniness and is way more accessible for it.

    And it's not just obvious stuff, smaller things like how many scenes are characters talking while the camera is focused on their ass, talking about lolis, and other stuff like that.

    And for the record I think Odd taxi is a great recommendation, Beastars is not.

    Everyone is commenting on how fairies don't exist, yet it is a common term for a gay man. So between a gay guy and a walrus, the walrus is definitely more surprising.

    I mean he was pushing back against his base back when he was running for president. This clip I think exemplifies his disappointment in what the Republican became.

    The only thing that stood out to me was California and Texas working together, I wonder if they are going to justify why they would secede together or just gloss over it because the 2 of them together would be a credible threat.

    Ep2 is my favorite kind of Who episode, take something normal-ish and make it terrifying. Not-things are the perfect level of uncanny creepiness.

    I had this same issue, I was able to recover the key but in the end it didn't work. I was lucky enough to have an extra key registered to my windows account from an older laptop though.
