The petitions to make this a series are probably redundant. Whole point of pilots is that show-creators make an inexpensive prototype of their show that's just for the network execs to see. The reason they've posted this on their Youtube channel is because they're probably gonna make it a show.

Would be a welcome addition too. CN is axing nearly all of its prime time shows in the next year or so.

"acting black means using broken english and if you speak properly it means you are trying to act white"

Calling black-English 'broken' is pretty false. They've done research on this, and African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) is both linguistically consistent and sensical.

If you're going off regular American English grammar rules, parts of AAVE are technically 'wrong', but so are lots of grammatical conventions and phrases that we use today. If you went back in time to 1790 and talked to random people on the street, they'd think you're handicapped/illiterate.

Xidnaf did a really good video on AAVE. After you watch it, you can scroll down to the comments and laugh at all the angry tribals getting pissy about Xidnaf 'taking ebonics seriously'.

Tim Ovens demonstrating a John Cage prepared piano piece

I love John Cage's prepared piano stuff. It kind of reminds me of gamelan music.

this is my fav one:

Not a big fan of 'deli' subs. I like my charcuterie chopped up on a board w/ cheese and fruit, not on a sandwich. Just my personal taste.

And lets not all forget that there are only two sperm cells, male and female. Just because you call yourself a transgender male doesn't mean you're a female, it means you're still a male that's just attempting to morph into a female body.

Trans folks aren't disputing that biological love exists, they're saying that gender, as opposed to love, should be about self-identification. You can bring up that they've got love-chromosomes, but they already know that, and you're missing the point they're trying to make.

Well guess what bud? That's not how it works in real life. In real life, you stick to one gender, the gender you are given, and that's it.

They know this as well. It's a rule that our society uses. We used to say 'marriage is between a man and a woman', and 'blacks and whites can't intermarry', but things do change occasionally.

That's really bizarre. I think if this didn't take place in Japan (where there's like, a cultural sort-of opposition to divorce), they would have separated real quick.

Also, it was the husband's decision, and Japan is a hugely patriarchal society.
