Does that apply solely to domestic attendance?

Yes.

You don't like Tom and Jerry? :'(

I do, sometimes! But it was like, whenever I was sick and had to stay home watching it, it was always the bad/boring episodes. Like the ones from the 70s where they had no animation budget. OR, that one where Tom gets executed with a guillotine at the end, and it’s not played for laughs! It’s straight-up surreal to see something that gruesome when your brain is already addled with a fever!

Also, I used to get sick so often that I would catch them as reruns. Even the enjoyable episodes get hard to watch at that point.

How did they manage to genderize fucking sweaters

This bullshit is $288. LOOK AT THIS. IT DOESN’T EVEN DO ANYTHING FOR YOU.

I could hand-knit a sweater and silkscreen the dumb skull design on myself for that kind of money, and it would be a thousand times warmer and more comfortable.

Hey, I'm interested- what do you find personally appealing about abandoned locations? Do you think you could put into words why you think they're so cool, or is it just some unknowable part of your psyche?

I can explain this, actually! On one hand, I like it on a visual level… Architecture at uneven angles, strange textures, the visual history that might be left behind.. I also love how it often involves nature reclaiming a manmade structures! Like vines climbing up walls, and trees and weeds growing inside buildings.

There’s also something… really compelling about it, in that unknowable kinda way. I really want to be there, to walk around these forgotten places and admire whatever was left behind. My abandoned tag often includes pictures of foggy forests paths and whatnot because they give me that same kind of feeling. It’s a desire to be lost. I also find it tantalizingly creepy to think about empty structures. These places are EVERYWHERE, forgotten homes, and businesses, and places of worship! They’re all over the world! All of ‘em were important and had uses in their time, but now they’re locked away and empty, filling only with daylight and darkness as the days pass, and there’s an excellent chance that no one will step foot in there again. JUST. AUGH. That’s really cool and creepy! If I had any say in my own afterlife, I think I would want to briefly be a ghost so I could go on a wild cross-country road trip.

What do you find so unsettling about the Winnie the Pooh ride? Sorry, rude question, I just don't see it at all.

Something about the sounds all blending together... The camera also keeps catching things that I wouldn’t necessarily notice if I was there. It’s just the forced perspective that weirds me out, I think! It also reminded me of some old nightmares I had that involved riding in an amusement park ride that progressively got more dilapidated and dark the further it progressed.

Hey, I saw you said you wanted to go to that abandoned Oz theme park, and you know, the property owners actually DO hold tours of the place once very year! Now's your chance, you should totally go! XD

Where is it?? How do I go? ohhh wonder of wonders..... That abandoned park looks too good to be true...
