10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Who's upset?
And just FYI as soon as I saw that you were trying to do some "look at how different I am than everyone else" list, I stopped reading.
Edit: Until I saw mst3k and had to see what the context for that was... LOLOL yeah I've never heard of any of those super obscure shows like The Adventures of Pete and Pete hahahaha. My guy, you know nothing about me.
Btw we're all super impressed though
I'm not different from everyone else. Lots of people really love those shows that I listed. Mystery Science Theater 3000 won a Peabody Award and had one of the all-time record Kickstarters for a reboot because it was so beloved. Northern Exposure won multiple Emmys. Let me guess, I'm also "different from everyone else" because I consider the apex of TV to be Star Trek.
I'm trying to explain to you that not everyone shares your tastes, but you seem to be unable to fathom that. You also seem to be under the hilarious impression that you've heard of every great TV show out there because only someone who wanted to show how different they were might love a show you didn't.
So fine, anyone who doesn't consider the exact same TV shows you do to be the greatest one ever is a fool, a monster and lower than pond scum. Glad we've established that and can all move on with our lives.
