    Is it possible to wall mount a TV at an angle? I just googled it and there are mounts that let you tilt the TV down. But I want to tilt to horizontally, not vertically.

    Explanation: Our current TV faces diagonally right because it's near the left side of the room. We can do this because the TV's stand is in the center. But all TVs now have legs that are on the sides instead of the middle. I imagine this offers more stability, but it means we can't turn the TV diagonally without it falling off. So if this TV breaks and we have to get a new one we are very screwed. I was wondering what our options are and a diagonal-facing mount seemed like the best solution to me, assuming such a thing exists. Any suggestions?

    Oh my god. There's actually a TV show where Z list celebrities dress up in costumes and masks and dance and Y list celebrities behind a desk have to guess who they are....

    What has become of humanity? We're supposed to be the apex species. It's difficult to believe the same species landed a man on the moon, wrote great music, built pyramids etc. Instead of doing great things we pay money to watch this shit.

    I just realized it's kinda weird how my taste in TV is so evenly split into thirds between live action, western animation, and anime. People usually lean on one or two. But I've got Lost, Gunslinger Girl, and The Simpsons all hanging out together, among other examples.

    So I'm looking at the shows in my top 50 I got into in the past five and a half years (or post high school): Pony, Baby Steps, Buffy, Braceface, Star Trek TNG, Cutthroat Kitchen, Gravity Falls, Young Justice, Kodocha, We Bare Bears, Adventure Time, The X Files, Game of Thrones, Angel, F is for Family, Kotoura-san, Pokemon Origins, and Yuki Yuna is a Hero.

    I expected to like a third of those at most. Most of them were real shots in the dark that curiosity or it just being available to click on led me into. I think the reason I try way fewer shows than games is that I have a much harder time predicting what shows I'll like. Gravity Falls and The X Files are the only shows on that list I had high hopes for, with Angel and Adventure Time being runners up. I guess I just have to try anything that crosses my path.

    I wonder if I'll ever see a perfect show. Not moment to moment perfect of course, that's impossible. I mean a 10/10 show without a MAJOR flaw. The Simpsons continues after its first decade. Pony I dislike a fourth of the episodes. Digimon is a guilty pleasure, it has all sorts of problems. And Baby Steps has a really slow start and I don't think it'll be very rewatchable. Who knows?

And Pony seasons 4 and 5 weren't too far from being as good as 1-3, and even season 6 wasn't bad though I wouldn't mind if it stopped now.
