I'm trans and bi lol, not straight.
I've never heard of monster high or any of this stuff OP talked about, I looked it up, seems to be about some sort of cartoon. What's the association with gay people?

That's fair
Szechuan sauce was season 3 though, which I also think is pretty bad, hence me referencing season 7 feeling like a return to those lamer episodes from season 3. All of the sauce stuff was long gone by S4
The dragons and incest is fair enough, but those are the worst episodes of their respective seasons. What's left though is pretty much back to back bangers though.
I guess for me I just truly don't care about the lore or any of that stuff, I liked how it was sidelined for standalone stories after S3 ended apart from the once-a-season space Beth cameo.
I didn't care for the sauce stuff in S3 myself and I basically stopped watching for a long time because of the insufferable fandom.
I was also never a fan of the crude/gross out humour of S1-S3, especially all the jokes about rape and molesting like quite a few early in S1 (namely the episode with the giants in it) or the jokes where X is something that goes up someone's butt like the very literal pilot episode.
I just like parodies, spoofs and satire, my favourite comedies of all time are all early ZAZ stuff (Naked Gun, Top Secret) and S4-S6 has some of the funniest sci-fi spoofs ever made.
IMO, if ever irreverent applied to something as a descriptor then the episode with endless terminators sent back into the past to stop other terminators is it, or the dating app episode, the line where the dude says "love is as abundant as water, you know what isn't? Water. That shit runs out." is just so witty and the fact it follows through on it as the motivation for the aliens in that episode is just fantastic.
Or how about the narrative train episode? Admittedly that one is so overwritten it's probably intended as a joke in and of itself which is a a real love it or hate it deal, but it is another great example of what happens when you put together that perfect writing room where everything just flows and bounces like the golden age of Simpsons S5-S8.
Or heck what about the vat of acid episode? The whole silent musical montage of the romance followed by the tragedy of the crash and the absurd gut punch of the remote button being pressed.
I never thought someone could make an entire TV episode centered on that one gamer moment when you hit quickload instead of quicksave and lose hours of progress yet here we are, and it was a riot the first time I saw it, equal parts terrifying and hilarious.
Absolute peak comedy imo, completely without crudeness or gross out humour which was a lot of early R&M.
I also hate saying this but the show unironically got a lot smarter after season 3 too, just from a recent rewatch there are still jokes that go way over my head S4-S6, compared to S1-S3 which just feel very very simple in comparison, it was strange and nice to learn about art/lit stuff from rick and morty of all things, and yes including what a bechdel test is, as embarrassing as it is to admit.
Then for contrast, there's the first episode of S7 which was just really unfunny? I don't think it had a single joke in it, and it really had the zombie simpsons thing in there with "here's a celebrity you're familiar with" being basically the whole episode, apart from self-flagellating self-referencing fanservice/lore stuff, and the very strange tone shift too, it felt kind of Simpsons movie esque, too cheerful? Felt like I went from the UK The Office to the US The Office. I took that as my cue to check out.
The S7 total recall joke episode would be like a one-time gag in some other high concept spoof in S4-S6, and iirc it feels that way because it quite literally was.
Except now that's just the whole episode. It feels like someone in the writing room said "hey remember Total Recall?".
It's like something out of S1 Futurama in terms of just how simple it is, and in this case the pandering to nostalgia feels really jarring, it feels like something R&M would do as a joke before like the 3DS gag from Season 2 (3?), except now it's real.
It's interesting to hear your perspective, but it does also seem to me like you're misremembering some things slightly, because you and I both agree on the sauce, but you misattribute that to later seasons, whereas that was entirely a thing contained in the first episode of Season 3, and Season 4 didn't come out in full until like 3 years later due to the pandemic. The mainstream attention was basically gone by then.
Not clicking what - a .webm? On catbox of all places? I can understand caution but this is quite paranoid.
This isn't exactly a softpedia dot su link with an .exe.hta you're opening in internet explorer 7 here. It's a .webm from a well known filesharing resource, that you're viewing through a hopefully modern sandboxed web browser.
There's every reason to trust it especially as it makes sense to see it used here - as you can't upload .webms into Lemmy comments sections.
This country's bigotry problem is off the fucking charts. It's a goddamn social experiment at this point.
The elderly are racist and decide elections while charging rent for the privilege, the children are racist and stabbing each other while "antisemitic chanting", shit is getting absolutely nuts, we might pop off before the Americans at this point.
Aren't these contradictory?
These are words, yes.
S7 was quite a steep drop off from the peaks of S4-S6, honestly stopped watching. That episode with the stupid total recall reference and where Jerry and Rick swap bodies or something was absolutely unwatchable, pure cringe, even worse than S3. Have they fixed it yet?
My fav episodes of late are probably the Dino one and "analyze piss", they just felt so subversive and the writing was sharp and witty. Many eps of S4-S6 just have that hyper intense quality to them, especially S5's first ep, that seems to have completely evaporated by S7 and the humour has that zombie simpsons/family guy vibe to it, everything is just going through the motions rather than rapid fire of sci-fi tropes pushed to their most absurdist conclusions that made the earlier seasons shine.

Are you alright in the head? Read ok? Comprehend the words? Then no, obviously it's not a meme, just an opinion, and you're a troll. Blocked.

No, windows is weird, the ISO is not actually a compressed copy of a disk with all the correct partitions and filesystems, instead it's some goofy UFS thing. So unlike Linux, burning it won't work - you can't do or use anything like dd to end up with a bootable drive.
You can create it by hand though, iirc all you'd need to do is make a separate FAT32.EFI partition and copy some of the EFI files in the ISO's EFI folder into that, while placing the rest in a normal NTFS partition, there might be more to it with a recovery partition or something like that involved so def look it up if you ever need to, but that's the gist of it.
The specialized tools like WoeUSB basically do this for you.
