I have this mild paranoia that the dems are going to win Congress just in time to be blamed for the next recession.

Have you asked it not to do that?

What; Afraid your neighbors might find it a tad creepy? Or are they just creepy to look at?

It feels vaguely confrontational to have someone stare at you, knowing that you need to see them every single day/week for the foreseeable future.
Wait, you don't know the etymological origin of the word ‘mascara’?
One of the problems was that they mixed it up with some garbage known as Uncle Grandpa. Showing both back to back. Of course, there's always YouTube.

Context to that: The barn belonged to some of Steven's relatives, and became home to a Gem (the gemstone-based aliens in the series) called Lapis Lazuli after she decided she couldn't go back to the Gems' Homeworld. A bit more recently, Lapis got scared that the Diamonds (the tyrannical, imperialistic leaders of most of the Gems back on Homeworld) would come to Earth looking for Steven (who they believe to be responsible for well... lots of stuff), so Lapis fled Earth and took the barn with her. Turns out she decided to come back and spend some time on the Moon.
And now I just realized that explaining all of that would probably require tons of additional context, and well... yeah, understanding the reveal and why it's so big would probably require just watching a bunch of actual episodes of the show.
Like... you could always just watch one and not the other, regardless of how dumb Cartoon Network's airing schedule is. And yeah, find places online to watch it.
As an aside, Regular Show ended last year and Adventure Time is ending some time in the next month or so, in case you want to catch up on what happened after you stopped watching them.

Ending for good? It has been literal years since I last saw either of them.

Adventure Time has been really good. In particular, the Islands arc was excellent. I feel like most of the big questions have been answered for me over the last couple years on that show, so I'm not extremely excited going into the finale, but apparently there's going to be another Rebecca Sugar song in the finale, so there's that to look forward to.

The same reason as the more extreme high heels
Although at least many high heels make excellent self-defense weapons. Ask any guy who's been stomped in the crotch buy the heel of a high heel.

For the record, stomping is not recommended as the heel can become entangled and cause a fall. Much better to remove the shoe and wield it like a hammer.
CN got completely insane a couple years ago. E.g. new episodes once a week, Mondays at 9:00 p.m. (remember, I go to uni at night) and then repeats Thursdays at precisely 4:11-4:20. Nickelodeon did the same kind of crap with the last two seasons of Korra and then pulled it off the air altogether to show some crap produced by Dan Schneider (Sam & Cat IIRC). So, yes, there's a few series I dropped in favour of anime, videogames and forum games.

keeping it real
My baby momma is an evil ***** and it's really sad the way she's influence my relationship with my kid.
It's... not great, but "disgustingly bad" is being a little hyperbolic, what about it do you hate that much?
Count yourself lucky, their American schedule is way worse than their schedule elsewhere from what I've heard. Like, CN Latin America would never have an airing schedule like this, right?
A lot of lace is rough and extremely itchy, which is why I won't wear it anywhere that it would touch my skin.
Some of it is very soft and delicate, though. It depends on the type of thread, what pattern and method is used to make it, and the skill of the lacemaker.
The original lacemakers were men, btw, and the aristocracy wore a lot of lace (men were also the original patternmakers for needlepoint and cross-stitch, though women finally took over that as well as producing the actual articles). The more you wore, the greater your status, as it was expensive stuff. Some people had lace collars and ribbons that they would attach and detach to/from different items of clothing, to keep up the appearance that everything they owned had lace on it. If you want to see the height of ludicrous amounts of lace, just look at any portrait of Queen Elizabeth I and her court, or portraits of the French aristocracy. People who couldn't, or wouldn't wear lace were considered peasants and deemed unworthy of consideration.
In the Society for Creative Anachronism there are some lacemaking courses offered through the University of Ithra, and one of the people in my local branch took one. She spent the next several years making lace that she intended to use to make herself a court dress. I never took that course, since I had no interest in wearing lace myself, and most of my sewing efforts went into needlepoint items I sold, or odd bits of embroidery or needlework for my science fiction costumes.
