Good things? Mmm... Overall, lots of humor to be had.

Dobson and the whole Assigned Male bullshit makes me want to avoid same-face syndrome in art and improve anatomy, among other things.

Enter is a good warning about what happens when you don't have a larger reference pool, because he has such a small reference pool (past two decades of mostly American cartoons, avoiding anything with overarching plots at that) and I try to keep my media watching/reading/gaming/etc. varied, even with some favored styles/genres/ect. His whole train-wreck of a show idea is also a fucking goldmine of his own hypocrisy.
 
All the lolcows who draw badly (or at least mediocre-ly(sp?)) have inspired me to get off my ass and focus on improving my drawing skills.

The really catty Tumblrinas also serve as an example of who I should aspire to NOT be like.
 
Connor taught me that taking just one class is a very bad idea. He also shows the worst possible case when someone denies their own disability and ends up stuck in a cycle.

The Channel Awesome group taught me how Internet Reviewing can be a curse at times.(Of course its not always in every case like Red Media Letter is going very well.)

Chris served as a wake up call to get my shit going in life or else it's too late.

The Neurodiversity moment showed me how bad things have gotten with people's mindset on autism. It showed me how that group and Autism Speaks is a example of two factions trying to do the right thing, but each have a very wrong mindset that ends up confusing the public making matters worse. It gives me thoughts on volunteering somehow to help adults with autism.

- The Slaton sisters and TITP are the best fitspiration I have ever seen.
- Watching Connor encourages me to grow a pair, get off my arse and get stuff done.
- Chris lets me know that if all else fails, I can become infamous for a shitty comic and sell poorly-made merchandise to trolls with more money than sense.
 
Lots of good came from lolcows in my experience. I may be lactose intolerant, but I can drink the sweet milk of the lulz and not have the added bonus of a full body cleanse.

So let's start. Chris Chan taught me never to become very obsessed with something to the point that you put actual responsibilities on the back burner. Chris also taught me that I shouldn't be focused on trying to find a girlfriend and that true happiness comes from taking things in stride. He also taught me that I shouldn't become more angry than necessary since it's potentially dangerous and can have huge consequences.

The Slaton Sisters are a reminder that I should continue my regular sessions at the gym and playing soccer since it's a good way to stay healthy. They're also a reminder to eat a balanced diet.

Pixyteri is a reminder that I shouldn't push my fondness of anime onto anyone. If you like it, great. If you don't, I disagree with you, but respect your opinion and won't try to tell you that you're wrong. She's also a reminder of why it's important to distinguish fiction from reality. Yes, anime is awesome, but nothing will ever compare to real life.

The loveshies also taught me the importance of treating women with respect and to accept the fact that sometimes it really is your fault and that one needs to constantly improve if they want a relationship.

And finally with no particular lolcow in mind it has been demonstrated to me that it's important to respect other cultures and not assume yours is superior or inferior to any other. But most importantly, I have learned just why continuing my education is important and that it will indeed be worth it in the end.
