There was a line in one of the articles on the Yankees / Red Sox London games that said something like U.K. fans might’ve been misled that all MLB games are five hours and end 17-16. And I wanted to know what about any of that was misleading. 

I disagree on both accounts because juiced balls and a bigger strike zone leads to fewer balls in play and balls in play are fun. The game is most exciting when fielders and hitters are running. Not when one guy is jogging around the base paths.

This is what’s funny about the juiced balls. Manfred, you want a shorter game? You need a lot more 1-0 games and such.

As an Ottawan, I can confirm that both of these people are not well liked around here. The “do you know who I am” is taking it to a whole new level for Ms. MacLeod. 

Lisa MacLeod and her fellow Provincial Conservatives, led by the brother of the Toronto mayor who smoked crack, are kind of hilarious right now, because the federal Conservatives told them to basically hide under a rock until the federal election was over so they didn’t blow it, and yet every day there’s something…

i just keep imaging radios in pick up trucks spontaneously bursting into flames

This is getting better and better.
The kid that destroyed country music in 2019 is not only black, but gay ? I love this so much. 

The buffet was truly amazing deal. Salad bar, 8-10 different types of pizzas, plus at least 2 dessert pizzas. win-win-win

I miss the old Taco Bell aesthetic. It’s a weird dichotomy for TB to look like an upscale cafe from the outside as they do now compared to the offerings of Doritos Locos Tacos and Nacho Fries.

:( that’s basically ruining the episode. That was one of my earliest shows with a gay subtext I found it so fascinating and it really made Kaworu’s death even more heartbreaking

idk. gay underage panic? they have no trouble keeping in the straight underage romance/sexuality though. shrugemoji

They took out the word “love” which is closer to the Japanese phrasing. However, in context of the series I think “love” works better. Though was that romantic, platonic, or something else is often up to the individual watching. Which was what made the relationship so interesting. This translation takes the nuance out…

Notoriously subpar? What the hell you talking about? Evangelion’s original dub has generally been considered a solid dub. The liberties you speak of is called localization vs translation. Literal translations are generally bad. Localization takes into account cultural differences and contexts. It can go overboard but…

There is no “right way” or “wrong way” to watch a show. There are just different versions. There is however a legal and easy way and not legal and hard way and the Netflix version is the legal and easy way. So I’d watch that. That being said, I do have some advice. Take time with this show. Its not a good show for…

From what I have seen its a more direct translation of the Japanese script. While the original translation took more liberties to adjust it to the North American context. From an overall perspective I think its better constructed however, as the original script and voice direction is notoriously subpar. Also the voice…

You’re suggesting that if he hid his struggles with mental illness he’d be doing a lot better? 

What is it you’re trying to say here? 

This isn’t the only change... not by a long shot.  

Can you at all fathom that someone with mental health difficulties might not make the decisions you think are proper?

It’s public because he’s struggling and lives a semi-public life. Suffering openly isn’t a weakness and it doesn’t mean he’s acting/being dramatic.

Those and the old Taco Bells that looked like little haciendas are my favorites.  Kind of ironic that the throwback logo is of an aesthetic that hardly exists anymore.  I know of only one PH near us with that roof line and the inverted triangle windows.
