I would watch the sh*t out of that movie.

I understand the sentiment, though I’m pretty sure any number of people would have come up with the rationalization. Sadly, humans have an enormous capacity for inventing excuses for behavior that benefits them - even far worse things than just being selfish greedy f*cks. Calvin just happened to be the guy who got…

Possibly. I’d prefer a coupe to a four door though.

American Muscle like the Camaro/Mustang/Challenger is going to be at least 1000 pounds heavier. It’s lots of fun - I have one now. I wanted something lighter and more nimble, but without sacrificing power - or at least not sacrificing so much power that it became a noticeable loss of acceleration.

Compared to the cars at the time, absolutely.

It’s too bad really, and kind of mind boggling. This is exactly the class of car I’ll be looking at when I upgrade next year. I guess I’ll be stuck somewhere between underpowered like the brz/gt86 and too expensive (but awesome) like the GT-R or NSX.

Gravity is just a Chinese hoax, after all. /s

I should probably note that reaction comes after having worked as a professional linguist, and having lived abroad (in Japan and elsewhere). It gives you a very different view on hearing it get butchered (which the series is doing for deliberate effect of course). I’m there last person who will tell someone their…

Where’s Bugs Bunny when you need him?

I remain convinced that some way, some how, I ended up on the bad/alternate timeline where everything goes to sh*t, Mister Spock has a goatee, and I can’t seem to find a portal back to the real Earth.

I remember reading an article recently contrasting what was going on with the latest Russia scandal Revelations, with “at this point in Obama’s first term, the scandal was that he ordered a hamburger with Dijon instead of yellow.”

Healthcare Calvinism on steroids. If you’re poor/unhealthy/suck then clearly it’s because you’re a bad person, therefore they don’t have to care about you, let alone share any of their money to help you. Fuck those assholes and fuck their greedy rationalizations for their selfishness.

Pro-forced-birth.

Translation is tricky and difficult work. Almost no two languages have a direct one to one of meaning, use, etc. It gets worse when you start getting into slang or references, or even old sayings. The translator has to figure out how to relate the intent and meaning, while at the same time not eliminating them in the…

The abuse of the Japanese language alone just makes me want to put bleach in my ears. I consider myself a huge geek, but hoooooly crap, hahaha. My friends and I were nowhere near this bad. (Or so I try to tell myself)

Con creepy guy is more about how you act than age. Creepers exist at all age groups, and are actually more likely among college age sorts - those just blend in better.

Yeah, the glitter is what was really nasty in that package. That sh*t gets into EVERYTHING, and you CANNOT get it all out. Ever.

Came here for this, was not disappointed.

You should always get checked out afterward, at least. You can have a concussion/TBI for instance and not realize it immediately, for instance. Might not be life-threatening, but better safe than sorry (or dead).

Just be careful with that on a Mustang. Once they acquire a taste for human blood, it’s downhill from there...
