In the anime, Ed comes on pretty strong at first, but there are also episodes where she’s borderline catatonic. I won’t argue that 1:1 adaptations are going to be a lot closer to “Doomed to ignoble failure” than “Simply treat the material with respect and fans will accept it”. How much arm flailing or chibi shit in…

Ultimately, a large segment of the fanbase will Be Mad.

I hate to sound like an anime snob, because I don’t watch or care about it enough, but “grating off-putting shit with an absolutely heartbreaking backstory” is even more of a trope than “tough karate guy who is secretly nice”, which is how I read her in the anime.

Skinny rubber bands on a big wheel can look pretty dope, but yeah that first bill for 2 cracked rims or new set of tires looks extremely not-dope.

I’ve just swapped the stock all-seasons with some good (Pilot Sport 4S) summer tires, and can get a couple more under 7500-mile years doing that. If it’s too crappy for the stockers I don’t really need to go anywhere anyway.

My coworkers were gobsmacked I could do the Chicago RedEye crossword in under 10 min (they’re easily impressed), but it was like only a hundred different words and eventually even the clues recycled.

GTI in Chicago - in ‘18 they put the R brakes on them, so the smallest wheel that clears the calipers is.... the factory 18"s

It’s like those hoary old articles that get trotted out every couple years

Also keep in mind that the Mk.7's were generally generously underrated. GTI’s were making like 225 at the wheels, and R’s 300+. Plenty of internet shit-talkers claiming even higher numbers. And that’s before an APR tune on cars that love APR tunes.

It’s a Brando biopic for me, going from young and sexy and full of potential to bloated and insane. Not sure how we’re going to get the “young” footage at this point, but I guess they can CGI anything these days.

I just threw on a delightful open-nipple push-up and a “WELCOME TO KEY WEST WHERE THE DRIVE TAKES ALMOST AS LONG AS IT DOES TO READ THIS SENTENCE BY THE WAY GO TO HEMINGWAY’S AND BUY YOUR OWN ONE OF THESE IN THE GIFT SHOP!”-36pt-font embroidered banana hammock, because all of my bedazzled jockstraps are at the…

She could have been a better sport, and told her attack dog to chill out, but she can dress however the fuck she wants.

Having done security and dealt with (not many, which is still too many) celebrities with bodyguards who body-check people literally just standing around, fuck all of this. If you’re actually famous you don’t need to see people get kidney-punched over how famous you are.

Like I said, I also encounter him very little, but I think there’s a version of mainstream pop-culture where you leave the TV on in the background and share things on FaceSpace where you see him at least once an hour.

He’s basically like if you didn’t like Dom DeLuise, but Dom DeLuise is up in your face multiple times a day, and all around you are people screaming at you “HE’S QUIRKY AND LOVEABLE - ASK HIM TO DO THE THING WHERE HIS VOICE IS FUNNY!!!!”

And not only that, it’s a series that benefits from being a bit cartoon-ey, so it’s not like needing bleeding-edge graphics have been what’s holding developers back.

It’s the same attitude as people who want the roads repaved and the fire department to show up, then do everything they can to get out of paying taxes.

I think that the infinite well of good will, empathy, and urging to not rush to judgement that swells at your breast is better used on an extremely long list of people before we make it down to Dave Portnoy.

Yes, but Nascar is trying to improve their image. Barstool is all about rolling around in the shit and cum screeching “TRIGGERED, LIBFAG?”

Even if every single thing about him is a lie, guy still gets his dick hard by siccing the worst people on the internet on his critics. These are his own words and actions, typed by his little fingers.
